Free Arts NYC

Last night I went to a benefit for Free Arts New York. I went with two of my co-workers Joelle and Alex. I am getting quite the education out here. Life in New York is a whole different world especially when it comes to these benefits. It was a whole lot of socialites dressed in their artsy attire buzzing around. Artists donate a piece of art and then they were auctioned off at the benefit and all the money goes to Free Arts NYC. It was in a funky Chelsae art gallery and it was packed. It was fun to see all the crazy outfits and catch a glimpse or two of some famous people. Liv Tyler and Naomi Watts were there. Once the auction started and we couldn't hear much and our feet were killing us we left and went to dinner. The weather was still wonderful in New York last night so we sat out side at a fun little restaurant and had yummy pizza.

I love warm weather

Life is wonderful when the weather is warm. We had the best weekend because it was gorgeous in New York. Friday night I went to the Orchid Show at Rockefeller Center. It was pretty incrediable to see all the different unique flowers. I went with a friend from work and we had a great time. I even purchased a little something for our appartment.

I love having fresh flowers in the house. My orchid has at least 4 more buds to open and the flowers will last a few months if I don't kill it first. On Saturday we we wandered around the park for a few hours and enjoyed the warm weather with our closest 5 million friends. The park was packed with everyone and their dog. Ryan is in the final crunch still the end of the semester so while he worked on his papers I started a painting for our wall. This is only the beginning of it but I will keep everyone posted when it is finished.

Spring Break Video

Hello out there. Just doing some fiddling while avoiding writing papers. Here is some footage of us in Florida during spring break. I figure with Beckey and Craig in Houston this is a great way for them to see us and stay in touch. So, more video to come...after the semester is over.

I am going crazy

I am going to take 5 minutes to post before I go insane. I am hoping these 5 minutes of venting will help me from pulling my hair out. For the past few weeks I have been helping one of my bosses plan his honeymoon in July as well as his flights to and from Sweden (where the wedding is) and I am going CRAZY. He is one of those guys who is way into details and researching every possibility before he makes any decision (and I mean EVERY possibility). After these details and possibilities are found one must then create a spread sheet to be able to compare and contrast. Needless to say I am really ready for him to get married.

OK enough about that. Life is good here in New York. I don't really have anything exciting to report. But as soon as I have something I will let you all know.

Happy Easter

We had a perfect Easter. At the last minute we decided to go to Palmsprings and meet my family for the weekend. It was a wonderful weekend away. We golfed, played tennis, enjoyed lots of good food, sat by the pool, swam, read, and slept. It was so relaxing. The best part of it is that we were together as a family. Oh yea and the weather was really really nice. We are back in New York and it is raining like crazy and it is cold. I'm not happy about that. Ryan is in the final count down until the end of the semester. His last paper is due in less than 3 weeks. So for the next few weeks it is going to be nuts for after that is going to be wonderful. I am looking forward to having him home when i get home from work. It was nice to have a little break right before crunch time. I hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter.
