America! America!

I think I was destined to be a city girl. There, I said it. I love everything about this city. Let's just not talk about the fact that I only have two weeks left. For the 4th of July my roomates and I went to watch the fireworks on the Hudson. We grabbed some grub from whole foods and headed toward the west side. At 7pm it was already packed but we managed to snag a good place to set up for our picnic. It was ridiculously hot and the later it became, the more crowded it became. The fireworks started at 9:20 and they were absolutely beautiful. The finale lit up the entire sky. Once the fireworks were over it was chaos. I don't know how we didn't lose one another considering there were thousands of people trying to leave at the same time. I'm so glad I went, but I will definitely never be going back.

The icing on my summer cake? Four of my favorite people are coming to this beautiful city in less than a week! Mom, Dana, Coco, and Muffin-- Hurry up and get here. New York is waiting!

Happy Birthday Maci!

Yep, that's right. Today is the best little dog in the entire world's birthday. Eight years ago my mom, who constantly refused to let me have a pet other than a fish, finally caved. One look at Maci and there was no turning back. She stole our hearts. Mace is quite a character. She's fiercly independent but loving and loyal. She loves people but dogs on the other hand, not so much. Size does not matter to this little one. She doesn't care if you're a chiuaua or a rottweiler, she'll be sure to let you know she doesn't want you around. She's scared of thunder and loves to take naps. She's the best dog a girl could ask for and I miss her SO much. Happy Birthday Mace!!
