A Taste of the Big Apple

I haven't had time to post about my trip but here are some pictures to give you a little taste of all the fun we had! The first picture is of Reghan and I in Madison Square Park. The second is a picture taken from our row-boat in Central Park (I highly recomend doing this if your there) and the third is a picture of the Brooklyn Bridge right before we went under it. Who knew it had a waterfall under it?

Here I come....Big Apple!

So I have been searching for shorts and can I say how depressing it it so see all the school clothes in the stores...come on people its still summer. Anyway, after searching for two days I finally found some shorts and now I am ready to visit the Big Apple! Talk to you all when I get back.

X-BOX...is it really that bad of a gift?

I wont bore people with the story I just want opinions. If your soon to be husbands best friends all pitched in and bought him an X-Box 360 with games and a guitar for guitar hero would you...

a) Think it was really generous of his friends to spend that much on him and be grateful for the gift.

b) Tell his friends and parents of the friends that the gift is "unacceptable and inappropriate" and "that you would rather leave the gift at the wedding dinner and not take it home"

Finally

Now that I have lost most of my readers (all five of you) because I never post I thought I better put the update out there for the few of you who have left comments.

Where to start...Not much has happened just a few things. I was working for a publishing company and they where letting people go and I was one of the "Lucky ones" It didn't come as a shock we all knew it was happening but just didn't know when. I miss the people I worked with because I did work with the BEST sales team ever! We had a stressful job they sure knew how to make it fun. I have since found another job that I am very excited about!

Summer has been great so far. Matt and I have been hanging out with friends going up the canyon and roasting hot dogs and making cobbler with friends. I have been doing a lot of swimming (I love summer!) We have had friends come over a few times to swim but we need to swim more. My goal this summer is to get a camera so that i can post more pictures. I will be on vacation but when i get back and post about it I will be sure to have some pictures!

Its been too long!

Hello everyone! I would like to say I have been off doing something fun the last month but nope just the same old thing. We finished off February with a couple more birthdays. It was my litle brothers birthday and he turned a woppin 17...thats right 17. He is young, but such a cutie! We celebrated by having a BBQ because homemade hamburgers are his favorite. He got some great presents and then we ate dessert. Happy Birthday Kayden! We love you and thanks for being such a great brother! We also celebrated Franks (my brother-in-laws) birthday. We braved the crowds and went to Cheesecake Factory. It actually wasn't that bad. we went around 1 and it was only a 40 min wait! After we came back to are place to sing some karaoke. Yes we are addicted to karaoke. Who knew that singing to songs and sounding terrible could be SO fun. Happy birthday Frank and we love you also!

Now I know I said I would be better at pictures but that turned out to be a lost cause. It's so sad because I love to look at pictures and yet everytime I think of taking a picture I don't have our camera. Maybe I should just buy one for me and keep it in my purse. Well more updates soon!

Birthday & Wedding Celebrations!

That’s right we had a couple of birthday celebrations this weekend. My brother-in-law had his 30th birthday on Friday the 8th but little did he know about his Surprise Party the next day. His fabulous wife Callie with help of Greg’s cousin planned a great party. It was at Thanksgiving point and we had food, played poker, and Karaoke. I was so fun and everyone got into it! I know it wasn't my party but I know Callie & Greg loved all the support from the friends and family who came celebrate, even if just for a moment, I know they where grateful.

At midnight, Matt, me, Ryan, & Alli, drove up to Ogden to see Joel McHale (the guy that hosts the soup) and it was so funny and was nice enough to get pictures with us. I will post it soon. So by the time we left it was Sunday Feb 10th which was Alli's birthday! She turned a whopping twenty-something (I am not sure if she would want me to tell so you all get to guess but I will tell you this....younger than me) Also on Sunday I went to a wedding shower for my cousins fiancé and it was so fun. Shauna & Sharon did a great job of hosting and I am excited to have Tracie as and official member of the family!

So just when you think the celebrations have ended oh no...Monday was my little sisters birthday Feb 11th! She is the best little sister ever and she keeps me in style! My parents where in Cancun for the birthday so my sister and I planned a dinner that Danielle wanted and made it. We learned that we take forever to cook but she liked the meal and we all had a great time. My mom made the cake before she left and it was delightful. Happy Birthday little sis and welcome to you 20's.

Well that concludes this celebration weekend but don't you worry we have 2 more birthdays to go this month!

Everyone is back!

I think I have gotten everyone back but if I missed someone let me know. It February already and it is going to be a busy month full of birthdays! Other than that things are the same just work, work, and little bit of play.
