Lost!

 Day Two:

So waking up this morning was incredibly difficult.  The two hour time difference is a killer and my bed is so comfortable!  The family decided to go visit some friends in Pennsylvania so they explained to me how to get to the subway station and how to get where I was going and then I was off on my own!  So I made it to the station without a problem, got on the right train and got off at the right stop.  I was so impressed with myself!  I even fond the church relatively quickly (they tried to trick me.  There were two doors.)

Church was good.  I even recognized one of the guys who got up to bear his testimony.  He was in my ward over the summer before he moved out here for a job on Wall Street.  Sunday School was probably my favorite.  I went to the Gospel Essentials class cuz the Gospel Doctrine class was full but it was really interesting and the teacher was pretty cool.  Oh and for all those wondering, yes, there are cute boys in my  ward.  Lots.  :D

After church I took the subway home, had a nice conversation with a guy about coffee (he was so shocked that I had never had coffee before).  I get off at Canal Street and I go up the stairs to the street and that's where I had a slight problem...

Yep, I definitely got lost.  I really should have a GPS unit attached to me so I don't have to spend an hour walking around looking for where I live.  It was fun nonetheless!  I just kinda wandered around and got to look at the city.  I finally found my apartment.  Turns out I had been right by it about half an hour before but I hadn't recognized it.  I'm cool like that.

Now I'm just chilling in my room.  The parents are going out tonight but since it's my night off they hired a babysitter so I might play with the kids a bit or just watch a movie or something tonight.  I can't really do any exploring at night because A) my warmest coats are cushioning my PC tower in a box in the computer room at my house in Utah waiting to be sent to me and B) not only does my cell phone not work (I can hear you but you can't hear me) but now it has taken to turning off whenever I try to text.  I told my parents I needed a phone that worked before moving to New York, but somehow my mom having and dad having phones with WiFi was much more important, so my broken phone was replaced with an even older yet equally broken phone.  *Pity sigh*

So the kids are adorable!  Owen is so incredibly smart!!  He's only four but he reads very well, is learning French and Spanish, and is so curious to learn about everything!  And he is very well-behaved.  He always is polite and his number one concern is always his brother Lucas.  He makes sure that Lucas is always having fun and when he does something good, O is always the first to congratulate and praise him.  Lucas is two and so energetic and cute!  He will be so much fun to play with!  He and O are very close and you can tell he really looks up to his older brother.  And both of them adore Charlotte.  She is a happy little baby and she loves it when people talk to her.  She loves making sounds.  Right now she is teething so she likes two chew on anything she can get her hands on.

Well tomorrow is my first actual working day.  I will be going to be around 8 MST because I'm still not used to the time change and I need to be ready by 7:30.  Hope you all are having a fabulous Sunday!  Love you all!!
