Good Times Never Seemed So Good!

For several years I've been planning a trip to Boston and for different reasons it has never worked out. With one of my good friends doing an internship there for the summer, I knew that the time was right and I HAD to go. So I planned to drive up for the 4th of JULY.

Boston was amazing and I immediately feel in love with it. The weather was amazing for the trip and it was beautiful. The history there was exciting to see and the people were great as well. I'm even contemplating moving there now.

After a treacherous drive up from New Jersey, I made it to Boston despite all the traffic. I met up with my friend and we headed downtown on the T to the Hatch Shell where Neil Diamond was performing with the Boston Pops. The performance was so entertaining and you could help but sing and dance along with the songs.





Align LeftThe next day we got up early take a run along the Charles River. It was a beautiful jog...I only wished that I loved running more. After the jog we went and save seats for the fireworks. Since we were with a group, we left and went sight seeing. I went and saw the freedom trail and other historic places in Boston. We also ate in Little Italy at this AMAZING Italian restaurant and got some delicious pastries.







The fireworks show was great. I also ended up running into my cousin's husband while waiting to watch the fireworks. We ended up hanging out and playing some games which maid the waiting a lot more fun.




Sunday after church, we walked around Havard Square and then went to see the temple. We also had a fun BBQ at my friend's neighbor.








Monday before going home, I took the T to Fenway Park. The tour of Fenway Park was really fun and interesting. After the tour, I headed back to New Jersey leaving Boston behind but hopefully not forever.

Bree's Back and She's Better then Ever!

Bree and I have been friends for a while now. Our friendship began when we were roommates at BYU after meeting our freshmen years (over a decade ago!). She just returned home from serving a mission in Spokane, Washington and it had been a long time since I'd seen her. We've shared some fun times together over the years and I couldn't wait to see her again. * As a side note* I love Bree and think she's amazing. She can sing, play the guitar, piano and drums, and she writes her own songs (even has her own CD). She wrote me a song years ago! She's also amazing at any sports she plays, especially frisbee though. In addition to this, Bree is just so fun to hang out with. So Bree invited me to come up and join her for her first YSA dance after the mission. Since, I love YSA dances ( I actually can't stand them...i really just love Bree), I said I would go. So, after work on Friday, I dressed up and drove 2 hours up to York, PA. This dance had to be one of the most ...

I'm Worth a Grand More and Pounds Less

I did it!!! I went the whole year of 2008 without eating sugar! At the end of last year, my mom challenged anyone in my family to go the year without eating sugar. Now when I say "no sugar", I don't mean nothing. I mean no sweets, candy, cookies, etc. I ate fruits and other items with minimal sugar (for example - Cold cereals with 6 grams or less). I also had 3 days were i could "cheat". So what was my motivating factor? $1,000 and the thrill of a challenge . I'm not one to pass up a challenge or a dare. My mom offered to pay $1,000 to anyone that completed the challenge. Though most people thought I was crazy, I wanted to prove I could do it. During the first couple of months it was really hard to give up the enticing sweets and goodies offered to me on a daily basis. My dreams even began to manifest my desire to eat candy, as I was sneaking bites of candy and licks of lollipops all night. I'd wake up thinking I'd ruined the deal but then the rea...

Kansas City Temple Dedication

I have this fabulous friend that lives in Manhattan, Kansas going to Kansas State University. I have been really wanting to visit her for some time and I finally made it happen! The Kansas City Temple was going to be dedicated the first weekend in May and so what better time for me to come out. Friday Night, we went to a Jamaican restaurant in Manhattan. (Yes, they had one there...not expecting that!) You really felt like you were in Jamaica until you stepped out of the restaurant and realized you were in Manhattan, Kansas. After dinner, we went for a walk in Aggieville. The hang out olace in town. Yes, it was only 3 blocks long. We got ice cream sandwiches from Cold Stone. They were delicious and spent some time at one of the local bars until I got too tired and we decided to call it a night. Saturday Morning, we went walking around her neighborhood. The weather was amazing! Then we headed back to Kansas City for the cultural event. Along the way we...
