It was the first Friday night that Jay and I have spent in Hartford since moving out of NYC in April.

It was the first time we’ve had “sleepover guests” in our apartment

It was the first time we have tried Besito voted #1 Mexican in the tri-state area (they made a mean mango margarita!)

It was the first time I appreciated autumn in New England, it was absolutely beautiful

It was Armaan’s first Halloween themed birthday party (He’s a Rutgers Football Player minus the shoulder pads and black lining under his eye which will come out on actual Halloween day!)

It was the first time I thought Shyla looked like a little girl instead of a baby

It was the first time I played “mafia” with many members of my family (I was a little too preoccupied with the game to take pictures) and then had a giant sleepover in Boston

All in all it was one of those weekends that make you thankful for everything you have.
