New York- in the dorms with my nieces!

At the beginning of March I traveled to New York to visit my nieces at college. I got to stay in their dorms with them, travel around the city, do an engagement shoot and other fun stuff! I've been to New York before so I did less touristy things- or lower priority touristy things this time around, but had so much fun! We hit Black Tap, the Friends building, Carrie Bradshaw's apartment, saw Les Mis, walked around Brooklyn Bridge Park, and then across the Brooklyn Bridge at night, through the village and over to Rebel Rebel the record store and a million other little things.  I did the September 11th Memorial on my own. I also went to the Joseph Arthur/RDNM concert while I was there and had dinner at Balthazar's. It was lovely.

Daniel also texted me non-stop while I was there. Mostly love poems he had written. It was very confusing. He was actually in Oregon- at my school-, University of Oregon at an environmental conference while I was there. I even arranged for my friends to prank him while he was there. He met my friend Skylar and Beth and saw the artwork in the library- including the piece inspired by me. He wrote about me (and tagged me) on Instagram and Facebook about the concert I went to and the art show I referred him to. I think we were both really pleased and made plans to have dinner on my return. We ended up having a miscommunication while I was in the air on the way back though- he texted me and I didn't receive it- and I thought he was standing me up or flaking and he thought I was pouting because he couldn't take me to the airport early in the morning. So we never grabbed dinner. Which was disappointing and we were both being very sensitive. We had already defined that nothing was happening between us so I just took it at face value, but in retrospect, I sort of wish I had pushed  our conversations more. We were being fairly affectionate and open and I don't know what could have happened if I pushed the envelope. We made plans to go to dinner after he came back from Australia in a couple of weeks... but things changed and that didn't happen either. I really regret that.
