My monthly update.

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant; if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. ~Anne Bradstreet

It's finally starting to look like spring here. The trees are turning green at the bottom of the mountain, the pears and cherries are blooming.

Spring also means Alumni Weekend. And the Junior Senior banquet, which the Juniors are in charge of. Both of those are this weekend. I've been really busy planning the banquet, but I think it will be nice. At this point, I don't even care that much, I'm just really ready for it to be over.

We were in Boston this last weekend over our April homeleave. It was beautiful. We walked alot. We stayed in the theater district, right downtown. There was a Maggiano's half a block from our hotel room, actually, I could see it from our window. So of course we had to hit that up. We went to Quincy Market and Paul Revere's house and the Old North Church. On Saturday we went to Concord and to Minuteman National Park, the Old Manse, Old North Bridge, etc. Unbeknownst to us, it was the day before the Revolutionary War started (April 19) two hundred and some hears ago. So there was a reenactment and all these people there to watch it. It was kind of cool and kind of crazy.

Also, we were both a little sick while we were there, so Saturday we drove back home and got a little rest before starting the week back up.

And we've got 32 days until graduation!

I'll try to post some pictures of our weekend soon.
