Carie and Co.

My first stop was to see Rev. Carie and her husband, Jeff, and their two cats. Carie is about to have their first child and Jeff took some pictures of the two of us together which I've been waiting for him to email me, so that I could attach them to this post, but they've not arrived, so I decided to move ahead and write anyway.

The trip to NJ was long - I was fine across the Island and fine in NJ, but getting across Manhattan was a horror show. That's the tough thing about driving anywhere off the Island: you just never can tell about the traffic. When, where, or how it might be bad. I took my tried and true faster pathway along the Harlem River Drive and it took me an hour to go five miles. Ah, well...

Once I arrived, it was really good to see Carie. She's suffered a really difficult pregnancy, so prayers are most definitely in order to get her through the rest of it with a safe and healthy delivery. I was, however, pleased to see her happy in her home life and ready to be a mom. If/when I get the photos, I'll post even though it may not work with what's going on writing-wise :)...
