My Life in Pictures

Instead of a boring and long narrative of the adventures I've recently undertaken I will endeavor here to portray my life in pictures.  I will give brief explanations, but expect nothing more.  This will cover the last 2 months of my life... here goes nothin'!

Boston Harbor Islands with my friend Amy Stuart:

A little more of the Freedom Trail with my friend Alexandra:  (we really only made it as far as the canolli and then we played with the string from the box and then it started raining :)

Sailing on the Charles River: (unfortunately Alexandra's phone went for an eternal swim on this particular outing, which was also my first experience sailing.  I quite enjoyed it.)

Funny note from Carter that I found on my wall one Sunday when I got home from church:

Beach trip #1, Hampton, NH:

Alpha Male: My friends seem to think that it's necessary to compete for the title of "alpha male"  It really is quite humorous.  This was the footrace/ "sword" fighting round.

Boston Public Gardens with Amy: (the statues had on Bruins jerseys in honor of the Stanley cup)

Beach Trip #2, Cape Cod, MA with the Preece's and co.:

With mom and Dad at Young Women's camp in Greenville, SC:

Visiting with the Adam Leckie crew in Orlando, FL:

Crazy Milton kids and a cozy car ride up to Tallahassee, FL:

Beach Trip #3, Panama City, FL with the Shields:

Blueberry Picking with the Miltons back in Tallahassee, FL:

My great exodus from South Carolina, as I began my longest solo voyage back to Boston:

Enjoying the 4th of July and the amazing fireworks along the Charles River:

This is obviously not an exhaustive list as I did leave out the less exciting things, like packing up my room at home, but I feel it paints a fairly accurate picture of all the good things that are going on in my life.  

Casual Conversation with a 6 year-old

Carter: Have you dated anyone?  

Me: nope.

Carter: You should date someone.

Me: You're probably right

Carter: After you know where you're going to be you should find someone to date.

Me:  Yeah, I'll think about it.  

End of conversation. 

Birthdays Birthdays Birthdays!

The girls turned 4 on May 8th and they had a very cute fairy themed birthday party: 

I turned 26 on the 16th and had  a very cute big kid party :)

MIT

 A couple weeks ago MIT had an open house.  I saw some really cool stuff: wind tunnels, robots, cool computer apps, you name it! But one of the coolest things was when they dropped a piano off a building- a tradition I don't really understand about the drop deadline for classes.  People flocked like vultures to get a piece of the piano (which didn't really splinter like I'd imagined)  that had been dropped.  It was a funny experience.

The following day, Sunday, I went for walk with my friend Amy Stuart and we wandered a much emptier MIT Campus and enjoyed playing in the Stata:

with the MIT Mood Meter- very fun face detection:

 and the giant chalkboards that are available for anyone to grafitti:

It was such a lovely Boston day!
