New York, New York!

Last week my sisters, Cheryl and Cindi, and myself went to the Big Apple for 5 days. Leaving our lives and families behind us(in my case, my roommate Mindy), we left in search for an adventure filled with scary subway rides and thin crust pizza. Unfortunately my sister Tami wasn't able to come because Jackson still has to go everywhere she does. But even though we missed her and wished that she was there, we had a blast! We did just about everything you could possibly do as a first time visitor.



Cindi and I on top of the bus traveling through Times Square, on our way to the Statue of Liberty. It started off as a hot, beautiful, sunny day.......









But it didn't last long! Out of no where it started pouring rain. All of the buses were full and the only place for us to go was on TOP of the bus. They were nice enough to give us ponchos.









Sorry I don't know how to flip the picture. Anyways, here is the Manhattan Temple. We did a session and I couldn't believe how quiet it was for being in a HUGE city. It of course was beautiful inside.

After the temple we had the most amazing panini I have ever had! I still have dreams about it!


There really is a museum for everything!
One of my favorite nights was Sunday. It was Cheryl's birthday and my dad was sweet enough to treat us to dinner at Tavern on the Green. It was good food, but I loved the ambiance the most. It was so beautiful inside. After dinner, we walked through Central Park...at least while it was light outside. It was a really fun night.
More pictures to come....

ShowBiz


Last week my sisters and I went to New York City! It was a blast! I'm planning on posting pictures soon...I promise. On Friday night we were able to get tickets to a new show called Curtains starring Tony Award winner David Hyde Pierce. It was so hilarious! My sisters and I laughed the whole way back to our hotel. I highly recommend this show to anyone. . I've decided to start giving Showtune Saturday Nights a try...that's how great this show is!

Camping at Skullcrack

Over the memorial weekend, I finally was able to go camping. We went up by a cute little town called Huntsville. It's through the Odgen Canyon and back in the mountains. I really was beautiful. We finally were able to find a spot to camp at in a campsite called Skullcrack. Weird name I know. It was so nice to get away and do some hiking, fishing(which I had never done before) and a little sunbathing. I kept thinking of Girls' Camp and the fun times we had there. I still can't believe we wouldn't shower for a whole week....that's so gross! Anyways, if you're ever up north looking for a place to camp, check out Skullcrack!!


Here's a picture of me and my friend Magen.



We had a great camp site. This was our view.

A Whole New World

On May 7th, 2007 my life changed. I had Lasik Surgery done on my eyes. It was one of the craziest things that has ever happened to me. This is me after the procedure in the hallway of the office. I was so excited that I could SEE! Even though it was blurry and they were intensely burning, I could see almost perfectly without contacts or glasses moments after the surgery. At one point of the surgery everything went completely black....the creepy part was that I knew my eyes was clamped open.
And weeks later I'm loving my 20/15 vision. It was worth every penny!

Here goes nothing!

I guess I'll give the blogging stuff a try. It's fun...right?
