Bright Lights, Big City...

There's nothing like being in The City.... and nothing like being able to return to my humble little abode. Caleb and I spent last week up in Jersey visiting family, which was filled with many wonderful, happy memories. Then last weekend Brian and a few friends came up so we could take a trip into Manhattan to see my Broadway obsession, Wicked. Yes, I just saw it in December, and yes, the tickets cost way too much money, but it was 100% worth it in my opinion. It downright poured the entire time we were there, my shoes were soaked, and I looked like a frizz-ball, but we made the trek from 51st all the way down to 43rd to see Times Square... and of course no trip into New York is complete without me paying tribute to my two favorite celebrities, Anderson Cooper and Matt Lauer. After Rockefeller Center, we puddle jumped up to 57th and went to dinner at Jekyll & Hyde Club, which I highly recommend if you don't mind paying the extra $3/person for "entertainment". We then made our way down to the Gershwin and I sat in awe of my favorite leading lady, Stephanie J Block, at her second to last performace on Broadway. I had tears in my eyes twice, and had to yell at Brian in the middle of it for taking a "$200 nap". My recap doesn't in any way describe the fun I had... or how much I miss living up there-- but it was wonderful.

We move in on Saturday. That is if the landlord hands over the keys. We have been over this with her, but she tends to forget things. :o\
Will definitely take pics and upload them. And thanks for the prayers. I'm trying to learn this thing called delegation. Haha. It's very difficult to relinquish control over to Chris on things. Not b/c I don't trust him, but b/c I'm a control freak. It is very nice having a partner to share the burden with. God knew what he was thinking when He ordained marriage.
Btw...I love the pic of you in the city under then umbrella. You look adorable!
