My Southern Adventure Part 2

This post is way overdue, but I guess better late than never! So, I wrote about going south to surprise my family. My time with them was only the first part of my weekend. Saturday afternoon I borrowed a car and headed to Greenville to see some friends. Let me just first say how much I LOVED driving a car for three hours. It was the first time I had driven in 7 months and so incredibly exhilarating to be closed in a car and just "be". I am thankful for public transportation, but boy do I miss praying in the car, listening to music, and just having some space to be alone, a rare happening in this city. So once I got to G Vegas I met up with some friends from my South Africa team (I spent a summer in South Africa in 2004). We all live in different places, but were able to come together for a mini reunion(Mel we missed you) Oh it was soooo fun to laugh and reminisce about our crazy and amazing summer together.

Sunday I attended my old church and then had lunch with some fav's. I had to bribe L to smile for the camera. I told her that when Frances(her mom) brought her to NYC that I would take her to a huge toy store. When I told her that her little sister (not pictured) piped in and said, "I want to go to York". Oh they are so cute. Their little brother is pretty cute too, don't you think?

It was a quick after church lunch at the one and only Joy of of Tokyo.


It was a quick visit, but so fun.

P.S. Did anyone watch Martha Stewart on Tuesday? I was in the audience along with 5 of my friends (thanks KJ for requesting the tickets). It was a spider themed show, so a little scary. We had fun, but could not help but compare it to our Rachel Ray experience. We all agreed Rachel won. Sorry Martha!

It is SO FUN to see this picture - both of them actually. I love each person in them SO MUCH and my life has been significantly impacted by each one. Jack and I haven't gotten acquainted yet, but one day. I love all these people!!!!!!!!!!
