feelin' rich

my anniversary was this week and my boyfriend surprised me by taking me to the new york yacht club for dinner. his friend chris is the chef there, so we got to dress fancy and use a lot of silverware. john gave chris all of the ingredients i love, and he made the most amazing 7 course meal I've ever had in my entire life. it was such a cool experience and i loved every minute of it. i've always been more of a casual girl, but it's fun to experience things like this! many thanks to chris for the wonderful meal and the time he put in, and to my amazing love for being so thoughtful!

new york city, center of the universe.

yesterday i went with alyssa to the metropolitan in manhattan. they have a modern art wing now, which i believe is fairly new, and it was absolutely amazing. i saw some picasso, van gogh, warhol and jackson pollock! it was amazing to see some of these works of art in person. i've seen them so many times in books, posters, clothing etc., but it's nothing like seeing them up close. i love that i live so close to a city where everything i could possibly want to do and learn is at my fingertips.
