Dear blogging world,
In case you haven't yet realized I fail miserably at updating my blog. When I finally do I have so many pictures and so many things to say my posts come out as massive quick updates with a bagillion pictures. My apologize but here I go once again. I officially only have 2 more weeks out here in the lovely NYC before I head back to the papers, the tests, and the overall amazingness that is BYU.

So as promised here goes my massive picture update.

1. I FINALLY got to spend a birthday with my BFF Cortney (and who would have thought that it would be all the way out in NYC) For some reason July 2 is always when her family decides to take there vacations so I have never actually gotten to celebrate one with her. Crazy huh? Well we went to the beach and got all dressed up and went out to dinner! SO FUN!

2. Saw the 4th of July fire works on the Hudson. OK can I just say that they were AMAZING!!!

3. Caroline FINALLY came to visit me for 2 whole weeks of adventure! It was amazing and of course we did TONS of touristy things like

grand central

the wax museum

SHOPPING

Cake boss :)

Canal street and littly Italy

And the Wicked Lottery which we won FRONT ROW TICKETS to!!! So so so amazing!
and yes this is of our seats and yes this is the orchestra pit!

4. and many many memorable days with my kids at the beach :) and other fun stuff but mostly the beach

And lastly a quick shout out to Sis Saunders (one of the two people who read my blog, the other my mother). I promised an update and here it is :)
and here is a little treat for you from the good ole days :)

pretty sure Cort and I are 16 here! LOVE IT!
