Judie - thanks for your posting! We will figure out how we can be supportive to Emily when she has the surgery. Without much notice, the airfare will be expensive - but we will figure something out (how far is Chicago to drive?).
Summer has FINALLY arrived in Boston. Today is a magnificant day - not humid - near 80 degrees - perfect. I am taking off Friday from work - so it will be a nice long holiday weekend for me. I have yard work to do, Leah informs me that I need to declutter and clean my house - so maybe I will attempt to do that. We will be going to the Cape on Sunday to visit my mother and swing by Meredith's house (my mother's house) for a cook out. Hopefully the weather will be nice and warm and we can sit out on her deck, or go to the beach. I ordered a new bathing suit from Lands' End and it arrived in the mail last night. The best part is that I bought a nice beach COVER UP to wear over the suit and hopefully no one will see me in the suit!! Ugh.
We moved Leah back to Wentworth on Sunday - so she is moved into another dorm on campus - closer to where her classes take place. I actually like this dorm. She has a "penthouse" view overlooking Huntington Ave - she is on the 5th (top) floor. Move in day was a little hectic as we had to move her stuff from one dorm to another (crossing the railroad tracks was interesting as the cart we were pushing got stuck in the tracks!). There were long lines of people trying to get into two elevators with the large carts - the line moved at a snails pace. BUT, she is all moved in (finally the last move in at Wentworth - we just have to move her out one more time!)
I cannot believe that Sarah's trip is coming to an end. I haven't heard any updates lately - hopefully we will hear something.
Enjoy the kick off to summer weekend!

Hi all,
ReplyDeleteI forget how to post...since it's been a while so I'm going to leave a comment. I've been a little frantic with finishing classes, figuring out travels/getting home/summer plans/trying to experience everything before I leave etc so finally I am writing again.
It's funny summer hit in Boston because today (May 21)Fall/Winter has hit Western Australia with monsoon rains and about 65 degree weather...although the rain is kind of refreshing since we haven't had any in the past couple months. Tonight I have my farewell dinner with my program advisor and our CIEE program.
But I was able to upload almost all my photos from the semester to this website...

So hopefully you can all see some of the things I've been experiencing. Leah's new dorm sounds really nice (and Leah- I hope your bday was good!) I'm also really sorry to hear that Emily is having surgery. Also, I will try to get my Mum onto this blog because I don't think she's figured it out yet...and I will definately get her onto this blog when I get home in June.
Hope all is well with everyone and you are enjoying the sunny days and late sunset!
