new york calling

we were fortunate to take a trip to nyc last september. it was epic- as my son would say. we walked as much as we possibly could, we did times square, we went to central park, we ate bagels, and the 'best' pizza in new york. we saw wicked on broadway, went to a yankees game, ate at a swanky restaurant, walked the brooklyn bridge. we had such a great time.
i was pregnant, however. having morning sickness on the subway, during the play, while walking the city was less than desirable. though, it is hard to forget vomiting in the little bags provided on the plane as your touches down.
none the less, i have been obsessing about new york for many months now. it made sense when they year anniversary marker was coming up. now it is what it is. i want to go to new york! never forget, i am an only child, prone to red faced, kicking, screaming, sweaty fits. i feel like having one now.
never mind the fact that we have a 10 month old who is still nursing. don't look at the fact that we are doing dave ramsey, trying to get out of debt and build wealth to insure a more comfortable future. disregard completely the fact that we have saved no money for a vacation of any sort. I WANT TO GO!
hillsong church has a plant in new york, which certainly inflames my desire to go. for those of you who don't know, i have a ridiculous passion for hillsong, united in particular. but guess what, many of the people from united travel overseas to be part of this church plant.
oh, how i want to go. i want to take my children. yes, i said i wanted to take my children. i realize that i am the biggest scaredy cat-worry wart ever, but i guess i am willing to swallow all of that for such an opportunity.
i doubt we will be going. i, therefore, lament.
