from my recent girls' weekend to New York City.
By girls' weekend, I mean myself and my closest high school friends.
Sorry Lexi and Ryleigh, this time around you stayed here in Dallas.
No worries though, as you had a wonderful time playing with your daddy.
Lauren, a close friend since middle school,
and also my grad school roommate,
decided it was time for a reunion.
She got the ball rolling, and in early June, the six of us met up in the
Big Apple for a weekend of relaxing, reminiscing (and, apparently, lots of eating).
First though, I snuck up to Fairfield for lunch with Adrienne and Beth.
you can count on lots of laughs, great memories to rehash,
and a few glasses of prosecco.
I really miss these girls and was so happy to spend a few hours with them.
After a long Metro North ride back to the city,
a fun dinner with the high school crew at Spice Market awaited.
Kate (my sister-in-law) snuck away from her kiddos to join us, which made it all the more sweet.
It's hard being so far away from my sister and parents, so this was such a treat for me.
Cannot wait to be together again in August.
Happy Birthday!!!!
The girls and I spent the afternoon in Central Park.
We couldn't have asked for a more perfect summer day.
We packed a picnic lunch and brought along some wine.
Old photo albums were pulled out,
and we had the best time reliving the good ole days
(and wondering why fashion in the mid-90s was so terrible).
We finished out the weekend watching the Belmont at a local bar,
then heading off to dinner in the West Village.
The whole weekend reminded me that there is no comparison
to New York City and its people when it comes to energy and enthusiasm.
No matter how long a person is away, this city always feels like home,
and its spirit is contagious.
The very same thing can be said of this group of girls I grew up with.
Many miles separate us now, but the role they played during my childhood
and high school years ensures them a special place in my heart.
My hope is that Alexis and Ryleigh surround themselves with true friends like these.
