My Weekend : )

On Friday, a few of us from work took a trip to the Brimfield Fair. It is one of the country's largest antique places to shop. It comes around three times a year and covers about 50 acres of land. 

This is Doug and Mel! I had a lot of fun shopping with them.

This is very New England.

This is a picture of me and my boss, David. We have fun! 

This is me at the end of the day. I was tired! Brimfield Fair 2008 was a success!

On Saturday, I went to a work dinner party. It was so nice to be with my co-workers in a fun and relaxing environment. 

On Sunday, David, Thom and his wife went to church with me. :  ) I had a great weekend with lots of good people. 

It is hard to believe it is already September and I am not in school. 

My Weekend in NYC with my APU Family!

Here are some random photos of my trip to NYC last weekend with Phil, Peggy and Jan. We had very packed days of lots of fun and food! I want to go back! 

I'm on my way to NYC!!!

Work is great. I am keeping busy! :  ) The past three days the studio has been attending and speaking at various planning board workshops and public hearings. I have learned a lot about the people I work with and the project as a result of the time spent at all of the meetings. I am truly proud to say I am a part of this team. I really don't know what the future holds for the studio, but even if it were not to happen, I believe the interactions we have with each other at work are the exact interactions God would want us to have. It's not about what it will be in 5 or 10 years, today matters to God and today I believe we are doing what God wants us to do. 

On Tuesday, I got to pray with the team before one of our big presentations, and as nervous as I was, God proved to me again that he was in control of the situation. I have been at work for almost three weeks now and life is slowly getting into a routine. I am becoming more aware of the community and the New England style of living. As I become adjusted, I think about how much God has taught me in these three weeks alone. Several months ago, I didn't know where I was going to live, how I was going to return my school debt, where I was going to work and God KNEW the entire time. God designed this path of life and faith and obedience has led me to this very path. 

Right now, I am sitting on the MegaBus traveling from Boston to NYC to visit with Phil, Peggy and Jan. I am so excited! I can't believe there is wireless on the bus! Well the three of them just landed and I am almost into the city. :  ) I'll have more updates soon! 

My relaxing weekend...

I can't believe two weeks of work have already gone by. It seriously is amazing. I love the town, my roommate and her bf, my new friends, and of course every single person I work with! I really get excited to go to work every day and can't believe I get paid to work with the people I do. As hard as I work, I have somehow managed to have friends and to have lots of fun on the weekends. Here are some pictures of my fun and relaxing weekend:

My friend Crystal and my roommate, Jenny had a really nice dinner at the Cabby Shack. It's a seafood restaurant on the waterfront with live music on the weekends. After dinner, Crystal and I went to Kiskadee, a little coffee shop that plays Christian music. I met a lot of nice people there!


The next day, I went shopping at the nearby mall. It is only 5-10mins away and it happened to be
"no tax weekend" in Massachusetts. The sales tax here is only 5% though and there is no sales tax on clothing! I look at it as an 8.25% sale on clothing! : )



After shopping, I went to the Marshfield Fair with my roommate and her boyfriend. We had such a fun time visiting all the farm animals, looking at all the abnormally large vegetables, cheering at the pig races and eating your typical greasy fair food. It was amazing.




On Sunday, I went to church at Plymouth Memorial Hall. The church I attend here is called New Hope Chapel. I am involved in the young adult bible study at this church. I feel so fortunate to be plugged into a community of believers already.


After church, I went to watch a few of my new friends get baptized! I had so much fun hanging by the pool and watching people give their life over to God. : ) Afterwards, a group of us went to Dairy Queen. It made me miss all the old Pinkberry and 21 Choices runs! Although in 4 days I will be able to get Pinkberry with Phil, Peggy and Jan in NYC! : )

My Weekend

Downtown Plymouth, which is about 1 mile from my place.

There can be quite a few tourists over the weekend.

The Mayflower II can be found downtown.

I had such a fun weekend. Dan, a friend from APU, is from Maine and he came to visit me for the weekend. We ate some pretty good food, went to the beach (which looked like we were in Barbados), we enjoyed the farmer's market, and of course, we watched endless hours of the Olympics.

On Sunday, we met up with some of my favorite Kiwanians from Anaheim Hills/Yorba Linda, Dave and Milli, and the four of us went to Park Street Church and had lunch at the Cheers restaurant. Afterwards, Dan and I hung out in Boston, until the thunder storm almost swept us away. Overall, it was a really fun weekend! 

My Roommate

This is the complex I live in. This is the view from my balcony. It has rained quite a few times since I have been here, but when it does, there is always bound to be a rainbow. 

This is my very cool roommate, Jenny, whom I just love. We have similar tastes in decor and food. :  ) I met her on Craigslist in April and together we found a place and moved in together in August. It was love. : )

My Condo!

I live in a 2 bedroom condo that I share with my roommate, Jenny. She and I are perfect for each other! It is absolutely wonderful. I am two miles from my work and one mile from downtown. The living situation is absolutely wonderful.
