Either way..whoever gets him? Jimmer show. If i have to become a knicks fan..sure why not. as long as i am watching the jimmer show.

Ironically enough, i heard this song becuase the person that this involves..posted it on fb. So i have no idea if they are trying to tell me something or not, or if its completly coincidentle. Either way..here ya go.
The ice is getting thinner-death cab for cutie
We're not the same, dear, as we used to be
the seasons have changed and so have we
there was little we could say and even less that we could do
to stop the ice from getting thinner under me and you
we buried our love in the wintery grave
a lump in the snow was all that remained
but we stayed by its side, as the days turned to weeks
and the ice kept getting thinner with every word that we'd speak
when the spring arrived, we were taken by surprise
when the flows under our feet led into the sea
and nothing was left of you and me
we're not the same dear it seems to me
there's nowhere we can go with nothing underneath
then it saddens me to say what we both knew were true
Last night we slept out on the deck!! It was quite the adventure:) Yet again..my camera would not cooperate..but i tried my best.
And yes..that is my dog..mitzi. We tried to get her to come sleep outside, but she got cold. She last about 20 minutes haha
Sleepin under the stars:) one of my most favorite things to do!
So then we got up bright and early and went hiking up stewart falls! We were not that surprised when we ran into lots and lots of snow!
The beginning of the hike
There was so much snow this year, that there were slides everywhere. This here is a tree that had been ripped out, and covered the trail. This picture doesn't even do it justice!!
The pretty view
On one of the slides
The coolest dad on the planet!!
On the other side of the slide
stewart falls:) all snowied up
The hikin crew
This is not us, but i just wanted to show how scary this was. The slide was completly covering the trail at this point. We had so practically slide across, and it was crazy scary!
Sledding in june!
All these trees had fallen into the trail and we had quite the adventure climbing up and over these babies.
We made it to the end!
-this week has been amazing! My dad stayed home all week, and we did something fun every day as a family! It was nice to just have a week to spend time with my family. It didn't cost hardly any money, or time to plan, so that made it so much fun! thanks dad for being the coolest dad ever! love you so much!-
