Don't Tase Me, Bro!

Here's the video that Preston BEGGED me for days to watch. I kept telling him, "No thanks!" The thought of watching it both horrified and saddened me. I finally gave in to Preston's constant nagging, and what was the result of viewing it? I'm even more horrified and saddened. Enjoy!

Cooking Motivation

My talented friend Sunni made these aprons, and I was so excited to receive them in the mail this week! Can you even believe how extra cute they are? I meant to get a picture of me wearing one while I was making Sunday dinner, but I forgot. Here are a couple of post-dinner shots, taken in a non-kitchen location. Sorry Sunni. I'll bake cupcakes later (maybe after a nap).

Ouch

Preston was tased (or tasered) yesterday. He's asking me to post a picture of his electrical burns, but I think that's best left to the imagination. The tasing took place in some correctional officer training class. I was definitely not as excited about it as Preston was.

New York - Day 4

Preston decided our NY photo album would not be complete without a picture of a NYPD officer. I really wasn't too interested in going up to a cop to ask if I could get a picture with him, so Preston asked for me. I mean, I look pretty excited in the picture, right? Thanks Preston. Dream come true!

Here we are at the end of our loverly carriage ride through Central Park. Near the beginning of our ride, our carriage driver person said he and his girlfriend were mugged last night. I really appreciated his story.

Well, I finally made it to Carnegie Hall. I guess I can make it anywhere now. I liked Steinway Hall down the street too. I don't really have a picture of that because it's not as famous as this place. Only famous stuff matters. I suppose Steinway pianos are famous, but you aren't really here to look at pictures of pianos now are you?

This is a neato sign for many reasons. I'm sure you can think of the reasons.

This little mangled-looking sculpture, known as "The Sphere", used to be situated between the World Trade Center Towers. As you can see, it was a little damaged. This is a temporary memorial erected at Battery Park in honor of those who lost their lives in the attacks.

New York - Day 3

This is, of course, Times Square. We took a night tour on a double-decker bus, and it was just delightful. I highly recommend it!

We had a great time in Chinatown and Little Italy. Upon the suggestion of someone we know in Las Vegas, we ate at Da Nico's (the sign is up on the right side). It made Olive Garden look like McDonald's pretty much. I mean, I love McDonald's and all, but I think ya'll know what I'm trying to say here. If not, move on.

We made it to the top of the Empire State Building (with some help from an elevator). We took the stairs for the last 6 flights because we were too impatient to wait for the second elevator. On the way back down, our laziness overpowered our impatience, so we waited.

There's the ESB from below, along with Macy's on the left. That reminds me, we need to leave our hotel room RIGHT NOW and do some shopping.

We attended church on Sunday at the Manhattan 1st Ward. Aren't we extra good?

Due to its popularity, "Wicked" gets its own slideshow.

New York - Day 2

Here's a really, really big sandwich we got from Ben Ash Deli. This is just half of the sandwich actually. Luckily I didn't have to eat the entire thing.

That's Times Square behind me. Better pictures are coming...I hope. We're on our way to see "Wicked". We went to "Mary Poppins" the night before, and it was so magnificent!



This is Preston, and he seems pretty happy to be driving away from the biggest church building in the US, and second biggest in the world (second only to the Vatican)

We're on our double decker tour bus, and we're pretty excited to be starting another day's adventures. I think that's the Museum of Natural History behind us. Oh, and there it is below.

As we were riding around on our bus tour, I looked up and saw a familiar figure. Can you see it too? We just turned a corner, and there it popped up. How fun!

New York - Day 1

Happy Anniversary To Us!

This picture was taken when we were dating just moments before we left for the "Gold & Green Ball" our singles' ward put on. This night is especially memorable, because it's the first time Preston told me he loved me. I mean, who wouldn't love me. I was lookin' good.

I found the cord.

POST Post

Preston might be mad about this post, but I am undeterred. I need to give the boy props for doing well on the POST test he took last week. There were 4 different sections, one of which was...MATH!!! Preston hasn't done math for a while, so he was doubting his skills. It turns out all his worry was for nothing.

Well, I have pictures to show you people, but I can't find that blasted cord that hooks the camera to the computer. In the past week or two, we've been to a family reunion in Idaho, to the Deer Valley Music Festival, and to St. George to take the mother to a birthday dinner and visit precious McKay. Also, I got a picture of this ginormous banana split we ate tonight at Leatherby's. When that camera cord shows up, ya'll will be the first to know. I'm sure you can't wait.

51

Preston and I were invited to go to a 51s game with some of his co-workers. I'd never been to a game, sad to say. It was loads of fun. Because the 51s scored over 10 runs in the game, everyone in the stadium got a coupon for a free shrimp cocktail at the Golden Gate in the Fremont Street Experience. We all made sure we got our shrimp after the game. Good times!
