Work Travels: Philadelphia & NY

Image
By

So recently for work I was able to travel to Philadelphia and New York.  It was a blast. Successful conferences, family, and friends. I couldn't of asked for better trips. I seriously love my job. I feel so blessed everyday to do something I love so much. So here are some highlights from each trip:

Philadelphia:
  • Saw my friend Dan from college, met his girlfriend, and ate an authentic Philly Cheese-steak with Cheese Wiz. It was delicious. Seriously. It was fun to see him and catch up. It had been a long time.
  • Went out to dinner with my Aunt Janette and Uncle Lance. We went to this amazing Italian restaurant. It is located right across the street from an Opera Academy so each waitor is an opera singer. Every 10-15 minutes they break out in to some beautiful aria. What a treat. The food was great as well. It was fun to catch up with them and see their new house. It's a charming row house located in a great area. How I love the east coast. Also this is huge news for me: I ate a muscle! I hate all seafood but my uncle challenged me to eat it. It wasn't the worst thing.
  • Walked around the city and saw many great historic things
Fruit Stands!

City Center
More of the city center. Love the architecture.
This chandelier is in my aunts house and is made from things found in the city of Philly.
Row Houses: These ones are 300 years old!
Ate dinner in the room where George Washington was inaugurated.
What a beautiful city
 New York:
  • Went into the city on Thursday night and had fun exploring and eating delicious pizza with my friend Kate!
  • Drove around with a co-worked and saw so many beautiful estates along the Hudson. I could just die. Those who know me well know I am obsessed with large homes.
  • Dinner with my Aunt Lori and Uncle Joe. It was so much fun catching up on family and our lives. It has been far too long since I had seen them. It was truly a wonderful night.


Best. Pizza. Ever.

My fantastic friend Kate!

    1.) I am so so jealous of your job! Looks amazing.
    2.) I am so so jealous you got to go to the east coast. I miss living there...my parents are moving away from Philly in 3 weeks, and i keep telling them to eat as many cheese steaks as they can :) ha.

    You have the best, most exciting job in the world! I dream about traveling abroad so much that I forget there are really cool things to see right here in the good ol' U.S. of A!

UPDATE:  Hello Everyone! I have noticed that this post has been receiving a lot of traffic via pinterest and The Dating Divas Website. I wanted to welcome you all.

Big News!

By
So this is big news for the Power family. I know many of you know a million other people who are currently pregnant but before you roll your eyes and skip over this post completely (ha), read on and hear a little bit about our story. I am currently 20 weeks pregnant. We just found out yesterday that we are expecting a baby girl. She is due to enter this world on January 3, 2012. So far she is healthy and growing strong. She is growing about a week ahead of schedule. Maybe she'll come early...like before the end of the year. Derek and I will celebrate our 3rd anniversary on the 16th of January...so not too long after our sweet girl is born. A little about us: Derek: One of the things I love most about Derek is how patiently he accepts trials in his life. He always has such a good atitude about what life has handed him. When he was 11 or 12 he was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. Then at age 19 he was diagnosed with Lymphoma Cancer.  He has now been in remission for 5

32 Weeks

By
32 weeks, 2 days here How Far Along: 32 weeks, 4 days Size of the Baby:  Almost 4 pounds and about 17 inches long Weight gain/loss: 3.6 pounds in the last month bringing me to 12.6 pounds total Sleep:  It's gotten worse. Oh well. At least the trains are the least of my worries now. Any sleep advice for the 3rd trimester? I'll take any I can get. I wake up with the worst back and abdomen pain and I have to rotate multiple times throughout the night since my hips, legs, arms, and hands all start going numb. ha I am ready to buy a recliner and sleep sitting up. It might work out better. Best Moment of the Week: My birthday and my baby shower. (More to come on these later) How could you not have an awesome week with those two things in the mix? Movement: Lots of rolling and jabbing. I feel like the past couple days she has been moving more constantly. I am loving it. Only two other people have felt her move besides her parents - Samantha and Jamie
