A weekend in NY

I've finally found the time to upload my pictures from the Long Island trip. It was a great weekend. Friday night Kim and I met up with one of her friends at a local Bar. Going to a Bar was a first for me. Kim felt convicted for being the one to introduce me to that scene, and thus corrupting me....haha. I really enjoyed it though.

Saturday morning was filled with running errands, going to the gym and spending 2hrs at the hair salon. Early that evening we met up with two of Kims friends, Lauren and Lisa. It was Laurens birthday and she wanted to celebrate it in the City. So the four of us hoped on a train and within an hour we were in NYC!! Woohoo!!
I love NYC and it has been at least two years since I've last been there. We didn't stay long though, just long enough to grab some supper. Lauren had plans to meet up with some other people later on. But I enjoyed the few hrs we were there anyhow!!

The pictures below are from Sat. evening in NYC.

We had great fun....yes great fun. :) Sunday I was able to go to her church and eat lunch with her and her sister before heading back to the dorm Sunday night.

Yay for the weekend!

Oh it's a lazy thursday night and I am putting off studying until after the Office is on tonight. So naturally I'm surfing the web :) I love reading everyone's blogs and I do check them often- so thanks for all the updates and pictures :) I wish I had some pictures to post but I haven't taken any recently.
However this weekend I am going to Long Island with my friend Kim. She is from L.I. and just recently moved to lancaster county. Anyway I looking forward to the weekend. She has a friend who has a birthday on saturday and wanted to celebrate it in the big city :) So I'm super excited. It's been so long since I've been to NYC. I know it will just be for a few hours sat, but I'm still stoked! I'm sure I'll have plenty of stories to tell as well as pictures to share!

Ok maybe I should be more productive with my time...perhaps I'll crack open a textbook and try to absorb some information :) I am feeling slightly guilty knowing there's much to be studied and I know none of that is going to happen this weekend!!

Oh by the way, just a random piece of information...this weekend that big tree in our front yard is going to be cut down. There are so many dead branches it's ridiculous and when we got an estimate on what it'd cost to have trimmed they told us the tree is dying and recommended we just cut it down. I'm a little sad to see it go....
