A Brighter Day :)

The new day brought better hope! We woke up and Stacy contacted some other housing areas and got a meeting for Thursday at 2. It sounds very promising, so we are praying that it will turn out!! The place also has worksites for us, which is great!!! Stacy’s best friend and also our worship leader for the camp lives in NY and so we made out way back to Manhattan and had a wonderful day looking around the city and visiting with Beth. We ate at a diner (much more reasonably priced..) then walked to some great stores! We went to Macy’s and it was very very very crowded. Also, in this city there is no store that you can go into without having to wait in line for a dressing room and to check out. Everything is crowded….all restaurants, all stores, and all streets! We stopped by the Rockefeller Center and met some very nice people from West Virginia. J We chatted a bit and Beth told them some good places to eat. PS Beth works at Klinefeld’s Bridal store (the one on Say Yes to the Dress) so look out for her!! Then we took the Subway to a restaurant called Max Brenner. Okay this place is Heaven on earth!!!! It is a chocolate restaurant!! They have regular food, but they are known for their chocolate, which is oh so heavenly!! I had an amazing chocolate and peanut butter cake!! After dessert for dinner (PS we have dessert A LOT. I’m pretty much going to gain crazy amounts of weight after this summer!) We went back to the church to grab an over night bag because we had a slumber party at Beth’s. We grabbed our bags as quickly as possible and headed back to the subway. Okay, so we are girls, which means we carry massive amounts of clothes for overnight stays. What this also means is that we looked a lot like hobos on the subway. Not to mention by the time we got on the subway it was after eight. To add to this look we rode the subway for 2 HOURS!! In our two hours we ran into a few sketchy people (of course we are a few southerners on a subway so sketchy to us is just the norm for New Yorkers haha) and some couples saying goodnight. We got on a bit after eight and after 2 hours and 4 subway changes we finally made it to Beth’s. Let me also say that we were going from one part of Brooklyn to another not into Manhattan or anything…. It was frustrating, but I must say we laughed quite a bit and just made a night of it. We got to Beth’s and she had us Brooklyn style pizza waiting. It was awesome after our adventure! We watched a movie chatted and then went to bed.
