Happy SHU Year


It's amazing and absolutely true what they say: "The friends you make in college will be your friends for life."

For New Year's, Josh invited me, Bidds, and Kelly up to the Berkshires to surprise Dana for her birthday...and surprise we did.  After traveling all day from different directions in a snowstorm, we surprised the pants off of Dana in her own home.  

I'm not sure how many of you have actually been to the Berkshires in Massachusetts.  It's beautiful there with its mountains everywhere you look and small town America charm.  It's a simpler life there, no traffic and still mom and pop stores.  

Josh took the liberty of getting us a table at the local hot spot, The Bounti Fare, for their New Years Eve dinner and dancing party.  Clad in our 2009 glasses (purchased earlier that day in NY Penn Station) we strutted our city girl stuff into the wood paneled back room to enjoy the bountiful fare and Phil n the Blanks - THE cover band of the Berkshires.  Even though Phil and his blanks played mostly toward the 40-50-something crowd, my friends and I danced all night and shared some good laughs (mostly at the cost of others in the room - sorry Mullet lady.)

The 24ish hours we were there flew by way too quickly and we enjoyed every minute we were there.  It's amazing how four girls met randomly 11 years ago and still have the same amount of laughs we had back in West Hall 613 way back when.
