New York, NewYork.....

Well this past Thursday I got to see my oldest baby (and yes I am crying as I'm writing this). Chase called Tuesday and said that this was a once in a life time happening and that it may not happen again and that Ryan and I should go and see her play. With those words uttered my heart leaped and I was making plans to go see my "pumpkin head" Got plane tickets and a hotel room, Ryan came home from school told him he was taking a four day weekend. Well his reaction was great! He he was soo excited to get to see his sister but I think he was even more excited to have a four day weekend!!
I took care of getting everything ready for us to go, Called the football coach to make sure it was okay for him to miss a practice got Andrew to take care of the doggies for me and set the alarm for 4am so that we can make our flight and off we went to surprise Corey!
The plane was late taking off and then delayed in the air but we made it. I had to hail a cab for the first time in my life that was a little nerve wracking but Ryan and I did it. Then we were on the road to see Core. I texted her that there would be a package at the front desk about the time she would go to lunch. That she needed to pick it up right when it got there. She was sceptical but said okay. When we were pulling up to the dorm I called her and told her the guy called and said he delivered it and that she should go down and pick it up right now! Well when she got down to the desk Ryan and I were standing there and the look on her face was priceless. We all started crying. I Love My Pumpkinhead!!!! We went up to her room and talked and she made us tea and hot chocolate God I just miss being around her! We went to lunch at Chipoltle, dropped her off at the room then went to check in at our hotel.
After we checked in Ryan and I laid down for a bit before we had to be at the game. Corey took a nap at the dorm before she had to get ready.
Ryan and I left for the game at 6 the game didn't start till 8:30 we just wanted to make sure that we would get there since we were taking the subway all by ourselves. The concierge at the hotel was absolutely NO help. We had to figure it out by ourselves. When we got off at our stop we were too far south of the NYU campus so I asked a Fed Ex guy to point us in the right direction and we walked the rest of the way there. We ended up in a section of town that had sex shops all up and down the street. Ryan was trying hard not to look but they were everywhere. It was cute when we saw Corey how he described it.
When we finally got to the NYU Campus for the game we were an hour early. Mind u we only had to train stops before we got off and walked 45 minutes in circles and the wrong way before I asked for directions. They have a huge gym it's two stories deep. When you get in you go down instead of up. Pretty neat. It also covered the entire block. At least it seemed like it, maybe half the block.
The game finally started at 9pm, they lost, they seemed to be too nervous. They had an award ceremony after and got a nice trophy for having made it as far as they did. They were #1 in their conference and won the conference playoffs. Corey made rookie of the year and first team all conference.
So, we went after the game to hole in the wall place called s'mac that made the best macaroni and cheese for some comfort food. Then went back to the hotel as it was 11:30 eastern time and waaaaay past my bedtime. :) Mind you Ryan and I had been up since 4am central time. I hit that king size bed and fell instantly asleep. I don't know when Corey and Ryan fell asleep but I think soon after me.
What a day!
