"dont you just love NYC in the fall?"

Two weeks ago I traveled up to NYC with a few girls from work. It was a lot of fun, beautiful weather - perfect fall weather in NYC. We did a lot of walking but we also went and saw Wicked. It was amazing !! !! I'd go see it again. and highly recommend it. . The music was amazing, I felt like a little kid sitting there grinning the entire time:) We stayed right down from Time Square, right in the heart of it all - it was a really fun weekend. Here are a few pictures I took with my phone.

The Empire State Building


The City that NEVER sleeps !

all i need now is a rocking chair..

well - i've done it. i finally taught myself how to knit. i dont know where this recent urge has come from, but i've always wanted to learn. and i finally have been teaching myself. i bought a book - but youtube videos were much more helpful! i'm excited. i'm not sure that i'll ever make anything really cool - but hey, a few gifts out of the hobby would be nice!!.. if i ever finish any projects i'll show you pictures, for now, i'm in the beginning stages of practicing different stitches and what not.

if you know of any good sites with patterns or something easy for me to start out with - do share :)

i love my family <3

Look at this adorable picture of my nephews with my future husband. Brandon is still getting used to being an Uncle but dont let him fool you - - he loves it !!! I love visiting The Schmidt's. And on my last break I got to spend a considerable amount of time with them. and that makes my heart happy.

I want to live near my family. Brandon wins. haha
