Happy Mother's Day

“A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts.”

Happy Mother's Day! Brian and I went to St. Patricks Cathedral today for church. His autistic counsin Danny was being confirmed. The church is gorgeous as you can see! But it's a little too commerical for me. During the mass the cardinal said "we'd like to thank Sirius Satellite Radio for broadcasting us this morning" haha, I mean, that's a bit much!




After that we went to visit his grandmother in the hospital. She had surgery on Friday and all went well. She can go home tomorrow, pray for a speedy recovery. Just everything made me miss my family. I hope you all had a really great Mother's day, I love you.

May has been an Exciting Month!


So I just accepted a new job with a new firm in NYC. It is called Investcorp and I am so excited. I will be working in their hedge fund department. I ALSO get freeee lunch everyday because they have a gourmet chef on staff - it's a fancy place haha! I am starting there on May 27th! This is a picture of my new building. It's right on Park Avenue!



Brian also is currently in the top 10% of his class in the police academy and just finished his Firearms Qualification Cycle. His sergeant told him he would be a great candidate for the Firearms Award, which is an award he would receive at graduation. He also just finished his Drivers Training and passed w/ the 2nd highest scores on both levels, qualifying for the 'van' training that is only for the best drivers. He also is trying out for the NYPD baseball & basketball teams that travel around and play other states PD's and Fire Departments. They are apparently really good!!

That's it for us =)
Love you All!
