Back from a glorious weekend in NYC. Thought I'd have city shock, but I didn't. It was kinda impressive.
Barb had never been to NY, so this was her maiden trip. It was cool. We stayed with my cousin Sara Roeder, and she was awesome. We had a GREAT time visiting with her.
I will post pictures later, but we saw The Fantastiks (off-Broadway, but the longest running musical EVER), and rockefeller, times square, madison square garden, WTC, battery park, central park, the met, statue of liberty, and ellis island. We were wiped on the train home.
And then i had a work day on Tuesday, but Barb had to work. Gross.
Its Finally Friday, and she's asleep on the couch. Its only 6:51 and we have a potluck to go to.
Oh! The timer went off. Gotta grab the pie and run!

And we're off...
And just to make sure we start the new year in style, Barb and I are headed out to NYC this weekend. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
We are staying with my awesome cousin in NJ, and we will be out to see the sights and sounds in teacher-fashion. AKA we will be eating cereal in the morning, packing PB and crackers for lunch, and window-shopping. 50% of TKTS booth for day-of Broadway tickets. See if we cain't get a teacher discount for the MET. Going to church at St. Patrick's on Sunday. This is going to be AWESOME.
Especially since I had a half day today (Thurs), a work day tomorrow, Monday off (MLK) and Tuesday is a work day too... I don't teach for nearly a week! WOW.
Not that I don't like teaching. My body is tired tho. Switching back into teaching is HARD.
SO EXCITED.

Back
For some reason, I keep hearing Relient K's "Boxing Day" in my head.
The Holidays ARE over, but that doesn't mean Christ is gone. It doesn't mean that the fun is gone. It just means we are moving on to the next season! We had a good year, now let's have another: Remembering all the good times that we had!
Tomorrow I start work. I flew home on Saturday. Came to an empty house. Barb doesn't get back until Tuesday. Sleeping in the house last night, knowing I was the ONLY ONE in the apartment was creepy. The wind didn't help. It completely DESTROYED the bow on our front door.
Am I ready for work tomorrow? Well, I'm ready to see all my homies: I've missed their joy and their laughter, even their insecurity. Its a blessing to be able to work with children.
New Year's Resolutions?
1. Spend a year with JP2!! Danielle got me a book of daily reflections from JP2's work. I'm sorta in love with that man. Too bad I forgot to do it last night... make up two tonight!
2. Keep better track of where I'm spending my money! Not that its a problem, I just want to get in the habit of keeping my checkbook better!
3. Hang out with TFA people more. Mom was laughing because I only talked about Barb the whole time I got there, and then didn't mention her for the last 3 days, because I ran out of stories. Basically the lesson here is that I need more friends. HAHAHA
4. Find a way to stay fit(ter) in the real world. I ordered an "AM Yoga" DVD today. 5 workouts. Hopefully I will be able to drag myself out of bed and do them!
Lastly, and most importantly, I want to make sure to spend this year touching people's hearts, and being a manifestation of the light of Christ to everyone I meet. Boy do I have a long hard road on that one... :-P
God Bless Us All in this New Year!
