Boston and Salem

A couple of weekends ago we took a little trip with some of our friends. We started out our trip to Boston. We then walked the Freedom Trail throughout Boston. It was so much fun and quite tiring. I was amazed with Lindsey due to the fact that she made the walk 8 months pregnant.









After Boston we headed to Salem. It was quite crazy there since it was the weekend before Halloween.





The next day we went up to Harvard and then to the Boston Temple. It was so pretty becuase of all the fall leaves.

Wii Fit

Last night as Ben and I were on our way home Ben wanted to stop by Best Buy to see if they had any Wii Fits. I personally didn't want to because every time we have checked they have not had them and we know they get their shipments on Sunday mornings and they never last till Monday. Needless to say I was positive they would not have any left on a Friday night. So I sat in the car while Ben went in to see if they had any. He was taking a long time so I called him and he told me they had one left. We were so excited. We came home and started playing and we love it.

NYC with Erin

So Erin and her roommate Lisa came to NYC for the weekend so I went in for the day to hang out with them. It was so much fun. We walked across the Brooklyn Bridge, went shopping on Canal Street, and ate at Mama Mexico. I would post lots of pics but Erin and Lisa took most of them so I am waiting for them to send them. But here are a few:




I will post more when I get them!!

Maybe It's Just Not Meant To Be

So Ben and I (well maybe actually just me) have wanted to see Mama Mia since it has been out but we just have not made it. Then we thought it had left the theaters but Ben found it in a theater about 15 minutes away. So last night Ben and I decided to go. We thought we knew where the theater was but unfortunately we were wrong. We ended up going to the opposite direction. Once we realized it we turned around and we finally got there 15 minutes late. We did not mind that too much since all we would miss was previews anyway. We went to the box office to get our tickets and we find out they only take cash. Too bad we didn't have any cash on us and the nearest ATM was a couple blocks away. Needless to say we turned around and came back home.
Then tonight we thought we would try again. We decided we would give ourselves plenty of time so we would not be late. But lets just say it did not work that way. Once we got on the freeway we noticed that there was tons of traffic. So we thought it would be better to take the back roads to the theater instead of sitting on the freeway. So after navigating through all the random towns we made it only 3 minutes late. We got to the box office to buy our tickets and they told us that last night was the last night they showed Mama Mia.
So we have come to the conclusion that maybe we are just not meant to see Mama Mia.

Weekend Vaca

So Ben's brother Matt and his wife Jenn came out for a vaca in NYC. They got here on Friday night and came to CT for the weekend. While they were here we went into the city (my first time since living out here), Hershey PN, and Gettysburg. We had so much fun.

I LOVED HAIRSPRAY!!!


We walked arount Central Park before eating at Mama Mexico, which I must say was so good. While we were there Ben had the Marachi(sp?) band play some song from his mission. He was quite excited about that.


We went on the Hershey tour of how they make chocolate and then bought a lot of chocolate.

Ben was quite intrigued by the cannon.


Little Round Top

The Trek to the East

So Ben and I have finally made it to Connecticut. CRAZY!!! We had to get little Gus Gus out here so we made the long drive. But I must say it was not too bad of a drive because we spread it over a week long period and I never drove once. We first started out our little vaca at Mt. Rushmore. Which I must say was cool but not really that cool. Then we went to Minnesota to see Kim and the girls. It was so much fun seeing them. Then we went to Nauvoo for 2 days. Another place I would say you have to go to. Then after that we went to Chicago and had Chicago pizza; which was quite good. Then I think we stopped in Ohio and then we got to Connecticut. So we had quite a few stops which was nice since it broke up the drive.

I will put some pics of our apt very soon. We are very close to being moved in. But I must say so far I really like this place.

Little Whitters Got Hitched

So this past weekend little Whitters got married!!! So CRAZY!! But it was so much fun because Kristi, Nattie, and Tia all came up for the event.
