Seven Years Ago Today

  ...I met Brett! I remember the day perfectly. My friends said that they were going to the sophomore dorms for a party that night and they wanted me to go because they thought I should meet this guy named Brett. Even though my school was only freshman and sophomores (you transfer to NYC after 2 years) and was only about 150 people, I surprisingly didn't know who he was. They said we liked the same music so we might hit it off. So all day my roommate and I were excited and were trying to figure out what to wear and all those girly things. Then came party time. We walked over to the sophomore dorms and opened the door to the party and boom there was Brett playing the drums. All I could think of was "who is this kid? drums? in a dorm room?" We hit it off instantly and we've been inseparable ever since. So needless to say I'm really glad I went to that party. Happy Friday Friends!  

The Birthday Celebration

Brett's birthday celebration was a success! We started off with a few drinks at McSorley's which is NYC's oldest ale house. (Unfortunately, low lighting plus a few drinks equals bad photos so this is the only one that's somewhat postable.) Then we headed off to BUTTER for some really, really good food. All day I was nervous that I picked just an ok place but as soon as we were seated I looked to my left and there sitting right next to me was Isaac Mizrahi. I felt relieved and thought that my decision wasn't too shabby. I love Brett's birthday and I think I love it more than he does haha. Happy Birthday love!

Birthday Boy

It's the future hub's birthday today and I can't wait to get off of work so I can spoil him rotten! I have lots to do until then so I'll see you tomorrow! Image

A Proposal Story (warning gushy post ahead)

We're back from California and it was one of the most amazing vacations a girl could ask for! Let me tell you one of my favorite stories of the trip.

The third day of our vacation (we were still in LA) Brett suggested that we go to Griffith park to watch the sunset before we went to dinner. I was all for it since I had never been before.

We got to the park and Brett was driving rather fast (hence the blurry picture). I told him to slow down but he said he didn't want to miss the sunset.

We started walking up the trail and I was just taking pictures and taking in the scenery. The whole time Brett was really quiet (not like him at all). At one point I even asked him if he was feeling ok. He said he was just "taking it all in". So we kept walking...
I asked Brett if I could take his picture. (Clearly, he looks very nervous and not like himself - notice hands in pockets.)

Then we walked some more and as we were almost to the top of the mountain Brett asked if he could take my picture and I of course said yes...

You may be wondering why I look weird and slightly confused in this photo. And that would be because while Brett was taking the picture he said "this is the very last photo of you as a single woman!" Brett proposed right then and there!

I, of course, immediately started crying...

...and freaking out...

...and then we made many phone calls :)

It was the most perfect place and was by far the most amazing feeling I've ever felt! It's been almost two weeks since we got engaged and I'm still just as giggly and still have the same amount of butterflies. I'm so happy and feel so lucky to be able to spend the rest of my life with my best friend. I love you Brett!!!
