My last week in NY

My last week in New York was stressful and non-stop. I had to pack up my whole life to move back West - it was so much harder the second time. Moral of the story: I have too much crap! haha. I also trained the new nanny which actually made me feel a lot better about leaving because then I knew the family would be in good hands. It was just non-stop for a few days and by the time Friday came around I was ready to be done! Thank goodness I had Friday off.

Friday afternoon I went into the city to hang out with my cousin one last time. We went to a pizza place on the Lower East Side. It was delicious, like all New York pizza. Then we went to Times Square to get tickets to see Newsies. Once we had our tickets she had to go for a few hours so I just took in the last little bit of my time in New York. I just people watched on the iconic Red Steps of Times Square and enjoyed it all. 

Around 7:30 we all met up again to see the show! Sarah came down too. AND OH MY GOSH am I so glad I chose to see Newsies as my last show! We had 3rd row, center seats. If you ever go to New York (well, in the next two months cause it is closing in August.) I highly recommend seeing Newsies. I have never enjoyed a show more. Those boys sure know how to dance. And sing! So powerful. We stayed after the show to meet some of the cast as they came out - yes we were adults standing with a bunch of 14 year old girls. And we are proud of it. 

On Saturday there was a huge YSA activity at the Rockaway's in Queens. So we headed there for the day. It was fun to just relax and see the ocean one last time before leaving. I sure will miss being so close!

It was a bittersweet day on Sunday saying goodbye to everyone at church and the nanny family. I can't even put into words how grateful I am for this opportunity I had. New York will always be such an important part of my life and I will miss it so very much.

Until the next adventure...
