So yesterday I went with Meredith to see the fireworks. We went to the East side, which just so everyone knows...I am definitely a West side girl. There were so many people...as far as your eye could see, people and water. It was cool though. We stood on a street that had been blocked off for the explosions of light. I must say that NYC fireworks put Clinton's to shame. Even though fireworks don't beat being with the family by the pool enjoying food on the grill and the laughter of familar voices. I think this was the first time I haven't spent the holiday with my family, but I am coming to the conclusion there are a tons of firsts in my future.

I took some pictures from last night to share with everyone. There were four guys using a tree for their seat. It was very cute! And let me tell you this weren't little boys, but grown men climbed up in a tree. I will put them up later when I have a chance.

I know people in the Boro are happy to have Nathan back, but I miss him in the office. It is very quiet today. Everyone has gone to the Bronx to check out our accomodations for Paint the Town and people are painting the stairs so I am getting high off of the fumes from the paint. Oh yeah, the steps are going to be RED!

Well...need to get back to work.

And Laura, here's my blog. Hope it makes you feel better!
