1 Wonderful Year later....

Well, I think we have all found out that I am horrible at updating this. I could say I will try harder to update, but we all know by now that is not true. Oh well. I tried to upload pictures of New York onto Facebook but my work computer will not let me, our home PC is busted and don't even get me started on Dan's MAC. I am useless on that thing!
Anyway, as many of you know already, Dan surprised me with a trip to NYC for our 1st anniversary (he has A LOT to live up to now! ha!) He told me Friday night (via a word search that I stunk at!) what we were doing. I was sooooo excited! We went and did site seeing stuff and then went to our favorite restaurant The Capital Grille and went and saw Avenue Q on Broadway. Avenue Q is like an adult version of Sesame Street. Very Funny!! We had such a great time and it was the perfect way to celebrate our 1st year as husband and wife!
A lot has happened since I last posted. We had a great Thanksgiving and Christmas! My dad and my Aunt Gina came to town for Thanksgiving and we had such a good time. Yummy food, fun games, it was really a good time!
We had a good Christmas but since I didn't have anymore vacation time, we stayed in Atlanta. Dan and I decided to put a $25 limit on gifts for Christmas and we both ended up getting each other the adult footy pajamas from Target... yeah, I guess we have a very similar sense of humor!
Mom, Harry and Charlie came to visit at the end of February and we had such a great time! One night ended up with us putting on a "show" for our peeping tom neighbors! It was a blast! Mom called a few weeks after they left and said they had talked and decided that when the boys are done with school in March 2010, they are all going to move to Atlanta! Dan and I are SOOOO ridiculously excited! Mom and Dad Murray have a house here and will be moving down shortly and then my mom and brothers will come down! Dan and I have such great families it will be great to have them close by! Now we just have to get Mom and Dad Pepper and my Dad here (don't worry, we are already working on it!)!
Other than that we have been busy with home stuff. Dan has been vigorously working on our yard and it is looking great! It was very overgrown when we moved in, stuff grows like crazy here. Our "kids" are doing great. Brenner is 50lbs now! He still jumps, but he understands the command to stop doing it, so hopefully it will come together in his head soon and he just wont jump period. He "graduated" from beginner obedience training and even had the fastest "down" in class! haha. Jenkins and Bella are as cute as ever, not big fans of Brenner though. We are hoping that will change when Brenner is a little older and less puppy!
Well here are pics of NYC. I don't know why my work computer will let me upload stuff onto Blogger but not onto Facebook. Weird.
We stayed at the Waldorf=Astoria in Manhattan. It was amazing! Such a beautiful, ornate hotel. We definitely looked like we didn't belong, but had a blast with it! haha

Dunananananana Batman! This guy was just dancing and being funny.

Being all Sex and the City and wearing my heels in Manhattan on the way to dinner

NY Library where Carrie and Big were supposed to get married. I am hoping when Ryan and I go for our girls trip in September they will be done working on it. This picture isn't very good b/c of the construction.

Ground Zero. They have started building again.

Ladder 10 Co. Right across from Ground Zero. They lost 5 men.

Eternal Flame for those that lost their life 9/11/01
