My talented niece on American Idol! How cool is that?!?

Home Sweet Home

We are home at last! The bridal show yesterday in Council Bluffs was a huge success for us. We signed up many new brides (and grooms). I will be posting entries from the video booth contest we had yesterday soon. Brides and grooms video taped their "How we met story." or "Our proposal." I will post the winners as well as a few others on our photo booth rental website.

Leaving New York, waiting in the hotel lobby for our shuttle to the airport.

Day 5 NYC

We rode the city tour bus again today. This bus was fully enclosed and much warmer. We hopped off the bus and boarded the Staten Island Ferry, which took us around the Statue of Liberty. We hit some shops, bought souvenirs, and took a lot of night time photos. We will be flying to Omaha tomorrow. We will begin setting up for the Bridal Show on Sunday at the Mid America Center in Council Bluffs. We are sad to be leaving NYC, but look forward to getting home.

NYC Day 4

We rode a double decker bus with an open top in windy 15 degree weather. We froze as we toured downtown through Greenwich, SOHO, Wall Street, Ground Zero, China Town, Brooklyn Bridge, United Nations Building, along with several shopping districts.
The highlight of day 4 was of course the Wicked musical. Jessa will share her thoughts and feeling about Wicked.
Jessa has no comments about Wicked because it was too amazing to describe.
Thank you Jessa...

NYC Day 3

New Year's Eve
We entered our stockade at 2pm for the midnight ball drop in Times Square. While waiting in the freezing cold weather, Obama passed within five feet of us. So did Taylor Swift, Lionel Ritchie, Carson Daily, and the Jonas Brothers. Later in the day, people passed out free pepsi scarves, ugly blue nivea hats that everyone wore, and balloons for people to wave. Jeff got interviewed by an ABC newscaster, and thanks to our huge red Nebraska banner, our picture was taken several times. There were a lot of police officers, most of which were very friendly. They took pictures for people locked in their stockades and retrieved beach balls, balloons, and other items.
This years' ball was new and cost over $5 million. Lots of confetti and balloon dropped after Clinton pressed the button. Getting back to the hotel afterwards was a challenge. The streets were buried in trash and confetti. We saw a group of mounted police and saw the fireworks in Central Park. Everyone trying to go in a different direction.
Happy New Year!

NYC Day 2

This morning we walked through Central Park. We saw several horse drawn carriages, skateboarders pulled by dogs, bicyclists, and joggers. We exited the park near the Museum of Natural History. The line to get in was waaay around the back side, so it took awhile to get in. The inside wasn't anything like the movie Night Museum. This museum is huge!
After the museum we hit several suvenir shops. We also stopped at Charmin's Gotta Go. This isn't an ordinary public restroom, it was entertaining and FREE!
We then went to our first broadway show - 13 - which has all child actors. Jessa got her pic taken with Grahm Phillips from Evan All Mighty, along with a couple others. She also collected some autographs. We will be seeing Wicked on the first.
