NeW yOrK, nEw YoRk!
Sorry, It's been a while since I have posted anything, I'll try to make up for it now.
I was lucky enough this past month to go to my new favorite place in the world, NEW YORK CITY. My best friend Cashmiere was getting married in Connecticut and I had to fly into JFK to get there, so I decided to make a long trip out of it and stay in the city for a few days with some friends I knew from St. Thomas.
September 4th, I left Kyra with my parents (who are wonderful) and took the red eye flight to NYC, I landed around six-thirty in the morning and was met there by Amaris. Now she and I had never met before, but we have mutual friends and she was nice enough to come and hang out in the city with me all day. Amaris is awesome and we had so much fun walking around the city, (side-note, do not wear heels when walking thru NY) I had to buy three different pairs of shoes before finally finding a pair that did not hurt and/or cut my feet.
We decided that it would be cool to go and see the Empire State Building, pictured above. It took about two hours to get to the top but it was so awesome to get a birds-eye view of the city...Have a look.
We decided that we would meet up with my friend Baker, since he had moved up from St. Thomas to the city, it was so great to see him. Baker, is a chef, ha ha, a really good one I might add, so he invited us for some drinks and dinner at his restuarant in Manhattan. We went there and waited for my friend Jartu to meet us there from the airport.

Jartu landed and met us at the Restuarant, where we had drinks and awesome conversation for the next couple of hours. We needed to catch the train up to Connecticut that night, so we said our goodbyes and headed to Grand Central, and took the train up to New Haven, Connecticut.
In Connecticut, Amaris drove Jartu and I up to Shelton, and we got to the hotel where all the rest of our friends from St. Thomas were staying. It was so exciting to see all the girls, but it was late, and we had a busy couple of days ahead.
September 5th was a girls day, we all got up and ate breakfast and went to get our nails done for the rehearsal and dinner that night. It was nice and relaxing, we went to lunch and back to the hotel to get ready for the rehearsal.
The rehearsal went great and the dinner was at a awesome Italian restuarant in Shelton, CT. Cashmiere and Rich gave an awesome toast and we had such good food and wine and an great time with all of our friends.
More...on the wedding and New York to come!
