I was informed today of 10 reasons I'm a terrible blogger, thanks to Casey, and I've got to say they were pretty valid reasons. However one reason was that I don't have kids stuck to me while I'm at home..I beg to differ! As I'm typing this Norman is wallering all over me, wedged between my arm and the keyboard. He is fascinated by the moving text...think he may pounce on the screen at anyminute.
Anyway... August was a pretty huge month for us. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary on the 2nd. I can't seem to find the pic of our cake we thawed out for the occasion, so here's one of the whole thing. I didn't get to taste it at our wedding (except for what Jon smeared in my face) but I'm hoping it was significantly better a year ago. I'm not a huge cake fan, but it was pretty dry.
The next weekend Jon and I went to NYC for a little vacay, but mainly to see the Yankees play Boston. Here are a few pics of trip highlights.
^^Here we were taking a bicycle cab ride through Central Park. We went at the perfect time of evening and the weather was beautiful. Definitely one of my favorite things we did in our short visit.
These next few are pictures from the game we went to. I got Jon the tickets for Valentine's day so this trip was long awaited. We went to the Friday night game which was scoreless into the bottom of the 15th inning when A-Rod hit a 2 run walkoff homer to end it! It was a great game, and by far my favorite part of the trip. Safe to say it was Jon's favorite part too.
I love this one with the buildings in the background.
We made friends with these soon-to-be newlywed New Yorkers who sat next to us. They were too funny!
It's an A-Bomb by A-Rod!!! Check out that scoreboard!
Taking that trip was definitely a much needed distraction from the horrible anticipation we were experiencing waiting to move into our new house the very next weekend. Don't get me wrong--I am MORE than thankful for my family letting us stay with them for the last nearly six months but I was dieing to move into our new house! Here is a picture of the outside, it may not be too big or too fancy but for us it is just perfect!! My favorite thing is that everything is so new and CLEAN!
Yes, August was an extremely busy month so I'm sure you can see why I might not have had all that much time to blog. While unfortunately I did not find a teaching job for this year, all in all I can't complain because we had a pretty good month. We've been moved in the house almost three weeks, and if you know me at all you know that I pretty much have everything in its place already. I took a break from doing extra stuff last week but now I'm on a hunt for decorations! I've got in mind exactly what I want, just looking for the best places to get it. I don't do pictures of things--really just people. So that leaves me with mirrors and, my obsession, letters and words! I've got the perfect quote for a vinyl wall decal and I also want to get a monogram one for our black and white guest bathroom. I'm trying to find some 12'' wood letters that I can paint for our kitchen, so if anyone knows good places for me to get any of this let me know!
With a few weeks of settling in out of the way I'm back in gear and ready for my normal busy life again! Good thing, because this weekend will be consumed with my niece Alyssa's 4th birthday party at the zoo and my friend Kristin's wedding! Oh, and of course FOOTBALL SEASON starts!!!! I am itching for next weekend to be at the first home game of the year! This will be my first year back in the season ticket seats with the family rather than the student section, so I'm sure I'll be a little sad when I look down and realize I'm officially old! Well, this is all for now....if you're even still reading. I will do my best not to get so far behind for my next post. :)
about freakin time!
