We got these T shirts a little after Christmas from Sam's parents, they had requested that each of their children and their families take pictures. They have been serving in New York on their mission. I tucked them away, I had Rowan, and totally forgot that I needed to take these pictures. So finally! We have a gate in our backyard that opens up into this nice grassy area with big trees, and what a perfect place to take the pictures.
Of course, a side from just simply putting these "I heart NY" shirts on and taking a family picture, New York actually does have a special place in my heart.
My first visit to New York was with my girlfriends, it was a few years into college, and we had wanted to take this big trip. The first night we got in we stayed at hotel in Brooklyn, and took the subway the next morning, when we walked out of the subway I looked up in the middle of Times Square and fell in love with the big city. There was something about it. I loved the hustle and bustle, I loved that Broadway was right beside, I loved the crispness of the air, and I loved that I was with my friends. It was unlike any trip even to this day.
The second time I was there I went with my parents as a college graduation celebration. I was a little concerned that the second time would not measure up to the first time, however, it was just as great. The company of my parents, who are two awesome people to have a fun time with, in New York City was an amazing combination. We had so many laughs, and great conversations, with great scenery. I have never been disappointed visiting.
Then, of course, to live in New York for a couple of years, and though we were living in Long Island we were still in New York. I truly do "heart" NY.
