Bethpage black

The u.s. open!! New York has it all!! We watched Tiger hit a few balls. This was just not his year! Saw Phil Mickelson get a birdie on hole 17! and some other golfers that Will was excited about :) but i'd never heard of ;) Beautiful golf course. It was fun to spend the day on the green with my husband! No cameras or cell phones allowed at the open. Golf is SERIOUS business :)

boston!

After the Belmont we headed to Boston for a few days! Will and I on a harbor cruise with the boston skyline behind us. We took a tour of Fenway ( we didn't tell em we're yankee fans!) That's will sitting on top the green monster. We cought a game and took in all the fun at fenway park. We also checked the museum. Boston is gorgeous! I could stay forever :)

school's out!

Will had a few weeks between semesters and we milked it for all it was worth!!! We celebrated our one year anniversary in the city!! It was so great because Will had just passed his final and so he could just relax and not worry about school :) Then off to utah we went to see the fam for a week. Best week ever!! Back in NYC we headed straight to the Belmont Stakes to watch the race!! Mine That Bird had a chance at a triple crown! But he gave it up to Summer Bird who had 12-1 odds. I'm not that into horse races, but it was a blast!

The last 6 months...

Ok...so its been a while since we've updated our blog, sorry we've been really busy! Here's a quick summary of pictures of what we've been up to for the past 6 months:

Our new kitten, Max! Only 10 weeks old.

Max is such a character...he loves to play fetch and hide & go-seek.

Max & his stray friend

Max hates baths!!! Poor kitty...

Will & Mark at the Big East Tournament!

Crucial free throws to send it into OT

Syracuse Wins!!...their 7th OT game in the past 24hrs!

So one night around 11PM we think we hear a tow truck and look outside only to find our street blocked off by NYPD and their version of the SWAT Team. We go out to find out what's going on, and apparantly some guy who was dog-sitting for his friend had gone NUTS!!! and decided to break everything in sight including all the windows, a $15,000 statue, 300yr old clock, etc... The guy unsuccessfully tried to break the gas lines & even tried to slit his wrists. If you look closely in one of the pictures you can see a blurry image of the guy through the 2nd story window. He's butt-naked with blood all over him. What worried the police even more was that he had a rifle in the apt...yikes! Anyhow there were about 30 cop cars 5 SWAT trucks and couple of huge police trucks...They had the entire parameter surrounded, it was crazy! We could hear the cops trying to bash the door down along with all the yelling and screaming. About 5 hrs later they eventually caught the guy.....

The new Yankee Stadium...a PALACE!

Mariano Rivera closings out for the Yankees

Yanks WIN 6-5! NYY 6 CLE 5

1 of NYCs best & nations 1st Pizzaria...after the Yankees game!

Mmmmmm Mmmmmmm!!

Ugggh!!

Done with the 1st Year of school!!! Wow...what a TOUGH year!


We went to Wicked for our 1st anniversary - May 22nd!

After Wicked we took a stroll in Central Park. We were going to go canoeing, but the canoe shop was already closed...

Followed by a night in Korea Town

Which was followed by a guy getting hit by a Taxi...typical NYC

Trip to SLC!!

Our trip SLC was one of the best trips, but at the same time, one of the most stressful...so many people to see, so little time. It was good to see some familiar faces and be able to go eat at some of our favorite places.

Walkin around Temple Square

3rd future statue at the Delta Center??

Hangin out with friends at a BBQ before the Belmont Stakes!

That's all folks!

Christmas Break

Finally Christmas break has come! Wasn't sure if we still remembered our password...it's been a while. Anyhow during the break we've gotten a lot of snow and bone chilling weather. The first day it snowed we built a big snowman in our backyard. Unfortunately later that evening a bunch of kids came by and ripped the arm off...I was about to go punk 'em, but then I realized I'm 26 now...lol.

For Christmas we went to Rockafeller Center to go see the big Christmas Tree then we were off to The Christmas Spectacular at Radio City Music Hall. They had a live band and 2 organists that played along in-sync with the entire show. The Rockettes were amazing as well, they definately know how to put on a show! The atmosphere inside Radio City was eye-opening, everything looked so elegant. That same night after the show we ran into Alonzo Mourning on 6th Avenue. He used to be my favorite playerback in the day, so it was a pretty big deal...lol. I wore his number back when I played Jr. Jazz in 4th grade.

...And to cap things off...tonight we went down to Times Square for the New Years Eve ball drop. It was soooooo cold! The scene was crazy! I've never seen so many people in one area at once. It was an awesome experience. Sometimes I get so busy with school it's easy to forget we live in New York, anyways it's been awesome thus far.

GO UTES!!!
