Update on Easter Weekend Cont'd - Friday (Day 2)

Friday was also a great day! A trip to the Big Apple - joy!
First, we got up super early to catch the bus.

Dad, I'm sorry I forgot to cover my mouth.

But, the bus broke down (that's what you get for $35, right?)


But, in just an hour and a half, we were on our way!
After a long bus ride, we got a little hungry.



Off to sight-seeing we go - with the most amazing tour guide ever (Naomi, NU alumnae).



We saw . . .

The NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE (on Wall St.)

GROUND ZERO

The STATUE OF LIBERTY

TIME SQUARE

TIFFANY'S (on 5th Ave.)

and, finished the evening off with a little birthday surprise at CAFE MOZART

and a little jog over the BROOKLYN BRIDGE - just in time the catch the bus with 2 minutes to spare.


Mmm. What a day. Thanks Naomi!

Al Einstein and I sitting under a tree after a nice little picnic together. He whispered sweet nothings into my ear like: "E=MC squared."



The smartest of minds wouldn't be able to tell me . . .

I've come to a crossroads, a fork in the road, a bind, a really tough decision.

What am I going to do with my life?

With graduation a mere two weeks away, I've gone into panic mode. I'm not sure what I should do with the next few years - even with my next summer.

But, something I've come to realize in the last couple of weeks as I've been studying the idea of "hope vs. optimism" is that unlike optimism, hope is the acknowledgement of truth. To be hopeful is to be faithful - faithful that God will do in his timing. This idea, while seemingly vague, can be directly applied to this situation. The difficulty is applying this knowledge. Ugh.

Easter Weekend - Day 1 (Thursday)

I had a grand weekend with a few of the most grand people I know . . .

It was full of surprises . . .

Filled with many adventures . . .


A bask in the sun . . .

And glorious cake . . .


What an amazing Thursday.
