Yesterday I went to New York City with Zach, my sister Chelsea, Amanda, and my parents! I had never been so I was so excited!
We took the train from New Haven to Grand Central Station, which was decorated beautifully. Our first stop after arriving in NYC was the Empire State Building!
The view from the top was incredible!
I’ve missed Amanda like crazy!!
After the Empire State Building, we headed to a Mississippi State-themed restaurant for lunch called The Junction.
The food was awesome and the Christmas decorations were so gorgeous! I just loved the place! Our next stop was the m&m store (y’all know how I feel about m&ms!)…or so I thought.
We walked out of the restaurant and Zach asked me if I was excited. For m&ms?? Yes I’m excited! But that’s not what he meant!
I was SO SURPRISED!! And I LOVE my ring!!!
My sister had smuggled a bottle of champagne in her purse (everyone knew except me!) so we all toasted in the street in NYC!
With happy hearts, we next headed to Times Square (yay m&ms store!). Times Square was incredible!
We walked around and went to several stores but were mostly so happy and overwhelmed that we found a spot to sit and enjoy while the rest of the group shopped longer.
After Times Square, we all walked over to Rockefeller Center to see the tree!
After Rockefeller Center, we shopped around a bit then got on the train and headed back to New Haven, then drove back to the house and made phone calls to Zach’s parents and grandmother and sister before crashing. What an AMAZING day!!
Awwww! YAY! Congratulations!!!
