The Big Apple 2013

My little taste of the Big Apple - January 2013

Having way too much fun at 7:00am. Business flights are quiet from Calgary to Toronto...

unless Mik and I are on them.

Times Square

More Times.

 Divas...after going to the opera at The Metropolitan Opera House - AMAZING!

 The bull!

 Walking the Brooklyn Bridge. Chilly, chilly day! But oh, so beautiful.

Off for a little Wicked fun in a limo...

 Post Carnegie concert. All dolled up!

My beautiful mom!

What a blessing to play. Words can't even describe it. 

So thankful to the Lord for His direction in my life.

And for granting me just huge opportunities to experience joy.

Overtake. Complete.

Why do I wait so long to run to You? 

Why wait for moments of desperation? 

Lord, I am weak, but You are strong. 

I fail, but You have won. 

You've already won.

You've fought the battle.

Jesus, be present in my life. 

Make a difference in my actions. 

Show me the right attitude. 

TAKE OVER.

Flood my life. 

May my cup run over with Your blessings.

Overtake. Complete.

These roses hang in my room. 

A reminder that I am a daughter of the King. 

I am loved.

Day 6 - From a Distance

Late night drive home after a fantastic night with friends.

Lights, highway, and hospital.

Day 5 - Faceless Self Portrait

I always enjoy the days that I can get out of the office to run errands, 

and enjoy the sun.

It's all about the accessories.

More art - a cross stitch from my Grandma.

Love books!

My dear girl Emily - an American Girl Doll that I bought in NYC in 2008.

I absolutely love my room. 

I love that it is my two favourite colours, purple and green. 

I love all memories that it includes!

Baking on Sunday...and loving it! It had been too long.
