Last week my son caught a bad cold because of the cold snap, we expected to move into our new apartment immediately which has floor heating. And it is so close to the place where I do pilates. meanwhile I feel more flexible after few classes. I found I had fallen in love with this kind of exercise. Many of my incorrect posture has been changed by stretching every class. I am very fortunate that I have a respected instructor who is very carefully.
I ordered three tickets for children’s play on Sunday and I am looking forward to that day.

I follow some instagram, some fashion people they come from NY city and they will do some video or vlog. I can see the environment is good and the central park is romantic so I think the city is huge, and people are busy and fashion. Just we 2 and we ordered a tour guide who is chinese student, he drove for me. We go around the city first and then he sent us from NY city to Washington DC. I think Washington DC is politics, so I don’t like the city, it’s boring. NY is multicultural. Because we didn’t subway, we just have a tour guide, he sent us everywhere, so it’s safe and me and my husband we 2 I think the young guy think a couple. My husband loved LV because he love to watch basketball games, we went to see the lakers, we saw James.

I can see the environment is good and the central park is romantic so I think the city is huge, and the people are busy and fashionable. It was just the 2 of us, and we booked a tour (tooo wer) guide who was a chinese student, and he drove for us. We went around the city first and then he drove / took us from NY city to Washington DC. I think Washington DC is political, so I didn’t like it, and also it was boring. NY is multicultural but I’m not sure about the subway because we didn’t go anywhere by subway. We just had a tour guide, who drove us everywhere, so it was safe for us. I think some bad guy would think “oh you’re a couple” so it’s difficult to rob us. My husband loved LasVegas because he loves to watch / loves watching basketball games. Then we went to see the lakers, and / where we saw James.
