Some great memories with you

That awkward weekend in Montauk. Being cold on the beach, buying matching sweaters, our roommates, sickness, MDK, getting burned, the start of a marvelous friendship.

High School Musical 3 premiere day. Almost getting caught on camera skipping work to go see a movie with a bunch of kids and that one grandma sitting by herself.

Sitting on your bed talking and then...crunch!! So much for those bed risers. But our great skills fixed it so now we just roll away from the wall slowly during our conversations.

Star Trek. IMAX. 1:15 am. Need I say more?

Shopping in SoHo and stumbling upon that awesome young designers market after our Pinkberry lunch.

Girls' nights in watching chick flicks, doing nails, and talking, talking, talking.

The List.

Twilight / Rob Pattinson obsession. I'm glad I have someone to share this part of myself with.

Dance parties where usually just you and I danced. You know others wanted to join us - how could they not? We were having too much fun.

Taking forever deciding what to do, where to eat, what movie to watch, etc.

Missy Higgins and Eric Hutchinson concert. What a symbiotic relationship we have - you introduce me to Eric and I introduce you to Missy.

Britney Spears concert! Oh what a night!

Danceface!

You helping me pack and move into my new place and the fun time we had sitting on the makeshift couch with Sara and Cole.

Looking at dream apartments we could make into the best bachelorette pad ever. I still say we do it!

Talking, laughing, and crying together.

The trek through the jungle in quest for the castle during our pilgrimage toward Mecca and getting rained on and having the bus pass us by. We were exhausted by the end of it all.

We have spent so much time together we have basically become one. You're the friend I look to for fun times, conversation, advice, and pretty much everything. The past year or so with you has meant so much and I know I've found a best friend I will keep forever. And even though you're leaving, I'll always be just a phone call, email, gchat, or train ride away. But I am going to miss having you just a few blocks from me. Get that spare room ready - I'm sure I'll be using it a lot. And you know you always have a place in NY. I love you so much.

A note (#2)

Dear Charlie,

Thank you for coming so early! We did not expect you to arrive 2 weeks before I came to visit. But now that you are here, there is no reason for me to worry about not seeing you. I cannot wait to meet you. I have a feeling you will quickly become my favorite Preston boy (no offense to your dad). Thanks to your cousin Jordan I was kept up-to-date on your birth. She texted often to tell me how you were doing. I wish that I could have been there, but I was grateful to Jordan for her communication. So thank her for me, will ya?

Well, Charlie, welcome to the family. Even though we haven't met yet, I love you already. Get ready to have me hold you and take lots of cute pictures of you so I can show you off to all my friends back in NYC. See you soon!!

Love, Aunt Kristy

You Gotta Believe

Anytime either I or someone else says "Ah Yeah" I am automatically taken back to one of the greatest shows from the '90's - GHOSTWRITER. Lenni and the gang sang a song that has stuck with me throughout all this time. Whenever I hear those two little words (ah yeah) I begin singing: "Ah yeah ah yeah. You gotta believe." Come on...how can you not? So tonight after I said those words and atomically ended with "you gotta believe", I went on a quest to find an episode of Ghostwriter online. Surprisingly it is very difficult to find. But I did find one special music video. I hope you enjoy!!



Now every time you or someone else says the words "ah yeah" I hope you think back to Ghostwriter and remember all the good times you had watching it.

Weather watching

I'm going to California tomorrow morning so I've been keeping close watch on the weather. This is what it says:

Thursday FEW SHOWERS
Friday SHOWERS
Saturday THUNDERSTORMS

So much for "sunny" California. It's a good thing I have good friends to hang out with or I might cry that my time won't be spent on the beach basking in the sun. Oh - and of course it's sunny every day before and after I'm there. Just my luck right? Oh well...I'm still looking forward to this break from work and the city.
