Harbor Walk
Lindsey came into town on Friday and on Sunday we did the Harbor Walk (everything up here is on Sunday--very weird). It was a six mile walk around Carson beach that benefitted one of the pedi clinics at Tufts. These pics were taken by Bill (a guy I work with). I'll post pics from the rest of her visit later.

mom and dad dropped me and my bike (not my racing bike, my other bike) at the train station this morning (i'm riding my bike to the train now to save parking money) and left for ohio. we had a great time. did lots of site seeing but there was so much they didn't get to see. and we ate amazing food. seriously. amazing. pray for safe travel as they head back home.
lindsey will be here on friday and megan is coming july fourth. i'm excited!!

i love this picture: double trouble
this is whitney's current favorite activity (with climbing into the fireplace coming in a close second):

good stuff
my friend, radhika, sent me this poem earlier today and i love it! i've been singing it to myself all afternoon
"I'd rather be a could-be if I cannot be an are; because a could-be is a maybe who is reaching for a star. I'd rather be a has-been than a might-have-been, by far; for a might have-been has never been, but a has was once an are." Milton Berle

please pray
please pray for safety (and sanity) for my parents as they are driving up here from texas. they are leaving this morning and should be in boston tuesday night. they will stay until monday, so after we put my apartment together wednesday (i'll take pics), they'll have a few days to play tourist and see what the city is all about.
I am blessed to have parents who are willing to not only store my stuff for me, but then get it out of storage, pack it in a uhaul and bring it to me.

megan's graduation!
CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN!!!!!
quick summary of megan's graduation weekend:
thursday- got to the airport super early (the subway only takes 30 minutes to ride to the airport contrary to what the locals told me) just to find out my flight was delayed
friday- massage by anneke (AMAZING), visit with mom at pantego, nacogdoches with megan (jalepeno tree = AMAZING)
saturday- longest and coldest graduation ever... seriously over three hours of sitting in a gym with the air conditioner blowing on high is kind of miserable... but totally worth it to see megan get her master's...she has worked incredibly hard and put in no less than a million hours of work...congratulations megan, you've earned it!
amanda, megan, haley:
megan with her "diploma" (please notice the huge heels on her shoes):
i LOVE her:

miss independent
i started my apartment search back in january and was blown away by how much housing cost up here. everything i've found has been way out of my price range or incredibly small or way too long of a commute or in a bad part of town...
fast forward to yesterday: i decided to go look at a place that i had considered in january but was out of my price range. it is in framingham, where i currently live, and is only a mile from the commuter rail- so i'd have the same commute i have now simply substituting the drive to the station for a walk to the station. they have great amenities (a workout facility, an olympic sized swimming pool, tennis courts, a guard shack with 24 hour security, a clubhouse, a solarium, grilling area, a billiard room, a hair salon-random, in between buildings are sitting areas, etc., etc.) and a decent sized one-bedroom (compared to everything else up here). come to find out, they were running mother's day specials on top of their spring specials so if i signed up yesterday i got another $100 off a month (it came to be about $300/month less than they were before) plus a $100 visa giftcard... SSSOOOO....i signed a lease... a 12 month lease...and i'm kind of freaking out cause it seems so permanent
you can check out their website:
http://www.bayberryhillestates.com/
this is my floorplan:
also, they will paint one of my walls for free (i picked "salsa") and they are adding shelves in the pantry for me.
when my parents bring my stuff and i move in, you can come visit me!!!!!!!
