My trip to New York

Sorry that its taken me so long to put these pictures up, but my computer has been broken and its currently living in Utah until I bring it home after Christmas. I went to New Orleans for work a few weeks ago, but unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures while I was there. Well, I take that back. I did take two. The first one is of a bed. If you want to know who slept in the bed, you'll just have to ask me about it because I don't know if I want it published on my blog. The second is a picture of a present that I bought for someone that I met in New Orleans. I had the tree delivered to his hotel room on my way out of town. Aw. How sweet of me!
I didn't take a whole lot of pictures while I was in New Orleans mainly because I got really sick while I was there. Let me tell you; feeling like you're going to die while lying in some weird hotel bed is no fun. Well, being sick in any bed is no fun, but I was glad to leave and see my friends who live in New York. I flew into New York on Thursday afternoon and caught a train to Connecticut to see my good friend Tara. She has a really cute apartment with her husband James and their son James. We basically did nothing but sit around and talk the whole time I was there. It was great!!
On Friday I took a couple different forms of public transit to get myself to New Jersey to stay with my friend Keri. On Saturday morning I got up early and headed down to Radio City Music Hall to see these guys:Kinda hard to tell, but these people in Santa outfits are the Rockettes in full dancing mode. I'm not even ashamed to say that I cried at one point during the performance. I loved every second of the show. I want to go again.
One of the girls who was with us knew the organist for the show and hooked us up with backstage passes. So of course we all had to act like the Rockettes while we were on the stage. From left to right: Me(Steph), Jill, Deb, Alicia, Mauri, Elizabeth, Kim, Katie, and Nicole. With some of those reindeer tights on and little Santa outfits, I think we could pass for the real Rockettes, don't you think?After the stunning Rockettes performance, I went to lunch with the girls at Saks, Fifth Avenue. Kinda fun going to Saks on Fifth Avenue. Here I am with Jenn & Mauri. I love those two! Then of course we took pictures at Rockefeller Center with the Christmas tree behind us. There were mobs of people, but one day, my friend, I will go ice skating there at Christmas time. I'll probably have to go with someone who really loves me. As in, loves me enough to wait in the line for 2 hours to go ice skating. On Sunday, I spent the entire day with my beautiful friend Keri. She's pretty much awesome. She and her husband live in Ridgefield, New Jersey and they are happy as clams. I'm so glad that I was able to spend time with her. When I moved to San Francisco she was the first person who really befriended me. I miss her mucho!
