This moment brought together some of my greatest loves: New York. Alicia Keys. Jay Z. all into one!

When Alicia Keys brought Jay Z out as a surprise guest do Empire State of Mind, I was probably on one of the highest highs of my life. As I said in my post about the concert: "I’m not one to scream like a crazed fan, but a scream somehow escaped my body, and I immediately broke out in a sweat. The energy was crazy as we all sang the ode to our city." Even though I kind of suspected it, the element of surprise magnified a great moment into an unforgettable one.

It's no secret that I. LOVE. NY! Many of my "I love my life" moments happen right here in my hometown. One of my most recent ones happened in a little place called DUMBO:

DUMBO has been on my to do list for quite some time now. I've mainly been inspired by others' photos from the area. It grants such an amazing view of the Brooklyn Bridge. I never went and explored to find this area I kept hearing about. For some reason, it just seemed foreign, I didn't know where to start. But what once seemed so far and unfamiliar was now right in my face as I parked on the block of Water Street Restaurant, where my friends and I were having dinner for Dine-In Brooklyn. (Of course, that selection was inspired by my desire to finally become acquainted with DUMBO.)

From the comfort of my driver's seat (one of my fave places to be), I was able to take in the breathtaking view of the Brooklyn Bridge. As I looked up, a victorious smile crept on to my face, and I thought "Yea, I love my life."
