“In New York…Concrete jungle where dreams are made”

February 12, 2014

Leave a Comment

Today is a wonderful, fantastic, mind-blowing Wednesday. Today my husband and I are heading to NYC for 6 days!! I can hardly contain my excitement! Not only do we get to spend some quality time in a city I adore, but we also get to meet our newest nephew, Lucas. I’ve been waiting months to meet this handsome little guy, and I can’t believe the day is finally here! Oh yeah, and some quality time with my sister and her husband. Family time + Manhattan = pure bliss in this hot mess’ book.

Never have I ever loved any place as much as I love and adore Manhattan. Had I not met my adorable husband, I know a tiny >500 square foot apartment on the UES would be my humble abode. But, since I met the man of my dreams, our funky, quirky townhouse in HTX will have to do. I’ll just settle with traveling to the city that never sleeps. The city that gave us Jay-Z, Frank Sinatra and Lady Gaga. The city with some of the best shopping on the western hemisphere. The city with some of the best chefs/restaurants in the world. The city that will truly, forever hold my heart. 6:45 pm cannot get here soon enough!

 

(Lyric title: “Empire State of Mind” written by Angela Hunte, Alicia Keys, Alexander Shuckburgh, Burt Keyes, Jane’t Sewell-Ulepic, Shawn Carter & Sylvia Robinson)
