Gchatting with Lindsey

Lindsey and I have been best friends since sixth grade. Aka 15 years and two months as of right now. 

We've gone a LOT of places together.

Celebrating in NYC

Tea with Lindsey and Em in DC

Down at Dudley's

This is one of my favorite places in NYC. A lot of good food and things have happened here.

New York City in June

Grilling in DC

Packing for a Wedding

Surprise Birthday

I surprised my friends with a visit, but it turned out they knew the whole time and the dinner I was crashing was my birthday dinner.

Out in Topsail

A visit from Patrick

Patrick was on his way to Philadelphia and decided to stop by. 

Pool Jumping at Blair's

We were at Blair's house, hanging out on the back porch when she mentioned that the big wall over there separated her porch from a hotel pool.

Hurricane Prep

How to prepare for a Hurricane.

Riverside Park with my mom

This summer, while I was home visiting for a weekend, my mom and I took a walk in Riverside Park.

Emily's Birthday

You know my thoughts on Brooklyn, but for Emily there is nowhere I wouldn't go. (Ok, Queens might be pushing it.)

Lobsters in Topsail

I was never that into lobster - seemed like it was getting the credit that the melted butter deserved - but others thought I could be convinced. 

BYOB with GIRLS

This is about going out to dinner with my four best friends. 

Chair Testing on the Porch

The conditions must be just so if you are to engage in some quality chair testing.

Carlos and the Dog Fight

(It's not a real dog fight. So let's end those fears right now.)

Dinner with my parents in NYC

I do not take it for granted that we the three of us have dinner pretty frequently - and it's lovely - even though they aren't married anymore. 

Jodie's BBQ

This is Jodie. She is dynamite at hosting dinner parties. 

Beach Cooking in Topsail

A very good influence told me that taking a few days away from the computer would not be such a bad thing. (#FirstWorldProblems, I know.) So we drove down to Topsail, North Carolina.

Rule of the Christmas Trees

My dad and I walked home from Thanksgiving dinner at my cousin Wendy's house and saw trucks of Christmas trees, lined up silent in the night, ready for the moment they were officially allowed to unload.
