Long overdue!!

Friends and family,

I apologize for not posting anything for the past two months! I have been quite slack in this part of my life for that I'm sorry. Not writing that last two months doesn't mean that exciting things haven't happened since my last posting. So I will try to do my best in recalling the last two months for you all.
After my last posting, I came home fore Spring Break and was able to relax for a week staying with friends in Raleigh as well as with family in Burlington. The time flew by, but it was great to go back to St. David's and see close friends and students in the midst of their normal school day. I was blessed enough to give the chapel talk at school, which is always exciting. I spoke on the need for intentional community and how I was able to experience it first hand this year in New York.
I returned to New York after spring break only to come back and be hit with a final exam! Luckily, it wasn't too difficult. I made it through midterms and had a few free days in April where I was able to further explore the city, visiting the Lower East Side and the Village, which are very neat places to go and people watch as well as eat great food! I made it to a few more plays and continued my bike rides around the city.
A couple of weeks after my break, I took three days off to meet the eighth graders from St. David's on their DC trip. It was my first time on an American train, which you have time when traveling, I highly recommend it. It's fascinating seeing the beauty of the landscape and different cities you pass through. My time with them was grand. I was so glad I was able to spend a little time with the grade that I left in August to pursue this degree. The kids were great and the trip was exceptional as always. I did get a chance to see Senator Dole and the first dog in the White House much to the disappointment of my dear friend Neville! (She never gets to see important people on these trips and I always seem to be at the right place at the right time!)

SPRING IN THE PARK

Just as NC is beautiful in April with the azaleas and dogwoods blooming, and DC is gorgeous with numerous cherry blossoms surrounding the basin at this time, Central Park in spring ranks right up there. I was able to spend a Friday and take pictures of the flowers and trees blooming in this monstrous metropolis. I could've spent all day there going around the park, taking pictures of the different flowers and trees. So if you ever visit the city, mid-April is a great time to come and visit. I've included some pictures I took on this outing.
