Time to Catch Up

Sorry that it has been so long since I last wrote. But not a lot is going here to write about. We have just been hanging out and enjoying our really hot and very humid summer here on the island.

So when last I wrote we were about to go out for our anniversary which was a lot of fun. On the third we got up and went into the city and spent the afternoon at the last museum I wanted to see which was the Natural History Museum. I don't know why but I absolutely love the taxidermy animals, they are always my favorites at the museums. And these did not disappoint. After that we went back to our hotel which was right on the East River and got ready for dinner, and if anybody ever gets the chance they MUST eat at the Mesa Grill. It was one of the best dinners I have ever had! On the fourth we ended up going to see the Yankees and the Red Sox play at Yankee Stadium which was cool because this is their last season there. After that we decided to just go home and spend the rest of the weekend by ourselves and forgo the Hampton's. So we ended up having a very nice relaxing weekend.

On another note I finished Elantris and I have to say I really enjoyed it. It was really different than any other Fantasy I have ever read. Even though it is a stand alone I would highly recommend this book. I am now trying to push through an Elizabeth biography that I have been reading for a couple of months. My goal is to finish before the end of the month but it may be pushed back to the end of August because July is almost over.

Well I guess that is all for now. Hope everyone is enjoying there summer.

rambling

Last week both of our moms came out to visit and I had a fabulous week of not doing to much and shopping! On Wednesday the 4 of us went into the city and did some major walking around Central Park. I finally got to see some places that I haven't seen before. One of my faves was the Bethesda Fountain.

On another note as most of you who know me know that I love to read. It is one of my favorite things to do. So I just want everyone out there to know that I am reading a new Fantasy author named Brandon Sanderson. It turns out that he is going to finish Robert Jordan's last book Memory Of Light so I though I would check out his style with this book called Elantris. When I am done with it I will let you know what its like.

Other than that not much is going on here in the Lewis house hold. Next Thursday is our 4 year anniversary and we have reservations at Mesa Grill in New York city. I am very excited because this is one of Bobby Flays restaurants! And then we are staying the night there and then its off to the Hampton's for the fourth of July weekend.

Maybe after that I will have more to write on.

It's been a while

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last posted. Not a lot has happened in that time. We are still getting settled in our refurbished barn. Hopefully the last of the major stuff will be completed while we are in Colorado this weekend. Hubby and I are really enjoying it out here long island, we are 5 minute walk from the north shore beaches and about a half hour drive to some really pretty south shore beaches. Long Island is so different then Connecticut, I didn't think it would be but it is. There are parts that you wouldn't think you would see out here. There are a lot of fields and farms and the north fork of the island is full of wineries, which I am looking forward to sampling.

This weekend is taking us back to Colorado, which we are looking forward to. We are spending Friday in Denver and can't wait to see our friends who we miss. On Saturday we are heading up to the springs for the rest of our visit which is a surprise to my in-laws since we are coming home for a surprise anniversary party for them.

That's all for now, I hope everyone is enjoying their summer so far!

A little note

We finally made it to Long Island and are set up in an extended stay hotel till our place is ready in about two weeks. There really isn't anything to tell other than I made a GREAT discovery today. For the past year and a half we have lived without a Chipotle and today I found one not 5 minutes from our hotel. This is one of our favorite places and am so happy to have in our state. Yum, I can't wait for dinner.

So much to do, so little time.

When we decided to make our new move we had only about two weeks to get everything done. Thankfully our apartment is very sparsely furnished, unlike when we moved out here we had 3 bedroom house and only 3 weeks to get everything done which we didn't, so my in-laws had to finish for us. So the first week I got everything packed except our room, bathroom and the kitchen, which really helped because I was in Colorado for the weekend. So on Tuesday the packing started all over again. With only two days left I am doing pretty good, I have finished the kitchen minus two appliances that will just be thrown into a box and when I am done with this little break I will start packing up our clothes. So hopefully all that will be left for tomorrow is some cleaning and on Saturday I will finish packing our room and clothes and then it's on to Long Island!

That's really all for now, with the stress of packing and moving not a lot is happening with us. Although yesterday I got a new book called Forest Mage by Robin Hobb, so I am ready for down time to start my new book. Our new place is situated in a forest like area and we have a pretty good size deck so I can't wait to sit outside, enjoy the fresh air while reading and enjoying a nice glass of chilled wine.

Packing is so boring!

So my hubby and I have recently decided to make a change in our lives and it comes in the form of moving boxes and packing tape. In a little over a week we will be residing on Long Island. I absolutely hate packing and am not looking forward to it but hubby works so much I am the only one who can do it. The really sucky part is that there is a pretty good chance that by the years end I will have packed up and moved yet again. Although when this move happens I will be ecstatic because we will be going home. But since nothing is ever set in stone there is no use thinking about that now.



In other news I will be going home this weekend to spend time with family and can't wait. I have a six month old niece that I haven't seen since she was born and a three year old one as well whom I miss. I am so excited!!



Hope all is well with everyone!!

Introduction to us

I am new to this whole blogging thing but am very intrigued by it so I though I would give it ago. Most people who read this already know me but if there any who don't here's a little information.

To begin I am in my mid twenties and have been married for almost 4 years. We are from Colorado but are currently living in one of the most boring places (sorry to those of you who live here) called Connecticut. But we are close to several cool places and my hubby and I like to travel on the weekend whenever we can. As stated before we travel a lot and it is one of my favorite things to do. I also enjoy reading and love nothing more then sitting on the couch with a blanket and a good book on a rainy day. My hobbies include scrapbooking and trying to cook, they are my ways to be creative. I currently am not working anywhere permanent but when there are jobs I am temping. My husband is an engineer and is working on helicopters right now. His main hobbies are hockey and golf. We are an odd mix because he loves being active and I love laying on the couch.

One other person who is a big part of our lives is our cat Monster. He is like our baby and spoil the heck out of him. He is just so cute!

So that was a little peek into who we are. Hope you enjoyed!
