TV/Movie Sites in New York

When JD and I were in New York, we went on a tour to a bunch of locations where TV and movies were filmed. Can you guess what TV show/movie each picture is from?

ANDYou can see the arch when Will Smith walks out of the apartment he is living in. JD is standing in front of Will Smith's apartment.

This apartment is the apartment of Spider-man in Spider-man 2.

The Puck building is also in Will and Grace.

I LOVE the Cosby show. This was my favorite stop.

This apartment is just a couple apartments down from the Cosby apartment.

And finally....

The San Man, Moose, Junkyard Dawg, J Diddy, My Italian Stallion

Are there any other nicknames I missed?

So I usually post about news in our life so that those who would like to stay in touch can, but before I jam up our blog with pictures of the rest of our DC summer (and there are many coming), I just had to add to the many love posts that I've read lately on others' blogs.

So here's to the J Man: It surprises me how I never get bored of him. I can't wait to tell him about my day, I always want to be with him, and we are such good friends. He has seen my bad days, bad hair, bad moods, and loves me despite it all. I'm understanding more and more how love causes you to grow and change, and that through that, your definition of love grows and changes. I'm still at the beginning of the love journey, but I like it!

Even More Pics

Today JD and I 'happened' to be at Mom Santini's office when Elder Holland 'happened' to be there. It was great to meet him!



JD, Mark, and I went to Mama Mia for my birthday at the National Theater.My sweetie. I love musicals!
JD and I got a tour of the capitol building. This is a picture of the first Supreme Court chamber.

We were in the Senate building and thought we'd stop by to give O'bama some pointers. It would have taken too long, so we just took a picture. :c)
We met with the ambassador of Malaysia for lunch in the House dining room. She was a delightful woman and probably one of the smallest women I've met!

More of the Capitol building.

We are standing on the direct center of DC. All of the streets build out from here.

We've also been going to the nieces' and nephews' summer ball games. Here is Landon and his sweaty hairdo.

Summer Pictures- June

JD's dad works for the National Tour Association-- which means he takes us to cool stuff! We went on a boat down the Potomac River to the brand new Gaylord resort. It was unbelievable! I've never seen something so huge. We went to a special reception with real live bouncers (they DO wear black!) and enjoyed "horse-duvers". We looked like party crashers because we were cruising around taking pictures of everything. But we were invited!!
Holding the 'reserved' card looking all important.
JD chillin'A lovely flavored soda to cool me down.
This is in the lobby of the hotel. It was amazing.

In from of the Potomac River- but that wasn't our boat. It just looked cool.
Waiting for our boat.

This is called the 'Awakening'.

For Mark's birthday we went bowling upon his request. It was a blast!
Dad the-one-armed-Santini kept everyone in line.Go Mom Santini!!

Happy Birthday Mark!

DC Summer

It's been a while since our last post, but we've been SUPER busy! What a summer! To start off, JD has been working for Senator Reid for about a month. He is a part of the Democratic Policy Committee. It's been a super cool experience so far. Today was one of the big hearings. I was able to attend and it was really interesting. The medical expert that testified in the Erin Brockovich case testified today. Check out the news article!

I have been busy with my summer job. I've loved it. I help teens with disabilities in the inner-city to prepare for and find jobs. I teach interviewing skills, visit students on job sites, teach proper behavior, and how to dress appropriately. I am working for the Marriott Foundation. It's been a great eye opening experience. There are such awful conditions in DC. I've been in the area and in the schools and it is appauling that there are kids in the United States who receive such poor education. The schools floored me. Deplorable. But though the kids have no idea what proper behavior is, they are still the same as the kids in the rest of the US. They are great.

We haven't done a ton of touring yet, but have some things planned. We are just enjoying learning about regular life here. It's sooo different from Montana!

As soon as we take some pictures (we keep forgetting to bring the camera with us) I'll post them.
Stay tuned.....
