The Story Of Us

M and I both had birthdays in early February.. and while we didn't get a chance to do anything then we made a point to celebrate when we did have the time. We started this tradition a year or two ago.. I met M in New York City when he got off work.. we had dinner at Obao.. which was incredible. and then went to go see Little Shop of Horrors at the Westside Theater.  It was a good show.. but we have seen better. I had posted about some of the shows we have seen a few years ago.. you can check it out here .  The next morning we had breakfast at The Smith. We caught up with my cousin who moved to the city a few months ago for school.  It was a beautiful day and we took our time walking back to the bus station.. to head back home.                        Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin   

Last months visit to the theater got us thinking about all the shows we have had the pleasure of seeing.. when we got to counting we were surprised by how many we had seen.. 1. Wicked - This was the first show I had ever seen. M had seen a musical in London once and was partial to the whole experience. But when we received a belated wedding present $$ from M's uncle we didn't want to just spend the money on groceries.. we wanted to make sure we used it for something memorable.. so we splurged on some Wicked tickets.. It was the perfect introduction to Broadway. It was a spectacle for sure and even M who had never seen Wizard of Oz had no trouble being swept up in the magic.  2. Avenue Q - We were so sure about this off Broadway show.. the characters are muppets.. while for some that may be the selling point for us that was what was making us the most unsure.. But I didn't want to watch Chicago or Phantom of the Opera and I may be wrong but I felt they couldn&

I have been having a few computer internet connectivity issues.. hence the absence. We had the most marvelous birthday weekend.. as most of you may have read M and I celebrate birthday's back to back which makes celebrating all the more fun. We are not big on gift giving and usually try to go on a little getaway.. whether it is local like a few years ago  or last years trip to Vegas . This year was another year to keep it local.  I caught a bus to New York City and met my husband for dinner. It was a crazy rainy day of course and the bus was 15 mins late but thankfully the restaurant was very understanding. We had a steak dinner at Del Frisco's and were both surprised when it ended with a dessert platter with two candles :) wherever I make a reservation and they ask if we're celebrating something special and we are I make a point of mentioning it no point in hiding it right? Sometimes it results in nothing and sometimes you get free dessert :) and no we did not ta

How have everyone's December been coming along? Our's has been especially busy. We've had something to do every weekend.. which is rare for us.. we have fully embraced the holiday season this year and so much more planned for the coming weeks.. so this might just be my last post of the year.. One of the coolest things we did this month was a visit to the NYBG Holiday Train Show. Wewere joined by M's cousin and family who has recently moved nearby. W e are so happy to finally have family close and the boys are thrilled at having a cousin to play with. This was our second time visiting and it was still as amazing and awe inspiring as last year. Everything is made purely out of nature.. in some instances even the trains! Wishing you all a Happy Holidays and  Happy New Year.. from our family to yours xoxo                    Etsy             Instagram             Twitter             Bloglovin
