NYC Storyboard

These last few months I have slacked on the blogging front to say the least... so this is my attempt to do a little bit of catch up via storyboard since I have wayy too many pictures from my trip to New York City!(this is about 2 months late)

01. This is where it all started... Amy came to town to visit Jessie and I, we decided we needed to have a girls trip... 02. We took the redeye into NYC, this shows how fab we look once we landed... 03. It rained all day and was super cold so we strolled around until we could check in but one highlight was getting tickets to Letterman that night to see Steve Martin!... 04. Day 2 began with our venture out to Soho to get some delicious pizza and... 05. Hot chocolate. 06. In Soho we shopped til we dropped and then some.
07. We ventured to Serendipity but stopped in Dylan's candy shop while we waited for our table... 08. Serendipity post meal and post frozen hot chocolate... 09. Day 3 took the red bus tour around to see the statue of liberty... 10. Warmed up inside the Plaza hotel, so beautiful!... 11. Met Connor (my cousin) to ride bikes through Central Park but ended up walking the bikes... 12. Jumping in Central Park
13. Thank goodness Connor was there and patient enough to take a lot of pictures of us in Central Park!... 14. At the fountain in Central Park... 15. Connor and I left the gals to meet up with Stanton and Rubi (my cousin and his wife)... Love stantons face in this one... 16. Decided to go to the Brooklyn bridge to see the city lights (freeezing) but stopped by Dayna's work to surprise her on our way!... 17. Freezing on the bridge... 18. Then took the subway to Stanton and Rubi's place in Harlem
19. Actually putting the bikes into use Connor gave me a tour of Columbia, the Hudson and a few of his favorite spots at 12 am or so which happened to be my favorite part of the day... 20. Camera timed posers...21. Connor the tour guide once again coming to the rescue to take us to Brooklyn's Egg and the Brooklyn flea market... 22. On the way to brunch at Egg we ran into the NYC Marathon and ran through it(so fun!) ... 23. Ladies in the subway... 24. Finished off the trip/day by walking from Brooklyn back to Manhattan over the bridge...

We had a busy and fun few days in NYC... even though it was freezing I loved being in the big city!

Lately...

Lately I have been pretty crazy busy with the fall tennis season. We just finished up our last tournament of the fall and so things will start to slow down again! Here is where I have been for the past month or so...

Saw Amy while I was out in San Francisco for the Berkeley invitational

Hung out with A.C. Slater at the Grove

This lady come to visit me in Santa Barbara and watch the girls play

Hanging out in the hot Vegas heat (in the shade of course) during out 13 hour days at the tennis courts!

The good ol' days

I was looking at some old pictures on my computer and found these gems. I believe these photos are circa 2006 or something? I miss the good ol' days hanging out with these ladies doing nothing but taking silly pictures and being totally entertained! Too bad these two live in AZ and Im still here in provo! I miss you guys!!

The Big 2-5

Last weekend I turned the big 2-5. The night before (friday night) I took the team on a traveling practice up to Sundance. We spent the night and had fun playing games all night. The next day we went on the chair lift at the resort which was beautiful! From there Kirk took me to Salt Lake shopping and for some yummy lunch and dinner. He had me pick out a new dress for a surprise which ended up being going to see the Lion King at the Capitol theater! I was so surprised and had so much fun!

...you have to play the game to understand)

Labor Day Weekend

For the Labor day weekend some special people came up to visit. We had such a fun weekend with a lift ride in sundance to celebrating grandpa brown's bday!

We couldn't put little Brighton down all night

The Bday boy!

Sundance!

Viva LV

Last weekend Kirk and I went to LV for a last little get-away before school started. We stayed at the Trump hotel which was nice and we had a few visitors meet us on their way to UT from CA. We walked around, ate good food, saw ja rule, and lounged at the pool, recipe for the perfect mini-cation.

a little overrated, maybe the LA one is better?

Georgetown

I recently found these pictures from our trip to Georgetown... We loved everything about this place, especially the cupcakes :)
