New York & dresses

Where do I even begin? New York City was such a great experience. It was exhilarating.. And freezing :P asides from only 5 hours of sleep each night, the bitter cold, and some timing issues, it was really great. We had some great views of the city, ate dumplings in china town, canolis in little Italy, and pizza in Times Square, saw the Statue of Liberty and the 9/11 memorial, and saw wicked on Broadway. We truly did almost everything there is to do there, from a tourist's standpoint at least. I will not be forgetting this trip any time soon. The eeriest thing was when we were waiting for our tickets outside the 9/11 memorial and right in front of us we got to watch a fire engine pull out of the station. And those sirens. The only other time I had heard those specific sirens has been in videos of 9/11. That was spooky. One of my favorite things was the dinner cruise we went on. The views of the city were amazing and when we went by the Statue of Liberty, they played patriotic music and it was a little moving. I felt so American :P also got to bust out my white girl dancing and that was so fun. I have a blast dancing, I just go for it and have fun. Can't wait to white girl dance again at prom :P which brings me to prom dress shopping today! I really like my dress. It's red and has cut outs on the front and an open back. And it's long! My first long dress ever and I'm still a little surprised that I got a long dress. But It has wow factor and that's what I really wanted. It's senior prom. I wanna go out with a bang. Out of all the dresses I tried on, this one did it the most. I mean, it's every girls' dream, mine too, to have a guy see you in your prom dress and for them to be stunned and tell you how amazing and beautiful you look. I want that when May 3rd rolls around. So yeah I'm pretty excited :) and on a somewhat related side note, between Times Square and MOA shopping, I now have 4 dresses of varying style. I wanna wear more dresses. They are pretty and actually fairly easy to wear and they make you feel good and girly and sometimes even like you can kick some ass. So I better actually wear them :P it needs to warm up so that I can! I'm pretty happy right now. Which is a great thing :) our super best friendship is pretty great. I'm excited to go to a Twins game and the casino and maybe valleyfair again too. We will have so much fun and I can't wait. Oh and move in day is only 143 days away! So excited!! It's coming up so fast. I mean there's only 2 months of school left then 2.5 months of summer and then it's here. It's so crazy that we graduate in 2 months. It's come up so fast. Senior year truly has flown by. It's kinda scary but really exciting at the same time. Craziness
