Welcome Spring

I have to say, I really love photos!! And I love that it allows us to document our lives so well. Some mornings or nights before I go to bed, I scroll through my blog or Facebook and take a walk down memory lane. It makes me so happy to replay certain moments in time. I go through my college photos and remember my wonderful time spent at Utah State with all of my amazing friends. I go through photos of when I first moved to NYC to start a completely different chapter of my life and I go through photos of my two months spent living in Fiji which was also an amazing experience. 

Life has so many different stages and it's really great to be able to have snap shots of our lives to keep forever!! I am going on my fourth spring/summer living in NYC and I can't believe it! It really seems like yesterday that I moved here and I can't believe how far I have come! It's nice when you can look back on your life and feel like you have constantly been progressing. You take all your experiences, all the ups and downs and just think to yourself, "wow I have learned A LOT!" Because right? That is what life is, it really is a learning process and we are our experiences. 

The weather is FINALLY getting warm and beautiful. I am welcoming this spring with open arms. The sunny weather really does make me feel alive again. Last Sunday Paolo and I spent the afternoon in Chelsea area of the city. He wasn't feeling very well, but I really wanted to be out all day long! So him, being the amazing boyfriend that he is hung out with me. We ate good food, walked on the Chelsea High Line and just enjoyed the nice weather. I am really looking forward to this coming weekend, because it is a holiday which means and an extra day off work! YAAAY! 

Also, I included a song below from my favorite TV show Big Little Lies on HBO. They have an amazing sound track! :) 

You're My Lobster

Anyone who is a fan of the tv show Friends (like I am) gets my blog post reference. And it's funny how fitting it is for Paolo and I... not only because we love each other (and want to mate for life haha) but because we LOVE lobsters rolls too!! 

Paolo introduced me to Burger & Lobster, which we have been to a couple of times. Once on a date night and another time with friends!! Last night we went on a cute date to Luke's Lobster, a lobster roll restaurant right next store to my apartment! It was DELICIOUS! I feel like I am the worst at describing food because I am not like a foodie or anything....I am always just like yeah it was SO GOOD! You should try it lol. I am also not the best person to ask for recommendations, because I am easily pleased and I don't have strong opinions.

Isn't it so fun to have a boyfriend you can like totally hang out with all of the time, and do face masks, and just like talk about life? J.K..but seriously Paolo and I did a face mask together the other night, and believe it or not it was his idea. Maybe it was mine....I may have recommended it...but he was definitely excited to try it out. And we had a blast, like we always do when we are with each other. He is my lobster that I love so much!! xoxo

Life As Of Late

I am throwing a couple pics on my blog that I think are cute and happy! 

Last Sunday Amy and I had a little friend date night that was perfect. We went to my favorite Italian restaurant on the lower east side called Bar Primi. I really love dimly lit and quite restaurants especially on a Sunday evening. We chatted, drank red wine and ate amazing food. Afterwards we went to an Irish pub and listened to a folk band perform. 

The weather in NY is super cold right now and we got hit with quite a bit of snow this last week. I hate the cold and the snow (especially in March) but at the same time there is something very beautiful about the winter. 

Last night my friend Mr. Papirmeister invited me out for Saint Patty's day and last week (video below) we celebrated my roommates 28th birthday. There has been a lot of singing and dancing and just all around good times as of late.
