What a wonderful town!!!

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

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!!
