Well, as usual, there has been a lot of things happening in our little Peterson family since the last time we posted. Here are some highlights--and lowlights--from our NYC summer thus far (in no particular order)...
- A trip to Washington D.C. to check out our future hometown, find a suitable (and cheap) residence and visit our friend Beef
- Weekly Sunday dinners with the Lincolns in Hoboken, NJ... mixed in with Rock Band sessions (Richard on the guitar and Emily on the drums), playing with our nephews and $8 trips through the Lincoln tunnel
- Watching the Yankees play Seattle and win 13-0 (so the Lincolns don't get mad at us, we were thinking "Boo Yankees!" the whole time)
- Going to the top of the Empire State Building with Emily's internship group
- Attending several Broadway plays including Stomp, Wicked, Chicago, Legally Blonde (and seriously disliking the actor who plays Emmett)
- Watching BYU Chamber perform at Carnegie Hall
- Emily finishing her Honors Thesis and successfully defending her honor
- Hiking in Bushkill Falls with Carma and Jenny (and respective families)
- Having an awesome day at Six Flags in New Jersey with the Lincolns and Kristen
- Booing off bad performers at Amateur Night at the Apollo (they told us to...)
- Dealing with the aftermath of our car being broken into and our GPS being stolen (VIP Elphie II)
Still to come...
- ANOTHER trip to Washington D.C. for Pan's birthday party
- A 4th of July trip to Boston!
- Going to a July 26 Mets game with the Lincolns (so they forgive us for going to a Yankees game)
- A trip to Canada with the Lincolns and Emily's parents
- Emily and Thurman's Week of Fun (after Emily finishes work and when Thurman is between summer camps)
- A weekend of showing Beef around NYC
- Continued job searching (if you know of any PR jobs in the Washington area, let us know!)
- Finishing my last independent study class... Business Finance :(
- More plays including The Little Mermaid, Hairspray and Wicked (yes, again.. you can't see Wicked too many times).
- Moving our stuff to our new home in Washington D.C.
Will post pictures later (hopefully)!
