Hey, NYC, I've waited a long time to see you...

J and I finally made a trip to NYC. I've been wanting to go ever since my aunt lived there for years when I was a kid. I never went, probably because I was too young, and my parents were smart and didn't take us kids! Overall, it was a great experience. We took our friend Laurie, hopped on a bus (no, not a train or a plane), and had a fun, safe trip for ONE day.. yup, one day! That's all we needed I guess. We had to get back for Thanksgiving, so we did a quick trip. Here's what we covered:

1. Battery Park/Statue of Liberty/Ground Zero

2. Empire State Building (to the top!!)

3. Rockefeller Center - we couldn't find the ice park, but we saw some pretty lights!

4. Time's Square! This was so incredibly cool.

5. Macy's

We did exactly what we had planned out on a little piece of paper. It worked out perfectly. On the paper, I had even written: "watch sun fall over city at Empire State Building??" and turns out, we hit the timing perfectly!

Here are some pictures...

Happy 1st Birthday, Parker!

My sweet nephew is not only enjoying cake, but he's also doing No Shave November. 

Happy Anniversary!

...to my dear friends, Dana and Jonathan. I can't believe it has been FIVE years!! That is just unbelievable! Because my old computer died, and I can no longer find pictures from the wedding, here's one I had on my other website--can you believe J and I had only been dating for a year at this point? We were so fresh and new! ;)

I have to say, it sure felt weird to be behind the camera for once. 

I kind of enjoy taking pictures of other people more.

But I enjoyed it while it lasted.
