Week in Review...

So I've been lazy (actually the opposite of lazy) and havent updated, but heres the general gist of what I've been doing all week...

I never thought I'd say it, but I've been sleeping at 11-12 ish every night and waking up at 7:30AM. Going to work and watching background videos for 8 hours...then coming back exhausted. Very exhausted...but yeah, next week starts the real work, so hopefully it wont be as painful.

Here's a pic of new jersey as i drove through...and I swear it ALL looked like this...i swear!!! dirty factories...ridiculous


And this is my experience driving through New York...at like 2:30 on a SUNDAY (and btw...this is like the one second that you can't see any taillights lite up...)


I was planning on maybe going up to New York to visit people this weekend, but then decided to go to Nathaniel's Birthday Party.

Nathaniel is this cute little 4 year old that I'm staying with the summer. God worked in funny ways to provide me with housing this summer. Ask me about it some time...

But heres some pics of the party and also of my gift to him...

They played with the parachute and all hid under it (theres like 20 of them under there)


We were greeted at the door by Winnie The Pooh...I wanted to kidnap it and keep it for myself
The little kids got to play with the sprinkler stuff, I hate those things that fill with water and dump on you...just go play in a pool :PThis is my gift to Nathaniel...a Pochacco made with light blue (he picked the color...not knowing what it would be for)

That was my week and weekend, more updates to come...hopefully

Day 3, My hate of the east coast

Let me preface this post by saying, growing up in the midwest, I've come to like my life (and driving) a certain way. Even though I complain about slow drivers in Minnesota, driving in NY has really made me realize how nice it is to drive in the Midwest. Sorry, I don't have any pictures of today, because I was busy fearing for my life in my NON ANTILOCK BRAKES car while NY drivers constantly honked at me for going ONLY 15 MPH OVER the limit.

But it's ok....clearly I don't care so much. I'm just glad I'm alive. I survived the roadtrip!

Day 2, Mountains and Valleys (and lots of bridges)

Leaving Columbus Ohio, downtown

I was looking for gas, and I got lost in this lovely town somewhere in the middle of Ohio...Is that Jason's new apartment on the left???? jk...

Bridge to West Virginia

Tunnel Number 1

Tunnel Number 2

Tunnel Number 3

Tunnel Number 4

As I was driving throughout Pennsylvania, I kept seeing these signs, In my head I saw Alan in a fighter jet watching cars to see if they were speeding, and then shooting down those that were speeding...needless to say, I stayed close to the speed limit...;)

Road Trip Day 1

Indianapolis: Colts Stadium, from Drivers Seat













Welcome to Ohio!














I drove about 30 minutes behind these two guys in the pick up truck, they were making faces and laughing for my camera (The pic is kinda small, but the truck is under the Columbus OH sign)
