New York, New York Here We Come

So here are some pis of our visit to New York. I'll be honest, the quality of pics is not great, sorry Tara and peeps who are experts haha but here they are...

I give you Time Square!! Not that no ones seen it before, but its fun to see all the glam and crazy characters haha... there are a couple through out my pics.

... ....

Daves first Broadway show which im pretty sure he really liked.

It was so fun waitin in line for hours for Tickets, playin around Central Park, walkin down Fifth Ave, eatin at the crazy Burger Joint, and enjoying the Phantom. We were very tired but our first day in NYC was awesome :) I wouldnt have had such a great time if I wasnt sharing it with my wonderful, sexy man!!

... .....

Waitin in line for our cruise ride...Becca got quite irritated with obnoxious nut cases and Davey had to harness her back for these peoples safety but besides the break downs we survived ok.

Ellis Island, beautiful place

Statue of Liberty in front of Manhattan

Us tryin to take this pic ourselves... Not so good haha

Our second attempt, the person didnt even get the statue in... so also not so good

Third attempt... Finally something close to what we wanted!

Ellis Island was one of our favorite things to do. Just seeing in such detail all the things that happened in this building and what this meant to the immigrants was very eye opening to me. I couldnt help but feel incredibly grateful for the blessing of being an American citizen at birth.

And we went to a METS game!! I gotta be honest I had quite a good time there. We bought some sweats and a mets T, and the game was a pretty good one. Plus Bryce and Shae were with us so it was a fun lil double date :) PS the mets won! A perfect end to a perfect day

Brooklyn Bridge on a windy windy day.


Hamiltons Grave site at the beautiful Trinity Church

White House Garden Party

Ok Kathie, I'm filling your request for more posts haha, hope you enjoy them!!!

Davey got tickets to White House Garden Tour and it was very fun :)

The West Wing, the Oval Office

The East Patio, where we'll have lunches some day... haha

Eisenhowers putting green was Daves favorite part

Michelle's Kitchen Vegetable Garden, My favorite part :)

There were cool pics of the White House through history and it was really interesting to view such inspiring events that transpired through the past in the very spot they were taken. We were very happy for this opportunity!!

The Personality Test

Yesterday Daves Office had him take a Personality/Color test and he emailed me the results. I thought it had been a while since I've taken one, so I did. I think Daves Color matches him So well!

David ended up being...


White (Motive: Peace)
Whites are motivated by Peace. They seek independence and require kindness. They resist confrontation at all costs. To them, feeling good is more important than being good. They are typically quiet by nature, process things very deeply and objectively with great clarity. Of all the colors, whites are the best listeners. They respect people who are direct but recoil from perceived hostility or verbal battle.

And My color was...

Yellow (Motive: Fun)
yellows are motivated by Fun. They are inviting and embrace life as a party that they're hosting. They love playful interaction and can be extremely sociable. They are highly persuasive and seek instant gratification. yellows need to be adored and praised. While yellows are carefree, they are sensitive and highly alert to others' agendas to control them. yellows typically carry within themselves the gift of a good heart

I thought both of them were pretty close although I probly have a lot more Red then they said haha Poor Dave and his nutty wife.

If you wanna take the test go to colorcode.com

Maryn serving in DC?!

So, as most everyone knows by now, Daves sister was transferred from Mongolia to Arlington, Virginia which just so happens to be in our stake! Her mission president has been so nice in allowing her a couple contacts with us. So here are some pics of Maryn and Dave reunited :) Its been really fun.

Our first meeting, at Stake Conference, where we met her companions and such

Sister Lee asked me if I would drive her group of sisters to Mount Vernon on their preparation day, which I was totally happy to. It was perfect weather and a really fun activity. The sisters were incredibly sweet, we became friends instantly.

Mount Vernon is so beautiful. Dave and I are planning to model our house exactly like Washingtons...

Patty Lee got special permission from Maryns president to take her and her companion to lunch one day. So Uncle Ken, Patty, Mike, Jean and Dave got to accompany Maryn to Rio Grande. I wasnt there because MY sister was in town and I had the opportunity to show her the sights. Abbey took all the pictures so I dont have any to post... sorry girl. I'll steal one from your page. Anyway, it was a great day for the Lee Fam.

Davey Dukes, Cute cute Preston (wing man of Mayhem), and Mar Bear

AND WE HAD A BABY!
haha jk, we were at Mikes BD party and thats Janas new baby Cate. Beautiful thing. So what do you think? Could we pull it off?
P.S. Maryn was hard at work this day... not partying with us hooligans

And the last thing, on her P-day, I drove the companionship to see the cherry blossoms at Tidewater Basin. Jefferson Memorial is right there so thats where we are. The blossoms were lovely and so were the sisters.

On this trip down town we stopped in and had a tour of the capital building and surprise surprise David was our fabulous tour guide!! It was so fun to see my man in action, sharing his knowledge with his sister and companion. Maryn was taking pics of Dave the whole time haha it was really cute :)

Of course we couldnt pass up the chance to stand by Robert E. Lee and pose. Yes, I was in the original, Yes, I looked like a fool. so you get nothing but my awesome thumbs up...



Obviously I kept in touch with Kathie Lee through the experiences we got to share with Maryn, and as we talked it became more and more evident to me that Heavenly Father does have a plan for each of us and a lot of times he somehow intertwines them together giving everyone an opportunity to grow and help others grow as well. Its an amazing thing to be a part of.

We Love you Mar, and are so Proud of you :)

Date Night at Chadwicks in Old town Alexandria (with my new purse! Thanks Jean!)

The view outside Chadwicks of the Potomac River was so beautiful. Our birthday date was so fun not only for the green, drunken parties surrounding our table but because Dave and I talked a lot about what our life options are after his internship ends in April. It was pretty exciting talking about what each of us wanted to do for this summer and where we wanted to go for law school.

Dave and I went on a lil day trip that weekend to Old town Williamsburg which was fun to see the old house and shops, then we stopped over and took a tour of William & Mary Law school that made Davey really wanna go there, and then we hung out at this lil beach around Jamestown area. I LOVED the time we spent together and the things we got to see that weekend. I'm really thankful for this opportunity to live back here, it's been such an unforgettable experience :)

The cutest apron Jana and Patty gave me, Jana's incredibly talented

Thank You everyone for making my birthday so fun and memorable :)
It really really meant a lot to me!
