Goodbye NYC- But hopefully not for long!

What an amazing 11 days I had up in New York! Thank you to everyone who made this trip so fabulous! Alright so to catch you up on the last few days we'll have to go back to Friday!

Started the day off by catching a 5:50AM (yes...AM!!) train to NY Penn so I could get another train to Long Island.  I had a second interview out in Lake Success, which in total was about an hour away from Penn Station.  It was beautiful out there! I passed the US Open tennis courts on my train ride too! 

After a long but fun morning, I made it back to Manhattan to meet up with Vicki.  We headed up to Times Square to walk around for a bit before walking over to Mood! Vicki and I are big fans of Project Runway and if you watch the show you are well aware of what Mood is! I have never seen so much fabric in my life! It made me wish I could design clothes! We even saw Swatch- the adorable dog that is always in the store. 

Since we were going to places that represented our favorite NYC shows, I HAD to stop by Kleinfeld AKA Say Yes To The Dress! It was just a short walk from The Markle and although I didn't go inside I did see consultant Sarah from the window! It was definitely a highlight of my trip, haha.

Saturday, I said my goodbyes to my Aunt, Grandma and Grandpa as they dropped me off at the train.  So glad I got to spend some time with them! 

There I was waiting for the 8:30am train and then BAM! It happened! I had a War Eagle moment at this small little train station in New Jersey! Realizing that I was wearing my All Auburn, All Orange shirt in honor of game day, I turned around and met a cute little family that actually lives in Auburn and was up visiting family as well.  The cutest part was the 2-year-old who kept yelling War Eagle and singing "All i do is WIN WIN WIN!" It was hilarious and a fabulous was to start my Saturday!

By 2pm, Vicki and I were sitting in a beautiful theatre ready to see Promises, Promises staring Kristin Chenoweth (original Glinda from Wicked) and Sean Hayes (Jack from Will&Grace)! It was SO good!! I definitely recommend seeing it if you can!

After the show, we booked it down to Vicki's so that we could change back into our Auburn attire and head over to the Auburn Bar to watch the game! We had a blast and thank goodness that we pulled out the win! It was definitely a great way to end my NYC trip!

Vicki and I said our goodbyes early Sunday morning as I was off to catch my flight and she was off to start her first day at Anthropologie.  I was sad to go but I know that something will work out for me soon!  

Overall, I had THE best 11 days. I met amazing people, went to great meetings and had a blast with one of my best friends. Now that I'm back home I'm more determined than ever to get back up there permanently!
