Life in pictures

Sometimes life does get to busy to take the time to write about it - no matter how much fun you're having. I'm not complaining, I know I'm blessed. Right now my day consist of working 8-5, stopping by the hotel and then going to the gym, around 8:30 I shower, return emails, work some more, 10ish - catch up onlife, laundry, etc. and go to bed around midnight. The weekends are spent travelling home, so it doesn't leave a lot of free time. 


To catch up on blogging, here's a glimpse of life in pictures...

We had a absolute blast in NYC!!

Nashville Star

   Last weekend Keith and I flew to Nashville unexpectedly for a funeral. Nashville had never been on my radar as a place I wanted to visit, but we thought we would take the opportunity to explore the city for a day before the funeral. We were looking for something fun and not overly "touristy" to do. I had no interest in the Country Music Hall of fame and I'm pretty sure I would have had to drag Keith in kicking and screaming. We spent the day wandering around the city, and lucked up with amazing tickets to see Keith Urban at the Grand Ole Opry on Friday night. We skipped the 1st hour of the show because we didn't know the performers and thought we might hate it...
Delightful!
     Surprisingly, Keith enjoyed the concert so much that he bought front row tickets for us to go back the very next night to see Brad Paisley & Luke Bryan! He brought his cousins Philip & Abby along too. Abby & I had an awesome time, she touched Luke Bryan 3 times and was so excited about it. We took so many videos and pictures with our regular camera, but all you get is the crappy iPhone pictures :p
You can't see that Luke Bryan is behind us b/c of the lights :(

Love me some Brad Paisley...

Keith & I before the Opry

     We didn't get in from the concert until very late, somehow we managed to get a flat tire on the way home... The next morning we had to get up early to get ready for Keith's uncles funeral. His uncle was only 59 and passed away of stomach cancer (it's actually his second cousin, but he was more like an uncle) Funerals are always so terribly sad...a few words that the pastor said really stuck with me. He said that Keith's uncle had an infectious enthusiasm for life and that people were drawn to him because of it. Keith is exactly the same way! Of course, we were reminded to never take one second of life for granted. After leaving the funeral we headed directly back to the airport, but I did make Keith slow down to snap a picture of the beautiful Dogwood trees that were in bloom everywhere!
Beeeeeeeeeaaauuutttiiifffuuullllll
   And of course, you need a goodbye kiss picture....
smooch!
   We got exciting news today that we are soon getting a nephew from my baby brother. We have been waiting for weeks to find out what they are having. 


   Tomorrow is the day we have been waiting for... NEW YORK! Keith booked an amazing room with a terrace and I COULD. NOT. BE. MORE. EXCITED! I'll be boring you with those pictures very soon!

Mystic Pizza



Baby,  it's cold outside!
    It started with a few tiny snowflakes... It may be hard to tell in the picture above, but the snow was just starting to fall. Keith and I had been waiting for this moment since the day we arrived in Connecticut. We had already warned our co-workers that if it started snowing we would be making frequent trips outside. True to our word when we looked out the window and saw snow we immediately went outside. At first I was worried that the snow wouldn't stick, but it eventually started to. We went back to work and peeked out every so often to check on the progress. As soon as I saw that there was a layer of white on the ground we bundled up and headed out again.

White jacket...White snow :)

    At this point it really started to snow, and we were so happy! People in the hospital thought we were nuts... I was acting like a kid on Christmas and Keith was thrilled. After a few minutes of this there was enough snow to make a baby snowman.



    Then I got hungry....





NOM NOM NOM
    And then we kissed!

SMOOCH!
    We left work and went to Target where we found sleds for $2. We found the nearest hill and acted like kids in elementary school. We sledded and made snow angels and froze because we didn't have proper snow attire. It was so so so soooooooo much fun.

   For the weekend, we were supposed to go to NYC. We found out that it was going to be nasty weather and we decided to postpone that trip and go somewhere closer instead. There really isn't a lot to do in CT so we picked a town on the coast and headed that way. We wound up in Mystic, CT which is actually and adorable town. There was a cute area with shops that reminded me of Center St. back home. We managed to find plenty of souvenirs for Lauren :)

In downtown Mystic...
    If you look closely you can see the tiny signs above out heads, this was in the downtown area. We had lunch at Mystic Pizza, which is actually the same Mystic Pizza that the movie was filmed at. I didn't even know there was such a movie, but I now intend to watch it. (It has to be good, right? Julie Roberts is in it...) The pizza was absou-freakin'=loutely delicious.

Delish!
     This weekend we are hoping to go to NYC if the weather is decent. I can't wait to spend some time in Central Park. Keith is really excited about getting a hotdog from a street vendor...


    That's all for now!
~xoxo, Brittany
