"The father instantly cried out, "I do believe, but help me overcome my unbelief!"" Mark 9:24
I feel like this verse illustrates how I am feeling right now. The father who is desperate for his son to be healed by Jesus. Help me in my unbelief.
March has flown by just like that. In between the usual run of the mill activities, SJ has been chalking up his running goals by completing the 10K Spring Fling on Roosevelt Island and the Half Marathon along Bay Shore on Brooklyn. Definitely impressed by his discipline and fitness, and somewhat glad that being preggers has given me the excuse to opt out (he was still bugging me to do the 5K run). I've nonetheless fulfilled my role as his ardent supporter and photographer by waiting around in the cold each time for that photo-moment. I must say it is very difficult to run 21K and still look glam.

Since being grounded after 28 weeks, we decided to book a bus to Philly for our last out-of-NYC trip (well I guess Jersey doesn't really count) during Spring break. My first time there was a hit-and-run visit with the Step 2 CS exam so not much exploring there. Spent this trip discovering the historicity of the state and lots of monumental events that took place there! We were cursed with bad weather though, so I'd remember walking 3 hours on a walking tour in a gloomy not-so-light drizzle.

Stayed at Club Quarters on a Hotwire deal and got 15% off their in-house restaurant Davios. Treated ourselves to a fancy steak dinner topped off with a yummie dessert.

I guess that will be the last of our travels till...indefinitely. We've finalized our plans post-graduation and with that...here's to Spring and the last lap of NYC. :)
