Sandy.

I've been gone for a moth and it's honestly been my lazy streak. I just have not had time to sit and write recently. But I just want to come up here to update about something happening in our country right now. I live in New York City and as many of you may know we were just hit by hurricane Sandy a couple days ago. It was honestly a scary experience and I know that none of us expected it to have such a drastic impact. There are cities that look like a tornado swept them off the ground. And I guess that this is having such an effect on the eastern seaboard, not only because it is devastating, but because these things never happen here. we never have hurricanes and crazy storms that flood and destroy the way Sandy has. It is unfortunate, but I can know say that I know how other people have felt. Thank God that my family and friends are all safe and sound but my heart goes out to those that have lost everything. I don't even want to imagine what they are feeling. I hope that those that are being affected stay safe, and that God through his mercy brings us healing. I know that we will pull through because that's what us American do. We have that ability I feel, to rise up and lend a hand when it is necessary. I know that this has marked history and I hope that our recovery will be quick.

WOW. Is it really? Is it seriously October already?!! Time is literally flying by and I have no idea where it's going. My birthday is in about a week and I must admit, I'm excited to see what that is going to be like. Hopefully it turns out special. I loved being seventeen it was a metamorphic state for me and that feeling was awesome. And now I'm looking forward to turning nineteen (maybe I have a thing for odd numbers?). All I know is that I can't wait. So since I havent been here for a while I guess it's time for some updates again:

1) My birthday is almost here (already said, I know, but thought I should repeat)
2) I'm still on the job hunt. I 'm babysitting but that's just not enough anymore.
3) I might just go bankrupt on this student salary especially with all of the shopping I've been doing lately. (This is a total side note but I think I might have a spending problem. What girl doesn't though, right?!)
4) Last Saturday I went ice-skating for the first time this fall and it felt amazing :) I CANNOT wait for the season to start again.
5) New York feels like Autumn again. I had to wear a jacket and everything today!! (Which calls for more shopping, I need some new boots)
6) My mom gave me her wedding bands today as our first family heirloom of this generation. I'm so happy because I'd been eying them ever since 6th grade and finally, they are mine.
7) I guess that's it, I talk way too much, but you guys knew that already.

So that's my life, in a nutshell. At least for now anyway. I'm going out to search for job applications and I'm hoping for something fun and semi permanent, so wish me luck! Ciao lovies. xo Abigail
