Beth is one of my friends from Fordham. We lived in the same hall Freshman Year, which is how we met. Sophomore Year, we lived together. Unfortunately, Beth has had a rough few years struggling with a chronic illness. However, she's doing tons better! :)
Beth's visit was the first she had made in a year and a half. The difference between the two was night and day. She arrived Thursday evening, and Cody picked her up at Penn Station. Luckily, they didn't have any problems finding each other - it was Cody's first visit to Penn Station and he had never met Beth before! Thursday evening, Beth prepared a wonderful gluten free dinner for us. (She is gluten free for health reasons).
Friday evening, Erica, Beth, and I went out to dinner for Amber's birthday.
After dinner at Blockheads, a mexican restaurant, we called it an early evening while everyone else went out to the bars. We were saving our energy for the next day! Saturday, we went to a puppy store near our apartment. Beth and I are both puppy-lovers, so we enjoyed playing with the dogs for over an hour. 
After the puppy store, we went to lunch at a sushi place, which all of us except Erica enjoyed (sorry Erica!). While we were on our way to get a post-lunch treat, gelato and sorbet, Cody called to tell us he was on his lunch break. So we met him in the park in the middle of Park Avenue for some dancing. Cody even figured out how to make the timer on my camera work!
Then, we got our sorbet and gelato and ate it while strolling around the park.
Saturday evening, Amber came over, we made a big family-style dinner, and played poker. Beth and Cody decided to team up against the rest of us and named themselves "Team Body." We had quite a few laughs...
On Sunday, we ventured downtown to the West Village to a gluten free restaurant called Risotteria. The food was extremely tasty, as was the gluten free beer (we had to try gluten free beer!).
From there, we walked across the city to a gluten free bakery. We got tons of cupcakes. On our walk, we discovered a park with a bike-riding polo game.
The weekend was wonderful and it was so good to see Beth doing so well. She has already planned her next trip back this August. I guess she had a good time! :)
