2 years, 7 months, 20 days. 83,203,200 seconds. 1,386,720 minutes. 23,112 hours. 963 days. 137 weeks. A lifetime of memories (in great shoes!) for us together in London.
So, it's officially official...Mike and I have decided to high-step it back to NYC for an amazing opportunity and another NY chapter starting in October!
In the next three months, we've got Pub Clubs to attend to, barns to camp in, last minute jet-sets, and still lots of London to light up...Stay tuned!
From the East Coast of the Atlantic to the West (aka NY to LON of course), here's a bit of what my girls are discussing around our virtual watercooler:
Mike and I are so pleased to be at home for this historic day!
It's been over a month since I last posted - sorry folks, 22 days of vacation will do that too ya! But to make sure that I don't miss a minute of the exciting moments that December did bring, I've decided to recap the month in snaps! Here we go!
The Holiday Social Season rung in with good cheer following a boozy office Christmas party and Ice Skating in Hyde Park. My first December in London was full of hot toddies, warm Pimm's Cup, and lots of Bailey's coffee and champagne!
By mid-December I was already on a plane jetting back to celebrate with some holiday cheer in NYC. A shared cheese-plate and wine in the Brass Rail in Hoboken with Jill kicked off a fabulous weekend that included a lavish dinner with the NYC crew, shopping (of course!), a bit of snow, hot chocolates at City Bakery, sushi, more shopping, and a glass of wine overlooking the Rockefeller Christmas Tree.
With more then 15 days to go on holiday, I wrapped up NYC and headed
home to Hershey for a few days to catch-up with some of my favorite
Hershey Buds and then continued the phun in Philly with Emily and Jess (and my new fav friend Jay). Not to come this far with-out one, our night was completed with a trip to 
Pat's Cheese stakes (late night food doesn't get much better then this anywhere else in the world!). The next day we spent running the stair's like Rocky at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and then taking in some Renoir. Happy hour came early with Margarita's (ole!) and a quick visit with one of my fav Etown boys Erik.
By the 25th, Mike was in the US and we were in the full Christmas spirit for
some dedicated family time in Hershey and Maryland. Warning: There is a total overload of kid snaps (Mike's 5 nieces & nephews)- but who wouldn't take soo many pics of these cutie patuties?
Finally, our home festivities complete, Mike and I filled three suitcases and one Santa sack (OK a large duffel) full of our wares and passed out en route
for Paris via London where we rang in the New Year with Nic and Jeff. The snaps pretty much tell it like it is. We welcomed 2008 drunk of life, love, oh and that shampoo.
So now back in London, I give a shout out of thanks for those of you who made my time at home absolutely awesome, and for those I didn't get to see I hope to hear from you soon! Wishing you all a happy and blessed 2008!
My good friend Jess (Side Note: In two weeks we are going to Milan & Bellagio, Lake Como together!) sent me a Google map from NYC to London in preparation for her trip across the pond. She better start swimming (see #24)!
Quote of the day:
Tween girl: It so smells like London out today.
Hippie chick: What does London smell like?
Tween girl: Really damp.
