So many new things

Well...it has been a while since I have updated and I'm sorry I haven't been on top of it.  I mean I have been busy, watching all my day time TV like Day of Our Lives and The View but I think it's probably time to finally update you all on what we have been up to, although it might be a long update.

First, we finally had a free weekend where Jordan wasn't working and it was the first game that USA played in the world cup.  So we decided to go into "the city" to watch the game.  We decided to meet a couple of Jordan's friends from college and Rachel Armor in the city to watch the game.  So we hoped on the express train from Stamford CT to Grand Central station and off we went on our first train ride from Connecticut to "the city" (everyone in CT calls New York City "the City").

We ended up having a great weekend with Jordan's friends from college all day watching the game and after and then staying with Rachel Armor.  Rachel was a wonderful host and on sunday showed us around their neighborhood.  We had a wonderful brunch and afternoon of shopping with Rachel and then headed back to CT for our drive back to Woodbury.

The next weekend happened to be a big one...it was Jordan's 24th Birthday!!  His Aunt and Cousin came up from Virginia and his Mom surprised him from Iowa.  Although he had to work on his Birthday we still we able to take day trips and still make the weekend a special celebration.  On Sat afternoon we went to Mystic CT which is most famous for the movie Mystic Pizza being taped there.  It is a great little town that is right on the water with a little main street full of restaurants and shopping.  We walked around the downtown area for a while doing a little shopping and then ended up at a great little restaurant called S&P Oyster Company right on the water.  We ordered a yummy round of raw oysters.  It happened to be 3 out of 5 of our first times having raw oysters and we all left loving oysters and discovering our yummy fresh new england oysters are. After the great day at Mystic we came back to the area and went to a fun B-day dinner for Jordan at a tasty restaurant called Julio's Wood Fired Pizza in Southbury CT.  We had such a great weekend with Jordan's family and thank them so much for coming for the weekend and celebrating Jordan's Birthday with us!

That is the Mystic Pizza restaurant in the back ground.  We found out that they did about a quarter of their taping at the actual place and then had an exact replica built outside of the town to do the rest of the taping so they weren't disrupting the little town of Mystic.

This past weekend we were invited to join Jordan's boss and his wife, Chase and Emily, down in Fairfield (where they live) to watch the USA World Cup Game and then to dinner.  Fairfield is a town right on the coast about 30 min away from where we live.  We had such a great time with the two of them and in Fairfield.  It was such a great town with a lot of restaurants and shopping downtown and a much younger crown then in Woodbury.  We ended up going to dinner at a Thai restaurant and Jordan was in heaven.  Ever since we moved here he has been craving Thai food and we haven't found a place by us yet.

We are so excited to be going home this weekend for Mallory and Nicks wedding and of course to see both of our families.  It is the first time that we will be home since we moved.  Also we are so excited for our friends Amy and Mike to visit next week so we can show them our new home!
