New York, New York

Last Thursday through Sunday Michael and I were in New York City.
It was my second time there and we got to do and see alot of cool stuff. Michael had an ortho convention at the Grand Hyatt which was a super nice and convenient place-Grand Central Terminal. The first night we went all out and got tickets to our first Broadway show- Wicked. It was awesome. We had great seats and the play and music was beautiful.
The next morning I stood in line to see Regis and Kelly but didn't get in. I did get to see Regis and say 'Hi' though! Then I went to the Today Show and watched them film and while standing there I met a really nice couple from Louisiana that gave
me their extra tickets to watch Conan O'Brien show. Then, I met Lester from the Today's Show! After that, Missy and I did alot of shopping and saw the Rockefeller Christmas tree get set into place. They will decorate and then light it on Dec 4th.
The next day while Michael and Will in classes Missy and I went to the Bodies exhibit and shopped some more, then we all went to Carnegie Deli and were full for the rest of the day.
We did so much walking and eating and I loved watching the THRONGS of people. We saw the Lord and Taylor christmas windows and the lights of Times Square. My feet have never been
so tired that early in the day! But there was sooo
much to do I couldn't sit still for long.
On Sunday, Michael and I went to the American Museum of Natural History and saw many amazing artifacts. We had such a great time, there are still so many things I want to see and do there...I guess we will have to plan another trip....

Busy Busy...

Thursday, before I went to do some holiday shopping at the Shoppes' in Riverview Open House, I went by Michael's new office and snapped some pictures. One from the parking lot, one from the front door and one from the front of the patient treatment bay.
They are still tidying and decorating and organizing but it looks great. Michael has been VERY busy trying to get everything perfect and I think the place looks AMAZING!
Friday, we had a great time with some friends and today I got my hair cut and went to a babyshower while Michael ordered our blinds -that has been a long ordeal but I am so happy that we will soon have beautiful blinds!

Going through changes

So, I decided to start a blog after reading some of my friends that have one.

Many things are changing in my life that I felt now would be a great time to capture them so we can look back and see what we've accomplished.





To catch you up, I am a dental hygienist in the Chattanooga area and I recently got engaged to my boyfriend of 3 and 1/2 yrs! We also closed on a house Oct 17th (ten days after he proposed) and today is the first full day at his brand new office in Ooltewah---shout out to Aspire Orthodontics!! Michael is an orthodontist and we met while in school in Memphis. He is my best friend and I am so glad at the end of the day to go to our home.

Fall has been such a fun time and it has really flown by.
We travelled up to Knoxville to watch the Vols get beat by the Gators, we visited Auburn and watched UT lose there. We took our fall break to Cancun (where we got engaged) and watched the economy plummet in spanish(just kidding- they had Headline News:). We moved into our new house and cleaned up our old apartments. We carved pumpkins and handed out candy to lots of trick or treaters. We watched Phil get fired and Obama get elected.

There is so much going on! I am excited to start this chapter in my life and look forward to recording it all here.

I'll keep you posted on what's next!
