Visitors

My niece, Sarah, sent us a fun visitor to enjoy New York. He was so flat that he flew over via the US Postal Service. We also had friends from Australia visit. They had to fly via Delta. Here are a few pics from our fun weekend.

The Wall

Garrett is in Ireland...but is Betsy?

Nope...this is Storm King's Wall. So cool!

I love that it disappears into the water, and it comes up on the other side.

Garrett wanted to walk the entire 2,278.5 ft. But we settled for a segment.

Garrett is so strong that he created a space for us to walk through...okay the break was already there. :)

Bridal Shower

My dearest friend, Lori, and my Mom threw me a lovely bridal shower when I was down in Utah last month.  Everything was so well coordinated including a fun advice book.  I'm continuing to gather advice to add along with pictures.  

Here is just a taste of the fun we had.  Thanks Lori, Mom and Libby!

How we met...according to Betsy

People keep telling me that I should post my memories about how we met.  So here it is - How we met according to Betsy.

Each year that I live in Manhattan I choose a new goal.  The first year was to see a slew of Broadway shows and live like a tourist when possible.  The second year was to see things outside of Manhattan more.  This extended to my third year too.  So when Stacey invited me to her 4th of July party in Brooklyn, I jumped on the chance to view New York in a new way.

After a LONG subway ride, I walked through a quaint neighborhood to her apartment.  While waiting for the fireworks and seeing the beautiful view I met Garrett.  I thought I impressed him since I was an engineer with an MBA.  But he kept talking about all these different parts of Brooklyn and that this was the best place in the world.  I didn't necessarily have that same affinity toward NY, but I liked that he was passionate about it.  I also liked how happy he was.  

We talked for a bit and walked to the train (with a group of people).  He didn't ask for my number and I wasn't sure if I would see him again...
