Crafting
Alright my goal is to keep up with this better seeing as I have been MIA for the last 9 months.
So for Easter we went back and bought hops! This time I did it all on my own! I love it!
Then my best friend Carrie and I fell in love with these cute cubes we found on a vinyl website that we buy stuff from. So we decided to make one for each holiday and have craft night once a month together. Our first one is Easter and I think they turned out adorable!!! It is such a fun thing to have sitting on my coffee table too! Both pictures are of the same cube I just flipped it so you could see the other sides of it.
The last 9 months I have spent a lot of time decorating my house. I love it and that may very well be my favorite part of having my own house (sad I know). My newest hobby though is making crafts for my house. My favorite thing to decorate each month is my mantle and I've had fun picking out big wooden letters to spell out a word for each holiday and candles to go on the sides. The words get rather expensive, so recently while my mom and I were trying to find a luck that I liked (I was being my normal picky self and not liking anything) we decided to make our own and forget the $40 a shot. We bought the letters for luck for March and my mom painted it for me. It's adorable and turned out like 100 times cuter than the one at the store anyways and for less than half the price.

Philly...I know about time right!
Day 4
We woke up in New Jersey that morning and headed off for Philly for the day! We drove through Connecticut and then finally ended up in Philly. Philly was icy cold but pretty cool to see. We went to the museum where Rocky did his triumphant run up the stairs with that famous music playing. Then we walked down the street and saw several fountains. We stopped for hot chocolate at TGIF's. Worst service ever and there was only 1 other table of people in the whole restaurant ...I can't believe how non existent customer service is in the East. Our server ignored us most of the time and when we asked for the check he actually said that he would bring it when he got around to it...and he definitely didn't do it before then either it took like 15 minutes. Then we went to Pen's Landing and saw the bridge and then headed back to New Jersey because we had to get back to Boston that night. On our way we stopped for dinner in an Indian town. Everything in this town was Indian. The clothing stores sold Indian style clothing, the grocery stores sold Indian food, the restaurants were authentic Indian food, and everybody in the town (besides me) was Indian. I have never felt that out of place in my life it was crazy. Anyways they treated me to authentic Indian food that night. I have to say it wasn't my favorite but it was better then I expected. Most of it is very spicy which isn't my favorite thing anyways. Then we were off to Boston. It took us several hours and we didn't get back to Boston til about 12 or 1 in the morning. We crashed for about 2 hours because we had to leave at 4:30 that morning for the airport because my flight left at 6.
Day 5
I was running on seriously 1 maybe 2 hours of sleep. I caught a flight from Boston to New York and then flew from New York home. The flight from Boston was really cool. There were only about 15 people on the whole plane so I had an entire row to myself. I scooted over to the window and watched as we flew over New York and got to watch the sunrise for the most part from the plane. When we landed in New York we didn't pull up to the terminal. They lowered the stairs and we climbed down and then caught a shuttle to the terminal which was kind of fun seeing as that never happens. The flight home from New York I tried to get some sleep but between the crying baby in front of me and the old guy who kept pulling my hair and kicking me behind me I slept very very little. When I got home I was so excited to be home and to see my mountains. My sister in law and nieces picked me up which made it even funner.
Here are some pics from Philly

Posing like Rocky!

Boston Trip - Part 2
Alright so it only took me 3 weeks to get back to this...but here goes....
Day 3
We got up and headed off for New York on Monday morning. We being Saharsh, his roommate Hemant, and of course me! We went through Connecticut on our way and stopped to getting some breakfast....we tried finding a Denny's but the gps led us to a little old house so we gave up and settled for Burger King for breakfast.
New York was amazing...I can't even put it into words I was awestruck at how big and busy it was. We drove through New York and to New Jersey to pick up their friend Pradeep from his apartment. He was our official tour guide of the city.
First off we rode the subway from New Jersey to New York. The subway was kind of interesting seeing as you see it in all the movies. I am not a huge fan of it...it was musty and humid down there...it may have been cause it was a rainy day I don't know. The subway let us off at the World Trade Center so we got to see them working on building the new one. It was raining so we broke out our umbrellas and took off. Our first stop was Wall Street, the New York Stock Exchange, and the bull.
Our next stop was out to look across at the Statue of Liberty. With the rain and only one day to see the whole city we didn't go across to the island to see it though. By this time we were completely soaked so we stopped at a restaurant on the pier and ate lunch. Then we were off for more fun.
Then we went to Rockefeller center which is NBC headquarters. We were able to explore that and then Saharash and I went to the top of the Rock to see the view of the city. We were on top of a 70 story building which was pretty cool. We didn't get to see as much as we could have because of the fog but it was still worth the money to go see the view. We also timed it perfect we got up their just before sunset. So we got to see the city in the daylight (well as much daylight as you can get on a rainy day) and then watch as the city started lighting up.
We spent quite a while up there and then headed off to Times Square to meet up with Pradeep and Hemant again. We went to Hard Rock Cafe for a break and to grab drinks and of course to explore it. We went and explored Times Square and of course I made them stop so I could do some souvenir shopping. By this time we were pretty much exhausted so we headed off to catch the subway back to New Jersey.
We spent the night at Pradeeps apartment. It was pretty cool he gave up his bed for me so I got to fall asleep looking out the window at the view of the city...I thought it was a pretty cool view to fall asleep too seeing as I'm used to my view of the mountains.
I have 5 million pictures from New York...so I narrowed it down to my favorites and still had a ton...so I put them in a slideshow instead so here it is....

Boston Trip - Part 1
Alright I haven't posted in FOREVER!!!! During that time I went to Boston and New York for a few days for Spring Break and to see my friend Saharsh. So here is the blog from that seeing as I keep putting it off and it's only been over a month now since I got back.
Day 1 - April 4
I caught my plane and spent most the day in the air. I left Salt Lake at 9:30 in the morning and landed in Boston at 4:30. I was a little nervous about flying and especially by myself because it had been 9 years ago to the month since I had flown. However I got on the flight just fine and sat by a cute old couple from Boston who told me things to do and see in Boston and the cute old guy reassured me every time we hit turbulence that we would be fine. Saharsh and his roommate Hemant picked me up at the airport in Boston and off we went for our adventure. We went back to their place in Ashland about a half hour from Boston. Then we got ready and went out for dinner at a little Mexican food place kind of like Cafe Rio. Then we went Salsa dancing with one of their friends Rupal. I was not looking forward to it but ended up having a total blast...who knew Salsa dancing was so fun it was a pretty good work out too! After dancing we went out to eat...I was totally amazed that restraunts were still open at 3 in the morning and that there were people everywhere...the city was still as awake as ever. We got home super late that night it was like 4.
The four of us! Dancing with Hemant
Dancing with Saharsh
Day 2
We slept in the next mornign after our super late night the night before. Saharsh and I went drove into Boston and took the duck tours around the city. The duck tours apparently are pretty famous and popular in Boston. They are some kind of vehicle that drives you all over town showing you all the sights and then drives right into the river and becomes a boat and you get to see all the sights from the river. It was a pretty cool way to see all the sights in Boston. I didn't get many pictures because for some reason my camera's battery decided not to last long. Afterwards we went and ate lunch at the Cheers restraunt and then went and got ice cream at J.P. Licks...it was the best ice cream I've ever had. It's a lot like Cold Stone and I got Oreo Cake Batter...it was to die for! Then we went and wandered around Harvard and then met up with a bunch of his friends for dinner. It was a fun filled busy day and I was exhausted by the time we got home that night. I didn't realize this would be a normal thing for this trip and by the time we got home each night I'd barely be able to hold my eyes open.
