Vermont

What do you think of when you hear about the state of Vermont? Trees? Hillbillies? Nothing worth seeing?... OK this is what I thought the first time I was going to Vermont with my dad. But once I got there I was in love with the state!

The new family that I nanny for has a second house up in Vermont. So when I found out that we would be spending part of the summer up there, I about peed my pants! We spent the month of July and part of August up at their Burlington house. The house is right on Lake Champlain! All of Lee's (the mom) family also has second houses up there. So it is a big family party everyday! Our days were filled with swimming at the point, dock, beach, boating, hikes, bike rides, crafts, dinner out side with everyone, cocktail hour, bomb fires and so much more! The only time we were in the house was to sleep! The kids had such a blast outside playing with cousins! It was also nice for me, cause I could sit under a tree and read and know that the kids were safe! Please don't get me wrong, people who live in Vermont are some of the most interesting people I have ever met or seen! I can't wait to spend next summer in Vermont!

The view I saw everyday!!

The New Yorker

The end of April first of May were really hard. I just found out that I no longer had a job, no money, no home, no nothing. I had been trying to find a new job before I would have to move back to Utah. It was so stressful to find a new job. 2 of my friends from the YSA knew I was having a difficult time and they wanted to do something from me. So they surprised me with a weekend in the City. They got a hotel room at the New Yorker on 8th ave! We went in the City Friday night had dinner at the hotel, then just played around in our hotel room. On Saturday they made appointments at a salon! We got a massage, Mani- pedi and a hair cut! It was so much fun to be in a nice salon in New York! The best part was I didn't have to pay anything! After the salon we headed down to Queens for a dance! It was such a good weekend for me to forget my worries and just be a kid! I am so grateful for the friends that I have made out in New Jersey!

BROTHERS and UTAH

I am soo excited, I can hardly wait for tomorrow! My 2 wonderful annoying brothers come to New Jersey to see me for a week! This will be the first time that I see anyone from my family in 7 months! I am excited to show them my life out here! BUT the best part of it all I get to come home with them! I will be in Utah for about 3 weeks! I can't wait to see my family and friends! So I better be seeing all of you!!

No Internet

So as some of you know I am living up in Vermont for the summer! and we don't have the Internet... so that means i can't blog. I just wanted people to know that I was not dead, and when I get back to New Jersey I will start up again!!

Yankees vs. Tampa Bay Rays

It was about time I went to a New York Yankees game! I bought cheap 30 dollar ticket and told Nichole we were going. The Yankees played against Tampa Bay Rays. It was amazing to be in the new stadium watching the team I love! It was also neat because it was Nichole's first MLB game.
After the game we were walking to the subway, and there were gates up and people waiting. So of course the stalker I am stopped and waited to see what what going on. We were able to see the players drive out! It was soo freakin cool so see the players up close and their beautiful cars! Derek Jeter was the last to come out. His window was rolled down, so I yelled " I love you Derek" and his reply was " I love you too". Pointed to me and winked. I know he didn't mean it, but who cares!! Its Derek Jeter! It was so fun! I just can't wait to go to the Yankees vs. Red Sox!!

** I will upload pics when I get back to New Jersey**

Harbor Boat Cruise

So I have never been a big fan of Young Single Adults. When I moved out here to New Jersey I knew I would have to attend YSA activities to meet friends. I was not excited at first, but now I love it! It is totally different from Utah. They do fun activities and the people are amazing! They plan the best activities for us.

Let me just name a few things that we have done...

- BBQ and games in Central Park

-Six Flags

- Swimming in the Hudson

-Touring Princeton

-Dances all over New York

...many more I am just having a brain freeze.

But for one of May's activities they rented out a boat and had a dinner/dance on the Hudson River. Oh my goodness it was so much fun! Just dancing with friends on a boat having the New York skyline as the background made the night great! One of my favorite parts of the night was, when I got hot from dancing and all of the people around me, I could walk to the front of the boat and just let the breeze take over and looking at New York with all of the lights. The sounds of the music and the water crashing onto the boat, it was amazing. I will never forget how awesome that was. After the cruise we got a limo and we just drove around Times Square! It was a great night!
