Austin's sister (and one of my best friends) moved to New York in May. In my opinion, her personality and career goals are so much bigger than Dallas (heck, maybe even bigger than Texas!) and I think New York was just the ticket for her to explore, grow, and learn. I am so thankful to have her in my life, whether it's down the street or across the country, she is our biggest fan. In true "coco" style, we sent her off with champagne and sparkles.
I only had a few days to plan. Her decision to move came very quickly. Once she found a job and called the movers, it was go time - for both of us!
I wanted to do something special for someone very special to me. But also not overwhelm as saying goodbye is hard to do, no matter how cute the decorations are.
I made a "Courtney Takes New York banner", followed with some mimosas and fancy straws (of course), napkins with her personal hashtag (#frappyhour) and topped it off with a menu fit for Courtney. While her fashion sense is on point, her taste buds? Not so much. We had pizza, pasta, chicken fingers, goldfish and queso in honor of our new favorite New Yorker. While the pictures aren't the best, you can get the idea. Oh, and I went the route of purchasing a cake from a grocery store. There's a reason it isn't pictured. Don't you hate when you pay for something you know you could've done better yourself? Lesson learned.
