We finally made it to New York this weekend. We only live about three and a half hours from NY, and have been wanting to go visit Celeste and Tage (Troy's sister and brother-in-law), and play in the city. We took off after work on Saturday, and had a fun day going to church in Harlem, brunch at Norma's, shopping, an evening walk in Central Park, and dinner with Celeste and Tage. We always have such a fun time with them. I was proud of Troy's driving in the city. We usually take the subway around the city because it is easier, but this time, we drove most places. Although I had to close my eyes for a lot of the time, Troy handles the New Yorkers pretty well. It was a short trip, but we were glad to be able to make it up there before the summer ended. Here are a few pictures of the Central Park Gardens that we took. Enjoy!

I can't believe two years has already gone by since we have been married. It truly has been the best time of my life. We celebrated our anniversary yesterday by going to dinner (Ruth's Chris) of course, a favorite. Followed by a couples massage. We both agreed that it was the best massage we have ever had, even though we were both near tears for 90% of the massage. I just want to say that I married the sweetest, most considerate, hansom, hilarious, and fun man in this world. He truly is the man of my dreams...I might be slightly bias.


The one picture that we took last night after all of our celebrating. We both were a little beat after our massages.

This is Troy writing. It is my first "post". Yep, i'm posten' up. I figured i'd find an image that displays my feelings. I am beat, I feel like i am a running in sand. Three summers of knocking doors = 3 full year honorable chinese torture. Provo sounds like a place where the beer flows like wine. I have 15 days to sell 23 more alarm systems. Thats 1.667 sales a day, 9 sales a week, trust me i've calculated it 100 times. I am happy with the summer, I hope to end up the 170 gross with 150 funded. If any of you want an alarm, ill give you one for free*.

And now for Troy's top ten most exciting things to do when summer ends list:

10. Cafe Rio in Provo - lets just say i'm going to drop some burritos to their knees! Bring on the metamucil!
9. Eat dinner at 5:00 PM.
8. Do absolutely nothing from 2-9 pm. including x-box, and x-box
7. Sleep in on a saturday morning.
6. Go camping and vacationing. For more than 1 day.
5. Not talk about alarm systems 99.9% of the time i'm conscious.
4. I think we might just take the plunge and buy a plasma tv and welcome the bu bu bu buuuum, NFL.
3. Cruise in November, Cruise in November! I'm working on my beach body, last day in gym...4/13/08.
2. Swim in - Parents pool, Pacific Ocean, and my own bathwater.

Right now, I am very excited for these two things. Do I feel a little embarrassed to admit it? YES! But I must say these two things have me feeling very happy right now for a little teenage romance. Love it!
