A Visit from my Family!

My mom, mark, amber, mandie and jordan all came out to visit in New York City and we had a blast! They came out for Nicole and Sky's second reception in upstate New York and stayed for a week so we got to spend a couple of days in the city. We took a carriage ride in central park, we went to the bathroom in the Plaza hotel (pretty woman and home alone), we went to the Met museum and the Museum of Natural History (night at the museum) and walked through central park. Oh and don't forget times square and seeing THE LION KING!!! It was incredible and it was so amazing! I loved the play! Everyone should see a play on broadway once in their lifetime.

Breaking Dawn

Yes, yes! The fourth book in the Twilight series came out on august 2nd and I had it read by August 5th. The four wives that were all hooked on the series with me, met me by the pool the day we got the book and we read and read and read for four or so hours out by the pool...a typical day in the life of a wife of a salesman. We seriously were all reading and this was a regular Saturday for us!

We also went to D.C.

I was so excited to get to see Marci who is now living in D.C. and teaching biology. We saw the Washington Monument, the veterans Memorial, the WWII Memorial, the Lincoln Memorial, the Capital Building, the National Archives and the White House! We actually got to see President Bush's personal Air Force One helicopter fly over our heads right in front of the white house and pick up the President!!! I asked the security guard if that was the president and in a serious voice he said, "Ma'am, the President's the ONLY person allowed to land there." It was awesome! There were three helicopters that all flew in and it was totally like the Italian Job!

Alyssa's Visit!

Okay, so I know I am WAY behind on adding recent updates to my blog, but now is better than never, right? Well way back when...umm in july right after Nicole's wedding...my best friend from high school came to visit me in Philly! We had a blast going to NYC, Washington D.C., Longwood Gardens and hanging out by the pool. Here are a few pictures from our New York Trip. We went to the Met Museum, to the Serendipity Restaurant for ice cream, to Rockefeller center and much more. It was also my first time driving in the city! Fun and crazy!

Skate or Die

The drive home has been long. We drove from Monday morning until Tuesday night non stop, except to eat, gas up and visit Kirtland, OH. It was 1500 miles of driving happiness. I got a ticket in Sandusky OH and Brit got pulled over in Iowa because our registration tags weren't current. Wednesday we took some time in Denver to relax and unwind. I went to the skate park with my nephews Boone and Indy and took a bunch of pictures of them. I even tried skating myself.

Surf's Up

While we were in California, we got to stay with my cute pregnant sister, Melody, and her husband Matt. David and Matt got to go surfing one morning and it was so fun to watch...pretty cold though!
