Laura

Dear Laura-

I cannot believe it has been 13 weeks since the beginning of this assignment and the beginning to a great new friendship. God has blessed me so much with amazing friends!! You and I have had many great days and nights here in Connecticut!! We sufferred through a HORRIBLE orientation together at St. Francis... and kept each other company a few times when I was transferred to work in the Newborn Nursery. From the movies we saw to the awesome church services... we did and saw a lot! We lived through an earthquake AND a hurricane!! We not so patiently awaited the foliage (which you are missing btw)... We laughed a lot! :-)

I will never forget our many adventures- the major flop of a day that was Harvey Beach!!!! It was beautiful, wasn't it?!? Good thing we drove around for 5 HOURS to find this!!! :-)

 I don't have to say much about this- the Henny Penny... the famous author. The picture that will someday make me very rich. :-)

 

Our incredible "snacks" on the beach.

We did much better in Rhode Island.. Watch Hill.

 We laughed in New York City...

 

Central Park

We "discovered" Block Island together... making memories I know neither of us will NEVER forget!! I will never forget watching you try to figure out the moped...

OR how we felt when we walked out over the bluffs.. amazing-Feelings that neither of us could explain to anyone except each other- because it was a true "God moment".

And Boston...

Where is Paul Harvey?!?!?

I kept my eyes open!! :-)

Enjoying New England... in all it's glory at the Big E with great friends...

Sharing a lobster.. My first (and last) lobster! :-)

And elephant rides.... 

And Middletown... 'Nuff said. :-)

  

 Traveling is hard.. it's hard to be away from everyone we love.. or are learning to love..... ;-) Thanks for being here Laura. For listening to your heart... when life didn't go the way you thought it would- and it turned your world upside down. I'm glad you were here in Connecticut with me. I'm glad I learned to love New England with you. God put you here for a reason for the last 13 weeks and I am thankful for you!! Good luck back home.. Atlanta better prepare itself... you are going to be a GREAT ER nurse!!!! I will miss you for the next month- CT wont be the same! And remember.. whenever you want the honest truth.. when you don't want to hear "it's up to you..".... when you need someone to TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.. I'm only a phone call away (because I'm good at that)!! :-)  Follow your heart Laura- do what you love, and always listen to HIM. Never forget who your first love was. God has amazing plans for your life.. and I'm excited that I will be a part of it!!

Love Always.
