New York, New York

Last week I went with my mom, Brooke and the Hathaway gals to New York for a long weekend. Now, when you go to NY, it's not a really a vacation. Our days consisted of waking up at 7AM, walking about 10 miles a day so that we could fit everything in, and coming home at 10 to crash. We squeezed in a bunch of stuff though and had some good laughs along the way. Thanks for the trip, mom!

Serious struggles

So....I'm not the strongest girl I know. This was totally magnified when Liz and I were stranded out in the middle of a field because we couldn't start the effing snowmobile. Here is a hint of what this little adventure was like...this happened about 5 times! You'd think that we would learn to constantly give it a little gas to save us from the hell we endured. Sometimes we never learn...

The whole crew

Liz and I were fortunate enough to spend President's Day in Star Valley, and let me just tell you, it was one of the most pleasant weekends I've had in a while. Couldn't have asked for better company, food and all around good times. In previous trips, we have invited super random people and although this trip's randomness was similiar, all our peeps bonded! Hopefully there will be more trips to come! Here are a few pics from the trip!

Liz and I at lunch before we went shopping for mass amounts of food that were consumed throughout the weekend.


The crew at breakfast one morning


A harmless game of "I've never". Let me just say that I was so fascinated by the things that people had done. I guess they weren't as innocent as I thought!


The gals!


So...I became slightly obsessed with Bruiser and Zoe while we were...parting was hard.


Heading out for a little ride


A bunch of us at the "love cabin".

I think by the end of the trip, we all wanted to be adopted by the Kennedy's! Thanks for good times, Liz!

Come on folks....have some class

So this is a blogworthy moment that is definitely worth talking about and sadly, the pictures are dark and don't do it justice. Sometimes on Tuesdays nights, I venture up the the Institute to take a class. Last night I got my times mixed up and got there at the very end. I was sitting out in the lobby waiting for Elissa and enjoying the people watching that comes with attending the Institute.
There was this cute little pubescent couple who were so in love, it almost made me sick. On a side note, isn't it funny how the older we get, the younger everyone gets?? I kid you not, these kids looked like they were sophomores in highschool. As I watched them embrace and stare into one another's eyes, my phone rang and it was my brother Adam. We were in the middle of a convo when all of the sudden, these two little lovebirds start making out in the middle of the Institute lobby!! Honestly, who does that?? I was so infatuated by the whole thing that I just couldn't stop staring. No really, my eyes could not leave them. This was no little kiss, it was definitely passionate. He kept pulling her closer and closer, it was almost too graphic to watch. But, let me assure you, I was not the only one watching. There were several others around me who were also intrigued.
They must have decided that it was a little odd to be standing up so they moved their session to the chair. I was surprised that she didn't strattle him because they continued to get it on for quite some time. I know the picture is dark but this is the best one I could get. Come on folks...get a room.
