Past weekend

Last weekend I went home for 2 seconds - I had a bachelorette party to go to for Alexia - here is a picture from the shindig :).

I know i needed to iron my shirt - but i have an excuse i was traveling :)

GO PATS!

Opening Kick off - look at the little men - love it and THEM! You can see the lighthouse on the other side of the stadium - I must say it was pretty distracting as well as the Cheerleaders - but that is for another day :).
The Gillette Screen - it is so fun to be in the stadium!
I don't know why but it seems like things like this happen to me often, but when i sat down there was this little treat on the ledge directly in front of me - it was ironic because we were playing the ravens (a little morbid -but i didn't do it - i just found it).
Me - we were up high - but they were good seats look how pretty the field is :)- we did think about going down closer (the stadium was probably only 1/3 full)- but we were good where we were.

Yes, I know the Pats lost - but I was there and saw it first hand - so here are some pictures of the cool stadium!

GUESS WHERE I WILL BE TOMORROW NIGHT!!!!

I got tickets through work - love it!!! Love getting tickets to things for FREE!!!!

GO PATS!!!

GUESS WHAT ELSE IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!!

SHARK WEEK STARTS NEXT WEEK!!!!!!!

Look for the best week of the year starting Sunday July 27th!!!

ENJOY

The Excitement

I know this is WAY early - but someone mentioned Zanesville to me and it made me think of home and naturally OSU Football - so here it is for all you fans - start marking your calendars now!!!

I love this place

and am so excited to see this!!!

July 4th in Boston

So this past weekend was a fun and long holiday weekend! Thursday I worked a 1/2 day and then headed over to the hatch shell to see the rehearsal show of the Pops and rascal flats - we had great seats! My camera is broken - so i have to rely on others pictures - so maybe i will update this post later with more personal pictures (instead of what i can find on the Internet). It did rain crazy like for about 15 mins - so we just stood up and made a tent with our blankets - it worked pretty well considering the situation :) - we weren't very good at the whole planning thing!

Friday - we had high expectations for the weather regardless of the weather predictions - but for once the weather man was right on and it was cloudy, rainy and gross almost all day! So instead of hitting a beach we went and got brunch at the ball street cafe - it was quite good - and i love being a girl and getting free stuff! The owner thought he knew me from somewhere and gave us a plate of lovely fruit - loved it. Next ran some errands, went home napped a little and went over to Spencer's house he has a great view of the river and the fireworks. Even though he had an awesome view - Lina, Merrit, Rachel and I decided to go down to the river to watch - there is something about feeling the explosions and being around all sorts of people that make for an amazing firework show! It was amazing this year - lots of new technology - so FUN!

Saturday - Again we had high hopes for the weather - needless to say i think it is the first time the weather man has predicted two days in a row accurately! I started off the day running (like a crazy person) with a new friend - the guy that makes the ice cream at Christina's - he is this crazy runner - runs 6min miles for 20 miles - i said crazy and i meant it! Nicky started talking about running with him a few weeks back and last weekend we went with him for the first time - it was a great run - but this weekend it was just me and him and HOLY CRAP he kicked my butt! It was a great run - we did 7 miles in an hour and maybe 5mins - for me that is awesome! He is so nice - b/c the whole time we were running he was like you are ready for races - you can certainly qualify for the Boston marathon - i will help you train - so inspirational - so we will see how dedicated i get about this! After the run Lina, Merrit and I ignored the weatherman and attempted the beach - we lasted maybe a half hour - maybe. It was cold didn't even take of my shirt and shorts. Instead we went over to the Flour (famous bakery in Boston thanks to the Food Network and Rachel Ray) - it was good - we didn't get sticky buns - but the sandwiches were good! Later we went to see Get Smart - really fun movie- laughed the whole time unless i was being grossed out (only happened twice - the rat scene and the vomit scene - just too much for me :))

Sunday was a lovely relaxing day - went to church and went home to relax and take a nap - feel asleep while Harry Potter was on and woke up to go have dinner with Chelsea (amazing bbq chicken!) played a couple rounds of liars dice and original Super Mario Brothers (that's right original).

There is the recap for the past weekend - other than that - back to work I go!

BIG WIN!!!! GO BOSTON!!!

So last night was another great night for Boston Sports - the Celtics killed the Lakers in game 6 - so fun!!!!

