Getting asked to go to a military ball at a place that looks like Hogwarts (West Point)? I cannot even tell you how many dreams this nights will accomplish! Well actually it will fulfill exactly two.
1. Going to a ball
2. Going to a place that looks like hogwarts
now if only I can convince them to let me come in a hot air balloon... Then it would be three.
Pictures to come

my 15 things
I would like to start this off by blaming thanking kimber culter for this post because she tagged me in one of those "write fifteen things about yourself and pretend like people care" things. But I actually really enjoyed reading hers so I thought I would give it a little try :)
1. If I could I would top every single thing that I put in my mouth with parmesan-reggiano I would do it in a heartbeat. It is divine. In fact I have tried it on some strange things and I have never found anything I didn't like with it. Yet...
2. I can't eat out of already opened boxes of cereal unless I am the one who opened it.
3. I read the back of the food labels of EVERYTHING. And no its not for the nutrition information but instead for the ingredient list, and I can recognize most of them. Because I am obsessed with food science.
4. If I could live anywhere in the world it would be in Costa Rica. Where the world is green and it never gets below 60 degrees.
5. When I moved to Utah I bought a pet cactus names sunny (or george wabaya depending on who you ask). I couldn't bring it with me to New York and I miss him a lot.
6. When I was in High School I was on the Chemistry Challenge team. I won first in state.
7. The one thing I hate most in this world is giving talks in church, and I have only done it once and it was in front of three men from the first quorum of the seventy and president uchtdorfs entire family...
8. I'm fluent in America Sign Language and have a bad habit of finger spelling when I talk sometimes
9. Chemistry is my favorite subject because even when the world and everyone in it is confusing and unpredictable, the world and everything its made of always makes sense.
10. Most people don't realize how short I actually am until I tell them that I am only 5'1. Usually after they find this out the short jokes never end.
11. The thing I want to do most with my food science degree is working with the church humanitarian to help feed those in third world contries.
12. If I wasn't mormon I would probably gamble away every penny I had. For some reason I really like gambling. Good thing I can't.
13. My favorite topping on popcorn is tabasco sauce.
14. I never actually know what to put on things when it asks me for my eye color. Because to this day I still don't know if they are green or blue, and I don't think my eyes know either because they are always changing.
15. When I think about the places I want to see most in this world its not places like france, switerland or italy its places like ghana, nicaragua, uganda and columbia.
and to go along with the whole "tagging others" things here goes
marci judkins, amber payne, dana woodbury, karissa brown, and jordan brown

concrete jungle
NYC is named concrete jungle. And after visiting it for the first time in years last week I realized why. That place is freakin HUGE! The buildings are so tall that you can hardly see the sun. Just like those trees that cover forests. The random people that you see from ALL over the world is amazing! You can't walk down a street without hearing 5 different languages. It's amazingly beautiful at night until it gets so cold that you want to die! Luckily, it won't be cold forever! (speaking of which the kids have had four snow days and a monday holiday since I have been here! which means they have had more days off of school then they have in school this semester! its CRAZY!!!)
NYC (my very first trip to nyc as a nanny)
taking the subway into the city
The Brooklyn Bridge
Time Square
Ok how cool is this back ground?? sunset in the bridge! AMAZING!!!
love love love

a small world
When I first moved away from home and I met someone who I had a mutual friend with at BYU, I would be so shocked! I was a whole state away, but still somehow we knew the same people all the way in Arizona. Now that I moved to NYC I cannot believe how small the world actually is. I have met so many people out here that know people that I know to from California, Arizona, and Utah. Its CRAZY!
a few of my small world experiences include
1. The girl that nannied here before me is from cedar and so is one of my very best friends. They know each other and their families! small world
2. I met a girl in my new ward who is from my home stake. I knew her younger brother and our dad's serve on the high counsel together. small world
3. I met another girl in my ward who went to the singles ward from my stake back home in mesa. We know ALL the same people. small world
4. I met a girl at FHE who looked EXACTLY like a girl from one of my EFY groups years ago. We were good friends and talk sometimes and it freaked me out that they looked so much alike! They could be twins! So I asked her if she knew the girl and come to find out she is her older sister!!! small world
5. My new gym buddy is from st george. come to find out she knows some people there that I worked at
Aspen Grove with!
6. one of the girls that I was sitting next to in relief society last week told me she grew up in provo. Come to find out she knows one of the guys I used to hang out with a lot at byu! Small world
7. I met another girl at institute from utah and come to find out she knew a guy from my freshman ward.
