Friday, my soon to be Mother in Law came in from Puerto Rico and we finally met face to face (as opposed to over Face Time!). I was very happy to finally meet her. Harry misses her very much, this I know, so I was happy to see them reunite.
We spent the day with her in New Jersey and I got to meet Harry's stepfather, and visit with his siblings and nephews. His momma made us lunch -- pasteles and white rice! Delish!!!! In between lunch and going to one of his sister's homes, we took a walk to the water. It was nice to spend some time talking and enjoying each other's company. We watched people fish and ride their bikes. It was very sweet to just be.
Harry stayed in Jersey for the weekend and I came back to New York. I had planned to hang out with Nat as we haven't done anything together just her and I this summer.
Saturday she and I went to the city to check out a street fair. This one was much better than the one we had gone to the previous weekend. After that we hopped on the subway once again to head down to SOHO. I wanted to look for jewelry for the wedding, but we were unsuccessful. The traveling was very draining. Although we did not find what I was looking for, we did find an empanada truck and shared one filled with yummy chicken! Lol. Upon arriving home I made us dinner and she hung out. She did try to help, but it was okay. I was super tired from the previous day's long drives and the long walks through the city, I think I just wanted to do it all on my own. The next morning I had a race and wanted to get to bed early, but that didn't happen exactly as I had hoped.
The following day was another busy one!
First, as mentioned above, I had my race -- 5 miles -- plus two more. Marathon training is in full effect and exhausting. However, I'm so thankful to God that I'm back at it post surgery.
Post race smile!
After I returned from the race and Nat from the gym, we attended my friend, Marlene's son's christening. It was a very sweet event. Although the priest spoke some excellent words of advice, the babies couldn't wait very long for him to finish. Haha! It was a lovely ceremony and I pray God blesses Hunter and his parents, Marlene and John, every day.
Once the christening ended and we snapped a few photos, we attended the luncheon at Chat-19 and it was simply delicious. We got to catch up with friends, have enjoyable conversation and just enjoy a relaxed afternoon.
Nat and I even got to take a few photos!
She's so beautiful and grown up! I can hardly believe it sometimes. Love this kid very, very much!
All in all it was a successful weekend. Nat went home yesterday after the gym, a walk, and a bad egg and ham sandwhich experience, and Harry returned from Jersey. Poor Nat. She was so sick from having eggs.
She is leaving to head back to school in a week and we hope to have a last supper (till Thanksgiving) with her on Sunday. I will miss her, but am glad we were able to spend a little bit of time together before she goes.
While I am still recovering from the weekend, I am thankful for every moment that came with it!
