Happy Friday

{a snap shot from our time at Liberty State Park on Sunday}

This week was a trying one to say the least.  I have decided to avoid watching the news all together.  If these tragic events have taught me anything at all it would be to appreciate what you have because you never know how quickly it all can be taken away from you.  Life can be such a crazy thing.  I hope this weekend is filled with nothing but positivity, love, and happiness for all of you.

Scenes From The Weekend

 

{hot date with the hubbs}

It’s great to be able to spend quality time with my husband and family especially since during the week we are all so busy and on different schedules.  Friday Chris and I went on a little movie (we saw The Place Beyond The Pines, Ryan Gosling was the best part of the movie and not just for obvious reasons) and dinner date.  We were pleasantly surprised to find out that our favorite taco place in Jersey City was back in business after being closed down for months due to the extensive damage hurricane Sandy caused.   Carnitas tacos from Taqueria definitely hit the spot.  Also, they now have chips and guacamole, thank you, Baby Jesus!  Sunday after church we went to my mom’s for our traditional family lunch and after that Chris and I wanted to continue to enjoy the rest of the day so we decided to go to Liberty State Park.  We even filmed a little video of our time at the park, which I’ll share with you guys later this week…

Bicycles and Brunch

This past Memorial Day weekend was absolutely wonderful!  It was full of BBQs, quality time with family and friends, and fun.  Yesterday my sister in law and her husband joined us for a bike ride around downtown Jersey City.  Afterwards we went for a delicious brunch at Skinners Loft.  Here are a few shots of the day...

Oh, to be a kid again...
This past Saturday was perfect kite flying weather. Mind you I had never flown a kite before. After a few unsuccessful tries and nearly decapitating my husband I finally got the hang of it. It was so much fun. I can't wait to do it again. ; )
