BROADWAY!

One of the best parts about living in the city is the Broadway!

I've always loved musicals and have enjoyed a few new shows this summer.

My new favorite:

HOW TO SUCCEED IN BUSINESS WITHOUT REALLY TRYING!
(I've already seen it twice)

When Lindsay came to visit we enjoyed Catch Me if You Can.

I have no time...

But I'm taking a blogging break anyway.

I physically cannot work on my paper any more. I am so tired of it. I am in a literacy institute for two weeks, and it is INTENSE. It's really interesting and I'm learning a lot, but it's rather exhausting.

I think google+ is awesome. Everyone who is discounting it is crazy. Google is always right.

I was just informed that Rebecca Black is releasing another music video on Monday.  Thanks to Rebecca, I have a clearer idea of when that might be: today is Wednesday, tomorrow is Thursday, the next day is Friday, then Saturday, then Sunday comes afterwards, then Monday.... Or something like that. My week is already looking up.

Chelsea came to visit me.

We went back to DC and spent the Fourth of July together along with a lot of friends. (college roommate reunion! finally!)

My brother Bradley is engaged! I am so excited for him. He found his perfect match, and I can't wait to get to know Lindsey better. 

I came back to NYC for about 2 days and then went right back out to CT to spend the weekend celebrating Kim's birthday.

Day crew: reunited.

River turned 5. Mya turned 6. Kim and Katie turned 24. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

I completely randomly ran into one of my old friends from DC at the market here in NYC. He's moving to Brazil and happened to be in the city for a couple days of training. What are the odds that we were in the market for the exact same five minutes. Someone said my name and I thought I was crazy, because I currently know about 5 people in the city. (Alright, alright: I know more. But excluding my new friends at school it really might be in that ball park).

I got to meet my 'roommate' Sarah's mom for a quick lunch. She was up doing the interior decorating of a fancy apartment in the city. I got to see the progress of the apartment and chat with her, which is always fun. She is great company. 

I am back in the swing of things, and just trying to get a grip of it all.

My roommate is gone to a family reunion and is subletting her room for the week. My mystery roommate is arriving tonight. 

I have a lot of great pictures I will post soon.

Back to the grind.

The Car Accident

Chelsea and I drove my car from CT to DC so she could use it while she was doing her internship.

We left at about 10:00 AM.

Around 10:15 AM a car rear-ended us.

BOO. We were making such good timing! 

About 12:00 a cop finally arrived to write up the report.

Luckily the car was still drivable and no one was hurt.

Our 4 1/2 hour drive ended up being A LOT longer!

It was my first accident, so I figured it was worth reporting. Glad it wasn't my fault! 

The Accent Nail

Try to tell me I didn't start the trend...

Fourth of July

Celebrated in the nations capitol with my best friends!

Pancakes. Pool Time. Slurpee. Red, White, and Blue Popsicle. Hamburgers. Fireworks. Air force Memorial. Festive cupcakes. Sparklers. Chocolate Strawberries.

What more could you want? Happy Fourth!

College Roommate Reunion!

 Matching sweaters.

 Katie, Kim, Hadley, and I all have birthdays in July so we celebrated with cake and ice cream!

 Sarah, Kim, Katie, Maryella, Amber

In college I had the most amazing roommates, who also became my best friends. We always talked about getting together for reunions. This was the first time it actually happened. We've all gotten to see each other on different occasions, but this time we had (almost) everyone together at once! (Melissa stayed in North Carolina with her boys, but we did get to video chat with her for a bit, so it felt like she was there!) It was amazing that we could all be together and the next morning we got to enjoy Brother Powers famous pancakes!

DC with Chels and Kels

 After Chelsea was with me for a week in NYC I finished my first summer semester and had a week off of school. Together we drove down to DC and had a great week! Kelsey was in town, and she and Chelsea took DC by storm! They took about a million pictures together. It was so fun spending time in DC and getting to see so many friends!
