I suppose it's been quite a while...It's funny how in that much time lots of things have happened, and yet right now life feels pretty uneventful. But the best thing since last blog was: going home for Spring break. Nothing like seeing family, sleeping in, letting other people be in charge, cooking whatever we like, and taking someone to experience NH for their very first time. It was quite strange to transition from the mild (dare I even say warm) DC weather to the still-frigid cold that comes along with the Northeast in even late March, but oh it was glorious all the same! Note: I really should practice up on Just Dance before my next return home- Mary may have won the title a few too many times- got to get back to my A game!
Trip highlights:
- Going into Boston: climbing Bunker Hill, getting veggies from the farmer's market
- Brookline Sculpture trail with snow (except for that I forgot my darn fitbit!)
- Lounging around- watching tv, playing just dance, having 4000 cups of coffee
- Cooking family dinners once again
- Going to Northern NH (or more Northern) and seeing the mountains and the Mt. Washington Hotel
After that it was a 10 hr bus ride back to DC. (Which went by surprisingly fast...). Two friends came up from NC for a fun weekend of hanging out and seeing some sights. And then of course there was Easter. We had an official real-people Easter lunch after going to church. It's weird doing grown up things like hosting an Easter Lunch- it feels like being a little kid playing house. But it was pretty darn great if I say so myself!
Unfortunately tax season took and continues to take a toll on me! I hate filling out all the tax forms (unlike the rest of the population, who I'm sure loves it...) but both a blessing and a curse is that some of my state taxes still haven't reached their deadlines...which means I did two thirds of my taxes but now still have one state left to do...Is there no end?!?!
Anyhow, that's all for now. No more of this months-without-posts though. I'm going to begin posting at least weekly!
Until next time,
Rachel
