recent news in the 'fam'

So...not too much new on my end other than that Chris and I just finished up with our plans to go to Hawaii in September. I'd already paid half of the trip so it was just a matter of choosing a date to go before the end of the year (or forfeit the down payment). We are heading to Maui for a weekn in September (which...was a difficult decision considering we really wanted to attend our friend, Kym's, wedding in Germany...just couldn't get the $ together to make that trip...and seeing as HI was already, for the most part, paid for...we went in that direction). We had also planned on flying to Houston the first week of October for Chris's birthday but unfortunately we missed out on the $99 each way tix on Southwest...they're now $160 each way! SOOO...we shall be staying home in an effort to conserve $.

In other news...my sister and her hubby are moving to Ft. Collins this week on account of him getting a new Gov. job there...Amanda just found out that she too got a job at the local high school teaching Geometry and Algebra.

And speaking of jobs...Chris's sister, Anne, found out the same day as MY sister, that she got a job as well! She will be one of the characters on the new and upcoming NBC series, "Friday Night Lights." The series is based loosely on the film of the same name and will be directed by Peter Berg and produced by Brian Grazer. Anne will be playing, Drew, a goody-goody young lady who dates one of the football players! So keep an eye out for her starting in October...Tuesdays on NBC.

Any more news and i'll be sure to post!

my little trip to NYC and NJ over the 4th...








So just got back from a little week-long jaunt to the east coast...1) to see Katie's last show on Broadway (well, not HER last show...the SHOW's last show!) and 2) to meet up with a friend of Chris's in NJ for the 4th. Thought i'd include a few pics for y'all to see...from top to bottom:
1) Chris and I at the Trump Tower for a cocktail party in his sis's honor
2) A pic I took of the speeches at the end of the final showing of Katie's show (she's in white and to HER right is Chris Sarandon aka. Prince Humperdink for those in the 'know')
3) A freakish shot of birds over the water in Cape May , NJ...something was up with my white balance so stuff came out blue! But it looks cool. ;-)
4) A really funny seagull...had to snap him up lol
5) Me on the 4th of July in my bib at The Lobster House...Cape May, NJ
6) Chris and I on the 4th at a bar down the street from The Lobster House
7) And a shot (and this is for KYM and PAM!!) of the 405 as we flew over returning to LA...note how little traffic! lol Ah...gotta love LA!
Anyway...hope everyone had a great 4th of July and was safe about it...no loss of fingers by using firecrackers!!
