Goodbye

     Today was the last time I walked down Charles Street. 

I'm sad to leave Baltimore, but I'm also excited to see my family & spend some time with them before we go home. & I miss my house so bad. I can't wait to sleep in my bed, cook in my kitchen, sit on my couch & watch my tv... 

This has been a great experience. I'm going to miss the big city & walking everywhere. Well, only when the weather is nice. I really enjoyed going grocery shopping & walking home. I know it sounds weird. But I loved walking home with bags full of groceries.

I'm scared of flying... This is a new thing. I wasn't scared of flying until I started reading nienie's blog. I don't want to crash & burn... So I have my sleeping pills ready & I will be out cold tomorrow at 3:30 pm.

I suck at packing. I get bored & it takes me days to pack a suitcase. But Zach is so good at packing. He gets everything ready & cleans the house. I try my best. But even if I try really hard I don't get anything done. I'm lucky I have him. He's a hard worker & gets things done just like his dad.

Well, tomorrow at this time I will be in Vegas! Hopefully eating Cafe Rio. Zach & I have been craving Cafe Rio for the past 2 months. I can't wait to have a tostada!!!

Goodbye Baltimore.... I will miss you...

Lets go Orioles!

 Jeremy Guthrie is in our ward. His wife is really sweet. She was the first person to talk to me. She has been so nice to me these three months. She always makes sure I'm not by myself during relief society. She always sits next to me. Anyways, Jeremy got us tickets for last night's game. And it was AWESOME! I take back all the bad things I have ever said about baseball. I loved it. It was so much fun and relaxing at the same time. Balls fly all over the place. A guy got hit by one right in the face. The doctors took him right at the beginning of the game. Poor guy. A ball almost hit me. I ran and screamed like the girl I am. I wasn't embarrassed because 3 other girls did the same thing... The ball hit my seat so hard. I was glad I moved. Right after that happened we were on the big screen.

It took us a little while to figure out where to go when we got there and we didn't have time to talk to Jeremy. We just thanked him for the tickets. He told us to go to the dugout  after the game to talk to him.

I felt so bad because when we went to talk to him he was bombarded by like twenty kids asking for his autograph. The whole time he was talking to us and signing balls, shirts and hats. He took a picture with us. A little girl ask to take a picture with him, but he was too busy talking to Zach lol. None of the other players stayed to talk to people. We said bye to him and a second later I realized I had forgotten to ask for his autograph, I looked back and he was gone. It was so nice of him to give us tickets and stay after the game to talk to us, even if it meant kids touching him and yelling at him for an autograph. I felt pretty special :) 

 Yesterday I realized I love sports. Just live sports though.. I hate watching baseball and basketball on tv. But I love going to the UNLV basketball games. I want to move to a state where they have basketball, football and baseball and get season tickets to all of them. Actually, I want to move to Vegas and get UNLV basketball season tickets, but what are the chances of us moving back to Vegas soon and having enough money to buy season tickets ... Not good, but I can dream.

And The Countdown Begins

  

We are flying to Vegas in 11 days.

This has been a great experience. 

I love the East Coast & I would move anywhere except for Baltimore in a heart beat.

I fell in love with this city the first time I walked through it.

I used to go for walks to the harbor when I was bored. Then, it got way too hot & humid to go outside, so I spent most of my days inside. & when the weather cooled down a little I was way too scared to leave my house. It's INSANE how many murders happen here. It seems like 5 a day. Even in the nice areas like ours. Like a month ago they were looking for a guy that would follow girls to their houses & rape them & then there was a shooting inside the Cheese Cake Factory in the harbor. Now, Zach & I make sure we are home before it gets dark. Ambulances are everywhere. You hear them all day long as well as cop helicopters. It sounds like I'm exaggerating, but the sad thing is that I'm not. I don't ever watch the news because I get so scared. I didn't  want to leave when we first got here, but I think I'm ready to drive & feel safe in Logan.

 Our street

But overall our summer has been amazing! I love walking to places. Except when it's too hot. I love it that Zach was able to get an great internship & work with great people.

I really love living in different places. I hate moving & packing up my house twice in 3 months. This time was great. I just packed my suitcases. I would do this again every year. I love having something to look forward to at the begging of the year when we find out where we are going for the summer. And even though I'm ready to go home right now (it's only because the crime & the apartment's wall where we are staying at are soaked with water from the AC & I'm pretty sure mold is going to start growing pretty soon like it is in the bathroom) I would love to do this again.

 

I wish I could take the Harbor with me....

New York

Zach & I took a trip to New York last weekend. Just so you know....If you live a couple of hours from NY don't drive! You can take a bus for 13.00 & they are way nice. 

The weather was AMAZING. I was cold on Saturday morning when we left our house at 6:00 am & it was a little chilly that night. It rained Sunday & Monday was sunny and perfect. 

We loved everything about the city. But my favorite part was to be able to have a get away weekend with Zach & spend time with him without worrying about work & study.

I was asked to have an interview about my shop on lifestyle. You can check it out here.

I think Zach has bad luck with cell phones. He can't make or receive calls, but he can text. So if you need to get a hold of him text him or call me.

We took this picture for our niece Brooklyn

I can't think of any names for this post...

Sean & Leigh Ann Touhy came to Baltimore to give a speech. People asked them question & then they signed their book. It was.... Interesting.  I loved the movie The Blind Side, but I'm not going to lie. I lost a little respect from them after they told us how things really happened.

......

My hair is a mess. My highlight are half way down my head. I called a couple places to see how much it would cost to get my hair done  here & the cheapest was 140... Ridiculous!  The first thing I'm doing when I get off the airplane in Vegas is get my hair done... 

 .....

I knitted my first baby sweater. It turned out really small. I don't know any  babies that would fit into this sweater so I think I'm going to save it for my first baby boy. Don't worry, this is not an announcement.

I hope you all have a great week!

China Town

Yesterday we went to DC to have lunch with my old roommate Cara.

She works close to china town. We went to an awesome sandwich place. I don't remember the name. But I was great!
I was so happy to see her....
The End :)
