NEW YORK DAY 1!!!

Finally after wanting to go to New York for about 10 years I made it! I went with a friend from our South Bend station, Carrie. It was an awesome trip! What made it even better was that Carrie and I were on the exact same page. See as much as possible in the time we were there and the next time we made it to the Big Apple we would be a little less hit the ground running till you can’t go anymore.

Originally we were supposed to depart from IND at 6 on Thursday evening. About 10 minutes before our flight was to board they announced that it had been cancelled. Long story short, we flew out at 6am the next morning.

So we landed at LGA and got a cab to our hotel,

Entered our awesome room,

threw our stuff down and hit the pavement! At least till we got to the metro! Our first experience with the Subway.

We took the subway all the way down to Battery Park so we could see the Statue of Liberty. We decided not to spend half of a day going over to Ellis Island and up in Lady Liberty. Seeing it was good enough for us (this time).

After that we walked and walked and saw Ground Zero, Brooklyn Bridge, Chinatown and Little Italy. We stopped in Little Italy to have a bite to eat. YUMMY!!

FINALLY, back to our hotel (this was in the lobby) to get ready for dinner!

Cleaned up and ready to have a good dinner at .

It was delicious and wonderful! and we were exhausted so decided to not try and go to the Empire State building that night. We would do it the next night. Or so we thought.

On the way back to the hotel we stopped in Times Square (which was a block and half away from our hotel)

And after that off to bed we went so we could get up early and hit it again!

Our Tomato Hornworm

Just wanted to show you all what I found on my tomato plant the other day. He is now in captivity and being fed stray tomato leaves. :-)

Nashville Girlfriends Getaway!!

So finally the time came for my girlfriends getaway! Thursday thru Sunday with lots of my gal pals, lots of food and lots of beer!

Talk about a great time with great friends! Here are some pictures from the trip, at least the couple that are internet friendly. :-)

The first night, the early crew (and also those of us that went to Nebraska last year), Kara and Jenny made it later that night but we must have had too much to drink by then to take another picture! And also the picture of where I parked the truck! I don’t know what I was thinking! Getting it there was fun, getting it out, NOT SO MUCH!

Friday night with everyone that could make it! I love these girls!

This was my big hair do, trying to bring back the good ol days!

Beth, Laura and I being silly with the leftover Ham Chunks!! You had to be there to understand!

June 23, 2010 A little time for myself

I have a little time for myself right now, in the hotel in Rochester MN. Been a couple months figured I should post some pictures. Hope everyone summer is going well!
I thought the internet here would work fine but it is taking forever to upload pictures so these are the only two you get for now. More to come soon!!

Been way to long..

Been way to long since I posted. Here are some pics to tide you over (because I know you totally miss them) until I get more than a few minutes.
