Sherman and Judith's Visit

Ryan’s parents have been visiting us for the last few days. It was great to have them here. Ryan picked them up last Wednesday night. After picking them up we all attended a dinner hosted by the LDS club on campus. It was a great dinner and fun for the parents to see the school and meet LDS alumni and students.

On Thursday Ryan brought his parents to class with him--they attended all three classes that day. Then on Friday, I had to go to work and Ryan took his parents to Concord. In Concord they explored the revolutionary war sites and visited Louisa Marie Alcott’s (author of Little Women) home.

Then on Saturday we went to the Boston Temple and to the Museum of Science. While visiting the Museum of Science we went to an Electricity Show, and watched a demonstration of lightning created by the world's largest air-insulated Van de Graaff generator. It was amazing to see the lighting that was created.

On Sunday we went to church and enjoyed a relaxing day at home. Then on Monday we enjoyed Candlepin Bowling and lunch at G’Vanni’s—a quaint restaurant in Little Italy. All in all we had a wonderful visit.

Next weekend Ryan and I are headed to Texas for an Oferee weekend. We are really excited to go and learn more about the company and living in Texas. It will be a great weekend. Then shortly after Texas we are head to Fort Lauderdale for our Caribbean Cruise. Let the good times roll!

Update

Life is busier than ever for Ryan and I. We are both running to accomplish all that needs to be done in a day. It is crazy how fast life goes when you are working hard. Although we are busy, Ryan and I feel so lucky to be here in Boston having this great experience at Harvard. I thoroughly enjoy working there and Ryan loves his classes.

This past weekend we had the opportunity to hang out with close friends. We went to Patrick and Patricia's home on Friday night and enjoyed dinner and good company. It is great to get to know people better and just enjoy being friends. Then on Saturday night, our friends Brittany and Scott came over to our house for dinner. Ryan and I really enjoy having so many great friends from school and church. It is nice to have people who can relate to your circumstances.

Ryan's parents come out on Wednesday, so I have been busy cleaning and grocery shopping. It will be great to have them here. Hopefully it warms up so we don't have to stay inside the whole time.
