Jessica Simpson and Rascal Flatts Concert





Maybe one of the best days ever.....JESSICA SIMPSON and Rascal Flatts at Madison Square Garden!!!!! My cousin Melissa and I went and we had floor seats...it was amazing! Jessica's voice sounded great and she sang all my favorite songs. Plus, she looked super skinny and I loved her outfit. All the Rascal Flatts shook our hands while they performed. It was a great concert! 

Happy Birthday Joanna!!


Bowling


We have an official new hobby....BOWLING! I forgot how much fun this sport can be (and how much your fingers hurt the next day). I think this is something we will be doing lots more!  

Texas Recap



This will be the first time in a month I will be in one state for longer than four days in the last month. As I said it's always fun to go to Texas A&M, everyone always makes it worth the long trip... here are some pictures as promised.

Groundhog's Day- back in the Northeast


After a trip home from Texas on Superbowl Sunday I am back in Syracuse now and wishing I wasn't....it was so nice to see and feel sun this weekend (and see some of my favorite people and a particularly special boy). I forgot how great it is to be outside in nice weather. But today it is dreary and mildly cold . And our good friend  "Punxsutawney Phil" crawled out of his stump today and saw his shadow. (what an interesting name...Maybe Brad and Angelina should use that one next...maddox, Pax, knox, and Punx) This funny Northeast tradition means 6 more weeks of winter. UGHHH!!! 6 more weeks....well that brings us to the middle of March...oh dear. I love animals especially funny ones like groundhogs so I really don't mind this pretty pointless holiday (especially since it's Brian's birthday-Happy Birthday Gh!) but I have always wondered where the hell it came from so here it is kiddies.....
       "According to German superstition, if a hibernating animal casts a shadow on Feb. 2 -- the Christian holiday of Candlemas -- winter will last another six weeks. If no shadow was seen, legend said spring would come early."
