Weekend Update

So I didn't have anything to blog about this weekend because Brian was on call and I also worked. Nothing much is new with us. I did finish all 4 Twilight books so now I can get back to a normal life except now I have consumed myself with another big project. I decided to catch up on my scrapbook that I started when Brian and I began dating. I hadn't worked on it much since our wedding but I am proud to say that by the end of the week I should be done with it up to the point of us moving to NYC. I got the rest of the pictures in the mail from Shutterfly today that I needed to complete it. This is a huge weight off my shoulder. Don't get me wrong I love to scrapbook, but its much more enjoyable when you can do a few pages to recapture what you did at the end of each month rather that playing catch up with the last 3.5 years.  Once this book is finished I am starting a new one because I don't think I could squeeze one more page in. What else is new? Apparently all of Brian's patients love him at work. He has been getting cards, Starbucks gift cards, and requests for him to care for some of the special VIP patients. I am glad that he is putting that southern hospitality to good use in a city where it's defiantly appreciated. What can I say, I'm a proud wife. We do have some fun stuff planned this weekend and next. I hope everyone is having a great summer. 

A fun weekend

This weekend we enjoyed the beautiful HOT weather and had so much fun. On Saturday we went to Central Park and laid out and read. Saturday night we went out with Bob and Kristine to eat Japanese barbeque and then went to this random bar called Fat Cat. At first when you see Fat Cat you think its going to just be a little low key pub but that was not the case. Sports bar is an understatement as well. Fat Cat was a huge sports table gaming bar. There were about 15 pool tables, 10 ping pong tables, 5 shuffle board tables, and about 20 tables with Scrable and chess. We are not sure who would really want to go to a bar and play chess on a Saturday night but whatever. It was just so random but Brian got some good ping pong in. 

On Sunday we went on a really long bike ride. First I should mention that a couple weeks ago we bought bikes. Brian's is a road bike and mine is a hybrid. Brian has been riding to work so he gets about 80 to 100 miles a week commuting. On the weekends we are going to try and bike to different places in the city. On Sunday we biked to the park by the Hudson river in Tribecca. It was about 45 mins to the park then we rested and enjoyed the view and biked another 45 mins back. When we got home I was pretty tired, but I am so glad we got our bikes.

The nets were up to keep the ping pong balls in line

At Fat Cat Brian bought PBRs and we took the ones left home 

ME Time

So I have been away from the blog for a couple of weeks now.  It's not that we don't have anything exciting going on in our lives, it's just that summer has finally arrived in NYC and after long hot days of work and play I really haven't felt like blogging. Well, since I got that off my chest, one of the things I have been doing is enjoying ME time.  I finally have a regular work schedule going of working M,W,F and one to two nights per week (almost regular). So on my off days, Tu & Th, I usually do laundry and clean the apt and pay bills and all that stuff that no one ever really wants to do. This week I decided I didn't feel like doing chores and I wanted to enjoy this beautiful weather and just get out. Brian always encourages me to get out and not do chores because he says "Well we can just do the chores together and they will go by twice as fast." He really is a rare find. Anyways, I have joined the Twilight bandwagon and I just can't seem to do anything in my spare time these days besides read. On Tuesday I went and bought the second book, picked up a mocha from Starbucks, headed to Central Park, and soaked up rays for four hours or so while I read (by the way I am now on the third book and I hope to finish this blog soon so I can get back to my book).  Then on Thursday I went to take a dance class. I haven't taken a class in about 4 years so you can imagine the soreness I am feeling today. But it was worth it because I had so much fun, and even though I was not as flexible as I used to be its amazing how your body remembers all the correct technique. After dance I went went home, finished the second book, and then made a trip to the book store to pick up the third book in the Twilight series. This weekend Brian is off and we don't have any plans so I'm sure I will have pictures to share next week, but for now I am enjoying my ME time and if you are having a stressful day I suggest you indulge in a little ME time as well and I promise you will feel much better. Have a great weekend ya'll.

4th of July Weekend

This weekend we went to Maryland to visit Brian's parents for the long holiday weekend. It was so nice that Brian and I had a 3 day weekend.  Stephen also came in-town for a visit. We were just missing Andrew but he was in Hilton Head with friends. It was a nice relaxing weekend. We went shopping at the outlets, out to eat, a crab and shrimp feast at home, watched sports and movies, drank beer, and lots of quality time with Foster. We had the most beautiful weather, it was sunny and 80 everyday. Hope everyone had a great 4th.
