We had a fun Halloween. I was sad because Alex was sick on Friday and couldn't go to the family party. He had a low grade fever. I thought for sure he would be sick for Halloween but he has been fine! Grandma and Papa came over and we had Maple Garden (mmmm) and went trick or treating. The boys had a great time.
It was 8 long years ago today that I left to move to New Jersey. I had packed up most of my belongings a week earlier and sent it to my new home. A home with two darling little girls (funny I ended up having sons) and two awesome parents. As I stepped on the plane I was full of excitement, not sad at all. My mom was scared since 9/11 had just hit and I was living only about 20 miles from NYC. The father, who worked in NYC, was evacuating the city with thousands of others after the first tower was hit and witnessed the second tower get hit. He was a tall tough guy who never got emotional, however he couldn't talk about it (of course!) without getting choked up. Anyways back to the fun part, it was one of the best years of my life, I met great friends, had fabulous weekends in NYC and loved my girls. Oh the stories I could tell (including one very late night, having our subway derail and catch fire, Seriously) Memories!
Alex had his first day of preschool last week. Luckily some gals in my ward and I are doing the preschool ourselves and switching off every week. He has loved it so far. I have loved it too :-) Only having one child to take care of for a few hours is so nice. I can't believe he is old enough to be in preschool!
On to little brother...
Ever seen Spaceballs? Remember Lord Helmet? Yeah, enough said....
Finally!
Barry surprised me with tickets to New York City. Well I ruined my own surprise. I have been looking for cheap tickets everyday so we can go for our 5 year anniversary. I saw some for $129 and when he got home from work I was bugging him that we should just book them. He was acting all wierd and I was kind of getting annoyed. Finally he pulled out an envelope, yeah he had already booked us tickets. Not only that, he had already talked to my mom about watching the boys and booked us a hotel! Awww, I know, he is the best.
I am counting down til December when we get to go. I have been wanting to get back there for the longest time, it has been 7 years! I am way excited also to drive over to New Jersey for a few hours and see where I used to live.

Out of 30 men, she chooses him?!? She must be attracted to tiny green swim shorts, overly hairy chests and drunkeness. Ew, I know I said I wasn't even going to watch after what happened last time but somehow I get sucked in. (By the way nice lion shirt, I think my 3 year old has one just like that.)
Here's the man she should have chose, the one who was taking things slower instead of being all over her. What does everyone else think?
I guess it really doesn't matter since they will break up in a few months anyways (if they aren't already)
