Update

I'm all moved in and almost finished unpacking. More to follow soon...

New Job...well sort of

So I have a new job...well sort of. I am still working at Music Makers teaching piano and voice, and now I will also be working for a pop violinist, Cara-C. She has her bachelors and masters degree from Juillard in violin performance. She is an AMAZING musician! The good news...I am getting to use my degree, since I am helping her with music business stuff, as well as music editing, and also getting to do a little singing as well. Yeah for using my degree!! The bad news...its in LA and it is an internship, but luckily my hours are flexible so I miss all the horrible traffic!

In other news, the big move of 08 is still going on. I really should be packing right now, but then I would have to admit to myself that we are really leaving. This is harder than I thought it would be.

Goodbye #504!

Today is the last day of our apartment still looking like our apartment. :( Kelsey's mom is flying in today to help her pack up. We move our stuff into storage this weekend, and move out completely next weekend. We started this project as a little tour of our apartment and you can see what it has become. We had the best time making this and laughing the whole time. Its been a great 2 and a half years. I am going to miss it here, and miss Kelsey even more!

The Big Move

Life is crazy and everything is changing. I was in New York, and then traveled to Portland, and now I am moving out of my beautiful apartment. Kelsey and I officially gave our notice and as of November 16 we will no longer be residents of the "nuthouse". Kelsey is moving to Greece and I am well...not really sure yet. :) Its overwhelming, exciting, and terribly nerve racking all at the same time. It is comforting to know that God has it all figured out, I just wish He would let me in on the plan. So if I vanish in the next month or so, you know why. Oh and I am also studying for the GRE...good thing since I have recently discovered that I have forgotten everything I ever learned about math!

I Want to be Apart of It...New York...New York!

Sorry it has taken me so long to post about my New York trip. It has been a crazy couple of weeks as I am trying to figure out what I am going to be doing with my life when my roommate, Kelsey moves to Greece. There is so much to say about my time in New York, that I am going to have to spread it out in a bunch of posts...so here comes day one/two!

Kelsey and I left our apartment at 4:00am in order to get to the airport on time. Our flight left at 6am...NOT FUN! Neither one of us slept the night before so we were feeling charged and ready to go. The trip started out with a bang as we stood in line at the wrong terminal for 30min and then found out that we were in the wrong place. We quickly dashed over to American (we were at Alaska since we used Alaska frequent flyer miles), a mere half mile run, and got ourselves all checked in! Fortunately for us we were seated next to a very friendly man who decided to be quite chatty at 6am! We flew from LAX to Houstan, then from Houstan to La Guardia in NYC. From there we took a taxi to our cute little apartment/hotel on the upper east side. It was a great area!

The fun really began the next day when Kelsey and I after a full nights sleep headed down to rockerfella center to take the NBC Studios tour. Our tour guide happened to by Biola graduate and knew few of our friends back home. :)
After the tour Kelsey and I took quite a walk to the empire state building.


This was my 3rd time to NYC and my 2nd time at the empire state building. It was a little cold and very windy, but we had a great time viewing the city from that height.

After making friends withe the Empire State building information lady (see above) we headed down to china town and Little Italy. I LOVE little Italy, every time I am there I have to eat a chocolate canoli. SO GOOD! We also happened upon a long time childhood friend who we had been searching for, for years. Kelsey finally found him! We also did a little shopping on canal street and got some great purses. I love negotiating the price!

New York Posts Coming Soon...

Hello faithful readers! New York posts will be coming soon...

Sleep is for the Weak

In 2 hours I am supposed to be up in order to leave for the airport. I have decided to forgo sleep instead of waking up at the lovely hour of 3am. Since I work evenings, I normally do not even go to sleep until 1:30-2am. Lets see how long it takes me to pass out on the plane...any guesses? So New York here I come...on no sleep...why?...cause sleep is for the weak! :)

Oh and a very happy birthday to my DAD!!! I love you! My Dad and his "daughters" :)
