It's great to be alive at twenty-five

So my birthday was this past Saturday. Yes, I am admitting that I am now a quarter of a century old. Crazy. To celebrate I went up to NYC to visit the Newmans and to see my mom who also visited at the same time. Yeah for family! I miss seeing family on a regular basis.

And I miss seeing my nieces and nephews! I mean I will have 25 of them in my 25th year!

Sammy took a picture of me in the car. I had to give him props for that! He is just 3.

Oh and my cousin, Kim, came down from Albany to see me. We slept on these couches and thought about making a fort to relive past memories, but instead we just stayed up talking for a few hours!
Before doing some birthday shopping.

Kim tried on some ugly shoes. Luckily she did not get this pair!

We searched for some sexy black heels. It's a must over here. I got this Jessica Simpson brand of heels. Don't I look hot?


Later that afternoon Caroline got baptized! I got to sing at it and the whole ceremony was so beautiful. I didn't get a picture with Caro but I did get one with my mom. Thanks for giving birth to me mommy! :)And lets not forget that evening of my birthday...I saw Wicked on Broadway and it was absolutely phenomenal. I had heard people rave about it for years and now I understand why they rave. I wanted to cry. I didn't though.

Times Square pre-Wicked.

But first we wanted to get a quick bite to eat at Cosi. But lets just say that Cosi had horrible customer service so our quick bite turned into a huge bite out of our time. Lame sauce.

Mom and KathHere we are after Wicked! Loved it.

And finally we celebrated my birthday Sunday afternoon with a chocolate pie. So scrumptious.


Family, New York, Wicked, chocolate pie, living on the east coast in general...lets just say it's great to be alive! Bring on 25.
