Playing Catch Up

I cannot believe I haven't updated this blog since March!!! Geez. Well allow me to update the world of blog on my comings and goings since then.

April
April was a mixed bag. Ashki came to visit with her sister and we all had a great time. It was Karina's first NY trip. We went out and showed her the city!

Once they departed, I had a hard month. I was in a relationship that ended and that was trying, but as usual I survived and became stronger. I decided to take some time off from the dating world and have been enjoying myself more than I thought. :)

Stated Tutoring a little 4th grader named Nicole. She is great, very smart. I was soooo happy to help her reach her goals. She did very well and I was very proud.

May
Spring seemed short as the sun set in and it was HOT quick! Not sure how the natives deal with this....there is literally 3-4 months of livable weather here.

May was a good month though...I spent most of it with friends. Hit Mo's more often and was enjoying my time. Chrissy came for fleet week and we had WAY too much fun. We spent most of that weekend in Times Square meeting marines and sailors. The best part was hearing their stories of Iraq. It was sad and amazing all at the same time. I have much more respect for our men and women out there now!

I also made a big decision in May. I am moving back home in February. I have known that I needed to teach for a while. I took some time off and I know its time to get on with my career. I am excited and have been making plans. Can't wait!!

June
I was happy because Gerson came to visit me the first week of June. His first time in NY and he seemed to enjoy it. He did complain of all the walking though! lol I guess I just got used to it a long time ago, I don't really notice anymore. I, of course, took him to Mo's and to the village. We ate, drank, he did karaoke and we explored Central Park.

The following weekend Kevn came to visit from Houston. We had a great time with a little drama....the usual, ya know! :)

July
Ashki came back for 4th of July weekend....had such an amazing time. We were invited to a rooftop party and it was so fun. It did rain, but we were determined to see fireworks...so we got soaked and watched. I met some cool peeps from Miami too.

I started tutoring a second child, Kevin at the end of the month. He is a challenge, but a good kid. I look forward to helping him do well.

Ended July with a concert to see Chis Cornell with Aaron. We had an amazing time. I am officialy in love with Chris now! He sang a lot of Audioslave and his solo stuff. He is great live...amazing voice! Aaron was the perfect company. I hadn't seen him since February...so it was a fun reunion!!!
