Jetsetter

It's been a crazy few months!

Traveling to Boston for work, to New York City, back to Boston and then back to New York City.  Back and forth, back and forth.

I cannot complain what so ever!  I love it.

I had a fabulous time in NYC because I got to spend quality time with Tanta (Aunt Minna)!  I also cannot forget the lovely 12 hours I also got to spend with my Uncle Travis and Aunt Ruth when I arrived in NYC.  We walked from the High Line from 34th Street and 12th Avenue down to Washington Street, then walked to the fabulous restaurant called American Cut.  The food was incredible and the company was pretty fantastic too!

The next morning, Tanta and I sent Ruth and Travis back home and strolled to the Museum of Modern Art.  Our favorite pieces are from the impressionist era; i.e. Degas, Roden, Monet, Van Gogh.  We also walked along 5th Ave to admire all the different and fabulous shopping stores.  We also saw the movie The Age of Adaline.  We loved and enjoyed it very much!

The Met


The following day we visited the upper East side (brings me back to one of my favorite shows, Gossip Girl!) and toured The Metropolitan Museum of Art.  Such wonderful and magnificent pieces of art stored here and I could spend every day wandering the halls and gardens of this place.  We walked back to mid-town through Central Park and what a lovely stroll it was!

The rest of the week I worked at the client location in mid-town and also enjoyed the AMAZING show Wicked!  I loved it!  The show, actors, music and orchestra were incredible and emotionally moving.

I traveled home the following week and flew back to NYC for an additional week.  I was able to spend an evening with Tanta and we enjoyed the Broadway show, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time.  It was highly enjoyable and Alex Sharp was magnificent!!

After the short week in NYC, I flew to Las Vegas with my sister for Rock in Rio's pop weekend!  We met up with my good friend Heidi, who flew in from good ol' Nebraska, and stayed with the Strodes for the weekend.  We had an amazing time at the festival because we got to here performances by; Taylor Swift, Ed Sheeran, Jessie J, Charlie XCX, Tove Lo, Bruno Mars, John Legend, Echosmith etc.  We had a blast and even got to enjoy the VIP tent for a good thirty minutes.  The weekend flew by way too fast but we had such great company!


First day at the Rock in Rio festival!

As the weeks flew by I also found the time to fulfill by duties as the Maid of Honor by helping throw my sister's bridal shower!  Danielle was extremely thankful for all the hard work that was done to make the party a big hit.

Her wedding day is June 13th, just around the corner!  I've finished my MOH speech and I'm thinking it will be a big hit with the bride and groom, guests included.  I can't wait to be apart of something so special and to be able to stand by my sister's side as she says "I do!"  I'm going to be a very busy bee until the wedding day but look for a new post after the day has commenced because I will be writing all about it. :)
