I'm Back

Wow, I'm not doing so well blogging lately, am I? Maybe it's because it's winter and we haven't done too much. Maybe it's because Ben has had something almost every weekend. Or maybe it's because I've been working on 4 things over the past few weeks and since they're still not completed there's nothing to blog about, besides the necklaces that I posted last week. However, we actually got out this weekend and enjoyed our lovely city with some friends. It felt so good to be out and about with Ben! Friday night we had dinner with some friends at a Tapas like restaurant called, Txikito. It's also on Grub Street's top 101 restaurants in NYC. If you live in the city or whether you're visiting, I would suggest you take a look at this list. Saturday night we started with an early dinner in the West Village at a restaurant called, Low Country. It's a great southern style restaurant with fried pickles (although not near as good as the south - but at least they're trying!) Before we walked in the restaurant the sun was setting over the Hudson through the tiny neighborhood streets of the Village and was a perfect picture I tried to capture. Although, it didn't nearly begin to do it justice.

After dinner it was time for the Texas Independence Day Concert at Terminal 5. Even though it was a fairly good country line-up we were there to see Pat Green! He brings me right on back to college when he used to frequent the Auburn campus. 

We ended the weekend with lunch after church with some of our friends in from Charlotte at Eat Here Now and then a stroll through Central Park where we saw the first hint of Spring!! We finally landed at the MET to see The Stein Exhibit which was fascinating and wonderful. The exhibit will be there until June 3, so go if you can! After our big weekend I'll be resting up (and working.)
