help!!!

so arron and i are going to NEW YORK in December for my birthday/Christmas....HOORAY, i'm pretty excited because i have never been to New York and plan on being the ultimate tourist, you know: foam statue of liberty hat, camera around my neck, the whole bit...but hotels are OUTRAGEOUS, and i was wonder if any of you; friends or blog stalkers, have been to new york and know any tricks that might help in finding reasonably priced lodging? :) thanks, love you all.

GoOd bYe SumMeR!!

Its been an amazing summer at the echols house, and i'm so sad to see it come to an end, but... I LOVE THE FALL, so its bitter sweet. its a little harder to go boating when its 60 degrees outside and the water temperatures lower then that, but how do complain about the smell of fall, snow skiing and all the holidays to come? You dont!!! you just embrace every season while it lasts.....thats why i live in UTAH!!!

So what better way to send summer out with a bang then to go to one of my favorite places on earth with some of my favorite people. Arron and i took a bunch of our friends up to our cabin and even though the weather was a little less then perfect, we still got in plenty of boating, tubing, water skiing and wake boarding to hold us over until next summer, along with a sufficient amount of eating, playing games and relaxing. We had such a blast!!!!! So i'm saying good bye to summer and hello to fall. Thanks for the great memories!

CONGRATULATIONS BABE!!!

Arron passed the final section of the CPA exam, we found out today, and i'm freaking out. i'm so proud of him, he has worked so hard over the past 18 months studying his little butt off. He is officially a certified public accountant. So for everyone who has supported him and been pulling for him, its finally over. HE DID IT.
~Great job babe, i love your guts!!!!!!!!!
