Air Show

Nathanial and I (Ken for once) tried to catch the Great New England Air Show on Sunday after we dropped Nikki off to get the rental car for this week and was able to catch about 2 hours of it from the lawn of a McDonalds in Chicopee. We had a blast watching some of the Army parachutists, a stunt plane and the Air Force Thunderbirds. Nathanial took some pictures and a couple videos that I will include. After we got done there we had dinner at Friendly's and then I dropped him off at his Mom's house.

The Weather and The Fashion

So the weather yesterday was extreme. It was like 75 degrees and pouring, pouring down rain. I mean I know why it was like that we got the end of the tropical storm/hurricane Hanna but jeez. And I get up this morning...Blue skies and sun. This stuff is going to take a little getting use to. That's for sure. Btw...Barry...Thank you for the plane ticket offer :)...I can't believe you miss me that much already. But I do have to say I miss you guys too and think about you all the time and hope that your doing well. So on to the fashion. I am not saying I am a fashionista by any stretch of the imagination...however...we went to the Providence Place Mall yesterday. I have to say the amount of girls wearing the shortest shorts was beyond amazing. I saw one girl wearing leggings with shorts that her butt was sticking out the bottom. I saw another girl wearing too short of shorts that shouldn't have been wearing shorts at all if you know what I mean. It was absolutely amazing to see. I just have to say some people in Rhode Island need to start watching a little what not to wear or project runway or some kind of fashion show. :) Ken's parents are heading home today and we will start settling in to our new lives which is crazy but will be good. Nathanial goes back to his Mom's as well but he will be back in a couple weeks as we start to get a regular rhythm with that as well. I will start the big job hunt tomorrow. I have an interview with a marketing company but we will see how that turns out. I am hoping some of the resumes I have sent out this weekend I hear back from tomorrow. I will probably write again tomorrow and let you know how it all goes. Ken goes for his first day of training tomorrow so we will also see how that all turns out. Talk to you soon.

Were here!!!!

We made it. I don't want to write too much right now but it's nice here in Rhode Island. We finally got our truck unpacked today and now just need to get the house in order. Ken's parents are here helping. It's nice seeing them. We will have Nathanial this weekend. Hopefully we have everything ready by then. I will post pictures of our place when it's not covered in boxes. :) I hope all is well with everyone.

Clearfield, PA- $3.55

So our last big road day!!! I think this is going to be the best day for me. I get to drive by NYC. It is seriously a dream come true for me. I know it sounds super corny but I have loved NYC forever. It put a smile on my face to just see the sign on I-80 that said New York City. We are going to stay in Connecticut tonight. Get done a bit early and relax. Have dinner that isn't from a diner or other equivalent (well...except at Margo's :) ). Then tomorrow we will drive about an hour or so to our new home.

Bloomsburg, PA- Quaker steak and lube aka the lube

Singac, NJ- $3.49

Bronx, NY- $3.87

So we made it through NYC. It definitely took a while but worth it to me. It's not like we stopped (well we had to get some cash in Rochelle for the toll). But the Bronx was really cool to see from the car. The old buildings, the people. I can't wait to be able to stop and really Do NYC. :)

Super Duper Weenie- exit 24 in CT on I-95

Stratford, CT- $3.73
