our last day in nyc

we got up a little late and headed to church. minister and author tim keller, who we both love was preaching at his church right in nyc redeemer presbyterian is across the street from central park so we got ready real quick and grabbed a taxi. after church we met our friend grace for brunch. it was great to see her and catch up. she is currently training for a marathon in san diego with team in training for leukemia and lympthoma in our honor and another friend of hers from high school. we rushed back to the hotel so we could pack up and check out. it was sad. leaving is sad. but we missed ava. we had some time before we needed to head to the airport so we walked around the city for the last time. the last time on this trip. we will be back. it was a gorgeous day so we headed to bryant park and sat at a little table and talked and enjoyed the city. then it was time to leave. got into the taxi and left nyc.

thank you justin for making it happen. all the phone calls and emails. you made me feel like i was the most important person in the world. you even told me all the ways i had made you proud when i was sick. that meant so much. its hard to explain the emotion that was in this weekend. but it was deep and special. it was so much more than just a weekend to nyc. we celebrated our lives and our marriage and out love for one another. two things that i cherish more now than i ever have in my life.

also justin and i have both been to nyc before so we had already been to the statue of liberty, empire state building, ground zero, ellis island, etc. so this trip was an attempt at seeing/doing what we had not done before in nyc.

disclaimer...i would have many more pictures to post but my husband hates. i mean he despises asking people to take a picture.
