To Buffalo NY we go!

Jonathan & I went to school with a wonderful girl named Amanda. Amanda and I were in the same class and went on many an adventure here in Spokane, WA. After our first year of college she moved back home, joined the army reserves and fell in love with a wonderful man. He asked her to marry him and so we headed to Buffalo NY to celebrate their marriage with them.

We flew with United as we had some miles stocked up from paying for flight school. After nearly 9 hours of traveling we arrived in Buffalo and were greeted at the airport by Amanda's fiancee, Dan. (this was our first time meeting him)


Coke from Singapore!

This picture cracked us both up. At least the baby will float!

Flying into Buffalo NY
 We met up with Amanda, just finishing up at her bachelorette party and headed back to their house where Jonathan & I would be staying. We chatted for a while, catching up of course, and concluded that Dan is a really cool guy! We were really excited for Amanda :)

The next morning we got up pretty early so that we could head up to Canada and view Niagara Falls before the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Besides having our car checked at the border (because we borrowed Amanda's car that had no handles on the outside except the drivers door and also no handles to roll down the windows...I am sure they thought we stole it!) and the cold rain the falls were BEAUTIFUL!

Right across the Canadian border! They sure know how to attract the ladies :)












We decided that we wanted to grab a bite to eat before we headed out and stopped at TGI Fridays. We figured that since they were all over the US that the prices had to be like all the others. Boy were we wrong! So we opted for the cheapest thing on the menu, burgers, and enjoyed it a whole lot! 

A sign hanging up in TGI Fridays. I love hippos and couldn't believe this was hanging right next to our table. And yes, I want a hippopotamus for Christmas!


And here is the Welcome sign...so nicely placed where we exited :)

I am a woman of God on a journey. A wife to a wonderful husband. I love baking and cooking and just being crafty. My husband is going through flight school and I am working full time. My hearts desire is to stay at home and make money, have children and just be able to be free from my dreaded job. My mind is so full and cluttered when I go to bed at night that I needed a way to get it all out...
