My NYC Valentine

Happy Valentine’s Day Eve!

 Unfortunately, I won’t get to see my Valentine on the actual day, but we more than made up for it by celebrating a little early this past weekend. We gave each other the best gift possible for Valentine's Day by spending a bit of time together in New York. 

Thanks to all the snow storms that hit the northeast last week, we were worried that this Valentine’s Day wouldn’t happen for us. With living 700 miles apart, the plan was for us to fly into New York separately and meet up for the weekend. But things were looking pretty grim. We both had lots of delays and complications, but somehow both made it to New York safely late Friday night early Saturday morning.

101 in 1001: Update #1

Popping in and linking up with some fabulous ladies to share a little update on my 101 in 1001 list. This is the first time that I've really scrutinized my progress since I made this list way back in September. Let's just say, I've got some work to do.

this Jasmine has found her Aladdin! 

Celebrating a special occasion with a broadway show seems to be our thing (here & here). So gifting each other tickets to Aladdin while in New York for Valentine's Day totally fit us.The unlikely story of two people from very different worlds coming together and falling in love....sounds all too familiar. So we had to see this show! 

a Year of Free Flights

With the husband and I being in a long distance marriage, every time we see each other, it requires a flight. Add in the fact that we love to travel together and the flights really add up. In fact, I did the math and Tom and I took $5000 worth of flights in 2016. But that's not what we spent.

Winter Love Letters

Dear Winter,
I'm falling in love with you. It's true that our relationship hasn't always been the greatest. Well, things are different this time around. I'm sorry that I haven't always appreciated you, but now I'm realizing how truly beautiful you are. 

Life Lately: January

What a month this was, thanks to kicking off the New Year in Barcelona…then rushing back to the States to make it back in time for the start of the semester. 

Love & Travel

With love day right around the corner, I've been thinking a lot lately about all the reasons I love to travel with my husband. But more than that is how traveling together has improved our marriage and helped our communication. The skills we've picked up while traveling together have truly translated into our everyday lives. So in honor of Valentine's Day, here are just a few reasons to travel with your love.
