Kyle comes to NY.

Posted on April 28, 2014 by Brooke

My former flatmate from Londy came to visit for the weekend! I introduced him to NYC by forcing him to come to my workmate’s birthday party (he had fun). HBD, LM.

The next day we ventured all over the city. Through Central Park and to the Upper West Cathedral of Saint John the Divine. (we saw it on the way to Tom’s Restaurant from Seinfield and stopped in). It was really big and beautiful!

We stopped in for a bite at my favorite NYC Mexican restaurant, El Centro. YUM.Â

If you’re ever in the area, get yourself an order of chicken chilaquiles.Â

We continued our tour on the lower east side – via the Staten Island Ferry. The coast guard armed entourage was a little spooky – but, hey lady lib!

On Sunday we visited the Brooklyn Bridge:

And Yankee Stadium!

chip, chip!

Walk down memory lane

And it was on this day in 2013 that I finished my last class as a student at the University of Utah.

I handled it with grace:

Okay, so I was a complete basket case. WHAT ELSE IS NEW? But really. I have been thinking back on what I was feeling this very day last year, mostly thoughts and anxiety of the unknown. I didn’t have any job prospects – or a clear view on what I really wanted.

I think of myself now and how much I have learned this past year since moving to NYC and working. It’s SO much! I am really grateful to be where I am and getting the opportunity to continually learn new things, push myself farther, and have a somewhat less foggy view on what I really want.

I LOVE YOU,

B

allow myself to introduce myself.

Oh, hello! Fancy seeing you here. (hi mom!)

As of late I haveâ€¦
Been really into Mad Men:

Getting lots of face time with pups (see what I did there?):

Remembering and thinking about my brother:

Enjoying spring in New York:

Missing my chickens:

FUN, RIGHT?

J is graduating in less than a month and I am SO PROUD of her. While I was in UT I snapped some pics of her for her graduation announcement. We went around the U campus and to the Capitol building. It was the prettiest spring day!

Babe alert!

I mean, really. I think we nailed it:

This weekend while I was recuperating from sissy’s birthday and two red eyes, I spent a considerable amount of time resting on my couch and in photoshop. Eventually leading to this:

Freakin cutie.

I LOVE YOU,

You guys. I left work on Friday, headed to JFK, made up a huge lie about how I was going to New Jersey and would be taking the bus home late and wanted to talk on the phone, and ended up on my sister’s door step at 1am (my flight was delayed) in Stansbury Park, Utah to start off her birthday weekend right. She was a little bit surprised to see me:

I LOVE surprises. I had the best weekend celebrating with my sissy and catching up with friends and family.

LOVES,
