New York, New York!!

Okay so after a stressful Standby flight experience,we made it to New York at six am. Being on a Red eye Flight and not being able to check into our hotel until 4:30pm, We had tons of time to kill but too exhausted to do anything. We decide to take a shuttle from the airport to our hotel because like I said we had tons of time to kill. It took the shuttle three and a half hours to drive from JFK to our hotel in the heart of downtown NYC. It should only take a 25 min drive 35 tops with traffic. I think I would have been livid but I just took a nap and enjoyed the ride.


We stayed at The Hotel Roosevelt






It was beautiful and very cheap and great location about a 10 min walk to Times Square.

Finally we got to take a nap and a good nights rest and woke up to go take a tour of Statue of Liberty and then a Ellis Island with Matt and Bek and the kids.











It was a lot of fun and I was really excited to find out if my great grand father came through Ellis island. But to my disappointment apparently none of my family knows if he did of didn't. Including my grandpa, his son. I guess I need to get going on my genealogy.


We also vistited Rockefeller Center
H&M- My favorite Store in the whole wide world. Wish they would bring one to Utah!!



Saw Times Square Fire Station
Times Square


I am so not attractive in this picture. This was taken the day of the overnighter in an airplane I look pretty scary Sorry!!


Well that all for now I promise I will upload some more as soon as I get a chance.

What?! She is posting!!

Alright I know that I have been a slacker. I think I set my goal way to high!! Anyways I just got back from NYC and had a total blast. We hooked up with my husbands brother and his family, Matt and Bek and the kids while we were there. It was so much fun and I have tonz of pic and stories to write. But for now I will share one that a bunch of you will get a kick out of.
This happened Sat morning we got up and left to go to Times Square to hop on one of the Double Decker buses that take you around sight seeing. Anyways if you have ever been to New York you know that the streets are totally crowded. David was trying to pass a large group by going as close to the edge of the sidewalk as possible. I was trying to follow. He passed this man and I don't know if he did this on purpose but when I tired to pass him the man pushed me. I would have been fine if it wasn't for a pothole on the sidewalk. I soon stepped into the pothole, and lost my balance and went face first into a car's bumper that is parked on the side of the road.

Now I will admit I fall down a lot, in fact my brother-in-law Steven and my Dad laid bets on when I would fall not if during Graduation. But When I do Fall I don't want anyone to look at me or "come to my Rescue" I just want everyone to pretend they didn't see it.

Well My wish didn't happen.

I fell really hard, I'm pretty sure that I dented the bumper on the car. but the car that was parked behind it had people in it. Soon this Lady with a really thick New York accent jumps out of her car.

"Oh my Gosh are you okay Doll? That was hard, I heard that inside my car? Are you okay"

I'm just sitting in the disgusting New York gutter, just trying to hold onto my tears.

" Are you dizzy or Nauseous?"

David : "What happened?"
H: "I tripped from that pothole and couldn't catch myself, so I hit the car?"
New Yorker: " Take a picture (of the pothole)... and you if you feel dizzy or nauseous, you call a Lawyar." then looking at David " if she feels dizzy or sick you take her to a Doctor".

She was so funny but so concerned.. You have to read this with a thick new york accent to get the true experience.

Anyways long story short we didn't call a "Lawyar" I had a supper big bump on my head and dirty pants and a huge headache for most of the morning. But you know what is a good cure for a headache? A shopping trip in China Town and some good Italian food in Little Italy.

Flashy Friday!! or suggestions!

Okay so I'm not in love with the name Flashy Friday. I was trying to stick with my alliteration theme but Flashy Friday?? What does that even mean? I was thinking that I would post pics of the jewelry I am making every Friday but of course I didn't make any last night, due to the fact that David and I went to the temple. So I propose that you give me suggestions, what topic should I leave for Friday?? only stipulation is that is has to start with an "F".

But because I made this a goal and it is my second day I will make sure that I will post a Flashy item.


I love making jewelry. It is one of the many hobbies I spend my time doing. I used to sell a lot of it but I haven't sold any in such a long time because I got married and all I want to do is be with him.
This is the next big purchase I want to make. t is called "art clay" let me show you what it is all about.














