just one awesome thing...



about where we live...


our neighbors.  dominic and natalie live right next door and are also the owners of the home we are renting.  we have spent a lot of time with dominic...he is a master carpenter and redid our entire apartment before we moved in.  we love his personality and he takes great care of us.  his wife, natalie, is very sweet and one thing we have in common is our love of hydrangeas (which dominic has bushes and bushes of growing outside our house).   natalie just had a birthday on saturday and i brought her a plate of cookies to share with her family that was in town to celebrate.  


this morning our doorbell rang and and i opened the door to find these...
and a note from natalie thanking me for the cookies.  


craig and the boys and i went into manhattan for the afternoon.  we spent most of our time in bryant park.  here is soren by the carousel

and here i am with kelly cutrone
if you don't know who she is that's ok.  when i found out we were moving to new york i made it a goal of mine to meet her.  today she just happened to be doing a book signing in bryant park so i hopped in line.  i told her she needed a mormon housewife working for her---that it would really round out her office.  then we talked about mormons for a few minutes.  it was awesome.

So jealous of the hydrangeas. Oh how I wish they grew well in Utah. Off to google Kelly Cutrone

Already "google-ed" Kelly Cutrone. You're right...I had NO IDEA who she was...but SO COOL that you got to chat with her! I'd be SO intimidated!

The flowers were GORGEOUS! What great neighbors you both are already. It sounds like a great day. More to come!

well if it wasn't enough that I am seethingly envious that you get to live in NYC, you got to meet Kelly! I am a huge fan - love her work (and have always secretly thought that if I only worked for her when I was 22/23 she would have fallen in love with me much as she has Whitney and would have led me through the ropes until I was a hot shot like she is). :)

You are so awesome for so many reasons!

I love hydrangeas too. Love them!

Kelly Cutrone! So cool! I love that you told her she needed a mormon housewife working with her. You are the best! Looks like you are lovin' NY already!
