Pie Crust Promises

I promised myself this summer!!! This summer-work and everything would not swallow me alive and I would update my blog…Well we all know how that turned out, but here I am again, because when you fail there’s only one thing to do…BLOG! Okay, the summer went by radically fast, each day when I didn’t have a class flying by with no regard for how much I was appreciating it. We moved to our new place which is a lovely town home that hopefully soon I can post pictures of here. We are fine. Grant’s parents came for a great visit and I miss them so much. Then I went to New York!
OMG NEW YORK! It so…was not what I expected. When I came to Boston I was expecting a loud crowded stinking kind of place that was old with a lot of history, but I assumed it would be a place I said, oh it was nice, but I wouldn’t want to live there. Then Boston and I fell in love and have lived happily ever after, so when I was getting ready to go to New York I assumed, well, I bet I’ll love it-after all I love Boston. New York was everything I expected Boston to be oh so long ago before-It was loud and crowded and OMG the smell, New York City stinks to high heaven. I know every city has garbage trucks, but my lands, why is it in NYC you can always smell them. Okay, so I learned a lot in my class there and I definitely got to see a lot, but yeah…It’s a nice place to visit, but I’d never live there. The class there was rigorous, starting every day early and lasting all day, then we had homework at night, so needless to say the sight seeing was almost non existent. I came back in August to work, which I had missed so much! And Grant!! It honestly seemed like the last month flew by just as quickly as the first half of the summer. Goodness did I say Becky came down in May? It was right before we moved and her visit was splendid there are a mother load of pictures posted on face book and if you’re reading this and you don’t have face book, well, then just trust me when I say the pictures were great and it was wonderful seeing Becky!
So now I’m starting back to school, last week actually, back to hours in front of my computer every night and hours doing homework on the weekends. It’s hard, but I’m still in that honeymoon beginnings of the semester, when I still think I’ll keep all my pie crust promises about keeping up with readings and homework and such. I have so much to tell everyone who reads here, but I’m just typing furiously on a break at work so it will have to wait. Don’t worry, ha, I promise, I’ll update soon. Thank you to all of you who have emailed or called me and given me encouragement and support over the last couple of months. You know who you are, and I really appreciate it all.
