Long days

Hey everybody :)

So apparently I am really bad at blogging. I should do it more often. I'm just sooooooo busy. hahaha... well that's not it.

Lets see.... where do I start....

Oh I know... I BOOKED MY FLIGHT HOME :) I can't wait to be back in Texas!!!

Other than that... Lesslie came in for a visit and we got to go shopping... a little too much shopping... but what can you do? ha ha

Two weeks ago Timmy and I went to Boston for the weekend. My aunt and uncle were there for a week vacation so we decided to take the Megabus for the weekend. It was a pretty sweet way to travel. You just show up and get on the bus, no one pats you down or anything :) Once we got there we met up with Uncle Don and Aunt Martine and went to eat at Legals!!!!! Sooooo good. Lobster roll +Clam Chowder = one happy Ally. It was fun to see family and hang out. We went to Quincy market and walked around through the Public Gardens. It was a short fun trip complete with Mike's Bakery goodies!!! I made everyone with us a believer!

Last week seemed forever long, I am back in school, and my class is HORRIBLE. Timmy had to work like a maniac last week. He didn't get home until midnight a few nights. Overall, last week wasn't my best. That plane ticket home was burning a hole in my pocket. After a lot of thought, I decided to go ahead and apply for a teaching job for next school year. When I had first moved up here, I thought I would be so busy and have so many volunteer opportunities, but really, I just sit at home all day. I was not meant for that! I was meant to work! I miss my kids. So I applied at a few private schools. I'm hoping to hear back, but I'm worried that it may be too close to the school year. Anyway, send happy hired thoughts this way :)

Timmy decided the day off on Friday so we got to hang out. It was nice being able to do stuff with another human being! We picked out paint for the apartment and planned our adventures for the next few days. We had really been wanting to go to the beach but we didn't know where to go so we decided to go to Coney Island. At first, we were having a lot of fun. We ate some WONDERFUL hot dogs and headed down to the beach. O...M...G... so many people!!! It was crazy, well...they were crazy. There was an old man swimming in his way to tight tighty whities, an older woman swimming in a white tee shirt with nothing under it, and all kinds of other fun people. The water was FREEZING which was not good for anyone involved. We didn't stay too long. It was an interesting experience, but probably won't happen again. Now I understand why people shell out the big bucks for the Hamptons. haha

The next day we went to mass at St. Patrick's Cathedral. I was so excited to go! It was breath taking. Absolutely beautiful. When mass started, it got a little strange. We couldn't hear anything ( I guess I shouldn't be surprised that a 150 year old church didn't have a sweet sound system). It was strange to have people walking around taking pictures while mass was going on. It was a little distracting. All in all I think that it would be a good place to go for big services but not for every Sunday. I don't know what I was expecting... maybe an angel giving the homily or something, I mean... its a cathedral. Apparently that is just asking a little too much.

Yesterday was our anniversary :) Can't believe it has already been 2 years! How different things were two years ago! Timmy took me to the Mesa Grill, Bobby Flay's restaurant. IT WAS SO FABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everything we ate was wonderful and no one covered up my mess this time! We had a fun time and a great anniversary dinner.

I know that's not much, but, I haven't had a lot going on. I am painting the apartment and will hopefully be done by the end of this coming weekend. After that I will post some pictuers of our place.

I miss you all and am ready for visits!!!! I can't wait to be back in Texas to give you all hugs!!!!

Have a great rest of the week!
