NEW YORK CITY!!!!

So, on Friday afternoon, I am getting on a plane to head to New York for 3 days with two of my best friends in Charlotte, Ashley and Sarah. This trip has been in the making for a whole year! You see, last year on Labor Day, Ash and I went to Hilton Head for the long weekend, however, it rained the ENTIRE time and we only got to see the beach at night, the first night we were there...the rest of the time was spent watching the US OPEN tennis tournament and these on the History Channel. Right then and there we decided we were going to GO to the US OPEN next year and started planning our trip! This past year, on Sunday afternoons after church, Ash and I have been going to Sarah's tennis courts at her condo and playing with an ex pro tennis coach named Mac. He basically gives us free lessons and it is alot of fun! I can tell I am definitely getting better! So, Mac let us know he could hook us up with some Open tickets and we were so excited! Ash got us a sweet hotel deal here and I got a "free" plane ticket (a story for another day...but lets just say i booked 2 flights home for Christmas and only needed one ticket!) While in New York, we are hoping to see a Broadway show, shop in ChinaTown, cheer on Sarah in the Human Race 10K , watch the All American Rejects concert after the race, eat some good food and above all, see all the tennis we possibly can! We have tickets to Arthur Ashe Stadium Saturday night and a grounds pass Sunday...look for us on TV...I am most excited about seeing these two guys:
Andy Roddick and James Blake

I'll post pictures of my new place and our trip when I get back on Monday!
