Tom's Baptism

This weekend we had a neat experience with the church. Over the past couple of weeks we've gotten to know Thomas Bickel, a man who's been investigating the church. He's came to our home a few times with the sister missionaries and on Sunday March 2nd he was baptized. The sisters knocked on his door during superbowl sunday, and luckily he's more of an MLB fan anyway! Que la obra progrese!

Philly for President's Day

We the interns, in order to form a more perfect internship, visited Philadelphia on President's Day. It was a great trip.

Posing with the Italian Stalion himself, and I'm not referring to Steve.

Central Park & The Metropolitan Musuem of Art

This past Saturday we went geocaching through central park and then we ended up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We saw some awesome work by Monet, Van Gogh, Titian, Poussin, van Dyck, Caravaggio, and Bernini.

V-Day

Katie and I enjoyed our first Valentine's Day together at home. Instead of going out to eat, we decided to make food at home. She gave me some wonderful black socks (something I desperately needed). We also got a package from her parents with lots of wonderful goodies.

I want a big kiss...

Here's Katie getting some of the dinner ready

It was a lovely night!

Walking Broadway / American Museum of Natural History

This weekend we went into NYC to engage our minds and be edified. Katie decided not to put on makeup, so she went ahead and did it in “Sephora” which I guess is a cool place, despite all of the weird people in it.

After that we made our way to the American Museum of Natural History. It was a really fun museum with lots of cool exhibits and fossils. We personally liked the lemurs.

After that we walked up Broadway and had Calzones at a great little place on 83^rd. We walked north and went in and out of shops. We even came upon a little restaurant that looks very familiar. Methinks I heard an electric jazz bass playing in the background while I softly said to myself, “Serenity now...”

Lunch with the CFO

On Friday Feb. 1st I had the chance to have lunch with Gary Crittenden, the CFO of Citi. It was so neat to talk to him and get some tidbits of advice. He's a BYU grad and he's doing great things for the company and the church. It was fun to visit NYC even thought it was pretty soggy.

Our Home

This weekend was a little bit more mellow than the other ones. We thought that for this week we'd post some pic's of our little home (which very closely resembles Annie and Steve's home). There are 3 rooms - kitchen, bedroom, family room - and they're all connected in a row. Enjoy!
