I just got back (okay, it's been a few weeks, but I've been busy!) from a fabulous week-long trip to NYC. I went with my sister and her husband, and my parents. We had a great time and saw just about everything there is to see! The food was amazing, the city was right out of a movie, and all in all it's a glittering and colorful and out-of-this-world place to be. I got to go to lunch with my dear friend Anica Maggard, who I haven't seen since I got married! She is living in Connecticut and working as an aesthetician/makeup artist. It was the highlight of my trip to see her and visit for a couple of hours. **Anica, you're fabulous! You are a friend for a lifetime and I am so grateful for you and the influence you have had in my life! I hope ALL of the drag queens in Manhatten hire you to transform them! You rock, sista!** Lu got to stay home and be with the kids for the entire week, which he said was really hard but really fun. Welcome to motherhood! He sent me pictures and videos every day, which was fun but made me homesick. Luckily, we all survived the week! The kids were both excited to see me and wouldn't leave my side for days. Okay, that's not entirely true. Gibson was happy I was home and he wouldn't leave my side; Georgia couldn't figure out who I was for a couple of days which only hurt my feelings a little bit. Anyhoo, here are a few pictures from the trip!
Here I am, a little swollen but whatever, on one of the bus tours we went on! We went on a few tours, and had a few hilarious guides. What a great way to see the city!
This is the site of Ground Zero, where they are busy working on construction for the new WTC. It's bustling with activity, but there is still a very reverent feeling here.
The Statue of Liberty!!! I have to admit, I got teary when I was here. I was in complete awe of her and felt so grateful for all of the freedoms and liberties that she represents. We are so blessed to live in this chosen land, and I hope I never take it for granted.
The view from Rockefeller Center of Central Park. Wow!
The Naked Cowboy! I wanted to get a picture, but right as it clicked the car drove by. We had a good laugh when we saw the picture - what timing!

I'm so glad you had a great time. I am sad I wasn't able to babysit for you. I will have to make it up to you. Hey, My sister moved to American Fork, and lives sort of kinda by you. We passed your house the other day and I waved HELLO!!!! and I wanted to stop, but was with others. I can't believe Georgia is one already!!!! I agree, where does the time GO???!!!!
Brit! I feel the same about you! I wish we had more time together. I miss your sense of humor and laughing like a little girl! I will have to come visit you next time. We'll buy Otter Pops and Tampico, and we will indulge in them while we sing "Like A Prayer" and dance on our kitchen counter! Good old days of yesteryear.
PS I like the new family pic you have in your header. Pink is very flattering on you. :)
What a fabulous trip w/your fam! I love that you were able to take advantage of so man of the sights (including naked cowboy! hahahah). You look awesome in all the pics too-photogenic!
So, I never got Anica's contact info, could you email me her email address?? Thanks. I'm so jealous you got to see her! The girl is one of my favs!
P.S. your family pic at the top of your blog is LOVELY. You look like a star and your family is so cute!
What an amazing trip-I am so jealous! Loved the naked cowboy. I have heard of him, but now I can say I have seen him through you. I wish it weren't too late to go camping-oh well-next summer. But this time lets find a way to avoid the mosquitoes. See you soon.