I have loved the Celtics since I was a little girl watching Larry Bird play - I remember just loving him and the whole team (and in a girly way - I really like the Celtics green - but only slightly the focus :))!

Sports up here have been particularly fun to root for this past year or so - when teams are winning it is easy to love them!

Here are some pictures of the post celebration - just a glimpse at the craziness that assuredly happened - probably to the point of not wanting to see - but here is the fun beginning - hehe!

SKYDIVING

So this weekend I went skydiving! It is just so much fun!!! I told my instructor(Tom) I had been before and since I was surprisingly calm; I got to do some fun stuff - we did flips out the plan, i got to pull the cord for the parachute to open and help control the turning and landing - so so so so sosossososososo FUN!!! I was last on our flight to jump - so i saw everyone falling out of the plane - it was wicked cool! There isn't a lot of waiting around which is probably a better thing- you get up there they open the door and you all jump within a 5min time period. Because i was the last one out I got to see everyone else's parachutes opening. After a few mins Tom pointed out one of the chutes being a reserve - we came to the ground and realized it was Nicky - she told us the story of how their main chute floated past and they got to do a second free fall (she thought it was a little treat - b/c the free falling is the shortest part - so a little extra never hurt - right.). We started talking to the guys about getting certified so to be able to jump yourself - I am seriously considering it - i want to get certified in Scuba Diving and now Skydiving - I am realizing I like extreme things - it just makes life so much more exciting! Anyone game to keep up?

THE START OF A WHOLE WEEK'S WORTH OF CELEBRATION

So this weekend I started celebrating my birthday - so fun! A few friends and I went down to Martha's Vineyard aka the Vineyard or if you are like me you know it as Amity (hehe). We got up super early (for a Saturday) and drove to the ferry - about an hour and half away. The weather was projected to be in the 90s in Boston and mid to high 80s at the vineyard - but in the morning it was still a chilly 60 - we all dressed for 80s and lets say we were considering a purchase of a cheap sweatshirt of some sort as we waited for the ferry - but luckily as soon as we "landed" it was beautiful weather!

One of the guys who worked on the ferry asked us what our plans were and we chatted with him - we were looking to see some reminisce of Jaws filming but he said we wouldn't find much - but he had been on the island when it was filmed back in 74 and he said the shark was too real - it changed the ocean for him from then on. He was very nice and promised to give us the hook up if/when we returned - to just call ahead - i love it!

The plan was to rent bikes and bike around the island - but first we wanted to get a snack - we went to this little restaurant and got pulled pork sandwiches and soft-shell crab sandwiches (featured on $40 a day with Rachel Ray) - it was a great little place and the food hit the spot.

Next stop rent bikes - and we were off we started in Oaks Bluff (where Jaws was filmed) and headed towards Edgartown - it was awesome - it was so so so beautiful the towns were quaint, the water was awesome, the company was splendid and the weather just topped it off. We found a great beach and hung out for a little.

The ferry left at 5:15p and the day just flew by and we headed back up to Boston - we got back and the weather was 97 can you believe it! We went to my recently discovered FAVORITE restaurant (you know it is bad when the waiter knows you - he is such a nice guy though) it is in Davis Sq Martsa on Elm - it is a Tibetan place - and it is so cute - the decor and the food is awesome.

Then we headed back to the apartment where Nicky gave me my birthday present (so we could watch it if we so desired) can you guess what it was - Jaws (the original) -i love this movie - i think i will forever scream when i watch it - forever! I would just like to point out it is only PG and i can't really believe that - but i love it none the less.

Oh and Jaws trivia - Steven Spielberg was only 26 when he filmed Jaws - CRAZY!

Also when we got back - Carolina and Chelsea made cupcakes and decorated them with some awesome frosting! SO GREAT!!!

TALK ABOUT GREAT FRIENDS AND A FABULOUS WAY TO START THE CELEBRATION OF MY BIRTHDAY! THANKS LADIES!

A few pics from Trip - Typhoon Lagoon!

I am being an Allstar blogger this week, but i am sure i will soon have nothing to say - it comes and goes. :)

I just got these pictures from my trip to Florida - Nicky and i went to Typhoon Lagoon one day and had an underwater camera - We snorkled with SHARKS and Sting Rays - it wasn't dangerous - they weren't bigger than 5ft - but it was fun!
