sunday afternoon

sometimes sunday afternoons are perfect for car rides up to salt lake with friends and visiting the temple. even when it is roasting hot outside.
can't wait to see what the next few sundays bring.

how do you sleep without noise again?

dear new york,
i can't sleep without letting you know...
as much as i love utah i am not sure i remember how to sleep without sirens and horns honking all night long. i also really love the mountains but kind of missed feeling so overwhelmed by concrete and metal buildings. and although i love having my hair not go frizzy i kind of missed the humidity today. and as much as i enjoy driving (which is a lot) today i really really missed walking everywhere and taking the subway. and lastly as much as i love food here...i really miss shake shack and billys bakery. i guess what i am trying to say is that i am having a little separation anxiety. looking forward to coming back soon.
sincerely,
xox
longing for the city girl.

ps utah i still love you dearly and i am so glad to be back :)

a little belated

birthday fun! everyone joined in on the birthday fun at billys.
then we hit up johnny utah's for don't worry it is only an energy drink...not even mine. and of course made some new friends at the bar..they even cheered me on while i rode the mechanical bull. thanks friends for all the fun on my special day :)

i love cupcakes

particularly red velvet cupcakes from 'billys' in chelsea. if you come to new york and you like cupcakes you must go here and get one. ah mazing! especially for a light night time treat.

random

why is it that spontaneous trips are so much more fun than a planned trip?
why are road trips so fun....maybe its the rest stops when you get out and watch everyone do heel clicks....maybe its when 5 people all sleep in one room...maybe its make new friendships and strengthening current ones....maybe it is my ipod. whatever it is i like it, i want to do more of it, and soon.
jess and i road tripped with jerry, joseph, dave, and adam back to dc and spent the day running around capitol hill and all over dc. ended the day at gravelly park watching airplanes land it was SO fun. thanks boys for all the fun it was definitely worth it even if we ended up driving 4ish hours there and 4 hours home to nyc within a 24 hour time frame. love it.
breakfast. yum.

joseph and i so excited to be in dc.

orientation video at the capitol...adam is the best tour guide ever. seriously.

start of our day of fun!

yankees game!

tonight alex and i went to the yankees, mariners game. it was a lot of fun, i love getting into games and cheering. it was even more fun because alex was cheering for the mariners and i was for the yankees, a little rivalry never hurt anyone. yanks ended up winning 4-2, it was a pretty quick game and the night was perfect, not too hot not cold, no rain and the new yankees stadium is HUGE!! we met some serious yankees fans and they made me laugh. we also had a hard time getting in the stadium it was kind of funny because alex got frustrated, but we got in got our dogs and enjoyed the game :)

alex enjoying his hot dawg.
