First off, sorry that I haven't blogged in awhile. Yeah, I know I posted that video last week, but it wasn't really a blog. Just needed to get something up on the site. Well this is my first "real" blog post in almost a month.
Took the family to Nyack this weekend for a little bit of work/play. It just so happened that Melinda had a meeting for Nyack College on Friday and I had a meeting for the ATS Alumni Association on Saturday. Instead of each of us driving by ourselves on different days, we decided to make a mini-weekend trip to Elianah's birthplace. Nyack holds a very special place for us because that's basically where many different aspects of our lives took place. We both went to college there, I did my graduate work there, the place Elianah was born, Melinda's first job, our first apartment, my internship, and a ton of different things.
On Friday we both did some work at the seminary (laptops are great) while
Elianah went back and forth between us. For lunch I ventured into Northvale, NJ to get some AMAZING sushi at World Sushi (got the Tuna Roll and Shrimp Tempura Roll). After Melinda's meeting we went to the Palisades Mall to go to our favorite restaurant of all time - Stir Crazy! (photo below) For those of you who live next to a Stir Crazy, you have to go soon, like now. The food there is by far the best Asian food we get anywhere else. After that we walked around the mall, something we used to do all the time.
On Saturday I had my meeting while Melinda and Elianah hung out with a close friend. After my meeting we went into downtown Nyack to visit the Starbucks I used to work at. Great to see Chris and Matt who I used to work with. We ended up having lunch at Starbucks then traveled to Carlise, NY to pick up our dog Dash, then finally got home around 10pm.
So I'm up early today, getting ready for a really long day. Order of things today for me: teach the Adult Bible Class, lead/preach in the Worship Gathering, attend a church luncheon, conduct our annual meeting, home for a nap, wake up for the end of the Eagles/Cardinals game, get things done around the house, catch the end of the Steelers/Ravens game, then off to bed.
Monday we're going to Conneticut to visit some friends. So we're looking forward to that.
Just uploaded a reacent podcast. I've been slacking on the podcast front, as this is the first one that I've loaded in like a month. To subscribe to the podcast, click on the link above.
Here's a recent picture of Elianah. Isn't she cute?
