Life Begins at 30, Right??


So today I'm just back to work after four days in New York City for mine and Ross's 29 and 12 month b'days.

Our traveling group consisted of Me and Catherine, Ross and Gillian and Lauren and Craig. I have to say that I had an amazing time with really great company and we all seamed to get on well. Thanks to all Y'all!!

We arrived at LaGuardia airport after about 1 1/2 hours of delays in Dallas and NYC, jumped in a cab and arrived at our hotel around 1:15 am. We were both exhausted from working and traveling all day so we decided just to go to bed and save
