I am constantly amazed by how quickly time flies by. Christmas was 5 months ago today. How crazy is that?! Today is also the (unofficial) first day of summer. This past winter was so ridiculously long and cold that it is hard to believe we’re done with it, and also with spring. I am very happy about this – I love the summer!
It’s also Memorial Day today, and I’ve been thinking about the men and women in the US and around the world who have given their lives to defend their countries. I hope and pray that their families can heal, and I truly hope that the world will some day be at peace. I know it sounds so hokey but I really do wish for that.
It’s been a busy few weeks since my last entry. Since May 4th, m parents came to NYC for a 2-week visit, I turned 30 (thank you all for coming out to celebrate and for the birthday wishes!!), close friends Sabrina and Scott got married (hooray!), I got to visit with high school friend Brian Gould and his fiancé Andrea (congrats again!!) and Marcus and I visited dear family friends, Jack and Janet Larkin in Buffalo, New York.
In the midst of all these visits and celebrations, I’ve been doing my best to keep up with Roots of Health work. I’ve had some breakfast and lunch meetings with key people in the reproductive health world, and I’m prepping for the first official Roots of Health Board Meeting on June 10th. Susan and I are really lucky to have 7 incredibly smart, passionate, talented women on our NY-based Board of Directors. These ladies are all working so hard already and when I momentarily freak out about this huge undertaking (this has happened a few times), I calm myself down by reminding myself that there’s no way ROH can fail with the strong leadership of my Board.
When I got up this morning I typed out a to-do list and there are 76 items on the list. I’ve been working hard today and have managed to cross off 10 items, but I still have so much to do so I’m going to share some photo highlights from the last few weeks, then off I go!
My 3oth birthday:
Me with my parents, and with my super yummy Ben & Jerry's icecream cake. We went out for karaoke after dinner at Sala. If you want to see some very entertaining photos, check out my FB albums. :)
Highlights from Sabrina and Scott's wedding:
The gorgeous bride and handsome groom.
Ready to celebrate!
A few photos from Buffalo and our trip to Niagara Falls:
With Jack, Judy and Janet.
At Niagara Falls.
Marcus opted to go into the "Cave of the Wind" - which allows one to stand underneath one of the water falls. Can you find Marcus in this photo?
Apparently the Canadian side of Niagara Falls is supposed to be magnificent, but the NY side was great, too! In fact it seemed a lot less developed than the Canadian side, which we appreciated...
