&

W/drawls

One of the things I missed the most is my neices and nephews

but I think they miss Steve More. Callie couldn't get enough of him, i was so jealous.

Update

One night that I didnt have to study (but probably should have ha ha ha) we picked up some New York Pizza and BiKeD to a park under the Brigde. He surprised me with drinks and chocolate covered strawberries.


Everyone ask if we are enjoying living in NY, I like it, but believe me we would enjoy it a lot better if we weren't broke and going to school.

No matter how much I try I can not get my husband to enjoy a good Broadway, I'm sure the price has something to do with it. He is giving me one more chance and then no more broadways for the Woods.

Put the Top up

Incase you've forgotten our bikes have become
like cars to us. And sometimes its not fun to drive
your car all by yourself, or you really dont feel like
driving @ all.
So lately Steve and I have been pumping
eachother on our bikes.
It was working out until we encountered RAIN
so we just Put the Top Up


Turns out its not normal in New York to get
pumped in the Rain while holding a UmBrella



We got a lot of LooKs (I dont know why)
I am sure they were just thinking
"Why didnt I think of that"
I'll let you know if we started a TrenD

I enVy the CaT

What can I say,

its Finals this Week

and he looks like he's got

"nothing" going on!

StiLL SpoileD

Remember when you were little and your mom
bought you cotton candy

Well mine still does......

She also took us to a sHow or tWo

And entertained us throughout the whole week, we had a BLaST....

THANKS MOM

JaKe & BeRk & HaLLoWeeN

The Jest:

Due to rain and lack of a view we watched the Halloween Parade on scaffolding

Jake Came to Visit as WeLL

Although I'm bias I think Jake will back me up when I say SteVe is a super fun tour guide

he showed him the New Yorker Way... Yep we're New Yorkers now

FriDaY NiTe in BrooKlyn

misCATmunication

You know most cats as kittens are CUTE and then they grow up UGLY. Turns out this isn't always the case (I know "shocker") Steve and I met Kody my girlfriends cat (full grown) and fell in LoVe. The lion cut might have had something to do with it. Steve spent the next couple weeks looking up cats with Lion Cuts....

OuR FaVoRiTe

This is one ticked off Kitty, It's clear the CAT knows that it just got shaved

Where the misCATmunication comes in.....

Steve had spent hours and hours looking up Persian Kittens (i'm thinking WOW he is really wanting a cat) and He's thinking, Traci really has a thing for cats.

So I guess we were in the process of considering a cat.

Then one day I'm kind of sad and Steve's like "hey lets go get a cat". We pull out some $ take a hour bus and subway ride across new york and while traveling and talking, we come to the realization that I thought Steve really wanted a cat, and Steve thought I really wanted a cat.

When really WE BOTH didn't know if we wanted one at ALL.

So here is a PIC of the CAT we didn't GET

Car TrouBle

It was a SAD DAY in the Wood Family
when one of our cars broke down, and by cars I mean bike and by broke down I mean Steve's front wheel was stolen.
Steves "commute" isn't short so he ended up having to wheel his one wheeled bike all the way home
(it took over an hour)

The lose of the one wheel has been devastating on our 2 bike family...

TranSportatioN

We ride our BiKes EveryWhere.

The other day Steve and I biked to IKEA

(see map above)

We even hit up Lowes after and when we walked out with our load people were like "U guys are on bikes?"

Little did they know Steve is very skilled when it comes to riding a BiKe while carrying a million bags and boards of wood.

They said "Accident Waiting to Happen"

My Eye... We made it home perfectly sound

Famous People

So Steve and I go to this ART BATTLE that his friend is in.

We had no idea what we were going to other than

Our names had to be on a LisT, not just any list

THEE LIST.

Turns out it was a pretty big deal.

I now know how pets feel at the pet store window

because so many faces were glued to it

looking in. Dont Worry they weren't looking at me,

(it was the famous people)

Rihanna, Sienna Miller, and others

who I must admit I had to point and ask

"Who's that".

HaPpY BiRtHdaY SteVe

Birthdays are a Pretty Big Deal (atleast to me). Last year I threw Steve a Suprise Party (he was very Suprised) and this year he got Breakfast In Bed (and thats about it) Im still feeling pretty bad about it. I had a huge test that morning and ended up having class from 9 to 9.... Boo

Lucky for me my Family pulled through with massive Birthday phone calls, my Mom and Dave took us out earlier thats where the cake comes into it and my Dad and Tode paid for dinner. Turns out when they called Steve on his birthday and asked him what his plans were for the night he said "Look for a Job, and make Traci dinner." Do you see why I feel Guilty!

I love LOVE the Open

and debated whether I should go
or not because of school,

so I took my books with me
and didnt study a bit.....

the HoNeYmOOn

It all started when we got married....

One of the benefits of getting married is the "forced vacation"

your suppose to go on afterward, known to many as the Honeymoon.

So for those who begged and pleaded to see some pics of our Asia Adventure.

Here U Go

And were in Brooklyn, and I'm in school. It started with the White Coat.... As they helped me put it on many thoughts went through my head but 2 that come to mind are "um i think my coat is too big.... and my life is officially over!"

2 weeks later my coat is still too big and my life is really over. I go to school from 9-5, get home and study till 12 and go to bed.

I will try to post a little more often

ProMise....

Thanks to Kristen and Jo I might just become a decent blogger, if only I can remember all the blogger ways they taught me!!!

Give me time.... Who knows maybe i'll never have enough time to update... but im working on it

Why

I think this "Blog" stuff might be a little to much work for me... I am super impressed with you peeps who can keep this up!
