Anyway...after my birthday, I flew back to Boston to begin our Spring semester of school. That flight was COMPLETELY different from going to California. I flew from San Francisco to Milwaukee and then Milwaukee to Boston. Both flights were on time and half empty. I had a whole row of three seats to myself during both flights, so I was able to spread out and lay down and do whatever I wanted without feeling confined to just one seat. It was such a luxurious flight...I'd say better than first class! (Not that I have ever flown first class to compare this too, but I can imagine.)
School started and during the first week, I had a show to attend with my Broadway buddies! We saw In the Heights, which was pretty good. The choreography was incredible and it was so much fun to watch the cast dance! The story line was alright (a bit typical in a coming of age story) but the dancing was what made the show for me. :) And, speaking of Broadway shows, I have another one to go to tomorrow night! We are going to see Dreamgirls. I watched the movie last year, and was a bit disappointed because I had heard it was good. But, I'm hoping the play is better than the movie (which was my same experience with Mamma Mia). So, it should be fun tomorrow night...we'll see. :)
Then, that first weekend back, after our first week of school, was Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend. So, we had that Monday off from school, which was nice. A group of people from my class and I went to Vermont for the weekend and went snowboarding and skiing. I skied and it was a lot of fun. There was a group of about 20 of us and we rented a cabin down the road from the ski resort. We drove up Friday night and came back Monday morning. It was fun to be with everyone and learning to ski was great too. I took lessons and after skiing Saturday, there was a deal to get two more lessons (with 2 lift tickets) plus 3 more days of skiing at another, smaller resort down the road, which included rentals! It was such a great deal and I couldn't pass it up. So, the beginners took another lesson Sunday morning and skied a bit in the afternoon. And, now, we have one more lesson to go back for plus three more days of skiing on our own! :)
Then, it was Stephen's birthday! Happy (belated) Birthday Stephen! There are no more teenagers in my family now...weird, huh?! I called him on his birthday, so I'm not really wishing him a belated birthday, but I suppose it's belated on the blog.
Last Saturday, I went to Portsmouth, New Hampshire with my Bible study group from church for brunch at this cute, YUMMY, breakfast place called The Friendly Toast. The food was delicious and so filling. I think that was the only thing I ate that entire day because I was so full afterwards. After eating, a few of us walked around the town for a little bit and browsed through some of the shops. We went to the edge of the river and across the river, we could see Maine, so that was kind of fun. Still have yet to go to Maine though. Then, we just walked down the main street and into some shops, but didn't buy anything. We took pictures as our souvenirs. I haven't put them on my camera yet though, so they will be coming soon...
As I have written this, I have realized that January was a "big traveling" month for me. haha! Started in CA, made a brief stop in WI, returned to MA, went to VT for the weekend, and went to NH for the day. So many states! haha! Just as a side note... :)
And, now, it's February!!! Time sure flies when you're having fun! But, it was also my grandparents wedding anniversary today too!!! Happy Anniversary Grandma and Grandpa! Love you both so much!!! I have been so blessed by your marriage, as so many people have. Thank you for demonstrating Christ's love to so many people and for being Godly examples in my life. It was so great to see you and spend time with you while I was home...Happy Anniversary! :)
