Lacrosse

So I mentioned before that Chad joined the Lacrosse team/ club at Columbia recently and I went to his game... I will admit that I didn't see him actually play... I watched like 90% of the game.. but it seems like I wasn't paying attention when he did play, or I couldn't find him and then when I did he was back on the sidelines... very frustrating! I was using that other 10% of my time to catch up with a good friend... so at least it wasn't because I was playing Drop 7 or something....

Anyway, here's some pictures of him and lacrosse and what not.

Team huddle... I couldn't get my phone to take a non blurry shot!

This is practice... it didn't dawn on me to take a picture during the actual game

He's number 35... at least he was last night... I'm under the impression that his number will change weekly

I had to come to the shocking realization that I know very little about lacrosse last night... I kept texting my brother Todd questions. It's just a lot different from most other sports...

Anyway, does anyone else's weight seem to fluctuate like crazy? I don't actually know if it is or not since we don't have a scale... but this month I have felt very chubby, but last month I didn't... I don't know what it is... Anyway, below i put a picture of my salad for lunch today... and I'm really wondering if all my salad toppings negate my actual salad eating... Today I had grilled tofu, avocado, red onion, broccoli, carrots, feta and cucumbers. It was good and I enjoyed every last bite, but I realized something. I don't eat salad as an entity. I eat it as a scattering of many different things. Today for instance I ate all the tofu first. Sometimes I get a piece of lettuce with it, but didn't try to... then I ate the avocado, then the broccoli... I don't know why I do that... I think it makes me weird though

They forgot my walnuts... rude

Anyway, I'm trying to post more but when my day consists of sitting at a desk doing nothing for about 6 hours of the day then going home and making dinner and being quiet so Chad can study... there just isn't that much to say.

Nic and Makena are coming to visit this week though so I'm sure we'll have plenty of pictures from that to post! Also, in honor of their visit I'm determined to have our apt looking cute and fun and finalize so I might even have apartment pictures to show off too!

3 posts in a month!

I figure I should post something so we have more than 2 posts a month... I wish we did more exciting things so I could blog about them all the time.... but we don't, most of our together free time is spent running errands  and Chad studying while I try to be quiet and not distract him too much.I don't do a good job at that like 90% of the time. I'm sure when it warms up we'll make a lot more fun trips out and about and will have way more pictures of awesome things

Anyway, here's come cool pictures we have taken....

One of my favorite things about New York is the variety of architecture you can find all over... a huge Gothic style cathedral just right there at the end of a random apartment block

Chad randomly joined the club Lacrosse team last Friday night and went to a game in Philadelphia the next day. This is the view from the field.

We think Batman needs a friend... but these guys, as cute as they were, cost about $3000, that's about $2900 more than we'd ever want to pay!

We did manage to get to the World Trade Center 9/11 Memorial. They were much more efficient at getting people through security there than at airports, but I think they check the tickets more at the memorial.

I was attempting pensive...

Chad however... seems to be, um excited, to be at the memorial

I know I look pregnant, but I promise I'm not... it's the shadows and a black coat... yikes

I was going for pensive...

More of the memorial.

The guy that took this picture was an iPhone photo professional! He was changing settings and zooming in and it made us giggle.

I think what I learned at the 9/11 Memorial that Chad and I probably shouldn't go to places like that too often. We seem to lack a strong sense of decorum. All I wanted to do there was crack jokes and laugh loudly... which is frowned upon.
