When thinking of a title for a post about a visit from my life-long friend Sica (aka...Jessica), LYLAS comes to mind. Not only was it one of the many taglines on all of the many letters we wrote each other over the years, but it is also true. I love this girl like a sister. We met in preschool and became the best of friends. She was my friend when I went through my "spend the night fright" stage. We went on family vacations and celebrated holidays together. She once wrote me a 30 page letter. We were roommates for two years. Though our lives weave different paths, they are still always intertwined. Who else do you get that with besides a sister?? So, obviously, it was really fun to add "hanging out in NYC" to our list of memories together.
Jess came in on Saturday night with our friend Shauna after wrapping up a conference in Connecticut. We had caught up over margaritas on Saturday night, and then hit the town all day Sunday. Brunch at the Seaport, a walk over the Brooklyn Bridge, cupcakes, Radio City Music Hall Christmas Extravaganza with the Rockettes, and a Meet the Parents/Fockers Marathon makes for a very full day!! Jess was the perfect friend to spend doing all of these things, because she appreciates the cheesiness of tourism and Christmas fun as much as I do:). We got to hang out Monday night when I got home from work, and then she left for Indiana this morning. It was such a great time with such a great friend! Here are some pics of our time together.
Yummy brunch!
Friends.
