News from the "White House"

New York, New York...

2010-01-02T12:52:00.001-08:00

We had so much fun in New York City! The first night we got there it SNOWED! We had a great dinner and went to see and amazing show called Fuerza Bruta. We both definitely recommend this for all!! It's like nothing else.
Some other things that we enjoyed were a Pizza Tour, massages in Chinatown, dumplings at Broom and Eldridge, chicken tikka masala in Little India, Staten Island Ferry, Rock of Ages on Broadway, National Comedy Theater, Canal street, Souths in Tribeca, Little Italy, Avatar, World Trade Center site, Charmin bathrooms, Century 21, Central Park, Ghostbuster's building, Union Square Holiday Market, Bryant Park, Patsy's Pizzeria, Museum of Sex, Flat Iron building, Top of the Rock, Magnolia Bakery, and the Tic-Toc Diner (ok, so maybe we didn't like this last thing).
Well, all in all we had a great time and we know there is plenty to do the next time we visit. I (Jenni) would prefer that the next time be at a time when the temperatures are above 70. :)

Our 1st Anniversary in England

2009-08-16T19:08:00.001-07:00

Lee and I thought it would be fun to visit our friend Ben in England. He is currently living there for at least a couple of years, so we thought it would be a great way to celebrate our 1st anniversary! We stayed with Ben in Windsor and visited London by day. We did spend one day traveling to Bodiam, Dover, and Canterbury. The Bodiam Castle and White Cliffs of Dover were my favorite! We had a great time and enjoyed all that London had to offer.

Colorful Colorado

Wow! We had a blast on our most recent trip! Lee and I invited a few friends to Colorado for a spectacular weekend! We started the weekend with some whitewater rafting! It was TONS of fun!

On Sunday, we got up super early to hike a 14,000 ft. mountain (Mt. Democrat). Yes, Penny went too! It was the HARDEST thing I have ever done, and I could not have done this without Lee's encouragement.

Travelin'

2009-04-14T18:20:00.000-07:00

It has been quite awhile since our last post. The month of March was full of traveling for both Lee and I. I spent my Spring Break in Peru, visiting Julie. We had a great time. A few days after I got back from Peru I left for New Orleans for a NSTA convention. Brittany and I were roommates and we slept in the most comfortable beds ever! It was like sleeping on a cloud...

The same day I left for New Orleans, Lee left for Colorado. He went skiing at Winter Park with 11 other people. They had a blast even though Lee came home injured. He extended his stay when JP and JJ went to skied at Breckenridge.

'Tis the Season

2009-01-10T14:48:00.001-08:00

Ok, we thought it was time for a little update. Since our last post many great celebrations have passed. First, there was the addition of my nephew, Noah. He is super cute. Next, there was Thanksgiving with the family, Christmas with the family, and lastly, New Years with friends at the 4th annual "New Year's Eve at the White House". Lee and I have enjoyed five months of marital bliss...well, we are just really happy! With this post, I will include a few pictures from Christmas.

Penny was not too fond of her outfit, but she was super cute for a whole 5 minutes.

My super cute nephew, Frosty...I mean, Noah Riley!

We hope you all enjoyed the Holiday Season!

My friends took me out to Tomfooleries for dinner and then to Ernie Bigg's Piano Bar in Westport. We had such a fun time!!!! I even got up on stage multiple times!!! YIKES!!!

Power Hitters!!!!

Well....all good things have to come to an end. We just finished our final softball game with a WIN!!! We completed the season in 5th place!!!! Ok....so it was out of 6, but at least we weren't last!!

Our growing girl!

2008-06-29T20:24:00.000-07:00

Lee and I are loving our dog Penelope (Penny). She enjoys car rides, taking walks, playing fetch, and eating EVERYTHING!!! She has a very funny personality. This is one of my favorite pictures of her. We are going to the vet's office tomorrow, so we are anxious to see how much she has grown in just a few weeks.

How could anyone ever say no to this face!!! She is so cute!

Penny gets tired after playing outside with Daddy (and so does Daddy)!!!

Meet Penelope!

We are officially parents (of a new puppy)! Penelope (Penny) White is a beautiful, four month old lab mix. She is the perfect addition to our family. Penny loves people and playing with her toys. After just a few minutes of playing tug-o-war, you can find her enjoying a long nap. We are excited to get to know her better. If you would like to stop by she would love to meet you!

Spring Breakin' in Colorado

2008-04-20T15:09:00.001-07:00

Yes, this post is a little late, but I thought we should add it anyway. Lee and I spent four days in Colorado with seven other friends from Graceland (Lindsey, Matthew, Jordan, Linda, Josh, Meredith, and Sean). We were able to spend some quality time on the slopes, and the ladies also enjoyed a little time spending the money at a local shopping outlet. during the evenings, the whole crew spent some time relaxing in our condo. The picture to the left was taken on our first night at a local bar. We had a great time!

The Not So Typical Valentine's Day!

2008-02-21T10:54:00.001-08:00

Lee and I decided to spend a long weekend in St. Louis for our "Valeversary". We stayed downtown and were able to walk to many places. We definitely had some unusual experiences, but it was definitely worth the memories! We went to three different restaurants that ended up being closed, ate at our very first Dim Sum place......Crazy, and experienced our first NHL game together ("We got Tacos!"). Together, we had a fun weekend and even got to see Luke and Lisa Young! This picture to the left is the view from our hotel room at night!

love.

Happy New Year!

Can you sue if someone chokes from playing a game?

This is a terrible picture, but I was supposed to create a snorkel and wear it the entire game.
What did you say, Kent?

Oh, all the random song and dances kept all of us on our toes!

By the end of the game Lee was VERY uncomfortable!

I hope all of you enjoyed your celebrations! Here are some pics of us and a couple of friends playing a random, yet fun game called "Quelf".

The Holidays Together

2007-12-31T15:40:00.000-08:00

The last month has been filled with planning and spending time with family and friends. Did you ask what we were planning for? Well, if you didn't know, Lee and I got engaged on Thanksgiving night, at the Plaza! It was definitely unexpected, but we were both very excited! We have officially booked our venue and will be getting hitched on 08/08/08!!!

Christmas is now over and we spent our day traveling to various family get-togethers. After a busy day and some playing Guesstures, we were ready for a little relaxing. This relaxing has led to not much wedding planning, but after the New Year, we will have to really get started! So, if you have any advice, we are definitely keeping things open!
