The Past Little While...

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)!

I saw the frowny face next to finishing your last independent study class and I didn't understand.. then I re-saw that it's under "still to come" and I was sad for you.

But yay for Pan's birthday! All attendees are required to bring him a present of some kind, just so you know.

I'm sad about your GPS. I didn't hear that had happened.
