When I was a little girl, I used to tell my Dad that my dream job was to be “an English teacher during the school year and a comedian during the summer.” I clearly had a strong (and strange) work ethic at such a young age. Working during my summer vacation – yeah right! Then…
A few weeks ago I blogged about one of my friend Rachael’s April wedding (check that post out here if you missed it). Since I’ve only been to two weddings in my entire life, I was excited to raise that number to three this past weekend by attending my boyfriend’s cousin’s wedding in Brooklyn. The reception…
This past weekend, I got to watch my younger brother graduate from college. It’s hard to believe that it was exactly one year ago that it was me in his place.
