Hello, Weekend? Can you get here already? Thanks.

Hi Deweese,

The nursery makes me wanna say "eeeeeeeeeeeeeek!" with excitement. I can't wait to snuggle up with lil' Thunder in that bright red rocker. Also, that canvas makes me wanna paint every quote I've every loved.

There's another thing I'm feeling all "eeeeeeeeeeek!" about.  THE WEEKEND. That's because the light of my life, my seven-year-old nephew, is coming to visit us! He's been to NYC just once before, for our wedding, but this trip will be very different and all about kiddo fun. We've got tickets to the Statue of Liberty and plan to hit up Dylan's Candy Bar and maybe the Central Park Zoo if the weather holds up (yay Polar Bears!).  Hope he's ready for a whole lotta fun...

I remember visiting NYC several times as a kid, and it definitely felt a lot like the picture above! But I still constantly wonder about what it would be like to be a kid in NYC now that I live here. This weekend I get a little glimpse. I think it's gonna be awesome. I've got a million and one things I want to do, and I know that we won't get to them all. But most of all, I seriously can't wait to give my nephew the biggest squeeze ever!

Sorry, I will go on a squealing break now that this post is over. Promise.

xo,
