The Journey Home

Well, we decided to leave NY and come home to Orem to finish out the summer. We had an amazing time in NY and will miss good friends but we were ready to leave. My family and us went to Palmyra and got to go to the Sacred Grove. From their they flew home (lucky ducks) and we made the long drive. We stopped in Kirtland and Nauvoo and got to see the sites and go to the temple. It was a long drive but fun for Scott and I to get to spend so much time together! And it was so good to see the Rocky Mts.!!! The slideshow below is pics. of the drive home.

Check out my Slide Show!

New York

Our Two Year Anniversary! We went to Wicked to celebrate early, but on the actual day Scott took me out to breakfast, then we both had to work. After we went to dinner and a movie. We had such a great time! Two years flew by for us and we are excited for more to come. I love the quote, "Happiness is being married to your best friend." I had people warn me that the first few years of marriage were really hard and a big adjustment, but we just love it!
My mom, two younger bros, sister, and her darling baby came to visit for a week. We spent two days touring in NYC and having a blast. This is Scott and I kissing on top of the Empire State Building :).

Just chillin at the beach.
We rode around both days in a double decker bus. It was quite fun.

WICKED!!

To Celebrate our two year anniversary a little early, we went to Wicked!! It was AMAZING and worth every penny. After it was over we wanted to stay in our seats and watch the whole thing over again. I would recommend it to anyone!! When we went to Manhatten it was very hot with way too much humidity, I'd take 110 degrees in Orem over 80 degrees out here in any day. After we barely made it to the play (we went to the train station and realized we forgot our tickets), we walked around for a while and ate at Planet Hollywood. It was a great day, and it all started off with Scott singing a duet in Sacrament meeting, which was awesome!

Here is Scott next to the giant piano they used in the movie BIG, if anyone remembers it. He was pretty excited to see it and be able to touch it. I was a little disappointed it didn't actually play music. Planet Hollywood had some pretty sweet stuff in it.

Ok, so we weren't supposed to take pictures at the play, but we snuck one in before it started. It was pretty darn cool.

As for me, Kaylee, I am loving New York. I love sightseeing and only working part time. When I do work, I nanny for two little girls, Claire (7) and Lauren (5), I feel like I am six years old again. I play Barbies and mermaids and High School Musical II. When I play barbies we do one of three things, get married, go to the old west, or a bar. The girls are pretty spoiled but have their sweet moments. They call me KK. I took the girls out riding bikes and ended up getting a tick in my head. I pretty much thought the world was going to end, but I'm over it now. And I don't have Lyme's disease, at least no signs of it... I hate ticks. But other then that I just hang out and go to the pool or work on my online class. Very relaxing and wonderful.

The more Scott has to work, the more not so fond of the job he is getting. He is sick of being told no all day and the heat. I don't blame him. But we are having a great time and loving life and being married for almost two whole years!

Scott The Entertainer

For Memorial Day we went to a beautiful park and had a BBQ. It was tons of fun and we didn't even want to leave when it got dark...except for all the mosquitos and ticks (ticks are really bad out here, a lot of old people die from Lime's diesease, and a young lady in our ward with 3 kids under 8 just got Lime's disease and Rocky mountain fever from one tick and is very sick). After our bellies were full some guys pulled out the guitars and Scott got to jam for forever. It was so fun hearing him play...he misses his guitar out here I think more than anything else.

It started out as a few people...

and then turned to many!

The Tip of the Island

We decided to drive to the furthest tip of long island to see the first lighthouse built in NY state. It was commissioned by George Washington himself and is called the Montauk Point Lighthouse. We got to go inside of it and climb to the top. The house you see in front of the lighthouse was built for the lighthouse keepers and is now the home of the museum for the of the lighthouse. Way freakin cool. These pics are from the hike up inside. (notice Scott's hot lighthouse sweatshirt! It was so freezing we bought the cheapest one at the gift shop...I'll doubt you'll see him wearing it again =) )

Good Times

Happy Birthday to Scott! The day before Scott's Bday we had BBQ on Sunday at our house with lots of friends. It was his first birthday party. This is supposed to be Scott blowing out his candles...I (Kaylee) am not the best photographer. On his real Birthday I went and picked him up from work and got there after about an hour of being lost. We had an awesome night which included outback steakhouse...yumm. Thank goodness Scott got a GPS is all I have to say, the roads out here are awful!
I am famous! (sorta). All the wives of the working husbands got together and went to Good Morning America. I had to wake up at 3:15 am, bleh. It was worth it though. We made signs so we would get noticed and had a blast. One of the guys talking to us said we would be having a whole different experience if we were all single =). We got to see Prince Caspian and Susan (sorry, no pics.) and stand in the same spot for two whole hours.
Me and the two famous hosts that I forgot their names (even though I went to GMA I still have yet to watch it).
Ok, we're a little silly but we still like to think we are cool.

Story Time!

This is Scott...Ok, so this Tuesday, I was moved to a new area closer to the big city. Maybe you've heard of it, it's called Queens! I have to admit, I was pretty nervous for safety reasons. When I got out there I was not surprised. It was just as ghetto as I imagined, but none the less, it was very "moist" (as my coworker Kevin would call it) meaning good to knock in. I was definitely the only white boy for miles. I stuck out like Rob Zombie at an Enrique Inglesias concert. At about 6:30, I was noticing a big black guy following me from street to street. I tried to lose him but could not. I also noticed a black car following me as well. It would park while I knocked a door and then follow me down the street afterwards. Finally, it pulled up behind me and I grabbed my pen tightly, ready to stab the first person to try anything. They asked me what I was doing. I looked in the car and realized they were NYPD. They told me to hurry up and get in with them. I did so, knowing that the other guy that was following me was waiting for them to leave. We sped off. They asked me if I was stupid or something and if I had any idea where I was. I honestly did not know. They told me that the they were following me because they had seen that guy tailing me around the neighborhood. They then told me that there had already been two shootings in that same area that afternoon and there was a verdict out for white people to be shot because of a shooting the cops had a little while ago where the cops killed a black boy. They told me never to come back to that area. By that time I was pretty shaken up. They took me over to where my car group was and we left. I asked to be relocated the next day. Sorry this was so long. It is very juicy though, eh?

A story by Kaylee: So we were sitting in church, which is an interesting experience in itself because there is like a whole 30 of us or something total. One of the bishopric members is giving a talk, and right in the middle when he's bearing his testimony and every eye is on him we hear a loud piercing ringing sound. It was the fire alarm. We all had to evacuate outside, brrrr. Then came the fire engineS, the ambulance, and the policeman. It took a while. Come to find out it was just a faulty fire alarm in the kitchen. Church is a whole new experience out here.
