mia

So I have been MIA for the past two weeks, I apologize. I went down to Arkansas for a couple of wedding parties for my sister, celebrated by birthday, attempted to start the search for a new apartment, and been working nearly around the clock.

Also, I've been planning my sisters Bachelorette party, which is taking place in New York the last weekend in July. Oh, I wish I could share all the wonderful details, but my sister and her love for surprises prevents me from sharing. The invitations, which are beyond adorable and took two days to make, and I only made eight.

I'm heading back down to Arkansas Thursday and will be delivering them so once all the girls have seen them, I'll post pictures.

In the meantime I have friends in town! No my apartment isn't busting at the seams with luggage and guests, these family friends are staying at a hotel. Tonight I am having dinner with my parents good friends, Rob and Cecile Burgeis. I've known them practically my entire life and they are in New York for the first time. If you had to guess, you would probably think I would take them to Alice's Tea Cup, but we're going to dinner at Bobby Flay's Bar Americain. One of my many favorite New York eateries. They have the best raw bar, steak, champagne cocktails, and the service is top notch.

Tomorrow after work, I am meeting my favorite high school teacher, Pris Benson for dinner before she's heads off to a show. For many, many years Pris has organized a trip to New York for a group of adults and occasionally a few students. My first time in New York was Ms. B's trip in 2004. Clearly it is a good trip, if it made me want to move to the city.

Then Thursday, I'm off to Arkansas again. Down time? Not happening this summer. Every week seems to be as busy as the current. I'll update you with pictures and more insight to my crazy summer as soon as I can. Hope your summer is as busy and fun as mine has been thus far.

Cheers!
