easter sunday

Erik completely surprised me Sunday on our way home from our Easter festivities. I had been begging him all week to go to the tulip festival with me, which I know is something he finds little joy in. My chances were slim on getting him to go. We had passed our exit for home and I didn't even realize it. A little while later I turned to him and said, "wait...are we?!" and we sure were! It's funny because I was actually busy thinking about how nice a nap actually sounded and negotiated with myself that maybe I didn't need to see the tulips this year. So, I decided not to bring them up.  Well I didn't get my Sunday nap, but I'm happy Erik decided to go with me. As we were leaving, he asked sarcastically, "so was it so much better with me being here?" My response was, "you make everything better when you're there." Now, if only I could delete everyone else who was taking up the field. 

i left my heart in brooklyn

I may be obsessed with New York, but I think my obsession for Brooklyn is greater. It could be because we hit the borough on the most beautiful 67 degree day in February, or that I was with my closest lady friends, or because it has some of the cutest places I have ever seen. For any one of these reasons, I'm obsessed and a morning here could never be enough. As we walked the streets we talked about how we have to come back just for a trip in Brooklyn. It would take days to tackle everything we wanted to do. We were able to hit some high priority spots like Woops! Bakeshop (looking for macaroons? Head here!) and Loosie's Kitchen (looking for the most delicious Nutella beignets? This is the place.) but guys, there's really so much more.
