words from the wiser & jersey week snippets

"Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud."

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never 

forget how you made them feel."

"While I know myself as a creation of God, I am also obligated to realize and remember that everyone else 

and everything else are also God's creation."

"All great achievements require time."

"If you have only one smile in you give it to the people you love."

"The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned."

"If you find it in your heart to care for somebody else, you will have succeeded."

"But still, like air, she rises. Yes Ma'am. Rise, Rise Rise." 

"I know for sure that loves saves me and that it is here to save us all."

"Have enough courage to love."

gettin' fancy in NYC!

This day was one I really looked forward to when planning to go to Jersey and it was by-far one of my favs! Fabz discovered this brilliant place called the Drybar last year, where you simply go for an amazing blowout with complimentary drinks in the cutest atmosphere! It's a perfect place for a fun & unique outing with the ladies, although I don't think it will be unique for much longer because we're already planning our next trip! I so missed these ladies and adventuring with them to new places. I feel so thankful to have them in my life through distance, hardships, dreaming big, hard times, joyous times, marriages & now pregnancy!

A girl sure does need her girlfriends; their laughter & presence is like therapy. Good for the body, mind, and soul. 

NYC

 ah! talk about the my favorite bar, ever!

she really wanted that mimosa!

so long everyday hair...

hello, fancy hair!

when it started to rain we knew our time in NYC was coming to an end.

but when our train got to Jersey and the sky opened up, we decided it was time for a dance party!

many cheers to days like this. so thankful for friendship..
