I think I love April! Most people think... um April? there is so much rain why would you ever like that. You are spot on... but with the rain comes the warmer weather us "Baltimoreans" have been waiting for!! After a frigid winter season I am ready for some sun, boats, dresses and sandals!
I think another reason that I love April so much is the fact that in the past 10 days SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED!
Last weekend I headed up to NYC for our tradeshow and Mumsie came along as a traveling partner, which was really nice. We stayed at the Paramount Hotel in Times Square which was right in between Times Square and Hell's Kitchen (an area in NYC with TONS of restaurants- for those who have never visited). We ate at BECCO an amazing authentic Italian restaurant with a famous all you can eat pasta dinner and the next night we went to Sangria 46 for Tapas! NYC has some of the best food in the world (in my opinion) my parents are former NYCers so Mumsie was super nostalgic! ...If you are heading to NYC anytime soon, let me know I'll shoot over some great suggestions.
We also made sure that we made a stop over at the Lilly Pulitzer Madison store and then at the Junior League of NYC headquarters, which is located in the historic Astor building.
This week was also particularly excited because:
1. I got a great new job!!! I currently work in Marketing and was hoping to transition into fundraising and when the opportunity presented itself I decided I would take it! I will definitely miss my boss because she is probably one of the smartest and most amazing people I've ever met but it was time to move forward.
2. My best best friend bought a house and got engaged all in one day!! YIPPEEE! Congratulations to Megan and Josh!
On Saturday my brother was nice enough to help me volunteer for the BARCS (Baltimore Animal Rescue and Care Shelter) at their Easter fundraising table at a local dog park! He even woke up early after a night of dancing at his girlfriend's prom, what a great guy!!
Interested in volunteering or donating?? Head to their website!!
Thanks for being a great sport little brother!!
Talk about sensory overload! It really has been an amazing month and it's only the 10th!!
Hope everyone is having an amazing month!
Tata!
