NYC

NYC Trip was a blast.

The first day I got there was crazy long but a blast. Jessica and I went to Time Square...well we now know that it's a bad idea to go to Time Square on a Saturday. So many people...way overwhelming. It was fun though. Then we went to Central Park. We got a tour of it on one of those bicycle carriage things, where a guide pulls a cart that tourist sit in by a bike. It was awesome. Central Park is huge and Jessica and I would of never got through it if we didn't do the bicycle thing. The guy took us through the whole park within an hour and we even stopped at different places to take pictures.

Sunday was church and it was good. Yay for Easter! Jessica and I took it easy after we left before the bilingual Spanish/English service. I think I was getting tired of being around people. I think we may have just walked around Soho a little.

Monday I went with Jessica to class. Interesting I guess. I got bored because I didn't care about the subject. Monday afternoon was spent shopping in Soho or Union Square I can't remember now. Then Jessica and I got to meet up with our friend Jeehoon who also goes to school in NYC. It was like a Wright State reunion. It was awesome.

Tuesday Jessica and I went to Chinatown. AAAAAAAHHHHHHH Jeehoon told us that there would be a lot of people and there was. I also didn't know how huge Chinatown is. Oh my goodness. Craziness. Tuesday night we went to Jeehoon's symphony orchestra performance for the music school he goes too. It was at Lincoln Center. It was an awesome performance.

Wednesday Jessica and I went shopping in Union Square in the afternoon after we went to work on some choreography in one of the dance studios. It was fun. Then in the evening we got to hangout with Jessica's friend Lisa. It was a great time. We went to the Pier and had dinner by the Brooklyn Bridge. Tons of fun.

I can't remember what day we went to the Brooklyn Bridge during the day. But that's the day I got to have my New York hot dog. It was yummy.
Jessica and I were also able to work on my wedding stuff while I was there. It was good.
I know now how much I don't like subway stations and having to travel by bus everywhere if you can't or don't want to walk to where you are going. Too many people. I like NYC but I don't know how people live there. Everyone is always rushing everywhere and I don't want to have to do that. I was also not use to walking so much. My legs were so tired and my ankles hurt too. I am now recuperating.
I also know now that I really don't like airports.

Now I'm back in Ohio and I'm very grateful for living in a rural suburb area. It's nice to see grass more often than just buildings and streets everywhere.

Something random about NYC, tons of people have dogs...it's strange but there are signs everywhere that say curb your dog.

A great trip. I loved hanging out with Jessica. I can't wait to see her in a handful of months for my wedding. :-)

God is Good.

Leavin' on a jet plane...

For the first time ever, I will be traveling alone. I'm going to NYC Saturday!!!!!!!!!!!! To visit my best friend Jessica!!!!!!!!!!! We are both extremely excited!!!!!! It's gonna be an awesome trip to visit her and have lots of fun with church and visiting other friends and shopping. :-)

So I have the NYC song from Annie in my head just the part that goes like this "NYC, just got here this morning, three bucks, two bags, one me..."

Last year at this time, for Easter, was the first official family thing I went to for Josh's family. This year I'm missing it cause I'm going to NYC, sad but it's okay. I do wish Josh were here to celebrate Jesus' resurrection. I know church at Antioch is gonna be awesome with Jessica.

I'm also kind of bummed that I'm missing church in Marysville, cause I actually like the songs for the Easter Cantata. Oh well, life happens.

When I get back from NYC I write all about it.

I can't wait. This time tomorrow I might be chillin' in Central Park with my bestie! :-)
