Sabbatical

Hello my three followers! I took a sabbatical and didn't tell you. Truth is - it was an unplanned break. I took a temporary job in NYC for the month of November and got carried away with life down there. Met up with old friends and new friends and lots of family. It was bliss. But I'm back! And ready to dive back into telling you all about my life. Or at least the exciting parts of it anyway ;-) The below photos are random mobile uploads to catch you up on the little things that I've experienced the past few weeks. Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! Many prayers and blessings for each of your families. Can't wait for Christmas to get here!!!

My first real tree! This angle is also a lie. This tree is about 3 feet tall. Very Charlie Brown style. But it's mine.

This is a photo my brother Dan painted. I'm so proud of him! He's such a talented artist. It is now the background on my new phone (see below)!

I'm currently interviewing for jobs. While on an interview in Boston a few weeks ago, I went strolling around the area afterward. I found this gem of a location. Right in downtown.

That's my church! Our 'T' ads!

They are everywhere :-)

Random visit down to Philadelphia to see Michelle. We went to the Franklin Institute and experienced a CSI exhibit. It was actually really cool.

From a moment during my temping job in NYC. I sat for my roommates dog, Ollie, and brought him to NYC for two weeks. He got to come to work one day and he looooooved it.

My grandpa and Ollie and Thanksgiving morning <3

A little pickle ball with the cousins on Thanksgiving

Jingle Bells... question mark? They weren't sure? It WAS Jingle Bells playing. Who knows.

My dad had a BLAST with Ollie around for two weeks

When we went out for lunch and came back one day, he had done some damage, though, LOL

Merry Christmas from NY!

I call it "Dog and his City" (view from my parents condo. ya.)

My new phone! I'm so in love!!!

This is called a Hot Cocoa Tini. It's hot chocolate, baileys, and vanilla vodka in a martini glass, warmed like hot cocoa. YES.
