Vacation!

So I should have done this a few days ago since I've been home for nearly a week but whatever I guess ya'll should just be glad I'm doing anything. :D I went to visit Mary and her delightful family! It was a surprise for Mary which made it more special. :D It was super fun and a nice relaxing vacation. I spent a lot of time playing with the girls which is exactly what I wanted.

The day before I flew out me, Mary and the girls drove into St. Louis to see the arch and took the girls to the zoo. It was fun the girls loved the penguins and laughed as they swam in their tank. They also really loved the butterfly house. Here are a couple of my favorite pictures from the trip.

The first one is a cute little penguin posing, then the girls laughing at the penguins swimming, then the 3 of us in front of the sea lions, then the girls in the butterfly house. Then you have my favorite 3 I took at the arch. Then each girl at the park. They are so adorable!

Update

So I don't have anything interesting to say but I thought I should write a little update about my boring life. I don't think I've said anything about this but a while ago (like 6 months or so) I applied for a promotion at work and guess what I got it! Yay for me! Well I have know that I got the job for a while but I couldn't say anything because they hadn't officially announced it. Well like 2 weeks ago my boss actually announced it so it's all official and stuff I start doing my loan interviewer duties the second week in August. I will actually most likely be doing teller stuff too since they haven't found a replacement for me yet. But it's still exciting. I'm really excited because I will have an office! Yep an office with a door and everything! It'll be cool.

Oh I was going to post a recount of my trip to Montana but frankly I'm not that interested in doing it. I may post some pictures here before too long if I get bored. I'll just say this it was fun it was quick and it was a lot of driving.

Sleep would be nice...

I'm sitting here in my hotel room thinking I should get up and get ready for bed but it so much effort and sitting here feels so nice. So I thought I would write a little blog about my visit to Montana so far.

I think the main thing I've gathered from this trip is it's a nice place to visit but I sure as hell wouldn't want to live here. I think I'm much more of a big city girl at heart, despite the fact that I come from the country. I guess I just like places with a little more going on you know movies and malls and art galleries and restaurants and such. I do love the lakes though I wish there were more lakes down home because it makes for beautiful drives.

Spending time with the family has been nice I don't get to see the Montana part of the family very often so getting to sit and chat with them is a nice change of pace. I think I'm almost ready for the trip home though. It's been a long couple of days lots of driving and eating bbq. Well I think thats it for now I'm sure I might have more to say after we've had a bit more of the trip.

Just for Nate and Kimberly

So I'm getting ready for a trip to Montana and it made me think that I should post a couple pictures from my favorite trip I've ever taken. Back in May of 2007 me and my aunt Julie went to Philidelphia, New York and New Jersey. One of her friends was having a wedding/anniversary party so we made a nice long trip out of it. So enjoy some pictures.

Here is a trendy little part of Philly, I think it would be cool to live there. Also I took a picture of Ben Franklin's grave...You can't really tell it's Ben Franklin's grave but I thought it was cool that people throw pennies on his grave.


We spent most of our trip in New York which made me happy because it's one of my favorite places in the world. We wanted to go see Wicked but it was sold out. Which is why this picture made me kind of sad. This was right outside our hotel window...

Washington Square Park is one of my favorite places in the city it's a great place to people watch. I could have spent hours and hours sitting on the benches watching people walk around.

I decided on this trip that if I were to move to New York I would like to live in a place like this.
I know this blog probably looks terrible... I'm just trying to get it to look okay with that many pictures. Oh so if I lived in New York I would think it would be really cool to get married in Central Park probably ridiculously expensive but it would be cool. This is where I would get married.

Central Park has got to be the coolest place on earth. On the outsides you get the city but in the center you are in the middle of the forest.

Okay this was one of my favorite things I saw while I was there this person had a little lawn jockeys all over their front step. No lawn but dozens of lawn jockeys...Odd.

I also got to see Strawberry Fields and the John Lennon memorial! It made me feel very hippieish and proud. I also saw the place John Lennon was assasinated it was sad.

The coolest thing I think I saw though the whole time we were there was Lucy the Worlds Largest Elephant. It used to be a house! Now it's just a museum but you get to go inside and look around and go up to the top and you can see the whole city and the ocean. It's pretty nifty! If you are ever near Margate New Jersey I suggest you check it out. Well that's all I have to say I suppose. That good Nate? Now you know I expect a comment on this. =)
