NYC

Back to reality!

Heather and Brock are gone :( we just got back from taking them to the airport just a little bit ago. I already miss them so much! We had SO MUCH FUN together. We spent our first 3 days in NYC and then drove back to Ithaca to show them our little town!

I thought initially Heather and Brock were going to want to stay in NYC LONGER then we did but they were just ready to leave that busy city as soon as we were! NYC is SO BUSY and fast and EXPENSIVE!!! We had a great time EATING and eating some more! We went to a comedy show one night that was pretty good, shopped, ate lots of food, went to ground zero, took lots of cab rides, saw the empire state building, went to a taping of Live with Regis and Kelly- and a lot more!

Our hotel was really nice! It was called The President Hotel in Times Square it had a lot of fun "president" decor and was modern and cool. We shared an awesome suite with Heather and Brock- fun times! We were LITERALLY right in Times Square so we had constant noise and people everywhere but it was fun (for just 2 nights!) we couldn't have stayed there any longer I don't think! Don't worry I "let loose" of my "eating habits" and gained like 3-4 lbs JUST in NYC! :) Back to my eating good again though!

We got back to Ithaca Friday evening and just sat down on the couch- watched 3 days of American Idol and bought a pizza :) it was great except I WAS SO SAD that my favorite singer, Alex Lambert was kicked off :( I don't even want to watch the show anymore- they should call it "popularity idol" b/c its obviously not about keeping the people with good voices anymore.

We showed Heather and Brock where T.J. works in Cornell, did a little shopping downtown, took them to a couple of our favorite restaurants, rented a couple movies, saw Shutter Island (SO GOOD- not scary!), and just HUNG OUT and had a great time with amazing friends. T.J. took Brock out to the woods a couple times with the dogs too and hopefully I can get some of the pictures Brock took b/c he got some AWESOME shots.

Troy got here to Ithaca on Sunday and he'll be here till Saturday- brother bonding time :) It makes it a little easier having him here even though Brock and Heather left b/c we aren't completely alone!

Say a little prayer for me tomorrow! I start my "new job" at the optometrist!
