June in Boston

Yes, I have neglected to post on here, leaving some to believe I gave up, sank into a hole somewhere, etc. Actually, its the exact opposite! I am still loving Boston more than ever. Like I have said before, I really feel at home here. It still shocks me when I remember that I have only been here for just over 2 months! It feels like much longer. I am excited to see what the next 2-6 months has in store for me.

I did leave for almost a week to visit family in Maine and a quick weekend trip to Vegas that was planned before I moved. When I landed back in Boston after the trip I was so excited to be back and realized how much I missed it over the 5 days prior.

I am now hanging out & relaxing on my roofdeck having a summer drink and snack with Val and her dog Padme (who isnt as relaxed as Val & I! She hates the deck and seems like she thinks she will fall through the TINY cracks with each step! It quite cute...). Its so relaxing up here with the nice weather, just a bit overcast, but enough sun and breeze to make it really enjoyable and watching the sailboats on the Charles, etc.

I am so excited to have visitors over the month of July. My sister will be here July 3rd- 26th to nanny for a family she nannys for out in Seattle. They are originally from Boston area and have rented a house on the Cape for a month. They paid to have Claire come out to stay with them Tues-Thurs and then will send her back to Boston on the commuter rail to spend every weekend with me. I am excited to share with her whats its like living in the city, getting around by relying on public transportation, etc. Also in mid July one of my closest and friends and her 4yr old son, Conner are coming for a week as well. I am just as excited to spend time with them in my city and see the city through the eyes of a child, which I am already aware as can be completely exciting.

I also have some preliminary pics up of my apartment on my Picasa site:

I will have some more pics of being out in the city this month and of my apartment once my sister helps me with GOOD decorating :)
Hope everyone is well! I do miss my friends in LA...and hope to see you all sooner rather than later! MUAH!
