Distracted

"It takes all the running you can do, to keep in the same place."

Hey.  It is so fall now.  It's pretty walking around on campus with all of the trees turning yellow and orange.  This past weekend I was in New York- you all know that- and it was so incredible.  I took that picture from the rooftop of the Terrell's apartment.  We stayed with Olivia's future in-laws, who live on Roosevelt Island.  Everything about catching the F train, walking to get scones and tea for breakfast, and the energy of all the people on the streets made me want to live there so badly.  I loved it.  To sum up our trip, we did a lot of walking, eating, and discussing how to get places.  We got to go to the Museum of Modern Art, which happened to be free after a certain time (we hit that up).  We volunteered with an art therapy nonprofit- Missy Terrell knew the lady that started it- so we spent Saturday morning making jewelry kits and painting a mural.  Only Liv and I did the mural because everyone else was scared of "messing it up".

The lady wanted it to be the Statue of Liberty, "Starry night"/Van Gogh inspired.

People got crazy for Halloween.  We didn't dress up as anything.  We actually didn't do anything super exciting on Halloween in general.  We are all grandmas/old ladies.  On Sunday we went to Redeemer on the East Side and got to hear Tim Keller speak!  I was so excited, and he did a great job.  And sidenote: Olivia and I said "never fear, Brooklyn is here!" no less than 60 times throughout the weekend.  Don't worry.

I'm in a weird place right now mentally.  It is almost like I feel myself letting go of Athens and all of my holds here.  Maybe I'm just ready to see the next step for my life.  I think I am just always a restless person...I want to pick a new city, see new things, find my "place" in a different place.  I know that I am ridiculous.  Thanks for listening, hahaha.

Also, I am super excited about the new Julian Casablancas release!  I don't own it yet, but I've listened to what I can for free online...and it's sweet.

Oh dear I love ya'll so much.
