You Say Goodbye, I say Hello!

I'll apologize right off the bat to @PeteJHutch for the Beatles reference, but that's only given that you actually know that song...

But consequently, as soon as my dearest, darlingest, visiting Moms said goodbye, I said hello as God threw a few new people into view, and I quickly grew closer with some of the fellow dancers in my program.  At this point, we'd all been here about 4 weeks already, hitting the halfway point.  Surprisingly enough though, this was really just the first time I had started to feel deeper, more meaningful relationships begin to build with other interns.  My Aunt Julie says it takes two years to truly settle into life in a new city (which I have found to be true), so imagine the chaos in just 8 weeks! 

Nevertheless, the Lord provided (weird, right?), and I quickly found myself enjoying some chips and guac with a few great friends over a pleasantly surprising conversation about how, "Yo!  God is the MAN!....Jesus was a THUG, y'all!"  (Seriously....that was a direct quote from one of them.) 

I think we were all just really surprised to have so much fun together in one night!  I mean, why did it take 4 weeks for us to find each other? We laughed a lot, chatted a lot, ate, drank and were really quite merry!  We're all so different, but that didn't stop us from sharing love- hence the reason we dubbed ourselves:

"The Breakfast Club"

Looks like I found some fellow wanderers!
This is us exploring Times Square, late night.


It's funny how that big guy above really just knows what you need and gives it right to ya sometimes!
