Stacy's Birthday Month

One of my best friends, Stacy, celebrated her 30th birthday this week, and being done with her PhD prelims (exams). We have been making the most of it!

While the boys were at a bachelor weekend for her brother-in-law Jared, camping in Rhode Island and at the casino, we pulled an all-nighter in New York:

Jimmy was in NY on vacation, so we convinced him to come out with us!

We also went to a Mets v. Padres game, thanks to Brian "Hoops" Schneider (the catcher of the Mets), who Stacy went to high school with and who got us amazing seats behind home plate:

Afterward, we went to Candle 79, a famous (and delicious) vegan restaurant on the Upper West Side. It was amaaaazing!


Next weekend, the celebration continues when Stacy and I go to Pennsylvania (where she's from)! I'm excited- I haven't been to Philly since high school, and I will finally get to meet Stacy's mom and friends from back home.
