Six Flags

A couple of weekends ago we got to go to Six Flags! It was my first time going and it was so much fun! 

 The super tall roller coaster behind us is the "Kinda Ka". Just a few facts: Its the worlds tallest roller coaster, it takes off at 128 mph in 3.5 seconds, and it reaches 456 feet high. Pretty intense!!

We bought these cups for $13 a piece, BUT you could get free refills all day!! We drank soooo much soda and powerade!!! Definitely got our money's worth!!

Bowling

A couple weekends ago Alex and I hung out with some of the sales guys. We went to Olive Garden and Bowling. Olive Garden was quite fun because these guys are, lets say, entertaining. haha by that I mean loud, and you either love em or you hate em. haha When we go out our waiters and waitresses usually like us because we end up being a fun table to serve, but sometimes its a little embarrassing! lol

Bree's Birthday

Bree turned 25 on June 18. Nic put together a surprise party on Friday (the 17th) and to distract her we took her to do laundry in the evening and got home around 9:30pm.  By the time we got back to the apartment Nic had set everything up and invited all the guys over for cake and ice cream. She was totally surprised and it was a lot of fun! One Saturday, her real birthday, Alex and I took her to get pedicures and ice cream. It was fun, relaxing, and well needed! Happy Birthday Bree!!

Church in Manhattan!

On Sunday June 12 we had the opportunity of going to a special young single adult 2 hour sacrament meeting in Manhattan. The church there is right above the temple, so we got to see that as well. Even though it was a young single adult meeting Bree and Nic came with us because Elder Cook and Elder Perry were there to speak. It was such a great experience to see them speak! After the meeting we met Bree's friends, Meg and JC, in time's square for lunch. After lunch we just walked around Time's Square for a while and headed home.

 After a great church meeting, this is what we get at times square. haha

 We might be a little obsessed with big gulps.

I guess it was a long, tiring day for Nic. lol

Fiesta!

On Saturday June 11 we got to go to dinner paid for by the company! We decided to go to this new mexican restaurant called Margarita's. It is soo delicious! After dinner we all went and saw Super 8 which I was not impressed with but it was still a good time.We had so much fun as you will see in the following photos...

 It was really cold so luckily we had these mini candles to warm us up! lol

And the fiesta begins...

Check!

I'm seriously soo behind on my blogging...

Back on June 15 (which I cannot believe was nearly two weeks ago!!! The time is flying by so fast out here!) Alex, Bree, and I went into the city for the day. First we went to Canal Street to damage our wallets a bit. I found some great things and I was thrilled! I got some Coach (poppy) perfume, shirts for Drew and Reese, a *darling* Prada (frada...haha) bag for my mom, and a few other things. Canal = success! :) 

Then we walked through Little Italy and saw some of the cute bakery's and shops they have. Little Italy is really cute. There were some people that were authentic (if that's the word, hah) Italians, so I'm sure the food was delicious. Although, we decided to wait and eat at a famous pizza shop. After seeing Little Italy we walked across the Brooklyn Bridge! There was a rally/protest going on for union labor rights or something like that, its hard to say exactly what it was all about. But, there were a TON of people walking the bridge for this rally thing. It was quite hilarious. After crossing the bridge we went to a famous pizza shop called Grimaldi's and ate in this super cute park. We then walked over the see the view of Manhattan from Brooklyn, and BOOM there's the Statue of Liberty! I have already seen the statue but it was definitely fun to see it again, especially since I wasn't really expecting it. Overall it was such a great day, and we got some great things checked off our list!! :) Can't complain!

The gorgeous view of Manhattan from Brooklyn. The nice thing about this is that Brooklyn is pretty quiet, so you get the cool view of the city without all the craziness

Thought we'd join in the rally, haha

Jersey Shore!

So since living here we have had the opportunity of going to the beach twice now. Jersey Shore has many beaches and we have gone to Pt. Pleasant beach both times. It is a nice beach that isn't too crowded and there is a boardwalk you can go to that is soo cute! The first time it was just Alex, Bree, and I that went. We laid out at the beach for a while and then it got kinda windy so we went down to the boardwalk and just walked around. You can ride rides, get fried candy bars, and much more on the boardwalk! Its so cute! The second time we went to the beach it was on a Sunday after sacrament meeting and many of the people from our office came with us. We actually got in the water the second time we went because it is starting to get warmer. I could swim in the ocean ALL day! No joke. I love it!

 Had to get ourselves a slurpee before heading to the beach!

 This sign was just on someone's house by the beach. We had to take a picture because we say this all the time! haha

 The picture doesn't do these houses justice. I'm not kidding, they are to die for!! I would love to have a house where you walk off your back porch straight onto the beach. oooooo the life

Don't ask what Jeremy, on the left, is doing...

The next thing we need to check off our list is to see the house where the "Jersey Shore" show is filmed. We hear that it has security guards surrounding it, and that people are always taking pictures by it. We'll have to go see for ourselves!
