October 2008
My two dearest friends, Danna and Johannah, both turned the big 30 this year! So, the three of us wanted to celebrate in some way. Unfortunately, with Joseph losing his job this summer, going on the cruise or trip we had initially talked about was not an option. We had decided to just do an overnight in Leesburg when Sam (D's husband) emailed me from Iraq and said that he wanted to suprise D for her birthday by sending the 3 of us on a trip. Upon hearing this news, I was like a little kid on Christmas morning....I was so excited! So, Sam and I proceeded to do lots of planning. Needless to say, we ended up in NYC! We had tons of fun - eating at a quiet, authentic Italian restaurant in the West Village, seeing The Lion King on broadway, staying at the beautiful Marriott hotel in Times Square, running in Central Park on a 70 degree day, sharing martinis at a fun hotel bar, eating pizza at 3am, and staying up all night chatting....all expenses paid by Sam. What an amazing trip! Thank you, again, Sam for blessing not only your wife, but Johannah and I as well. The memories made are etched in my heart forever.
