everywhere project

It was Friday the 11th and I was heading home. Back from a month and half long Canada adventure. I was so excited that I was going to spend a week with family and friends but as we all know life doesn't always agree with our plans. Opportunity knocked and when I answered the door it was Boston, it was a job, 8 days worth. It was an opportunity to good to pass. This leaves me a day and half of New Jersey time, then I have to head out again. I thought I wasn’t going to get any time to enjoy being home, considering the limited time but you know what? it was amazing. I received a numerous amount of hugs from people, I didn’t not expect to see during that time, it was really surprised how things happened… I couldn’t have asked for anything more.
