Frank Sinatra "New York, New York"

This past weekend we made a boys trek to New York. The whole point of the trip was our visit to Yankee Stadium, which I will cover in a different post. We did all the tourist stuff, Rockefeller Center, Empire State Building, 5th Avenue, Ground Zero, St. Patrick's Cathedral, Chinatown and Lady Liberty. We stayed at the Marriott Marquis in Times Square and had some great food! It was an awesome trip.

In front of 30 Rockefeller Center, home of great comedic minds.

Little Things Learned

Now that I have lived on my own for about a week now, I think I need to give a shout out to my parents. These are things that I learned from, but didn't realize how grateful I am to know these things until I have had to do them all by myself:
-Learning that even though it is a dishwasher you have to clean the dish before you put it in if you want it to come out clean
-clean up after the dog, then use lysol, don't forget the lysol
-Make your bed first thing in the morning, it helps your day go a little smoother (I don't understand why that is, but my mom always told me that, and its true) Moms are always right
-When doing the wash reds and blacks go together, whites are separate from everything... and don't put any of my clothes in the dryer... this is the way to do laundry people!
-Crock pot dinners... need I say more... they are delicious and easy
-See people as people and not as objects that clutter your world (my dad taught me this one)
-Service is happiness, my mom taught me this through her example
-Tiger Woods is the best... just ask my dad
-Brush your teeth morning and night... hahaha I finally understand why! JK JK, I have always brushed my teeth morning and night
-If it doesn't taste good put ketchup on it (this one I learned from my mom when she was trying to get Landon to eat something new)
-Look at grocery store adds to find the best sales... even if it takes a long time, cuz it ends up being worth it
-Smile, its contagious

And the list goes on and on, but these are just a few that have stood out! Things are good with us, Dixon gets workspace in his office soon, and I'm supposed to be hearing back about a few jobs in the next few days. I think we are going to try yoga tomorrow and I'm sure that will definately need to be blogged about.
