not sure if anyone is actually reading this any more, but at about 11:30 p.m. we left Saugerties for good and drove the two+ hours to the Newark, New Jersey airport. It's about 5 am now and we're just sitting around waiting for the check-in counter to open up. My flight to Salt Lake leaves at 7 and Tony's leaves a few hours later. We're sitting in some not-so-comfortable chairs because we got kicked off of some nice soft carpet because "they needed to clean it" Yeah, they didn't start cleaning it for like two hours. Jerks.
Anyways, thanks everyone for tuning in. This has been one of our few lifelines to the outside world.

I Love NY!!!
Our great weekend in NYC is over and now we are back in Saugerties getting ready to load up all the hundreds of boxes we've prepared over the last week and a half.
NYC is awesome by the way for all of you who have never visited!!! We had a great time and are so excited to go back next weekend!
My most memorable experience actually happened in Chinatown Saturday night. We found this random restaurant and decided to eat there (it was dinner-time). When we walked in, there was this huge stack of fish tanks that were PACKED FULL with fish. One guy had opened up a tank and was taking out some fish with a net and putting them in a bucket. One of the fish managed to get out of the net and proceeded to flop around all over the floor of the restaurant for a good minute and a half before the guy could get it in the bucket...and then we were seated at our table. Needless to say, we didn't order the fish.
We went to church in a building on the north end of Manhattan up past Harlem yesterday and it was really cool. We met up with Lisa, who used to work in the library and is now doing a summer internship in nyc--she says "hi" to everyone in MAD who remembers her.
Anyways, hope you are all doing well!!! Another update is coming soon!

New York City !!!
We made it !!!
We are in New York City, finally!!!
We worked last saturday, and some extended hours this last week, so we could have this friday (today) off. We're staying at a Marriott (they have a copy of the Book of Mormon in every room!!) in New Jersey.
We went to Times Square today, and also to Little Italy, where we had delicious Italian sandwiches... amazing.
The highlight of the day, though is the following: just when we first arrived today at noon, we decided to go have lunch; we wanted something unique that could not be found anywhere else, something totally local and purely New Yorker... MacDonalds !!!!! Ahem, well, we went and had our meals (which, by the way, cost a few dollars more than we were expecting). As everything in this city seems to be built in inside tall buildings, we went up two floors to the upper level to eat. As is natural, once we were done, we came back down to exit the establishment... and there he rolled... Tony fell down the stairs !!! My right foot popped like you have no idea.
Now, I'm limping as I walk, and it hurts like CRAP !!! My right ankle is swollen, but hasn't turned purple, and I hope it won't. We'll see how it turns out tomorrow morning when I wake up...
But that's not going to impede my having a blast in one of the most important cities in the world, especially after having worked so many hours, lifted so many boxes, and checked so many records...
We're planning to visit the Manhattan Temple tomorrow morning, at 7:30 am, and then go around and visit cool stuff...
I'll keep you all posted on what happens. I promise I will post pictures tomorrow night, so you all can have an idea of how much fun Dan and I are having here, the Coolest city in the world.
BTW, we saw the "Naked Cowboy" today in Times Square... GROSS !!
