Hi! Its been a while! Sorry for that! So much has truly been going on in both
of our lives, that blogging seems to get pushed to the bottom of the barrel! So
Sorry!
But enough with apologizing, here's a mini-update! :)
-On top of his current job for Big Morning Buzz Live and the Gossip Table,
Frank picked up a job working as a camera operator in the stands at Madison
Square Garden! He loves it. He gets to be there for his favorite teams, and he
also gets to make money! Win win for my favorite boy..He's such a dedicated and
hard worker..I'm so proud of him.
My lunch date in Bryant Park. ;)
- We secured our Wedding Venue, our new Photographer, and our DJ! I
also tried on dresses in Manhattan, and have made another appt in the beginning
of November! So a lot of wedding things are underway! Thank goodness :)
I haven't said "Yes" to the dress yet!
- I went to a lovely wedding Upstate with my longtime friend and roommate,
Ray! It was such a sweet celebration, and I am so very happy for Mr. and Mrs.
Shawn Barnes! Shawn actually proposed to Kieren in our Brooklyn apt on New Years
Eve! It was fun to come full circle <3 Because of the location of the
wedding, I was able to stay with Ray in his hometown and visit with his adorable
family. We went apple picking, visited his grandmother, had dinner with his
sister (who is also a future bride!) and spent about 5 hours in a hot tub
talking and drinking wine. I would say thats a pretty darned successful
weekend!
With my date!
The sweet Newlyweds!
My good friends, Ryan, Ricky, and Raymond. <3
Raymond Apple Picking :)
I love fall <3
- I went to see Kinky Boots on Broadway, thanks to my amazing Aunt Jenney! She accidentally bought tickets for the wrong date and didn't want them to go to waste, so I gladly took them off her hands! Billy Porter was sick unfortunately, so you could tell he was really nursing his voice and opting out of singing in the ensemble pieces..The other lead was also out, so we saw an understudy for him! But it was really fine, because the show was remarkable. Every time I step into a theatre, I feel home.. I feel like I belong. I love to escape for 2 hours into a different world surrounded by talent and beautiful storytellers. On a side note- Billy Porter in drag looks exactly like Whitney Houston. Almost to the point where I didn't want him to take his makeup off.. I wanted him to keep it on forever so I can sort of pretend that shes alive. Weird, but true. I'm not kidding -- he looked gorgeous and exactly like Whitney. Uncanny, truly.
- Out of all the constant hectic situations, Frank and I have officially
found our new favorite Manhattan spot ! Yerba Buena on Perry Street in the West Village. We
are 100% obsessed, and I 200% blame Ray for it. Haha! The night I was in Manhattan after trying on Wedding Dresses all day, Ray suggested going here, and I've been hooked ever since!! Its got such an eclectic
and exciting menu..both food and cocktails!. I had a watermelon fry..yes! A
watermelon FRY. Delicious! My favorite drink so far I would say is their 'Poquito
Piccante,' which is tanqueray gin + jalapeño + cilantro + cucumber + cointreau
liqueur + fresh lemon juice. TO.DIE.FOR. :) We went there this past Friday as well!
Three Musketeers at Yerba Buena!
A lovely drink with hickory smoked salt on the rim!
-This past Saturday, Frank and I had a cute dinner and movie date. First we
went to his favorite Staten Island Bar/Restaurant, Adobe Blues. They make a mean
margarita, and killer corn nuggets. Dont laugh! Seriously! Their corn nuggets
are out of this world! After dinner we decided to see "Judge" with Robert Downey
Jr. It was a spectacular, funny, and unspeakably devastating movie. Afterwards,
we both went to the liquor store and bought a bottle of wine, and went back
to Franks parents house so we could hang out and talk with his mom..that always
lifts our spirits.
All in all, its been a crazy and fulfilling few weeks! We have a wedding to
attend this weekend, and I've got a great great friend from Australia/Vancouver
coming to visit for a few days in November, so I'm sure there will be more to
blog about soon!
