Only good comes to those that wait!!!

I know that it has been an extremely long time since I have written and I apologize. I seem to be putting work lately in front of everything else in my life. I know this is not a good thing and I am trying to say no but I am just not very good at it. So anyways there has been a lot going on in my life as of late and I will try to give you all a few of the high lights!

On May 12 I took a trip to New York City!. Some friends and I rented an apartment for the 10 days that we were there. I had not been on a trip in a very long time I was a little scared. I was mostly scared about dealing with the big crowds of people as I don't do well in large crowds. After the second day in this big city I became comfortable around the large crowds and their lifestyle. There were so many wonder full things there it would take me forever to tell you all of them but some of the best things were the statue of liberty, central park, Broadway shows, New york pizza, hot dogs and cheesecake. Our apartment was really close to time square where there is never a dull moment as the stores stay open till midnight. We also did a boat ride around the island and made a trip up the empire state building. We went to a Broadway show every night and I even saw some very well know stars! I did end up doing a little bit of shopping because the people I went with were really into that. I mostly tagged along but did end up buying a few things. There were a few things that that were very different in new york that I didn't really realize being from Canada. There are no houses as there is just no land for them so you do have to live in an apartment. However the cost of them is unreal. There is always people trying to get money out of you so I soon learned how to give no eye contact and keep walking. I was also able to go to church while I was there which was also very nice experience. It is true when you hear people say the church is the same no mater where you go in the world. It's a totally different world in New York. It is a very fast paced lifestyle and I would love to go back and visit but I don't think I would ever want to live there. I had a great vacation and can't wait for the next one!

When I got back from New York I very quickly got back into my life style as my boss called the next day to get me to come to work. The weekend I got back I got to spend a little time with some family that I hadn't seen in a while which was a lot of fun.

Some of the fun things that I have done recently are some bonfires which I love, going to lots of movies, some bad some good. Attending a few friends birthday parties, some consisting of karaoke. There of course is all of the summer activities that I love. You just can't go wrong with summer!!! At least in my opinion.

Last week I had an eye opener when I attended my first rumble in the cage. For all of those of you who don't know it is wrestling in a cage. There is suppose to be three rounds and most of the wrestlers don't make it past the first round. I didn't mind the fighting, I just didn't like when they passed out or got hurt. That's just the kind of sport it is I guess.

Those are the main things that have been going on in my life. I hope everyone is enjoying the nice weather as much as I am!
