Our Very First Visitors!!!!

We had the BEST weekend! We received our very first visitors! Erik and Ryan came for the weekend to see us and to attend the BYU/Boston College game. What fans! We had a great time and it was wonderful to be with family again! We managed to squeeze all four of us into our little apartment with plenty of room to spare and to play games.

The four of us on our way to the BIG game getting ready to take the T (subway).

Eriks' first time on the subway! He was so excited and looks like a pro!
This is Ryan holding on for his life!
This is a picture of our view from the T. It is the charles river as we are crossing over from cambridge into boston.

After about forty five minutes on the T, we finally made it to the game. We had a great time! It was fun to see the Cougars play live again. Reminded us of old times... There was a huge section of Cougar fans which even included about twenty missionaries!!!! Eventhough we ended up losing, we couldnt have asked for a better game!

After the game we went to the NorthEnd of Boston which is also known as "little italy". This is us at the Fire Station. I couldnt pass up a better oppurtunity for a great pic. (the boys were good sports). We went and had an authentic italian dinner that was simply magnifico!

We returned home at about 8:30 and we all just crashed. It had been a long and exciting day! We were sad to see Erik and Ryan leave this morning. We had a great time with them and can't wait for our next visitors!

The Outdoors

This is a picture of the Charles river that is located right across the street from us. (Sorry for all the cars in the pic.). We will get a better pic for you later...

Shaler Lane. A very peaceful and beautiful street with trees making a nice archway. Everyone is super nice! We had a neighborhood bbq yesterday for Labor Day and met a lot of new people. We had a great time!

This is the entrance to our group of four apartments. We are located on the 2nd floor right apartment. There is a buzzer to let people in this door so that they can come up to our apartment. So eastcoast!

We are continuing to enjoy our little Cambridge adventure! Christian started his first day of Law School today and Katie starts a secretarial job tomorrow! Summer is over and back to work we come!...

Some finishing touches!


Here it is, our final wall is finished. A nice desk for Christian to study on, and a nice table for Katie to serve her well prepared meals and delicious snacks and cookies. Stay tuned . . . tommorrow we will take the tour to the outdoor premises. Keep the comments coming, and the packages. All our love, your poverty stricken alum.
