Last night, we stood for four hours in 37° weather (a little wind, a little rain) to see this massive beauty light up. Just when you think you’re crazy for standing there, you remember that there are half a million people there doing the exact same thing (you can see many of them with their phones in this picture!). . I’ve seen the NYC Christmas tree many times before, but this was the first time I’ve ever been to the lighting. And even though it may have been crazy to wait four hours for a ten-second countdown, when those lights went from dark to light — it was all completely worth it. See the video in my stories. . So for as long as I’m able to stand the cold, make memories at the holidays with my mom and husband, and be one of 500,000 crazy people, I’m going to soak it in. 🎄 It’s officially December and we got our first little taste of NYC snow! This is one of my favorite months so I want it to slow down. How are you going to enjoy the holidays this season? Do you stay local or travel to family? Whatever it is, I hope you get to soak up every second! . John and I have a list of NYC holiday activities to do this month - I’ll share them with you here + on the blog! 🎄😍 A new zip code. A career pivot. Family trips. Snuggles with friends. Good food. Even better beer (and wine). A seat at Saturday Night Live. A few Broadway shows. A new cozy, charming (teeny tiny) apartment. Dang, it’s been a year. . Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. I’m soaking in this day and soaking in the rest of this year + DECADE. Because there is truly so, so much to feel thankful for. . Sappy note: none of the things in my life would be as special or meaningful without this guy, who I am the 👏 most 👏 grateful for every day. Headin’ home with my 🍯 for the holiday. Feeling grateful for a few days with each of our families and some quality time together. I’m super sappy (like car commercials make me cry) so this time of year can be overwhelming for my sensitive little heart. I usually just try to drink wine and power through (sometimes that makes it worse 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️) but I do truly adore being in the company of those I love. I’m overly extroverted and touchy-feely and sensitive and so this Thanksgiving I think I’m the most grateful for finding people in my life that will appreciate (or maybe just tolerate) all of the sappy parts of me. . I’m also grateful for our #NYC life, and for @jeffbrummettvisuals for this photo of the man I love in front of the building from the show I love. #insertfriendsquotehere Last night I got ready to go out and I was feeling so lazy. Didn’t feel like doing hair and makeup, or getting dressed. Is it age that is hitting me? 😂 John and I laughed because in college everyone used to go to class, work a part time job and then go out 3 or 4 nights a week. Does anyone else feel me on this?? Might as well send me the bifocals and cane now. 👵🏻 . I did muster up the energy to throw my favorite boots on an enjoy a few cocktails with our new friends (yay!). I do love a good couples date night. ✨Thanks to my Instagram Husband for capturing the proof that I didn’t wear my robe to the bar. 😅 . Ps: boots are @stevemadden, sweater is @wearehalogen... and the skirt I got from Forever21 when I was probably actually 21 which is way longer ago than I’d like to admit. 🤦🏼‍♀️ #outfitrepeater #forlikesevenyears In my #FridayFeels • John and I have been together for almost seven years, but no matter how long you’ve been with someone — I think there's always something romantic about being in photos together. We’re still a little awkward together in front of a camera, but we make each other laugh mostly through self deprecation and funny faces between clicks. . Anytime we're able to walk around the gorgeous area of Greenwich Village, I am in awe of the quaint restaurants, galleries, and architecture this part of the city has to offer. Honestly we spend a lot of time in sweats on our couch, so walking around the beautiful Washington Square Arch all dressed up made us feel like it was an extra special date night. . As we ventured from the arch further into Greenwich, we stumbled upon cafes and bars that begged you to enter with their twinkling lights and eclectic decor. We passed doorstep after doorstep of beautiful brownstones with brightly-painted doors and inviting lanterns. The smell of pizza and beer floated out into the streets and it’s amazing there are no photos of us actually chowing down on a slice. . If you've never been to NYC, and more specifically the Greenwich Village area (I mean, the @friends apartment is located here, what more could you ask for?!), I highly recommend visiting the hour right around dusk like we did. We wandered around half laughing at each other, half wondering how in the world we could just move in with someone living in one of these beautiful brownstones. If you do come to this area of town, come without a list. Come with friends and empty bellies and find your way into a bar, cafe or restaurant that speaks to you down the narrow, one way roads of the lower streets of Manhattan. . Thank you to @jeffbrummettvisuals, a new Instagram connection and friend, who knew just how to capture us as we explored this charming part of the city. We had fun just simply taking a stroll as if we were falling in love all over again, and making new friends.
