the big city.

ah. lo siento. todavía estoy aquí. i warned you. i might not be good at this. :) 

cj came home last weekend. gosh it is good to see his sweet face. after a year and a half it certainly is a sight for sore eyes. a scribbilty scrop for scrippling eyes. let me tell you, the bittersweet of being home is a lot sweeter with him around. he's doing really well. a doctor's visit revealed that he doesn't need surgery--yes! so he's hangin' in there. 

but besides sharing stories and rocking on the porch with bear and drinking lots of beer and coffee and getting too full off momma's good cookin'--- i made it to new york last week. my dad and i ventured to the east so spend some time with my sis and see the life they've made there. it was so great. 
 
brooklyn first. 
subways.
kat and nate's apartment. 
pier seventeen. 
battery park. 
cobblestone streets. 
soho.
evolution.
world trade centers. 
times square. 
central park. 
museum of modern art. 
fifth avenue-- apple, fao shwartz, tiffanys.
the east village.
body exhibit. 
hell-of-a-trip back to michigan. 

a stunningly sweet symphony of swift sightseeing with my sister. 



things are fine. and as for the next months, plans are still developing. things have changed a bit with cj coming home, so right now i'm just soaking things up here in the northeast central. phew. thank goodness he is safe and sound. mongolia and all that it entails will happen next summer. so for now, each day is a day closer to settling into spain (i will now be heading there the 27th of august), and that keeps me going. :)
