More Boston


Ok so I look like a weird little elf or something in this picture but this is seriously the 1st thing we did when we got to Boston... straight to the warm clothes section at the nearest Macy's! It was SO cold!

This was probably my favorite part of the trip... This is Newbury Street aka shopping central!! It had everything under the sun! Lots of cute little shops and boutiques. I could have spent some serious time and money here if I didn't have Jon with me.

This is the Boston temple... about 30 minutes from downtown so we drove down there after church on Sunday. We figured this was the only time we could park in this spot so we took advantage.

Anyway, I think thats about all there was in Boston. It was a good trip for us to really see what life would be like there... We will find out for sure in a couple of weeks if this is where we will be going for Jons school...

Boston



So we are back from our trip to Boston and these are some of the highlights...

This is the reason we went on the trip... The Boston Architectural College.  Jon had a meeting with a counselor and found out a little more about the program.  It was a pretty cool school, right down town in the middle of some serious shopping! Good stuff...


This is the Boston Library.  Jon took some pretty cool pictures in there.


Gormet dining....


These geese were so funny! We were in the car and Jon was about to run them over but they just sat there!  So I rolled down the window to yell at them to move and as soon as they heard my window crack they all turned and started running towards the car... I dunno, it was just funny at the time I guess :)


These are a few pictures from the New England Aquarium.  It was pretty cool too, mostly because of the penguins.... If you know me at all, you know they are my favorite!  I must have taken a million pictures of them.... so cute!


There are more pictures to come but my computer is having a bit of a struggle so hang tight and there will be more to come...

Valentines Day

So this was the first of many surprises that showed up at work.  I love love love flowers and this boquet had all my favorites and it smelled soooooo good!  I wish you could add smell to a blog...
And this is what I got when I got home!  My cute husband was the chef and waiter for the night!  He was all dressed up, had the house all clean, had the table all set with our best stuff, the martinellis on ice (haha, I love that stuff!) and had dinner ready!  It was so so so nice!  I teased him the other day about not being able to cook but I take that back now! It was such a good dinner!
He even made a fancy dessert with all the swirly things. YUM!
And THIS was my last surprise!  For those of you who are not familiar with WACA, it is a very important organization and support group for wives who HATE the school of architecture because it steals or husbands away from us with it's INSANE hours and impossible projects!  Ok so it's not real, but one of Jon's earlier school projects was to design a logo and he asked me what he should do, and the first thing that came to my mind was WACA- Wives Against the College of Architecture.  So he designed it and got an A on the project.  After that I kept telling him I wanted a shirt with my logo.... and here it is!

So that was my amazing Valentines Day! It's probably not as thrilling to any of you but I am a sucker for cheesy stuff like this, I just loved it!  Thanks so much to my wonderful husband for putting all the effort and thought and work into making this a special Valentines for me!  You definately got an A+++ on this assignment! 
 You are so amazing and I love you to pieces!  

P.S. All I did for Jon was get him architecture books and some chocolate covered strawberries.... I think I got a C- on my assignment :(  I will do better next year!

Clarification

Referring to the last post... We are NOT the carriers of baby #4. I had a comment and 2 text messages about that so sorry if that was confusing! We wish though :(

TOO CUTE!!


Ok so I stole this from my Mom's blog so this is a repeat for my family, but I just LOVE this picture! Allie (far right) is pulling the funniest face! Anyway, neices are the best thing ever (besides your own kids I'm sure). Plus, look at my Mom!! Is she a babe or what? Serious, she does not look like a Grandma to 3! (soon to be 4!! yay!)
