We Moved!

Ok, it wasn't that big of a move but it has been wonderful! We decided it was important to stay in the same ward so we're only 2 blocks away. I will try to find a picture of our previous apartment but it was old and ghetto. We lived on the 4th floor walk-up in an apartment built in the 1920's. We lived there for 2 years and it was good but we were ready for a change. We found a couple year old duplex-type house with only one previous tenant. It is still only an 8 minute walk to the subway but in a more residential type neighborhood. The girls that live above us are my classmates and, I haven't met them yet, but I heard there is a couple with a baby in our building...Yay! I took some pictures to send my sister and thought I would share. I haven't really finished decorating - my Mom is coming for graduation and I really need her help.

View from the outside


Our old street smelled like dog crap...our new landlord plants pretty flowers right outside our front door :)


After you walk in the front door this is the long hall going to our kitchen and living room


The Kitchen...it's hard to tell, but this connects to the living room


Living Room...made especially to sleep many people :)


The Hall to the Bedroom



We love our new place...but mostly we love to have people come stay with us. So, if you want to come to NYC we'd love to have you!!!

Happy 4th of July

For the 4th of July we wanted to get away and do something relaxing. We decided to go to a little beach town in New Jersey called Cape May. It was so cute and quaint. We went with our wonderful friends the Smith's.

Car packed, drivers excited and ready to go!


Nathan snuggling with little Brody



I'm completely obsessed with this kid!


The Smith Family!

Headed to the beach!

Fun at the beach!



The town had a cute little flag ceremony at sunset, on sunset beach...where we found some Cape May Diamonds!

Brody "Aw man, this chick has got to stop squeezin me"

"Just kidding, I still love her!"

I've got to get myself one of these :)

Time to go home, what an awesome vacation!
