I put together my new standing desk at work today! Took awhile, but I like it a lot.

Group wedding pic

We did remember to take one picture at the reception!

The wedding

Eva and Leslie got married at Mills Mansion in Saturday, which was beautiful, and then had a reception at Eva's parents house. Everything was beautiful and it was great to catch up with some old college friends.

The Happy House

Our rental house for the weekend had a nice name.

Crystal lake

Kyle and I went for a beautiful fall run in and around rhinebeck Saturday morning.

Dessert in Rhinebeck

We drove out of the city, through New Jersey, to rhinebeck NY to stay for the weekend. We are staying in a nice house and it is crisp and fall-y here, which is glorious. We had a delicious dinner and are looking forward to an excellent weekend!

Highline park

The park was really neat and very popular. There was also a rather apropos sign.

Hot dog break!

Wandering

Kyle and I tried to get a cro-nut this morning but the line was too long. Later we wandered around Chelsea to see the water and then head back Highline Park, which is along an old raised railroad and is super cool.

Ice cream

We got some ice cream after a delicious Thai dinner. Yum!

American natural history museum

Stephi, Kyle, and I went to the museum and saw the Hayden planetarium show (with some film of Neal degrasse-Tyson) and some neat other sections, including about oceanography stuff!

Lunch!

We met David for lunch near Rockefeller center.

Fox

David had to work Thursday and Friday and did so at the New York branch of his law office, which is in the Fox News building.

Espresso + Nutella

Thursday morning I tried a delicious new drink at Moda coffee house!

Dinner at Coffee Shop

David and Stephi drove up from DC to stay with us in NYC! They got in late Wednesday but then we all went out for some food and drinks.

good fans!

Lyndon B Johnson Library

Another presidential library down! Kyle and I have now seen two of the thirteen. I learned a lot here about Johnson, who really did a ton of great stuff, from civil rights to environmental protections. His presidency was largely overshadowed by the Vietnam war.

Tracie and Ray!

Kyle's parents are in town this weekend! We went out for pizza last night and they had to play Donkey Kong. Today we are having a nice breakfast out before going to the LBJ presidential library.

Drive through liquor barn

The other day in College Station I stopped by the drive through liquor barn for the first time. Such an odd thing! I bought two alcoholic slushies and it is legal to drive with them because the tape on top makes them "tamper proof."
