I like your thoughts

This weekend the girls went to Connecticut to stay with my family at Lone Oak Campsites. The Excitement has been building for quite a while, and thankfully my parents showed us a great time. We started off our journey with Pumpkin Iced Coffees from Dunkin Donuts... and continued to eat our way through Connecticut from that point on.

When we arrived my parents had some Thanksgiving dinner turkey and stuffing ready for us, showed us our cabin, and took us up to the lounge. We did some dancing, joined a conga line, and Bridget and Carson got to meet my Aunt Beth.
"I love Connecticut," "I loveee Montana"

Saturday night continued to be interesting... Carson showed us a magic trick, Bridget told us just how much she loves taking out her contacts, we played LRC, started planning a wedding and ate some more.
We stared in awe at the moon
We made up hand symbols, so we can communicate with each other without other people knowing.

We competed on who could make the creepiest faces, and I won hands down.
Then Carson and I turned into woofs....

Day 2 started bright and early with nearly two dozen eggs, and a hike to the top of a mountain.
The climb up wasn't so bad, but the way down was a little steep.

Carson climbed everything we found... trees, vines... fences.

Then Bridget and I being so impressionable, caught the climbing bug and climbed a tree with him.

After climbing a mountain, we were of course hungry. So as we continued eating our way through Connecticut we went to a market and bought some little treats, and then went to a little grille like place where Carson thought it would be a good idea to order more eggs. So the egg count continued.

Then we drove around in the golf cart, and finished off the night with a feast provided by my dad. We had an array of delicious fish, and vegetables.. and spent the night around the campfire chatting about grand larceny, telling jokes, and playing some strange games thanks to Bridget :)

The night ended with banana boats (which are as amazing as they sound) and Carson doing his magic trick for probably the 50th time and Bridget and I still being in awe.


Can anyone guess what Day 3 began with..... yes, of course, more eggs. We ate our eggs as we headed to Massachusetts for The Big E (The Northeastern States Exposition). The Big E was great... their were elephants, fried pickles, cheeseburgers on krispy kreme donuts, and DENIM.



Bridget chose the Puppy, and Carson chose the kittens... but I already have mine waiting safely at home in my closet full of denim.

All in all it was a weekend full of fun, laughter, and eggs.

This post is to collect all of our impromptu laughing photos

Have you ever seen such happy people?

We've found our Friday night spot

The 2010-2011 AC spot is officially going to be O'briens, it is filled with creepy old men but for some reason we love it there. We are known to the bartender as "the polite people," and she appreciates our politeness, she even curtsied to us. There are perks of going to a creepy old man bar... last night we got delicious cake for free because it was someones retirement party. It's also a plus that O'briens is so close to 643, because when we venture any further away it gets too late for some people and then Karthik and Carson end up sleeping the whole way home. Oh, and we got free snacks by stealing olives and cherries out of the drink garnish box.

Now we are off to Connecticut for the weekend, hopefully it will live up to everyones excitement. Oh, and mom since I know you are reading this.... Carson has expressed everyday for the last week how excited he is to meet "Deb and Dave," so make sure you give him a big hug and kiss hello (just to make up for the fact that when Grandma tried to hug and kiss him hello he ran out the front door because it made him uncomfortable).


This photo has no relevance, I just think it's too funny....

That's Messed Up!!!

I'd like to think I'm a fairly organized person, but as the photo illustrates things have gotten out of control!!!  REALLY OUT OF CONTROL and it isn't my fault!  I left the office last night with a tidy desk.  This morning I walked in and it looked like Hurricane Earl swung back by to check my email.  I had papers every where, airplane shots scattered here and there, even spray foam cans to top it all off.

I was so confused. Well, I was confused until after the initial shock when I look up and saw the sly grin on my boss Cindy's face!  Apparently Cindy wanted to help me gain a little respect around the office and to help me fit in Bridget and her decorated my desk to make it look like I actually did something at work.  However, they may be just telling me all this to help ease my embarrassment.  This picture suggests that I came in belligerent, throwing papers and spray foam cans, and ended up passing out on my desk.  Honestly I don't remember doing that, but i suppose if I was inebriated I wouldn't remember ;) -- You make the call!

Typical

I thought it was important to share this photo, because typically this is how you can find us. Carson being creepy, and Bridget and I laughing uncontrollably. If you don't find us somewhere laughing about something stupid, you can find us sitting in Bridget's "new" car at stop lights while they turn green and then back to red over and over and we don't move because Bridget is only just learning how to drive stick.


Here is some of our happy Habitat Family

Life at 643

We've quickly been crossing things off our bucket list, but the unplanned has definitely brought more laughs

Here we are on our first friday night, creating our bucket blog:






Then we cooked an expensive (but delicious) piece of Salmon... we had to google it to figure it out...


Carson found it entertaining that we eat popcorn with spoons while wearing all black and keeping our shirts over our heads





Carson put on a Habitat Fashion Show for us:












Bridget learned how to drive a stick.. kind of..



Then we went on a girl date to Friendly's... just the girls... Me, Bridget, and Carson

Life Insurance

Basement- living room, one bedroom, kitchen, one bathroom, weird unknown utility room that opens to a doorway behind the frig. Weird dark utility room had an unknown purpose until this afternoon when we discovered that this room holds the sewer line and pumps it up to ground level and out of the house. Our wonderful black water pump got tired and stopped pumping. So we had a totally evac of the basement, and now the four of us are going on a field trip to Friendley's for sundaes. Not chocolate sundaes, too close for comfort

Labor-less Weekend

Smith Point - Remnants of Hurricane Earl

This past Labor Day Weekend, regardless of its intensity, was anything but laborious.  The four of us at 643 Habitat started off the three day weekend by catching the remains of Earl Friday night at Smith Point.  This was the first night we had all really spent some quality time together and I realized quick that this year will be full of laughs and tears (tears from laughing so hard)!  Not knowing the three house-mates I'd be living with was my biggest concern moving across the States, but thank God I have nothing to worry about.

Saturday we found a gym that is close and at an AmeriCorp price - $10/month!  In the evening Bridget, Lindsey, Beth and I went over to Bridget's family's place in Huntington to cook, drink wine and have Beth tell us all who we will eventually marry...I guess out there some where there is a lucky "Rosemary Jean" just for me!  Rosemary Jean Schultz? blah!

Sunday we caught an early train into the City to see a Yankees game!  Although they didn't win against Toronto, it was a blast!

We were seated high up in the 400 level most of the game, but towards the end we were able to scoot down to the 200s right by home plate!

After the game we stopped by Central Park!  It was Lindsey's first visit there and it was a beautiful day for it!

On Sunday Bridget, Juilio (a past Habitat volunteer) and I went to Robert Moses beach to absorb the sun and just relax!  It was an awesome weekend with some of the best people!
