Bree's Adventures: Radio City Hall!

Hey! I know you're surprised that I'm already writing again :) Welcome to my life...let's just say when I'm not working I have LOTS of time on my hands. The first weekend I was here I went into the city with the family and we met up with Brad's sister Jen and went to Sony World. It was actually really cool! Sunday was good, I met one of the other nannies that is in the ward. Her name is Olivia, she has been here for a couple years and is in charge of stake single activities so she is a good person to know :) We also have play dates every week, which is ALSO a great thing! I have the first couple of weeks past me now and it's been good. Heleyna and I have such a great time playing, she is so smart and so fun! She has an amazing imagination and we just have so much fun together! Braden and I are still working on it... :) he is 9 months old and I think having a little separation anxiety...it's mostly great, except when I'm trying to put him down for a nap. He basically refuses and just cries. So that's been kind of rough...if anybody has any ideas feel free to give me a tip :) Anyway it's so fun and such a blessing to be here!

A few fun things that I've done since I have been here is my friend Zack Oates and I went into Queens for a YSA dance...and let me tell you..it was pretty interesting. haha there were like 10 people there when we first got there so we went and sat in the car for awhile, but decided to go back in and make the best of it. While we were in the car a group of ppl had walked in so we introduced ourselves and made some great friends! We went to the Broadway Diner after the dance and it was the latest I have been out since I moved to Jersey....2 am!!! I know, I'm crazy! :) hahaha Saturday morning we had a stake YSA activity and we were going down to Princeton to a battle site. Don't worry there were 5 of us! hahaha let's just say the YSA scene out here is a little bit of a struggle :) The activity was fun though and I basically just hung out the rest of the day.

This week the missionaries came to visit me :) haha Elder Parker Robinson (a family friend from Cedar) is serving in the mission I live in and one of the other Elders knew that and they came to visit. So fun! Also we had a fun play date at the park and even went to get ice cream after :) On Friday, this past weekend I definitely went to the new movie "The Blind Side" with Sandy and Tim McGraw, it's about NFL player Michael Oher. Anyway it is seriously AMAZING and I recommend that everybody go and see it. In case you were wondering yes I did go by myself :) it's fine to go to movies alone! Saturday morning the Taylor family invited me to go with them to the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and it was amazing!! The Rockettes are so great! I have always heard about this show, but didn't really know a lot about it. Anyway it is a great family show and recommend it to everybody! Last night there was a semi-formal multi-stake dance and it was a lot of fun. A few of the friends I met last week were there and a lot of new ones! Anyway here are a few pictures from my adventures!
