New York

About a week after I got back from Texas I was able to fly to NYC to hang with my mom and Lucy for a couple days (I have the best husband EVER).  We had a great time.  I sure love being in New York.  The first night I spent in Queens with Annie and McKay and was so glad to spend at least a couple hours with them.  I should have taken some pictures!

I was pretty bad at taking pictures, but here's a peek at some things we did.  Most of our time was spent eating and shopping and seeing shows.  The first night we saw a small show that my brother's high school friend was in.  It was great!  Plus Bernadette Peters was sitting 20 feet away, so that was pretty sweet.
view from our hotel-we were joking it had "park views" (this is my camera almost all the way zoomed in)

We met Adam Pascal after the show-love him!!
The second day we headed downtown-right during the Giants Superbowl Parade.  It was crazy town!

January

January is not my most favorite month.  There's the huge let down after the holidays and the realization that winter has actually just barely started.  But we tried to make the most of it nonetheless.  Classes started back up and I got to take one this time!  Kellogg is awesome and lets partners sit in on pretty much any class we want.  I took a marketing class from one of Sam's favorite professors which was great.
Here's the month in instagram pictures.

We started out the month right with a New Years/birthday party with friends

Parker started Primary.  I'm a teacher so I was able to watch him.  I may have cried while watching him sing "I am a Child of God"...and three other times.

We had crazy weather.  50 degrees one day, snowing the next.

Went to the Museum of Science and Industry with friends

Costco

 

Our cooking group did raw foods-it was crazy.  I made a raw cheesecake-surprisingly delicious!


at the end of the month I went home to Texas to watch Lucy in Okalhoma!

And was finally able to meet my new niece Jenna.  How cute is she?

So January ended up being pretty awesome!
