Happy New Year!!!!

Hey everyone! Happy New Year...it's the first post of '05. Well, here I am again in NYC. It's good to be back, but I miss home already. It was so good to see many of you over my break. My 3 weeks in the Midwest were a whirlwind of fun and activity; several days of Christmas, a surprise birthday party for my Aunt Cindy, lunch with my Daddy, birthday dinner (breaded porkchops! Yum!), a trip to Minnesota, Chuck-E-Cheese with my neices, play date with my friend Jax and son Samuel, Sex & The City and Chaing Mai Thai (super yum!) with Lyssy, Common Solution, Foxhall, Dinner with my old sponsees, hanging with Jenny & Becky, Shopping with Laura Bugz, hitting Uptown with Dusty, LeCasNiSha sisterhood reunion (my girlfriends and I had not been in the same state for a YEAR AND A HALF!!!!) kissing Gracie Girls and Little Pea (so grown up), snuggling with my Shana (ah, old times), chill time and braving the Blizzard with Miss Sarah (gotta love Perkins), New Years Eve with my hot date Leah (yay! Pass It On!), Little T's with Ms. Cassandra (oh yum), Groundcrew (love those women), much needed Brenda time, shopping and more shopping with my Momma, history lessons with Richard, celebrating our birthday's and 21 years of friendship with Ann-Ann (childhood friend and brilliant med student), mini-High School reunion (thanks Ann-Ann) at the Churches United Shelter benefit, chilling with Megs and more.

So here I am, back in Manhattan and ready to go. I was called on during class on the first day in 2 of my 3 classes! What are the chances :) I survived. Back into the swing of things I guess.

It was SO good to see those of you that I saw! Sorry to have missed those of you that I missed. You all warm my heart so much. I miss you! I have lots of new pics up for your enjoyment.
