June 26th

Three years ago today was the big day. Happy anniversary

Houston

We have been pretty busy which is my lame excuse for not posting lately. So I am going to try and catch everyone up to speed. On June 13th Ryan and I flew to Houston to see my parents and big sister. It was a great trip and the best part was seeing how well my dad was doing. We did a lot of watching tv and relaxing, but we also drove around Houston, saw the temple, went for walks, watched the US Open, watched the sun set, watched the rain and lightning, played Yahtzee, and went to dinner. It was so fun to be together. It is hard to be so far away from family sometimes. Two days after we got back Ryan's little brothers come to visit us. They are still here so I will post on Thursday about all the fun stuff we have done.

Another Weekend update

I need to start posting in the middle of the week because I only seem to add things after the weekend. Oh well. We had a nice weekend filled with doggy sitting. Remember the the little dog we watched a few weeks ago. Well we had her all weekend. She is pretty cute and it was a little sad to say good bye but it was nice not having her wake us up last night. Friday night we went to dinner and a movie with my cousin. We went to an Italian restaurant that had good food but strange waiters and then we went to see Shrek 3. Which I though was great. I really enjoyed it. Saturday we slept in and enjoyed a lazy Saturday. We went to a farmers market right near our house and walked though a street fair that was ran up 1st Ave. Sunday we had a nice day at church. My dad was released as Bishop after almost 8 years and the bishop in our New York ward was released on the same day. It was actually really special and helped me not feel so far away from home. We are getting really excited for Wednesday because we get to go to Houston and see mom and dad. I will post pictures of our doggy weekend as soon as I download them.

New Look

I sometimes get very frustrated with Mr. Blog because I see everyone creative blogs and I want mine to look cool also. So Ryan and I sat down the other night to give our blog a new look. This is a picture of Florence when we were there two years ago. I am going to keep playing with the options on Blogger.

Under Construction

We have been playing with our little blog and are still trying to work out a few issues out. But hopefully in the future it will be looking nice again.

Weekend update

It was a nice weekend but it went by too fast. Friday night we went to a Persian restaurant around the corner. It was super yummy. It is really fun to try new things. Saturday was very exciting. We ventured into Queens and went to Costco. I LOVE COSTCO and I miss it. After we discovered they didn't have the air conditioner we wanted we wandered around and had a hot dog for good old times. It is starting to get really hot in New York so went to the movies on Saturday night. We saw Pirates of the Caribbean. It wasn't great but better than the second and the ac was blasting. Sunday we went to church and relaxed for the evening. I worked a little on my painting that is slowly coming along and a new skirt pattern that i bought and Ryan went home teaching. Now it is Monday again, it is pouring down rain, and the ceiling in our bathroom is leaking. It has been a rough start to the week. I hope it get better. Oh yea and my cousin Laurel who lives in the city just got a promotion at her work and she is moving to London on July 1st. I am super excited for her but I would be lying if I didn't say I am a little sad. But Ryan and I are now hoping to plan a trip to London and Finland in the late summer early fall.
