Week On Fleek

There is just no way I can write a blog post without reflecting on my trip to the city. I packed up the car on Monday morning and headed out to reunite with my best friends, Natalie and Farrell! It had been since 4th of July weekend that we were all together so we were pretty much counting down the hours. 

I arrived at Grand Central around 5ish and after fighting the crowds, I spotted Farrell! We walked over to their gorgeous apartment and Nat was there waiting for us. First thing we did was crack open a bottle of wine. The girls put together a lovely home-cooked meal. They are beyond sweet!

On Monday, I took myself to the streets for a quick run while the girls were working. Afterwards, Nat and I went to a delicious lunch (still dreaming about the kale and Brussels sprouts). 

We ventured out to Chelsea for dinner and I got the most delicious grilled cheese I've ever had in my entire life. Who know grilled cheese could be so impressive?!?

Could they BE any cuter?!

 

On New Year's Eve, Farrellina and I went out for a run in the city. It seemed like we saw everything and only scratched the surface!

We saw the library, Bryant Park (my personal favorite), the tree at Rockefeller Center, Central Park, the Plaza Hotel, etc. It was a beautiful day for a run and we really covered a lot of ground. It was nice to burn some calories before the festivities! Running in the city and the park reminded me so much of running in London with Natalie. I'm so lucky to have friends that are runners!

I had the besssst time at the party the girls hosted and it was a blast seeing friends from U of R. The whole night went by so quickly! I can genuinely say that this was hands down the best New Year's Eve celebration I've ever had. 

On New Year's Day, we found a way to peel ourselves off the couch for one last adventure. We went to Washington Square Park and had a casual dinner.

I love the arc with the Empire State Building in the background. Reminds me of "When Harry Met Sally," one of my favorite movies!

"I'm just an ordinary human. But I don't feel so ordinary today."

For such a busy and chaotic city, I came home yesterday feeling relaxed and refreshed. I can't wait to visit again soon, hopefully in March for a birthday and half-marathon celebration for the girls! Here's to 2015!
