2011 is going to be the best year yet

I feel ashamed about my lack of blogging. I seem to only do it when Nick is out of town. Waaah! I hate when he's gone. He (well, we) will be traveling ALOT in the next few months. Nick for work and miscellaneous and me for pleasure and miscellaneous. It's okay though. The couple that travels together stays together!
We recently took a trip to New York City and Florida. They were both fantastic and productive. I've been wanting to go to NY for as long as I can remember and it is just how I've always envisioned it. Especially since we got to go during the holidays. I am so lucky and thankful for my sweet Nicholas who always makes sure I get to enjoy the amazing things in life. Reason number 382048 I love him so much and can't wait to spend my life with him!
We stayed in a fabulous hotel, went to Spiderman on Broadway (I've ALWAYS wanted to go to a REAL broadway show and it just so happened we got to go to one of the most talked about productions in history) unfortunately, we also saw first-hand  a would-have been tragedy, from one of the stunt men, but thankfully he was okay. We knew it would be bad, but didn't expect for it to get so much coverage on T.V.!  Spidey took a BAD fall when his harness snapped and it was featured on Today Show, E! and national news. Apparently, the show has had many problems, despite its mega million cost. Glad he was ok :)
I went to THE Kleinfeld to pick out my wedding dress (I said "Yes to the Dress!, ha) and just so happened that the designer of my gown, Henry Roth, had a trunk show that day and was at the shop! So, my bridal consultant left me in the room to get the alterations lady so I could get measured, and came back with Henry to meet me! It was such a neat experience! I changed a bit of the design(took something off and added something different to my liking) so I was worried he would think I altered his mastepiece, but he said "Dahhlng I love what you did and love that you took it and made it your own". SOO COOL! He dubbed it the "Amelia Dress" (French for Amy of course:) and took 10% off! hehe. Am I good or what?!
We got to have dinner with one of Nick's best bud's Pat who is also a groomsman in our wedding. He goes to Columbia grad school and lives in SoHo with his girlfriend who happens to be a teacher in Harlem! They are awesome and can't wait till we hang out again.
Other than that, we enjoyed the city, shopped, ate, and, oh yeah...had a mini, fun engagement shoot! Here are some faves:

Of course we had to represent the Big D :)

Christmas in Florida was wonderful. In fact, I can't see why anyone would want to spend Christmas anywhere other than the beach. I just LOVE the Riordan's! They are too fun! They love to drink, eat and play games. Needless to say, I fit in just great :) We set the wedding date for July 23, 2011 at Harbour Ridge Yacht and Country Club in Palm City, Fl.

Life couldn't be much more blissful than it is now :)))
