Rockefeller Tree Lighting

So last year I was in Dominica, but I promised my brother that I would make a trip up to New York the following year to see the lighting of the Rockefeller Tree. It was a quick trip but I had so much fun; I was able to see my Oma, aunts, uncles, cousins, and my bro!
It was freezing cold, but so worth it! We were actually standing next to the extended family
members that owned the tree, small world!

Being a complete tourist!

 After the lighting of the tree we headed over to Broadway where we watched
the musical production, Something Rotten

The next day, my bro and I met up and we took on New York City
together ♡

 After the election, New Yorkers took to Union Square subway station and left a wall of anonymous notes; it was pretty amazing to see in person

 The coolest thing ever!

I can't count the number of times I've traveled up to New York. It's one of my
favorite places to visit, you never know what you're going to see or who
you might meet. Being able to spend time with family is always priceless, they mean so much to me.
One of the highlights of my trip is always stopping off
at one of the rest stops and picking up a cinnamon roll from Cinnabon....soooo good! 
I'm 100% sure I get back on the road smiling ear to ear....awkward if anyone looks over and sees
me driving, haha! 

Have a lovely week, I have an exam coming up so I'll be living in the library!


The Birthday Girl


This past week my sister celebrated her birthday! Perfect timing, my mom
was also in town so we headed over to Cheesecake Factory
to celebrate another year!

Oh Look, Pie!


 
I hope you all had a lovely Thanksgiving, I had a wonderful day spending time with loved ones. I've missed the past 2 Thanksgivings with my family because I was in Dominica so this was super special for me! I'm so grateful for my family, their support and understanding during the past 2 years have been much appreciated. Of course, the food was amazing!

All smiles! After studying at the library all day, I had to get a quick workout in the night before Thanksgiving!
 
 
I usually make my "famous mashed potatoes" however, this year I switched it up and made candied yams for the first time. They didn't last long so I'm going to assume they were alright! ;)

Back to it; knocking out a set of Becker questions while enjoying Christmas music
at Barnes and Nobles, their eggnog lattes are so delicious! ❤

Cast A Stone


Good morning, I hope you all had a lovely week!
Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!
 
 

 
This week I made a sun-dried tomato cream Mediterranean dish. I found the recipe on Allrecipies.com and then modified it
a little bit to make it my own! It tasted wonderful!
 
Morning devotion
 
Food for thought 
 
Dragon needed a bigger home; he was moving so fast that I could barley take a
picture of him!

Gym flow, pit stop to Starbucks, continue studying...
sounds about right!
  
This is such a quick and yummy breakfast to make on those days
when oatmeal just isn't going to cut it!

H&M has started their Black Friday promo, I wanted to buy the entire store!! Later that evening, I curled up with a good read for some much needed R&R.
Burnout is so real, you have to know when to take a break, then
get back to it!

Sweet tooth

Week In Review: Election Week


 

Say hello to my little friend....Dragon!


With the weather cooling down I had taste for chili, I added a side of rice to go with it. It was really simple and quick to make, directions are on the
back of the McCormick chili packaging. I chose the 93% lean beef, it was lower in
total fat.


So glad I was able to take my granny to vote, so worth the day off from Step prep
xoxo


Study, Rinse, Repeat <3

Love What You Do

 
Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it.
 ~Steve Jobs
 
In my natural element, study time

Happy Anniversary Mom and Dad

 
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8
