The first thing we did was grab a cheese-steak sandwich from a food cart in front of the hospital she works at, then we went to boat house row, sat on a bench talked about life and ate the yummy creation! It was in front of the stairs Rocky climbed and held his hands in victory.. On my trip I made a few observations about this great place. 1. Extremely aggressive drivers, never in my life have I heard so much honking.. I also saw many people parallel park and hit someone in the process.. People there just cross the street when they feel like it, it was insane to me.
2. It is home of some of the greatest food, with HUGE servings, but NO FAT PEOPLE. I did see a few heavy people but I think most of them were tourist. It was insane.
The night of my first day there we walked the city looking at sights. I got to see the liberty bell through the window. Danelle refused to stand in a long line just to see it and I was defiantly OK with that. We then ventured to a little market where they sold many different things, fresh cookies, fish, suvienerss, etc. And there is where 2 amazing things happened to me. I saw a Amish man (my first of the trip) and I bought and drank Organic Raw Milk. It was so gooooood. It tasted like milk (which I'm a milk aholic) but without the chalky aftertaste left from the chemicals. So I have always respected and looked up to the Amish. One because of a story I heard years ago and also because they are so devoted, kind, and loving people.
After the little markett we went to a Jewish Deli, it was slap ya momma good. Even loved the ruffage.. I could only eat a little because of it's massive size. After that we drove to where we were staying and hung out with a friend of hers until I fell asleep.
Next morning we went to Shady Maples Smorgous Board for breakfast (HEAVEN) and again no FATTYS? Blew my mind.. After that we drove out to Amish Country since Danelle discovered my love for the Amish and my secret desire to be among-st them. My favorite part was just driving around and seeing the beautiful land, simple houses, and the laundry hanging out to dry. I did get a little sad when we went to this little place that had buggie rides, and little shops that were suppose to sale things made by the Amish, but really it was just the world trying to make a buck off of this remarkable people and their way of life. I would really like to go back there during the summer and drive around again, I bet it would be breath taking to me.
That night we went to dinner with some peeps she knew from the singles ward. It was ok, the hottie sitting across from me made it very endurable... Late we went to a party with more singles ward people and SERIOUSLY not one guy was unattractive. I was like what? where am I and when can I come back. They were all tall, and very cute, some where cuter then the others and some even HOT, I'd would of took them all back to Tennessee with me if I could. The one guy we ate dinner with had a smile like the Rock, I melted like butter.. Haha. Geese.
New Years Eve was fun, I got to ring in the New Years on a balcony watching several different firework shows. Everyone else was on the roof, but nope not I. Which was okay I really like ringing in New Years alone it gave me time to think. I thought about 2011 and how I felt about it and I just felt at peace with the last year of my life and just my life in general. Oh funny part so there I am quietly enjoying this moment, there was a girl on the balcony with me but she was quite too so I didn't mind sharing the moment with her, so it was perfect till this man and lady come out to there balcony across the way and the woman started shouting hey girls show us your titts, the other girl was turning red, so I just laughed and said Eh we're really not that type but Happy New Years to you, then the guy pulled up his shirt and said there I showed you mine it's your turn, I said again giggle thanks, but we're not that type Happy New Years, then the woman starts to pull her blouse down and I was like whoa abandon ship abandon ship... They went away after we turned our heads, but they came back and said hey we know there are sexy med students that live there can you tell them that if they take their clothes off we will give them dollar bills hahahaha, that was my cue to exit... Anyways, so before the drunkies the girl next to me did mumble something like well here's another year that began without having someone to kiss, I turned to her and told her this saying my mom told me once, she said that whom ever you spend your new years eve with is a person that will be in your life the most in the new years, but if you spend it alone or with someone you don't know there will be lots of new people to come that year. So i told her that by her spending that moment with me a stranger then she was sure to meet new people this year and she'd have all year to find a guy to kiss that time next year.
Sunday my last day we went to her Bishops home ward because singles was closed. It was so great, really spiritual Sunday school and Relief Society lessons, I was in love. After church we went to this chocolate shop that her bishop owned to make and eat crapes and waffles. It was so good, also had eggnog ice cream mmm. The Bishop was one of the nicest men I have ever met, his wife was adorably cute and his kids hit the genetic lottery. I met 3 girls, and 2 guys that were his kids, the girls were tall with curly slightly red hair, and the guys blondish with piercing blue eyes, they were so so cute. The youngest was 16 and oldest like 27 maybe. They were very delightful people, I felt like I knew them already.
So that was all of my trip. I got really sad when I got out of the car and said goodbye to Danelle. She is just one of those friends that gets me and I could spend hours listening and talking to her. It was a great time, the only regret is that I didn't get to bring back any hotties, only dirty clothes and an Amish card game.
HAPPY NEW YEARS...
Oh just wanted to share something a comparison I heard at church last Sunday. Someone said that Sacrament was like New Years Eve, t with Sacrament we get to start a clean slate every week, we look at our past weeks and the things we could of done better, then we make resolution to do better, all because of the Atonement..
This the only pic I've seen so far from my trip. I forgot my cam. This was New Years Eve...
