February Snapshots In The City...

 

The month of February was no different than January. Warm temps. No major snowfall. Lots of rain. It has been pretty dreary with bits of sunshine but at least we live in a part of the world where we can just venture outside without having the need to get on a plane and travel somewhere exotic. We get everything in our backyard. New York city is a gem and I love it! Almost 16 years of living close to the best city in the world and it never gets old. Here I am walking right past the house where one of my favorite movies was filmed. Any guesses? Here's a reference, "snap out of it!" MOONSTRUCK! Love the location in Brooklyn. 

And here are a few gems that we encountered this month....

Inspirational Thought- Looking Forward to Summers In Brooklyn!

Childhood is the world of miracle or of magic.

It is as if creation rose luminously out of the night,

all new and fresh and astonishing.

Childhood is over the moment

things are no longer astonishing.

Lexie Lately With Her Quilt From Project Repat!

It hasn't been cold enough to use a heavy blanket where we live, but this blanket that I ordered from Project Repat that was made for Lexie when she went back to college is good enough for her! Especially since it's been snowing a ton in Utah!! I was also so excited when I saw Lexie's photo used for their marketing ad. I have to say that they did a magnificent job in sewing all her memorabilia t-shirts together and it was a piece of pie to send them in. I have a ton of shirts I need to send to them for my youngest daughter who will be heading off to college this fall and it'll be interesting once again to see how her quilt turns out! Now for some photos of Lexie and her blanket. She is proud of it! Thanks to project repeat form making such a great quilt! I highly recommend them! 

Valentine's Day 2023.

My husband told me the other day that some of his coworkers wives are really hating the Miley Cyrus's song "I can buy myself flowers." I can see why because of the independent words written in that song. Luckily I'm one of those cool wives who honestly doesn't give a crap about what I get. I'm in my 50's and to be honest I pretty much buy myself what I want without having the need to ask, but I do admit that it's a heck of a surprise when Jon gives me a card with such beautiful words written inside. And that's good enough for me! I don't flowers but I do love dates to the city and that's exactly what Jon is so good at. He loves taking me out to the city and this valentines day we kept it simple with capturing a photo of us to remember that so much love is just spending time together. Loving each other and paying attention to each other. It's always the simplest gifts of love that are the most precious and meaningful. Not the material things. Okay, if you count seeing a broadway show or going to a museum materialistic I don't think it is. It is entertaining and that is something I'll remember going to as opposed to any piece of jewelry. Whether you have a significant other or not I hope that everyone had a nice valentines day.

BTS At AMC Theatres!!

On the day of my mom's 79th birthday Chelsea and I got tickets to see BTS in concert....at AMC theaters! I mean c'mon, this is the closest I'm going to get to seeing the famous Korean boy band BTS in concert. Sitting in the middle row at the AMC theatre pretending that I'm actually experiencing the real thing! And it kind of felt like it was. Especially when we had a ton of rowdy, young teenage girls behind us but the coolest thing I loved the most were the two 60 plus year old women sitting right next to us. They were cheering and clapping and even singing their songs! It was hilarious and beautiful at the same time and my daughter chelsea who was sitting next to me was also going nuts but not as crazy as the rest of the audience! Overall, BTS is phenomenal and I absolutely love their music. I blame my girls for getting me into them. The 25 dollar tickets to watch their concert in theaters was worth it!! Here are a few scenes from the show. They're not the best but they are good enough for this blog!

& Juliet On Broadway!

So much to catch up on this month but I got to tell ya that this weather isn't very motivating for me to write. With these warm temps we've been having all month long I'd rather be outside. But on the first day of February Chelsea and I saw & Juliet on broadway and it was amazing! Truly on the top of my "most favorite broadway shows" list next to Phantom, Harry Potter, & Dear Evan Hansen. Such an energetic show and the fact that it is Valentines day in 13 days is the perfect month to watch it! I captured a few scenes toward the end of the show when it was ending and when it was okay to take pics! Sitting in the second row in the front did not disappoint!
