Karissa's Senior Prom

Tonight is Karissa's Senior Prom. She was so excited to go. Her dress was so pretty. She picked a princess dress. What else would she pick. The color was really pretty on her. She wanted to make sure that she was comfortable at the dance so instead of the regular girl shoes, High heals, she went with a pair of pink Converse. SMART!!! A friend in the ward did her hair and make-up and did such a great job on it. She went with a really cute boy, Mike. They looked so cute together. Have a great time Karissa!!!!!!!!

Karissa in New York

Karissa had a ball in NYC. From the minute she got off the plain she was running at full speed. She took a red eye flight and got in about 7 AM. They dropped their stuff off at the hotel and headed for the Empire State Building. That night she went to the show "Stomp". She sang in the Trinity Church Cathedral. She said that was awesome. She spent some time in Central Park and while she was there her and a girlfriend found the bridge from Enchanted so they had to skip across it singing the song from the movie. Im sure people thought they were crazy. They went to a Mets game that night. She was hoping for a Yankees game cause that is her favorite team, but no luck. They went to "Ground Zero" she was very disappointed with that. It has now become a construction site. No remembrance what so ever. She went to the broadway play "Hairspray" she really enjoyed that. She went to Ellis Island and Liberty Island to see the Statue. She really liked that. I think one of her highlights of the trip was her trip to China town. She learned to bargain really well. She was told by the Chinese ladies there that she was CHEAP!!! they would say "you cheap you to cheap" and Karissa would just laugh. But in the end she would always get the bargain. Her last night there they went to a play "Sunday in the park with George" she said it was so horrible that as soon as the could they walked out. She did so many things and had such a great time. She is looking forward to the time she can go back again.

What the DEER??????

I was cleaning up the kitchen just a few minutes ago and I noticed the dogs were intently looking at something so I went to the sliding door and looked out. I ran and grabbed the camera and this was what I got. These deer were just on the other side of the fence. They didn't even care that we were there. What an amazing place to live when you can look out your window and see deer grazing in your back yard.
