28/365 Coaching Columbia Cheer

I have been cheering for a good portion of my life and was so sad when I finished my last year at BYU. I decided I didn't want that to be the end of cheer for me so I've moved on to coaching!  I got so lucky to be with a team as great as Columbia University's. This is a picture of my first game with the team (some are missing). We played Harvard and lost by one point... but the cheerleaders looked great!

21/365 A Night at the Opera

Bryan and I went to an Opera at the Lincoln Center. The theater was stunning with a touch of vintage and old Hollywood glam (not to mention the most stunning chandelier I've ever seen). We had fun dressing up for it! We saw the Opera "Tosca", a beautiful romance ending in a tragedy.  Bryan says he's tired of everything always ending so sadly and that shows need more happy endings. (He wasn't too fond of the Broadway "West Side Story" for the same reason.) Luckily, we can make our own story a happy ending.

14/365 Night Out

This is a picture of us at a work party with Bryan's coworkers.  These are some other analysts and their dates. Bryan and I aren't used to this NYC formal party thing yet so we came a little under dressed. The party was in some fancy restaurant  the bank had rented out.  Since we don't drink we didn't hang out by the open bar but the entire lower level was full of gourmet fabulous food.  People were walking around with trays offering us Hors d'oeuvres. I felt like I was in a movie.

13/365 Go Knicks Go!

Bryan and I went to our first Knicks game! Madison Square Garden is only a few blocks from our apartment so it was nice not having to travel much to get there. We got tickets from my work and they were actually really nice seats! We went with two other people I worked with, Paul and Christine. We love the Knicks but when playing the Jazz we stay true to our roots.
