News from the Brooklynites…..
The Brooklynites are moving to Queens! Yeah for us….we found an apartment with a huge back yard, 3 bedrooms, 2 (yes, that’s right) bathrooms, a dishwasher and many more accessories. God has answered my prayers way beyond my wishes. My parents are coming out for a week to help us paint and clean…another answer to prayer. I will be posting pictures soon hopefully. It’s about a 5-7 minute drive from where we live now so it is a different neighborhood. When you move to a different neighborhood here in the city it can almost feel like another state or something. I’m excited but also a little sad. This is the apartment where Jack n Jill grew up!
I guess I’m just nostalgic like that. In other news we are headed to Guatamala City, Guatamala here in about 3 weeks. Josh’s sister and her family moved down there back in November so we are going to pay them a visit. Jack n Jill have their passports just waiting in the file cabinet. Honestly, I am a little afraid to get an airplane after this episode here in the Hudson. Who would have thought a flock of birds could take an airplane down?
Josh and I have taken up running….of course he’s way more serious about it than I am. As we speak he’s out running like the wind and here I sit on the rocking chair. He has run a 12 miler twice and I have made it a whopping 3 miles (twice….and I almost died both times). I would like to run a half marathon sometime….inspired by my friend Marilyn. (She ran an entire one) Have any of you tried running? It is HARD! It’s good for your heart. Gives it a good workout.
How about our new President Obama and his family? All politics aside, I think they are a neat family. He looks at her so lovingly and it makes me smile.
Well, my children are waking and the husband is back from his run so here I go to serve.

About running–I have just started it again. Last summer I worked myself up to a whole mile, I think!! Yeah, not your biggest athlete here. So any good tips on how to stay dedicated to something that totally bores me most the time? and congratulations on your new house.
