HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!

This year for our birthday, (for those of you who don't know, Andy and I have the same birthday,) we decided that we would take a trip out East and visit some friends in New York and visit my brother in New Jersey. We flew out Wednesday, late, then early Thursday morning we borrowed Brice's car and drove up to the city. Our friends were so gracious to let us stay at their place in the city for the night and then we drove back to Eric's on Friday. We had a super fun time just being in the city and especially seeing our friends! I also always enjoy catching up with Eric and Brice, and just chillin with them!

In NYC, we decided to park near our old apartment and actually found a good parking spot near Central Park on 88th St. Then we decided we would take off and get some lunch at Dean's. Deans Pizza is amazing!! YUMMY!! After lunch at Deans, Andy and I separated, then he called me and told me that he got a hold of the family that I used to nanny for would love to see us, but we had to leave RIGHT then.


Those kids are SOOO big, and adorable!! We had a great time playing and talking to all of them. Andy went out on the balcony and took a pic of the city!! The view is amazing from their apartment After seeing Cecile and the kids, we ran off to meet up with our friends!! Tyson and Amanda ordered Chinese for dinner and we had A TON of fun!! Thanks Tyson and Amanda for hanging out with us and letting us stay. We found out that they are expecting another baby, (congrats!!) and Owen, (the 2 year old) was SUPER cute the whole time!! In the morning we walked Amanda and Owen to the subway on their way to work and then headed off to Times Square.

After returning back to Eric's house we had a great weekend with fabulous food, wonderful company and a lot of Rock Band!! Andy loved the Rock Band drums so much that Eric decided to get Andy a set of his own for his birthday. He also shipped me a microphone to go with it.

Eric's room mate, Brice, has a birthday on October 3rd, so we went out and celebrated his birthday at McCormick and Schmick's then celebrated ours at Flemings. The food was fabulous at both, and we all had a really great time. Thanks Eric for everything!!


When we arrived in Phoenix our friends, Tommy and Alisha, came to the airport to pick us up and gave us a movie on BluRay, then when we got home, we found that they had also cleaned our house and decorated it for our birthday, and had a cake ready for us!! It was SO awesome!! Thanks guys, you are amazing!!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR MAKING OUR BIRTHDAYS AMAZING!!