Pretty neat huh? I think it would be really fun to learn and could make tons of original things. On FireMountainGem it costs $89.68 for the starter kit so needless to say I will have to wait to buy it.
(got these pics from fire mountain gems too)

So let me know your suggestions. I really want to make this something fun to read and enjoy!!

Blog Alert!!! Thrifty Thursday!!

Okay I had this great Idea today!! So I am always totally bored at work. I generally have nothing to do. I usually spend the work day looking at blogs. Side note: I love my job and love the people I work with. I also do do my job which is answering the phone and help out with the accounting. It just doesn't keep me occupied the whole 6hrs everyday. So while I have plenty of time at work, I look at blogs and read about everyone else lives. But I never update my own blog. So here is the deal. My goal: I'm going to write a post every day. I have such a boring life and I sure you don't want to hear about my day every day because here is what it consist of: wake up, go to school, have lunch with my husband, go to work, come home make dinner, then go to bed. Really it is so boring.

So I have decide to pick a topic for everyday and write a post based on that topic.

Meaningful Monday
Tasty Tuesdays
Wishful Wednesday
Thrifty Thursdays
Flashy Fridays

So because it is Thrifty Thursday and Sunday is Easter here is a cute decoration idea that I am stealing from a blog I stalk.

It is such a cute Idea I wish I would have thought of or seen it earlier!!



All it is some plastic eggs
Branches
ribbon and and cute vase!!

Love it I have all of those things maybe I will make it!!

Anyways hope you enjoy my goal to use my time wisely. And if you don't well... so what. ;)

Just Another Day

One year ago I wrote this post!

http://buttoned-down.blogspot.com/2009/03/just-like-any-other-day.html

I have decide that I need to review with you what has happened in that year!

1. I moved out of my parents house. I lived with some great girls!! Where I loved spending time with them.
2. I became more active in the church, went faithfully every Sunday. I also spent more time at church activities. I also started to pay my tithing faithfully so I could got to the temple.
   
3. I started dating more. I went on some interesting dates.
4. Became really good friend with this great guy named David.
   
5. Started to date amazing friend David.
6. Went to Disneyworld with David.
   
7. Got engaged to David/ Got my endowments out.
   
8. Married wonderful David In the Salt Lake temple.
   
9. Is one year closer to being done with school!
10. Is Happy turning 24 years old!!

Amazing how in one year my life can turn around so very much. And I don't think it would have happened if I hadn't made up my mind to make last year a better year. I made myself step out of my comfort zone. I really tried to make a change in my life and look at what wonderful things that happened. I guess turning 23 wasn't as bad as I thought it was. I have had a wonderful year.
So here is what I am going to do. This is a new tradition and I really want to do this every year. I will make one new years resolution on my birthday. I have a few I want to make. That I have written down. So here is the question are there any thing in your life that you want to change, or have changed in the last year for the better?

Reception

For all of you who came thanks for waiting in such a long long line. So many of our friends and family came and we stood in line from 6:00 to almost 8:30. Non-stop smiles and hugs and shaking hands. It was a lot of fun but boy was I exhausted.





My wonderful sister-in-law Kaite and her sister and a friend played in a string trio it was beautiful. Thank Ladies!!


We served Crepes, with all sorts of toppings. We didn't get to taste them but everyone said it was good and so much fun. I think everyone had a great time.
When there was a break in the line. I decide it was time to cute the cake and dance.

Of course I told David to be nice.











That doesn't mean I have to be nice.



But I helped him clean it up.

Then I got to dance with my daddy. I love him so much. He was whispering in my ear how much he loves me and how he was so proud of me. Ahhh I love him so much.



Then my hubby took over the dance!! I love this man so much!! Thank goodness I tricked him into marrying me.





Then it was time to throw the bouquet, and the guarder.



This was the random girl that caught my bouquet. I have no idea who she is but every wedding needs a wedding crasher. ;)







Bonner caught the Guarder...Hopefully Brooke will be the next bride.



But by then I was ready to go! So we said our goodbyes and changed our clothes. and hit the road.


And these two families combined because


These two people fell in Love!!!!!




Thanks for everyone how came and enjoyed this wonderful day with us!!
