SOMEWHERE is Here!

Well I've been waiting for years and WEST SIDE STORY is finally returning to Broadway after all these years and I can't wait to see it! I've always said, "I wish they would bring West Side Story back to Broadway" because I LOVE the movie, the music, the dancing, the story....and I just have to see it come alive on stage. Prices will probably be high, so maybe next year, but I've waited this long so I'll be patiently hoping to see it and hoping they have a cast and production as good as the Rita Moreno, Natalie Wood cast was!

We're "Home Sweet Home" Owners!

Well, as of 2:00 p.m. yesterday it was official! Carmine and I are the proud owners of 83 Heron Court (our first home). Our closing went smooth as can be, we bought paint, Carmine changed the locks, I cleaned the kitchen and now we just can't wait to get back and do more! We'll be changing the carpet, painting most rooms, and replacing 2 sinks. We'll probably bring an air mattress over and spend our first night there this weekend. We'll be officially moving in on November 1st. Can't wait for you all to see it! I'll be sure to post before and after pics as the work gets done. It's like all those make over shows I've watched coming to life...very exciting!!!

Our new address is: 83 Heron Court, Manalapan, NJ 07726

Fall, Football, Family and Friends...

October (thankfully) is moving right along. We have our final walk-thru a week from today and our closing a week from tomorrow. Then the work begins, painting, carpet installing, cleaning, moving, more cleaning, unpacking, decorating, etc. Very exciting! We got together with my friend Sissy for some fun in Red Bank. We ate at Teak (always yummy) and had drinks at Rick's (her husband) bar (Echo). Being the old tired farts that we now are, we had to leave before the Reggae band came on and I couldn't help remember the days when nothing would have had me leaving before the music came on! But, with work, school, and moving Carmine and I are tired most days. Check out some of Sissy's work below (and see her Flickr under My Blog List), she's an amazing photographer! Sunday we went to my little brother's football game, they tied, but played a great game and Chris had a few great plays that left me even more proud then I already always am of him. So cute, so smart, so lovable -- but then I guess I can't help but be bias. And yes, he's just about as tall as me already at 9.
