Never A Right Time To Say Goodbye

Monday, July 27, 2015
Governors Island 



When you can't decide what you want, order one of each 

Movie night and picnic at Chelsea Pier 




On Thursday night I took Stacey to visit Columbia's campus. It isn't too far away from my apartment. Afterwards, we walked home, stopped at a cute coffee shop and ordered yummy almond croissants (my favorite) 



Stacey wanted to spend her last weekend at the beach. I don't blame her! The beaches in Long Island are gorgeous. I am hoping to make it back one more time before the summer ends! 




This week's blog post is in tribute to my sister Stacey. The title of my post is actually very fitting because "Say Goodbye" is our favorite Chris Brown song and we have had it on repeat all summer long. 

Unfortunately I had to send Stacey off in an Uber this morning and it was the saddest thing. This summer is flying by! It honestly feels like Stacey just got here and now she has already gone home. We both didn't think this day would come so quickly. We have had the best summer exploring the city and spending our weekends at the beach. I am really going to miss meeting up with her after work, having sleepovers every night and our weekly Sunday brunch dates. The two of us get along so well and even though we are very different we have so much in common. 

It's so funny, because when Stacey first arrived in NY a couple of months ago she did not like living here. She felt overwhelmed and disoriented. Stacey thought the big city life was way too crazy, but it didn't take her long to totally fall in love with New York. She has already called me three times tonight crying about how much she misses it here!! New York has that affect on people. It takes time to adjust to this crazy life but once you do, it is difficult to imagine yourself anywhere else. 

I am sure gonna miss ya Stace :) thanks for a great summer!!
