Updates

I just realized I never blogged about anything past announcing my New York trip. We (Katie, Kate and Amanda) had such an amazing amazing time. There was one minor setback on Friday night, but once that blew over (I got a little emotional, that's all I will say about that) this trip was exactly what I needed. I was able to wind down, enjoy the company of great friends, spend time in a city I love, eat lots of great food, enjoy a dinner theater and get told happy birthday by a dragon on the wall, experienced my first NYC brunch (complete with mimosas, YUM), got to skip a line at a bar, did lots of walking, enjoyed more food, went to plenty of Irish pubs and made friends with the IRISH bartenders (real Irishmen tending bar at an Irish pub, shocking!), ate more delicious food, met some British boys, took advice from strangers in Times Square, laughed, laughed, laughed, shopped, saw a proposal live in Central Park(which ended up being an Auburn couple!!!!) (my future fiance has his work cut out for him, where ever he is), saw the bull (I do not understand the excitement), got birthday icecream with a 2 and 5 candle, saw the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island from a distance, had late night pizza... kind of, walked the financial district, witnessed an arrest and then an escape, rode the subway (EXPERTS!!!), met up with some new friends (friends of Kate and Amanda), rode in taxi after taxi, narrowly escaped missing a flight (again)! That just hits the high points :)! I am a lucky girl to have the friends I have that are willing to travel to celebrate being 25 with me! We have already begun discussions for our next trip!

Since then, I have been to Auburn twice (once to pick up Mags and spend some time with friends and family) and once to celebrate the marriage of my 4th sister (Amanda's older sister Brittany!). This wedding was so perfect and the bride was absolutely gorgeous. I just love this couple and hope their life is full of love, happiness and sweet little Fickle babies! The couple is now enjoying a honeymoon in Jamaica... so jealous.

This coming weekend will be spent in Atlanta, thankfully! I'm excited to go out and enjoy my city for the first time in a long time. Then I'm off to Dallas for a day for work. Then the Florida Keys to spend best friend time with Amanda and celebrate my, kind of, Irish heritage... Take a look at where we are staying. Holy excitment!! "Hawks Cay!!!!!"

Big couple of weeks ahead of me. Things are looking up for this one and I love it!
