toodles and noodles

As a procastinator life is hard when you dont have a boss. These days I do not have one overwhelming thing that takes up my days, but i do have a list of little things that need to get done before I leave. It is amazing to me how those little things can not enter my brain untill the very end of the day when Im laying in bed and thinknig of how I did squat and did not do anything I had planned.

If I actually get to Albania I think that will be a pretty huge ordeal, because of all the silly things I keep forgetting to do. you know like get insurance, and shots, oh yeah a plane ticket. yeah I know nothing big.

But I have been doing a lot of walking (I love to walk) and a lot of reading, and that pretty much seems to be taking up my day. But in the last two weeks I have learned how to make a apple pie and peach cobbler from scratch so at least I have one accomplishment to feel proud about right? Im thankful for these peaceful moments but im ready to get back into the world.

Here we are again! It seems like we always know what the other is feeling, which is good. Although, I'm not really preparing to go anywhere soon, I am preparing to go to Nashville, and I don't have a boss or a job, so I've been doing a lot of walking and a lot of readin, and a lot of cleaning my room. Oh, and a lot of checking my email and stuff. I would love to write you a long email all about Africa, but I'd get too bored. So instead, I'll forward you all the emails I wrote while I was there updating everyone, but I don't think I know your email address! Well, I love you, friend!

ems I love walking, it seems that's the best time that God can get a hold of me and really get through to me, and I love reading almost as much as I love walking and breathing, but not more than eating cause i love food. :)

Long time comin'

Let me start you out with a few facts: * I finally called my parents on saturday. It had been 13 days since we last talked. * It has been 19 days since my last post. * 3 months since I moved into my new apartment . Today I have finally posted the pictures. Ok. Yeah so life has been jam packed as of late. I have many exscuses, but I am just going to say dont be sad that I havent been on the internet. Because friends it has been a good thing. I needed to just live HERE for a while. With no distractions of home or other thoughts in my mind. I needed time, to focus on life here. I had gotten back into a rut again. I for some reason forgot why I was here. I was unhappy for no reason. Thankfully I gave it to God, and he my friends yanked me out. He reminded me once again why I am here, and now has really given me the passion I have been looking for here. You do not know how different my days are when I get up in the morning now. I actually want to get up. I am so thankful, because for so lon...

Soon and very soon....

This coming sunday will be a month since I have been in Krakow. I love how at the end of my last post I wrote how updates would come soon. I guess in my time, that means a month. Ha, sorry for waiting so long on telling you what has been happening here. I guess I tend to get so wrapped up in things, I forgot theres another world out there (outside of Yonkers...) Anyways, me and my roommate Katie (who is pretty much amazin' by the way) have gotten our apartment all set up, learned exactly how to get to ikea by tram and a couple buses, and we have learned where to find really really good cupcakes. But on the serious side of things the coffee shop is coming along, and everyday something is happening. Almost all of the plumbing & construction is done, there is just still lots of small things that tend to add up. Today we FINALLY got our really nice espresso machine all hooked up so now we can make the world's best cup of coffee. At least we shall try. Through connections fr...

What a year and 3 months can do...

In the past 3 weeks the shop has tripled with buisness. It has been unbelievable, exciting, and to be honest VERY tiring.  But it has been amazing to see people filling the shop at all hours of the day. All different kinds of people: Business men and women in need of a shot of espresso to get them through the day.  Tourists that heard from their tour guide that we have the best cheesecake in town :) Students cramming for their final exams, chugging down cappuccino after cappuccino. Families that were out for an evening walk, that our in desperate need of a nice cold fresh orange juice. This is what we are to our community. We are the morning wake up call, the home away from home, and always the place to come and relax.  Last night we had a "New Summer Menu Party" and we also celebrated the shop being open for a year. Actually it's been open a year and 3 months, but it just took us a little while to get the party together :) It was a gre...
