two weeks!

i just got back from a long trip to utah/nyc.  two weeks may sound like nothing but i was sooo ready to come back home to dustin!  the longest we had ever been apart before this was one night.  i may have broken down and cried a few (several) times, and i even came back a day earlier than originally planned (thank you mom for being a flight attendant and getting me flights!); nonetheless it was great catching up with friends and family (especially trevor who just came back from his mission in malaysia!!) and i got to spend some time in nyc on a work trip in the middle of it.  here's the photo recap of my two weeks away:

my fam's new kitten "bubba"

my fam's old cat "tigger"

making dinner at the hunt fam reunion at panguitch lake.  we all stayed in these adorable little cabins! shayna was making smashed peas.  i think it's a british thing? 

my "little" brothers!

first time seeing him after two years! he still hasn't met the husb yet haha. but i know they're going to get along great.

panguitch lake sunset

trevor's belated birthday cake. 21.

the whole family!  minus dustin :(

my two cute cousins at trev's homecoming

nice malaysia tie, trev.  i remember the day he passed me in height.

on a jet plane, heading for nyc!  i work for a company that sells harps, harp music, harp everything, and we were the presenting sponsor of the american harp society national convention in ny.  i love my job!

9/11 memorial

the "survivor tree" - the only tree that survived 9/11

evita was playing in the theater in our hotel! ricky martin was one of the lead roles "che" and he was amazing.  it was cool seeing this play, since last year i visited buenos aires and even saw evita's grave.

crumbs bake shop!  so many delicious cupcakes to choose from!  the worst part is they list the number of calories each cupcake has right on the card.

yum coconut vanilla

practically perfect.  i loved mary poppins.

after the opening concert.  happy 50th anniversary to the ahs!

paraguayan harpists play like it ain't no thang.  edmar was an incredible musician and performer.
