Bought furniture and then sold all of our things to move to Juneau, Alaska. New jobs. New friends. Lost very dear family members. Explored Southeast Alaska and the Northwest of the United States. Met Sarah Palin. Obama became president. Lost our jobs. Traveled to NY, PR, FL, SC, NC, and stopped in Baltimore, MD. New jobs again. New friends. Turned 30. Found out there will be a new Lewis. And these are just the bullet points! What a amazing and fantastic decade! I am very excited about what's to come!</span></div>Jenyferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04019797697937988622noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6408221616005482389.post-26014811346205474512009-12-28T12:00:00.006-05:002009-12-28T12:23:49.517-05:00The Holidays<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpy9oNp1tb51LwOiu5qoPzZKmI1TsCXz-DzeWhUsG6EvQdW-A9M9M5kwn7rmoLRIBzILr8_l7G1MMgq8Z5qgPQRXBCUXEDfsAPtbOiPik0P1tCHhcjzgrF1d1BoZw2IxWA-Tu-G2Ratr8/s1600-h/09+ChristmasinPR_447_2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpy9oNp1tb51LwOiu5qoPzZKmI1TsCXz-DzeWhUsG6EvQdW-A9M9M5kwn7rmoLRIBzILr8_l7G1MMgq8Z5qgPQRXBCUXEDfsAPtbOiPik0P1tCHhcjzgrF1d1BoZw2IxWA-Tu-G2Ratr8/s400/09+ChristmasinPR_447_2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5420333663949233586" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">The holidays are such a fun time.

We met up with a few of Beth's friends and had a fantastic Thai dinner before we took the train back to Bronxville.</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new', -webkit-fantasy;"><br /></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new', fantasy;">Grand Central Station</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new', fantasy;"><br /></span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EGXWB_MLLCvL6ioTCUoJrDyzb3GDqrzH473I8CJn4k42iUYmBASsR2FNwLRo72qV1X_GFzllc3J-B0tD5BDcHYweAXtDgvcvuBUmT67OokG8sdDlEQTL6zHgI-Ak5M6O7D9m16QhYFs/s1600-h/09+junejuly+NY+_8Artscapemosaic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3EGXWB_MLLCvL6ioTCUoJrDyzb3GDqrzH473I8CJn4k42iUYmBASsR2FNwLRo72qV1X_GFzllc3J-B0tD5BDcHYweAXtDgvcvuBUmT67OokG8sdDlEQTL6zHgI-Ak5M6O7D9m16QhYFs/s400/09+junejuly+NY+_8Artscapemosaic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360926413573994770" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGUXb0Y_lP3cfhBnNU50QGHHV0QoXjqSmhDfphQBQyRar-m2e0WjXGlPXTpTlwvrETWDn3z6ay-vGKAUMXV2VtEdUG-Qf2HeXxArABQZDrwAR4_RyZ67bAPPU1ZmWeVFF_23umgUuaK0/s1600-h/09+junejuly+NY+_14Artscapemosaic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 266px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirGUXb0Y_lP3cfhBnNU50QGHHV0QoXjqSmhDfphQBQyRar-m2e0WjXGlPXTpTlwvrETWDn3z6ay-vGKAUMXV2VtEdUG-Qf2HeXxArABQZDrwAR4_RyZ67bAPPU1ZmWeVFF_23umgUuaK0/s400/09+junejuly+NY+_14Artscapemosaic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360926321407910434" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1krJxhGPSogtxTfmX217YtdztFUX84GXqnucem6Jdh4gZDj3V8J3xVL9Hb9a6_wkljhdrCyr7gHpbWrcHDDguHquO1ox7SFuecxP1-V0ZRr6G78nN3Ed_97zVce8K2KUTB0AIQCgGCY/s1600-h/09+junejuly+NY+_15Artscapemosaic.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjm1krJxhGPSogtxTfmX217YtdztFUX84GXqnucem6Jdh4gZDj3V8J3xVL9Hb9a6_wkljhdrCyr7gHpbWrcHDDguHquO1ox7SFuecxP1-V0ZRr6G78nN3Ed_97zVce8K2KUTB0AIQCgGCY/s400/09+junejuly+NY+_15Artscapemosaic.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5360926242312803122" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'courier new';">Beth recommended that we go to the Met.
