My sister came up Saturday for a quick visit{ she's leaving tomorrow} but it's been pretty fun:)
We went and saw Shrek on Broadway which was really good. I didn't think it would be the best but it really was pretty grand:) It was hilarious to which makes it good:) Then we went up to Central Park one afternoon, walked around the city and saw the sights. We went to Madame Tussauds which was awesome.haha:) Yesterday we went to a taping of the Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. It was AWESOME they are SO funny there haha. Going again for sure:) I also found out that after 2 years of trying to get tickets to the Rachael Ray show I finally did! woohoo! Then today it was kind of cold and windy so we went and saw "all about steve" a really great movie funny and a good message:) Life is good. Miss family and what not..

alrighty so today.


<-- were awesome:

hm. Had to get up early early today because my mom had to leave at 3:15 on the shuttle to get to the airport to Fort Myers:( sad to see her leave... on the upside she's got to come back up in a couple of weeks to bring my dogs whenever the dog licenses decide to come in the mail..

So after my mom left I couldn't get back to sleep.. had a killer headache ALL night and morning.. so ended up eating some breakfast then hitting the gym..
Met up with Matt and we went over to Central Park and walked and chatted a bit which was fun. except for when the pigeon pooped on my pants. haha it wasn't to terrible though im just being dramatic. :p.
This week is kind of busy meeting up with someone I haven't seen since 4th grade tomorrow ! that should be fun to see him again over in Union Square! Then so far nothing thursday but Friday I have class from 1:30-5:30 then an extra class thing from 6-8 .. then Saturday class from 4-8 woooh. .
BUT
Next week should be pretty sweet.. Monday Matt and I are going to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon! fun stuff:) so excited!! I also got tickets for The Tyra Banks show in October.. this is such a fun city:) .

My school is awesome, friends are great{old and new:)} , loving this city God is good:)

good week:)



So this week has been a lot of fun:)
lets see starting off on Saturday I suppose.. Met up with a friend{matt} in Time Square and went to Ruby Tuesdays so he could eat, and hung out a little bit which was fun:) Then later that day my mom came in {so excited to see her agin} I got her some grub then we met up with Matt to see "Bye Bye Birdie" with John Stamos it was a really awesome play! Had a bunch of fun:) So saturday was an amazing day:)
The next few days i've been spending time with my mom.. Central Park, Union Square Farmers Market, and today the American Museum of Natural History which was awesome and apparently they were filming like Gossip Girl near by or something. lol! Sad mom is leaving monday:( but she'll be back up:)

Aside from the week.. I'm really excited being up here.. This city is so alive and full of opportunities.. Theirs always like moments of doubt ya know? Like wondering if you made the right choice about what you want to do and the move you made. I really don't think their is a right or wrong choice as far as future goes I mean every step forward that you take is just that a step forward. Its scary not taking the traditional path.. graduating high school then going to college and getting some type of degree {which is most certainly for some people and is a great thing to do} but, I know what I love and what I want and working hard at this and studying hard at this is what makes me happy. I need to start appreciating things I have and experiences that I've had.. I've gotten to see pretty much a piece of every part of this world and getting to live in different places and meeting different people is such an adventure in itself.. People worry so much about the little things we choose and do in this life.. and at the time they seem so monumental but they really aren't. The things in life that matter aren't things at all.. the relationship you have with Jesus is the most important thing , having people you love and people who love you and always finding something in life to be happy about.. Just thinking about that stuff today. I really love being here and what Im doing and going to do.. I really have no idea what will happen here or what this place will bring to me or for me but I know it will bring something and teach something its one stop full of adventure in my journey :)

In Christ,
Kris

Dear Wednesday, thank you. You exceeded my expectation of being better than yesterday.


So today was a pretty eventful day:) Starting off let me say the weather was gorgeous and has been the past few days:) Breezy, light sun..lovely.
I'll start off with the morning, of course went to the gym which was nice, discovered that a women i thought was a little strange is actually one of the nicest people there and made me feel at home for the first time I had been there. Lesson 1 for me today: don't forget never judge a book by its cover. So worked out and what not, then I was taking my normal route back home down 9th avenue up 42nd when some creeper walks up to me and he has a plastic little knife in his hand and he says " hey, how old are you" i was just like "18" he thought i said 16 but I just kept walking so a few feet away another guy in normal clothes comes up to me flashes his badge { he's clearly an undercover cop} and says " hey what did he say to you" so i told him and moved on.. as I'm walking I see all these cop cars "profiling" the area. I just kept on walking back to my apartment.. guess we'll never know. Lesson 2 for me today: If you meet 1 really nice person in nyc you'll meet 10 creepers to make up for them . haha} so that was my morning. Eventful? indeed!

So after that I had to go to the Apple store to get my Ipod all synced with my computer on the way I walked by Fox Studios{love}, Radio City, The Wall Street Journal, and CBS any ways..as I'm coming out of their right across from the street which is Central park "Sex and the City 2" is filming with Sarah Jessica Parker right there! It was pretty cool to see all the camera, behind the scenes stuff, and Sarah Jessica Parker. I have to admit though I don't watch Sex and the City and I still wont but movie sets are pretty sweet no matter what movie it is. Lesson 3 for me today: Yes movie business has a lot of glamour but don't forget about all of the people behind the scenes making it work..it takes a lot to get these scenes shot, especially in the middle of NYC. I also met this really nice girl from Australia and we chatted a bit as we watched the filming. After that I went over to Wholefoods and scored some fresh Vegan Gingersnap cookies.. today was most definitely my day. Then got back to the Apartment where i preceded to unpack my groceries, take a hot shower, put some laundry inn, and now I'm sitting on my comfy futon watching the beautiful New York sky and a good movie.. life is good. God is better:) Tomorrow I'm headed over to Lee Strasberg Institute to put in for some acting classes and get some vegan yogurt and do Union Square. . Lesson 4, final lesson of the day: i love this city, I forget it sometimes when I'm in the middle of the hustle and bustle and not to mention tourist{ no offense}, yes this city has dirty parts, some dirty people, and not everything is perfect but this city is unlike any other city in the world. after all it is New York City:)

So I haven't done a good job of keeping up on this blog, but life has just been crazy lately! Everything is set up and going great here in the big apple:) Im starting classes at an acting studio in the city mid September and doing online college courses { fun stuff} so Life is moving along here.. the apartment is awesome, its so cozy and home like i really love it now:)

I will admit I miss my family and my home a bit, but my mom and maybe my dad is coming up September 12 with my dogs. SO EXCITED! Were going to see Bye Bye Birdie with John Stamos, gonna be awesome:)
So im just adjusting to living life in New York, its so different than Fort Myers, but amazing:) I miss my gym a lot .. I joined a gym up here but its not the same. haha. no its all good:)

Im off to watch a movie and relax and wait for laundry to finish{ thank God i have a washer/dryer in the unit:D}

In Christ,
Kris
