Every year, my organization hosts a celebrity-studded gala to raise funds for our programs. This year, I served the role of 'celebrity liaison' and spent the evening backstage with our AMAZING celebrity lineup. My parents flew out to Idaho for the event, which made it all the more special. I LOVED sharing a little more about our organization with them, and loved our time in New York together.

The day after the Gala, I took the day off of work to spend some time with my parents in the city. We went to the botanical gardens, ate at all kinds of amazing restaurants my dad found, and took in a Broadway show. An amazing weekend with two of my very favorite people in the world!
