Empire State of Mind: Finally, They are Here!

This week has been a very dreary rainy one here in the city. Not much going on at work really just the usual Lord & Taylor/ Macy's visits, preparing for line appointments, and computer work for Sarabeth. It has been the first week that we actually needed to wear scarves for warmth not looks and been able to wear heavy jackets!! Regardless of the rain all week we have been able to look forward to some of our sweet friends coming to visit us during Alabama's Fall Break. We have seriously missed our friends and family so having them here for a few days makes us feel more at home. Kelley arrived on Wednesday night and we quickly reunited picking up right were we left off 3 weeks ago before we left. We stayed at our apartment catching up in our living room, pilled up on the couch laughing and swapping stories till midnight!! We have missed our "Baby Nugget Kell" so much. So after a month of much discussion and planning Casey, Courtney, and Brooke finally arrived yesterday!! I (Morgan) got off work around 5 to meet them in the lobby of our apartment, it was beyond exciting to see the twins taxi pull up and see brooke walk in the front door!! We waited for SB to get off work and headed to dinner down the street at The West Side End Grill (corner of 8th Ave and 49th St). The food was amazing (or maybe it was the friends and conversation) but never the less we had so much fun. Dinner ended and we headed out on the town to attempt to be tour guides. We went to Time Square, Bryant Park, and H&M!! Since we did have work this morning we called it a night around 11 and headed towards home. Kell headed to her hotel with her dad, Brooke took the train to her friends house, and the twins joined us in our humble abode for some much needed sleep. Might I add how VERY proud we are of all the girls, they all have been roaming around the city all day today shopping, site seeing, and eating like New York City pro's while we were at work!!! It is now on to the weekend and we can't wait for some quality time in the city with Casey and Courtney. We have tons planned as well as snow on the way-- pictures and stories from the rest of our weekend will be posted on Sunday!!
