Finally home!

we got back yesterday from Maryland. All our travels are done now. We had a great time everywhere we went.However, we are all totally exhausted & glad to be back home.
Now I start school on Thursday.

I will have pictures up as soon as i get them uploaded to the computer.

A big thanks to everyone who let us stay at their house!

Chicago, Kansas, Maryland!!!!

Jake & I have been wanting to go to Kansas for a very long time, especially me, since I haven't seen my family in 12 years. Well we finally decided to go! We figured we should go now while we have the money & the opportunity. We are leaving on August 15th to go to Chicago for a day to see my Aunt Cathy & her family, I'm very excited!!!! It's going to take about 15 hours to get there. & then we leave the next day for Kansas, which is about another 15 hours. We're leaving Kansas on the 27th, & arriving back to New York on the 28th. & on the 30th we leave for Maryland, & return on September 2nd. We're going to be VERY busy, but I'm SO excited. In Kansas I hope to spend lots of time just spending time with the family & getting to know everyone again. I also hope to go school shopping with my cousin Jessica. When I go back to school no one will have the same clothes as me!
Anyway, I'm counting down the days,

16 days till Chicago,
18 days till Kansas
31 days till Maryland.



I'M SO EXCITED!!!!!

Happy Birthday Anthony Daniel!

I'm a little late but Anthony had his first birthday on Monday! His first party was on Sunday & it went pretty well. We had my family there & a few close friends. He got SO many gifts! My English teacher also stopped by to drop off a gift & say hello, but he couldn't stay more then 5 minutes. I was really glad he came though! On Anthony's actual birthday we took him to a park & then out to Denny's for his first real meal, he had macaroni & cheese & mashed potatoes. He loved them!!! We are also having 2 more birthday parties this weekend for Jake's family. By then I think I'll be all partied out till next year! I also have NO idea what we're going to do with all the presents! he got so many just from me & Jake & his first party. Anthony loved the cake so much he cried when I said no more. He ate an entire cupcake & still wanted more!
