Last.

Lots of lasts this week. Last weekend, last weekend in NYC and I had my last week of school! well at least for a week and then I'm back! It was so great to have that done, I came home from my test, turned on Friends and ate some frosting. Sounds gross I know, but I just needed to do something out of control after my test.
After the long awaited weekend we made our way to New York. A nice guy from the ward drove us down because it was ward temple night so we did a session. It was quite an interesting session to say the least. To sum it all up we got there at 6:45 PM to do the 7:15 session. We didn't get out of there until 10:30 PM. About 4 hours at the temple! It did make me realize how important volunteering to temple work can be, with all the other mishaps not having very many temple workers also contributed to the long session. Maybe when I get some time I'll volunteer in the temple! We hadn't eaten dinner yet because we wanted to wait to go in NYC so we were starving when we got out of there! We dropped our stuff off at the hotel and made our way to the pier by our hotel. We stopped at a seafood restaurant with $40 plates! So we got the cheap hamburgers, not very good. First time we were disappointed. We were also right by a party! The restaurant had a open bar so they were bumpin' the beats and lots of people were partying it up. Dinner at 12:30 AM is not something I think we'll do again.

Our hotel was pretty nice! We slept in, ate breakfast and made our way out to go shopping. We were 10 minutes away from the Seaport Pier where they had lots of shopping, museums, and restaurants. So we went to Superdry! Newel was so excited. We also went to a cute little printing shop where the man there prints his own cards and sells a lot of other cute things. We bought a fun calender I can frame and a magnet. It was fun being there it was a completely different part of New York, not like anywhere else. As we walked to Wall Street we passed by Oka Sushi! I felt obligated to eat there but seeing as it was 11:00 and we had eaten less then 2 hours ago we didn't. Wall street was pretty cool. Lots of cops with big guns. Made us want to go see Bateman again. Newel wanted to do some tours but all are advance tickets. So we made our way to China town. Newel did some bartering and got me a fake watch and we got him a new sock tie since he lost the one from our wedding! After China town we went to time square. In all the weekends we had been to NYC we still hadn't seen Time Square! It of course was full of tourists but it was really cool. The huge screens are just unreal! We walked around the stores and wrote wishes to be dropped on new years. We met up with Katie and Kevin and went to dinner at this yummy Italian place. After dinner we walked along the Brooklyn Bridge. We called it a night pretty early but went out again after resting to get the best gelato in the whole world! Real expensive but real worth it! After watching the Olympics all morning we stopped and got more gelato the next day. We didn't do anything in NY on Sunday we just made our way home. Last time in grand central. It was crazy traveling on Sundays! We spent the rest of our Sunday sleeping, skyping, eating and watching TV. Definitely just rested.
