Coney Island

I went to Coney Island with some girls in the ward. It really reminded me of old school New York! It was really nice to be at the beach where the air was clean. It was fun to meet new girls in the ward, it was fun to eat a $3.00 microwaved corn dog. Coney Island has been on my "things to do" list...so, CHECK! Done!

Meet the Mets!

Hey everyone. Here's a couple pics of me and Heather at the Mets game the other night. Heather's new job took all their employees to the game (tough gig, huh?) and invited us to go. If they keep this up we're definitely gonna be okay with her new job. Anyway, if you can't tell, that's David Wright at the plate trying to help the Mets come back from being down 7-2 in the bottom of the 9th. They almost did it, scored 3 runs, we thought they were gonna pull it off, but it was still a really exciting game. We're pretty sure we're gonna be Mets fans...kind of have to be since we're only 2 stops away from Shea Stadium on the 7 express, and one of us is tired of rooting for the evil empire.

Good News and Good Views

Hello Everyone! Jed and I just got back from a fun filled weekend in Washington DC. When I say fun, I mean Jed had class from 8-5 and I stayed in the room the majority of the day. Ha ha. It was actually nice to just hang out and not have anything to do.

The good news: I GOT A JOB! I am so excited. The job is with a Technology/Business consulting group called Detica. They seem to have a simliar enviornment and culture that I was used to at my previous job, so it's nice to have something appear normal to me. I start on September 4. My favorite perk? They go on a company trip every year. They just got back from ROME!!!

The good views: The pictures of Jed and I in our nations capitol. Hope you enjoy.

PS. Don't forget to vote! :)

Let's Go Yankees!

Here's a couple vids of us at the Yankees game.

Church

Here's a little video of us walking to church and a couple pictures in front of the building. Church is great so far. We really love our ward and are meeting so many friendly people!

Way back when...

so, yes, we are backtracking a bit...so, this is a movie of the process of finding our little haven in NY. Hope you enjoy.

Rainy days and Fridays always get me down...

So, I had EVERY intention of snapping some good pics today. Wouldn't you know it that my camera was out of batteries, so I don't have pictures, but I have stories.
I decide it would be nice to get out of the apt. today and go and eat lunch with Jed. I look outside and see that it's raining, so I grab the umbrella and hit the streets of Manhattan. I am wearing flip flops, because I am not aware of the extent of rain and it just made sense to me. Rubber in Rain? Anyways, I am hitting every wet patch in NYC and the flip flops are holding up to their names, because I am flipping and I am flopping all over the streets. I am laughing out loud because I look so ridiculous sliding on the cement...but eventually I get to my destination. I am closing my umbrella and as I am pushing really hard, my hand slips (because it's wet from the rain) and the umbrella snaps back open and hits me square in the stomach. At this point, I act like nothing at all happens, but it really hurt! So, I start laughing again at the thought of what just happened. I think the majority of people were distracted by their open umbrellas, but I know there was the one who is now telling his family about it over his blog.
