My Marine Corps Marathon Heros!

Today two of my close friends Becky and Tina ran the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington DC! 26.2 miles around our National Monuments!

Becky and Tina in NYC in June

I really wanted to be there to cheer them on...so this morning as I logged on to find out any details possible I was elated to learn that I could track their every step along the way.
It was amazing! They finished in 5 Hours and 25 Minutes! I am so proud of both of them and can't wait to hear all about their experience. They have been an example to me of the rewards of dedication and perserverance! Thank you both.. so when is the next marathon? NYC next year?

Fantastic NYC!

New York City has so many beautiful things to see!

If you ever get the chance to take the Spirit Dinner Cruise around Manhattan on The Spirit of New York (pictured above), I strongly recommend it. The view of the city was fantastic, and the sunset was beautiful!

Some pictures that I took on my cell

Where to Begin???

Ok.. I'd like to say that life has slown (is that a word) down a bit and that I have all the time in the world to get this blog up and running.. but it's the baby steps isn't it? Well anyway, I am finally getting settled into life as a New Yorker, and what an amazing life it is. School is amazing. It is all I could have hoped for and more! I am living my dream! AHHHHHHH (said like the Annie Banks in Father of the Bride, when she tells her father that she is getting married).

Ok... pardon me as I vent for a minute... I am currently in a computer lab writing this and God Bless them, but the Musical Theatre majors who feel the need to let us in on their personal rehersal while in the computer lab.. not just one.. but 3 people are singing different songs!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok... whew.. I feel much better now. Well... I have some pictures to post when I can get them off my phone and I will work on that this weekend. That's all folks... and Prissi's blog is officially underway!
