SURF'S UP

{more picturtes from Costa Rica -by Jan .... really it doesnt get much better than this}

    {if i could choose 1 life.... it would be the life of a surfer}

{lucky for me... Landon loves it just as much, if not more than me}

        {when i think of my happy place .... this is it}

Today's Simple Pleausures......

through the eyes of my iphone {sorry its crappy}

It really is the simple things in life that make me so happy.....

cute plates from Anthro

A bowl full of Sweetart jelly beans

bright Pink fingernail polish

and a darling necklace 

{P.S. if i knew pink fingernails would make me so happy.....i would have painted them a long time ago... like months ago!!}

Lets Hear It For New York......

Note to self....
{When taking the Mega bus to NY get there early...the bus will leave you!!}
{ Plan the trip around the weather... it was 70 degrees and beautiful!!! }
{ Share a sandwich from Carnegie...they are HUGE}

{I am in LOVE with Central Park}

This is St. Paul's Chapel, it is right across the street from where the World Trade Towers use to be. It is the only building in that area that had NO damage from the attack, not even a broken window .... remarkable really.
It was used as a refuge during 9/11. There were 2-3,000 meals served out of this church A DAY. There is a sweet spirit there, its really neat to see and read all about it, but it still seams so unreal to me. This is inside George Washington's Pew..... pretty cool, L really liked it.

{I think we should start buying seats/benches at church, just so we can have a plaque with our name on it.}Ground Zero

Brooklyn Bridge

Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine

{Yummiest cookies in the world..... I don't even care that they are probably 1000 calories each they are so worth every single bite....mmmmm!!}

{Being outside in the beautiful sunshine, with L.....
makes me so happy!!}

NYC was amazing, thanks baby for the good time, and to Josh and Melissa for showing us around, Great company, Great weather, Great food, if was a fun weekend had by all.

Represent Green Day the Upper Darby Way

So there are Irish Pubs EVERYWHERE out here, or maybe just in our neighborhood, and where I work, and really everywhere I go. I swear that it has been "pub crawl" month, not just week, and definitely not just day.
I don't know why exactly I celebrate March 17th and wear green, but I do, and I like it.

So {Callahan's} is right down the street from us, and Landon has been amused by this particular bar since we moved here. He always says......
"If I drank, I would stop at Callahan's everyday on my way home from school, and have a drink"

Not so Classy but......Classic.

Costa Rica

A-MAZ-ING: causing great surprise or sudden wonder.

No better way to start your day, then a

De-li-cious: highly pleasing to the senses.

breakfast from Rosa. Everything is soooo fresh.

  Just a few shots of our 

Ad-ven-ture: participation in exciting undertakings or enterprises.

Low tide Sand Dollar searching

Hotel Domilocos

 

There is no better way to end the day, then to sit on the beach and watch the most 

In-cred-ible: so extraordinary as to seem impossible.

sunset....with my sweet love, of course.

Hands down, my most favorite vacation!! We cant wait to go back....hopefully we wont have to wait too long. In fact we wouldn't mind living there, or at least having a house there....some day. Seriously fell in love.

BaBy.....VS.....DoG

Here are just a few thoughts,

tell me what you think?

some say their dogs are their kids.

but can you really hold them in your arms and sing them lullabies?

"they"say, that a dog will love you unconditionally.

but could i?

i cant stand little hairs everywhere.

Real Age says that, having a dog will make you younger.

and what having kids will age you?

i think they are both lots of work.

but eventually babies grow up, dogs just grow old.

both are a big commitment.

babies are for life, dogs are only for like what 10-15 years....

i have never really been a dog person, but my husband LOVES them!

"they"say, your dog is your best friend.

but isn't that why we have husbands, and moms, and sisters?

some say you should have a dog before you have a baby.

but you really think having a dog is going to make me a better mom?

there are some dogs that i just love though.... so cute and cuddly.

but dont you think babies are cuter and more loveable? i do.

i think when the time is right we will know......

either a baby, a dog, or someday maybe even both.

MonDay Must Haves
