A New York Afternoon

So Ive been working a lot lately. I don't how many people are aware that Im working in a new capacity at work since my dream of becoming a flight attendant was shot down.
I was hired on to be a Lead (in training) on one of the concourses at the airport. My new job means that Im responsible for about 9 agents, making sure they know their job and complete their trainings. I also get to do the schedule for the day, assigning agents to work the flights we have on our concourse.
Well normally there are 4 of us that do this job. For about the past 2 weeks, it feels like its just me, either my coworkers are out on vacation or attending funerals of loved ones or buying a new home. Its been me holding down the fort.
Because Ive been working so much Ive only been taking 1 day off a week. So this past Monday I decided to spend the day with my sister and my nephew, they just happen to live in NYC. So I hopped the redeye flight sunday night, scoring 3 seats in coach to myself. I landed to a rainy day in NYC at 730 in the morning. I was able to get to Liz and Marks place by about 930 and thats when the fun started.

I was greeted by this little chunk of a man and his beautiful mother. I was pretty tired since I didnt get too much sleep after working and then hopping a plane. Fortunately it was morning nap time for the little man and so we were able to crash out together for about 45 mins. Then we hit the town. I wish I'd have taken more pictures of the three of us but I had Truman in the ERGO baby carrier and ported his little bum around for 5 hours from 59th street (columbus circle) all the way down to 34th street shopping and just seeing the city. He slept pretty much the entire way, he only woke up when we stopped for lunch at Whole Foods.

We shopped through TimeSquare and on to 34th street where I found some cute undies at H&M my fave store, and Liz found two very cute polo style shirts at a little hole in the wall called JJ's that I would never have gone into thinking they had anything Liz might like but she knows her city and where to shop for what she wants. She amazes me that NYC has really become her town, she knows it very well. I would still probably be overwhelmed.
One last pic of me and the cute little booger and Ill end my trip with me hopping on the 7pm flight the same day and heading back to slc. Returning home 24hrs after Id left it. A long but a totally fun trip to see my little sis and her ADORABLE baby boy.
I love you Liz and I had a great time with you guys in the city. We have to do it again!!!

Ode to motherhood

Now I know a lot of people think that they have the greatest mother on the planet but I have to say this to thos people, my mother is better then your mother!!
No really she is. My mom is a rock, a champ, a superior chef and an amazing friend. She is always there when I need her and she even shows up when I didn't know I needed her..
Dearest Mother of mine.. I love you eternally and am so greatfull you are mine! Thanks for always being there for me!!

A day with my Girlfriend.. Halle

Now I know a few of you this title is gonna snap your attention so let me just quickly share a picture of the two of us out on our adventure today..

Ok so it was more Halle and I and her mom at the hair salon. Shelly needed a touch up on her do so she went to the talented (and cute) Mr. David down at the Salon.
Halle and I snuggled while Shole had some work done.
I should tell you how our adventure started today. (much to Sholes embarassement) We ran out of gas on the freeway heading down town. She started loosing power and we coasted to the exit of the freeway within walking distance of the gas station. It was then that she realised that her wallet was not with us in the car. So I girded up my manly loins and handled the situation. I marched over to the Chevron and got 2 Diet Cokes and a small tank of gas to get us to the pump where we put a few more gallons in the tank to get us around town.
We only showed up to the Salon 20 minutes late but David was nice enough to just smile an not give Shole crap.(like im doin now for all the world to see)
David worked his magic on the Mama while I snuggled, changed, and fed the baby. A fun day at the Salon for sure. I wonder.. could I be a Manny? Hmm where would the Flight Bennies come though? I guess Ill just have to settle for bein an awesome uncle to many a deserving child.
We had lunch at one of my faves, Noodles & Co. Pesto Cavatappi, my personal fave.
Now Im sleepy and am in need of a nap, watching Halle get in 4 or 5 today was enough to make me need one.
And there you have it.. My day with my little lover bug.
