Lobster & Chocolate Anyone?!

Happy Birthday Kirk! We celebrated Kirk's b-day this year with Lobster and Chocolate! We atempted cooking our own live lobster! I was a little freaked out by the lobster but it ended up being a lot of fun, and delicious.

For dessert we headed over to Max Brenner, it is a famous chocolate restaurant here in NY, and man is it good!

We ordered a sampler fondue platter, you can't see very well in the pictures but it came out with our own grill that you could rost your marshmallows on. Our favorite was the the sugar crisp bannana split waffle with a little cinnamon ice cream on top! Can you say YUMM!

VIVA!

For those of you that don't know, Kirk and I just got back from the Dominican Republic!! It was sooo much fun!! We had the best time! It was such a great way to celebrate the end of Kirk's first year of Dental School and all the hard work that has gone along with it. Here are a few pictures I
thought I would share for those of you that haven't seen them.


















Our view out our window was of the markets in the town. It was cool going through them they had really fun painting and lots of jewlery.







They offered archery as one of the activities.

One of the excursions we went on was crazy wheels, they take you out into the country through some of the villages and to the sugar cane fields. You go out one way on four wheelers and back in dune buggies. It was a blast and very muddy! We loved it! It was really neat to see a lot of the country and the towns also.

Just some fun shots the first one is by Kirk and believe it or not it was shot at night I think he had to hold the exposure for almost 2 min.

Ok yes I have the best husband, he got up way way early with me so that I could have some beach picture of us. Thanks honey!

On our way home...we aren't as happy as we look:) It was really hard to leave, but it was a great time!

Visitors!

We were lucky to have Kirk's parents come into town for a visit. It was a lot of fun! Here are just some of the pictures of what we got to do while they were here. Thanks again for everything Dad and Mom we had fun!

Nothing is better than old Friends! Even when you haven't seen each other in a couple years, you can pick right up like you haven't spent a day apart. I love it! Nicole was able to come to NY for the day and we were able to spend the evening together after I got off work. It was so fun to see her and meet her soooo cute Katelyn! It had been way to long since we had seen each other and this was the only picture I got! I wish I would of gotten more her little one is such a cutie I couldn't get enough of her! Love you guys so glad you came!!!

Date Night

SER-EN-DIP-I-TY

-noun

an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident

I have been wanting to get Jimmer off my blog for a while, so I am going to post about our SERENDIPITY date! It was a lot of fun. For those of you who haven't seen the movie...well you should! It is really cute, and Kirk even really liked it. Our date was based around the movie, so we went to the same serendipity restaurant where the movie was filmed, it was such a neat little hole in the wall.

Their menues were huge...

Along with their desserts!

We were going to try and go ice skating at the same rink they go to in the movie, but that night it was freezing and we both weren't up for ice skating so we headed home and watched the movie!

So fun!
