Boston

Boston

I just got back from Boston and wow what a whirlwind. What a great city. It was really neat we did the Freedom Trail and I got to visit with one of my friends from UT and one of my friends from NH came down to visit also. Unfortunatly Paul Revere's house and the USS Constitution were not open on Monday's so we did not get to see those. We did however see the fourth oldest church in America built in the early 1600's. It is so crazy how much older the history can get out here on the east coast. I am heading back to WA soon and starting to feel kind of sad about leaving. It is so easy to get used to a lifestyle and so much fun spending time with people who are important to you. I feel really lucky that I know the Melillo's and that they gave me a job while the ranch was closed. Hip hip hooray for weekends by the way!

Life on the East Coast

Wow life has been so crazy busy out here lately! I just finished painting MJ's bedroom. It is like a caramel wall color. It's such a great feeling to just accomplish something like that. I went to Jacque Torres chocolate shop in NYC today. What a fun experience. Gabby went with me and we actually got to meet him and shake his hand. What a very nice French man he was. It was great. He is a big deal in the Baking world so it was very fun for me. We also went to Les Halles and had dinner, which is an Anthony Bordaine restaurant. It was super yummy. Life has been really great out here. Gab and MJ will never cease to make my jaw drop with things they do good and bad. It is just so much different then the lifestyle of growing up in UT. I just wanted to post an update. I am going to be going out to Boston in two weeks. Brad Tanner is coming out to visit and we are going to have a historical journey on the East coast. It should be fun.

Taxes

Wow I always forget how much I really hate filing taxes! I don't know half of the questions they are wanting me to answer and I am sure they are going to hunt me down and make me pay some big fee because I didn't do something right. Besides the fact that I get these things in the mail that I have no idea what they are, but they say they are tax documents. So happy I still get refunds though, which is probably because I fill out the form wrong. Anyhow hooray for taxes!

Thank you God

I just wanted to say that I am so thankful for sunny days and starry nights. Sunshine is just one of those things that is such an essential part of keeping me happy and the stars are like God's glitter to remind me that he is there. :)Thank you God for being so generous and letting us share in your splendor!

Shopping Withdrawls

Does anyone else feel this pain with me! O my goodness. I am having some major shopping withdrawls right now. I really want these new cute boots soooo bad, but of course student loans and rent and phone bills o and don't forget about insurance always get in the way. I hope that sometime soon down the road I will be able to shop and get something fun and new that stares at me and taunts it's way into my memory without feeling like a bad person for spending MY hard earned money on something great! Ok I just needed to vent on that one!

New Jersey Life

It is so crazy being in New Jersey again. The kids that I nannied for before are not the same little kids anymore. Gabby and MJ are real teenagers now! MJ has a girlfriend (although he is till going to be my valentine)! Gab is smart and see's that the boys in her school are dumb for drinking and smoking so luckily she is staying away from them right now, but I'm not saying she is not looking. We had a dancing party yesterday so that is what these pics are from, and of course sibling love of Gab still beating up MJ. Gab is still bigger then MJ by two inches, but he will be bypassing her within the next year, maybe six months. Yowser it is so crazy!
