NYC Week 5

I am starting to feel like we have been here a while now.  Last week we again were spoiled with the weather.  I know it will be a shock for us when the cold, cold weather comes!  I started volunteering at an elementary school through a reading program two days a week.  I enjoy it, and I love being around kids again.  Especially little elementary school kids, they are so cute.  The first time I went to pick one of them up from his classroom, I had to bend down to talk to him.  It was weird walking down the hallway with someone who only came up to my hip!  I am used to my middle school students who were taller than me.

Last week David went to Dunwoody to see a new client for a few days.  Which by the way, it makes no sense to me how he gets a new client when we just moved from there a month ago.  He drove by our old house and said the new owners had just done a few things in the yard, no major changes.

On Friday we were supposed to try out for Who Wants to be a Millionaire, but unfortunately we didn't get there in time:(   We had a pretty low-key weekend.  On Saturday we took the car out to just get it started, we drove up the West Side Highway.  Then, we went to the Natural History Museum, which was nice, but uncomfortably warm while walking around.  David kept walking around the museum saying "ya know what would be a cool movie idea, if they filmed it here and all the animals came alive"...yes, people looked at him like he was crazy.  On Sunday, we took a long walk to Bryant Park, Grand Central Station, FAO Schwartz, and had a relaxing day at home watching the Redskins (another losing game).  That evening we went to dinner at our favorite Indian restaurant.  On Monday I volunteered at the elem. school and then met David for lunch.

It is so crazy to think of how much our lifestyle has changed over the past month.  We went from driving to work everyday, to driving once every 3 weeks for about 15 minutes.  We went from living in a house with a yard, to a tiny apartment with a small balcony.

Busy days are ahead!  My best friend is coming to visit this weekend.  David is out of town for work, and I will be visiting my parents.  Thanksgiving will be here before we know it, and then Christmas will be just around the corner!  I am so excited to be in New York to see all the Christmas decorations  and shop windows.

This morning Oprah was on Good Morning America talking about her show "Life Class".  Joel Osteen is going to be on it the next two Sunday nights, and she got the idea from one of his sermons, "I Am", she heard, and it is so true.  He said "I am....what follows these two simple words will determine what kind of life you are going to live, I am blessed, I am special, or I am slow, or I am anxious............what follows the I am will always come looking for you.....you choose what follows the I am"  Here is the entire sermon, click here

Also, the article about Heaven that I posted last week was also on Good Morning America today!
