I'm Thankful in New York

Well, this week was tons of fun because I got to hang out with my little sister in New York!! I’ve never really been for longer than a few hours… so it’s been a blast!  So I decided to create a list of everything I’ve been thankful for ever since I got to New York.

1.  I’m thankful for my car.  Subways are really fun…… but cars are faster, cleaner, and more capable of going anywhere not on a track.  I will give subways this: they provide good entertainment, they are better for the environment, and they are probably cheaper, though it doesn’t seem by much. 

2. I am thankful for the prices in Utah.  I can’t even buy a can of beans out here for under a dollar! And that’s poor man’s food!  Let alone the produce, and any other thing you think you want, but suddenly you realize you can live without.  I’m sorry but I don’t think I will choose to live in a dirty place where I can’t be in a space larger than 5 square feet without someone in my grill for over-priced food. No thanks.

3. I am thankful for wide open spaces.  And green.  It’s fun to be around a lot of people sometimes, but just sometimes.  I think that would be hard for me to handle every day.  And it’s a little depressing how there is not very much greenery around.  Some people are fine with that, but it’s not something I can live with. 

4. I am thankful for Momma’s cookin.  I know, again with the food.  But seriously, French toast at Happy Days Diner is just not the same as the feast I would have gotten at home.  Man, seriously can’t wait until Christmas!  Only 3 more weeks until I make my way home. 

5. I am thankful for MY SISTER!! She is the best!  I am so glad she found the deal on the ticket so I could come visit her!  It’s been way too long since I’ve seen her, and we’ve had so many good times while I have been out here.  It’s not like it’s been a whole year since we’ve seen each other or anything…..  We just picked up right where we left off!  I am happy to get back to my life, but I’m sad to leave Leah.  I wish we were closer to each other.  But who knows! Maybe we will be soon! Life always throws crazy things at you!

Anyway, my stay at New York has been such an experience.  I love getting to see new things, and I really loved being able to finally get the tour of The Big City, by none other than my very own little city-slicker sista! *BEST FRIENDS*
