Michael and I are leaving for New York tomorrow morning, and I'm so excited. I haven't been back since I moved in May '09, so it's definitely about time. I get to see some of my favorite people in one of my favorite cities with my favorite husband. Okay, he is my only husband, but he's the best, especially on road trips.
Since we cook most of our meals at home, we buy a lot of fresh food, so I spent the day trying to find ways to use those ingredients that I didn't think would last the long weekend. I made broccoli soup and mashed potatoes, and I put them in the freezer. I also made applesauce since we had leftover peeled and cored apples from making apple dumplings earlier this week, and we had "leftover night" for dinner. After packing lunches for tomorrow's road trip, I think we will have done a pretty good job on cleaning out the fridge.
This will be our first time boarding Polo, and I'm a bit nervous about it. There isn't any good reason to be; I just hope all the people and other dogs like him and get along with him. He still gets very rambunctious around others. I can't imagine what it will be like to leave my child with someone for the first time, but hopefully I don't have to worry about him/her jumping on others.
We don't have too much planned for this trip. Pizza is definitely going to be eaten, and we are planning a long run in Central Park on Saturday morning. I know we'll be going back to Redeemer for church on Sunday morning and having brunch afterward with my cousin who lives in the city and some other friends. I'm sure there will be pictures and stories in a future blog post. I can't wait :) Gotta go make our trip playlist now.

Good idea to make stuff and freeze for later. I always find it challenging to prepare for trips because of the abundance of food in my fridge too.
