NYC and the In-laws


Several weeks ago, Kisti and I, along with some of our friends went to NYC. The weather was perfect and we took advantage of this by walking through Central Park. We were able to attend the Guggenheim Museum where they had a fascinating display from the work of Frank Lloyd Wright. I loved seeing his many designs and interesting take on architecture. We also walked across the Brooklyn Bridge and visited the World Trade Center Site. During the late afternoon, Kisti and I visited the Manhattan Temple while our friends went to mass. The temple was beautiful and we had a wonderful time.

We had to stop here! I had an awesome slice of bacon pizza.

I also wanted to write a quick comment about two people who have had a profound impact on my life, albeit indirectly. Ried and Gloria Pope are my in-laws and I must admit that I was a bit apprehensive to meet them. (I am sure most people feel like this) After I meet them, I realized that I had no reason to be nervous about them, they are wonderful people. More importantly, I have them to thank for raising such a wonderful daughter. I see their influence on Kisti from her drive to be the best doctor possible, to her desire to lead a healthy lifestyle, her relentless work ethic and her mental toughness. They truly are amazing, I (we) appreciate all of their unconditional love and support.
