snowflakes that fall on my nose and eyelashes...

im back in the city. as my plane arrived at la guardia yesterday evening, i turned on my phone and saw a text from my mom... 'don't forget your coat' -- i had been lugging it as a carry on since san antonio, bc i knew it would be cold when i arrived. i glanced out the window to the snow that was covering the ground, and assured my mom that there was no way i would forget my coat and she had nothing to worry about.

i caught a cab and headed to the apt. i lugged my two bags (each almost 50 pounds), plus my computer bag and purse out of the cab [while impatient cars waiting behind us honked and honked and honked...] through the snow on the sidewalk and steps, and with the help of a guy from my building got them inside. he let me know that one of the wheels broke off of one of my suitcases... but DONT WORRY... he retrieved it for me. thanks mister.

getting my luggage up to the 4th floor in my walk up was the fun part. and by fun part, i mean that i stopped for several breaks rest breaks, there was cursing and i almost fell backwards like twice. i finally made it upstairs. i kicked off my boots and plopped down on my bed... where i fell asleep. i woke up when mo called me -- they were all just getting out of church (its a block away from the apt) and were goign to get something eat. i got up, put my boots and layers back on and went to meet everyone.

we went to this diner on the corner and all crammed into several tables pushed together... wish i had a pic of that. but here is me and the TGC girls as we were leaving venus diner --note should be made that annie fell almost twice in just the taking of this photograph :D also, please note how cute everyone looks, while i have a side ponytail and am airport greasy. haha.

[[kathleen, hilary, chinae, megan, annie, me, vanessa, mo and rachel]]

so yes, its nice being back. the snow looks lovely as its falling outside right now. i had wanted to go to the park and take pictures today. hmm. but instead i have showered and have attempted to clean/organize/unpack... which hasn't been entirely successful.

miss you already texas -- you and all your warmth. im gonna post some of my fave pics from being home here in the near future.
