Weekend In Photos

Such a great weekend in Columbus! Lots of eating, drinking, and hanging with friends. And of course lots of quality time with my two favorite boys, Nick and Bromley. Went to my first (and probably last) OSU game of the season which was a blast despite the loss to Michigan State. Can't believe it is already October! Just last Thursday it was 70 and humid in NYC and this weekend I busted out the winter hat and gloves. Ringing in this lovely fall morning with a delicious PSL. Yum!  

Hurricanes, Earthquakes and Dinner Parties

Well this sure has been quite a welcome to New York. Between an earthquake, Irene and realizing that a Corona costs $10 in this town, it has been quite a shocking first week here. I have been insanely busy with orientation, have met more amazing people than I ever could have imagined, and despite my current state of exhaustion, it has been an absolute blast thus far!

To kick off starting school, we had an amazing boat ride and dinner party on Ellis Island. 

How gorgeous is this sunset? 

The city shutting down for the entire weekend was a blessing in disguise in my book since I watched 6 movies got some much needed relaxation and got to spend some great quality time with the fam. I forgot how much I have missed Mom's home cooked meals!

Hopefully anyone who was affected by the storm is safe and sound.

Happy week!

Happy Monday! This past weekend was my first weekend as an official New Yorker (again). Even though I left Columbus in tears on Thursday, I ended up having a fantastic weekend getting myself reacquainted with my new home. Between tours of the neighborhood from my temporary roomie (aka Mom), dinner with friends, a movie and a visit from Ashley.  Oh and did I mention the shopping!?! Went a little too crazy on Saturday...this place is going to be severely dangerous for my very limited student budget. Such a fun weekend and I can't believe it is Sunday night already. My last night before I am officially an MBA student! Scary. Anyway, here are a few photos from around the neighborhood this weekend.

A night on the town with Ashley at Ofrenda in the West Village. BEST. ENCHILADAS. EVER.

As I'm writing this post it's Sunday night and I'm relaxing on the couch missing my man and my pup, but I am very excited for my first day of orientation at NYU tomorrow!
Here we go grad school, let's do this.

Happy Monday! I had such a great time this past weekend (and week) fully taking advantage of my time off before starting school in a few weeks. I hit up a ton of my favorite Columbus hot spots, eating and drinking with friends. I think I am still in a food coma since I have pretty much been on a food binge since last Wednesday, making sure to get in all of my favorite meals here that I am going to miss. I also got to spend some time at the beach with family early last week, soaking up some sun, enjoying quality family time and stuffing myself full of delicious sea food of course. I seriously don't think I could ever get enough shell fish, soooo good! (Okay so I guess I have been eating like a maniac since Monday...oops). Anyway, the next few days are jammed full of packing and getting myself organized for the big moving day on Thursday! Here are a few snapshots of the past week. Hope yours is off to a great start!

{Warrior Dash} Weekend in photos

We had such a blast at the Warrior Dash this weekend! From the race itself and the ridiculous costumes to the delicious eats and great music, it was a perfect day hanging out with friends and enjoying the sunshine. The dash itself was so much fun and definitely muddier and crazier then expected. But Ashley and I held our own and crossed the finish line free of injury, mud-soaked tutu's and all! 

One of the best rewards after crossing the finish line was all of the delicious food! The perfectly seasoned corn on the cob and the giant turkey legs were amazing! (A bit barbaric, but my oh my they were delicious)! And now for the obligatory photo montage:

 "Who ate it best?!"

{Long} Weekend in photos

Clearly I took a bit longer to recover from the long weekend being that it is already Wednesday and I am just getting around to my first post of the week. We had such a great time in Boston this past weekend - the weather was perfect and it was a great way to ring in summer! We met up with Nick's old Crew team for a little reunion rowing (I spectated), were super tourists at the Aquarium and on the Freedom Trail and jammed in as many delicious meals as we could handle. From an amazing Italian dinner in the North End and dessert at Mike's Pastries to the Barking Crab for lunch to a 3 hour fancy schmancy brunch with friends...I am still full! It was so fun to meet so many of Nick's friends from school, shop around town and just enjoy the city. Although now I know how my Mom always felt on family vacations when she was the one taking all of the pictures. So even though Nick is the highlight of all of my photos, yes I actually was in Boston too!
