We are officially living in the great state of Massachusetts! It is no doubt the hardest state to spell out of all 50 states if you ask me! Christian and I have been together in Boston for about a month and we are enjoying all the time we have together (considering neither one of us is working or in school currently!). We have had time to check out the city and do some fun things. We had some friends come into town who had a connection with Captain Jack Sparrow and they were able to get us on a sunset sail on the Boston Harbor. It was a beautiful and breathtaking experience.
We also took an hour trip to New Hampshire to go to Hampton Beach. It is a beautiful beach in a cute little town that came right out of a movie. I can see us spending much more time there!
We are really excited about all the adventures that Boston allows us to have! We are getting more used to using our legs than our wheels. We are also getting used to a life without fast food, as there is none in the Cambridge area, and to our little old house that we live in with all of it perks! It is very different that what we are used to but we think we will really enjoy it.
Our ward is a fun one; it is full of young families where one of the spouses is attending Harvard or MIT. So it is very intellectual and I just sit and listen and sometime wonder what people are even talking about. It should be a pretty interesting experience; we look forward to getting callings in this ward and serving soon.
As far as work, Christian will start school and teaching piano at the beginning of September. I am still looking for work on a daily basis. I have applied now for over 85 jobs in the last 5 months. I have had several interviews and I'm hoping that something will work out very soon. Talking to different people at church and around the city it is very difficult to get a job here due to being so densely populated. Many of the students that graduate from the 20+ colleges around here tend to stick around and want jobs as well. We know that we have done everything we can do and that Heavenly Father is looking out for us.
We are excited about this whole blog thing and think it'll be a great way to keep everyone up to date on what is going on!

Well isn't this just nice. I guess Kentuckians are stupid while Bostonians are intellectuals.
Sounds like you’re enjoying your new environs immensely, as well you should. I would love to at least visit Boston someday, not only for the cultural and geographic experience, but especially for the historical significance. MFS scheduled me for a due diligence visit there a couple of years ago but due to scheduling issues were never able to consummate the plans, much to my chagrin!
And if “diesel” thinks Kentuckians are “stupid” vs. the “elite, and effete” of Massachusetts, what does that make of us Idahoans?
Hey awesome blog, I like to see your sunshiney faces...looking good by the way! Peace Ouuuut!
Hey Gentries!!
I am SO JEALOUS of your being in Boston. It is a fabulous place to be. Compared to Kazakhstan, especially. :) Which ward are you in? We were in Cambridge 2nd, but sort of always wished we were in Cambridge 1st. Well, good luck and we can't wait to see more on this blog! (this is Christina, by the way, and I'm totally putting words in Brooke's mouth. muahahaha)
Congratulations!! I settle into my apartment in Queens Labor Day weekend. Looking forward to a train trip to Boston!! Hope the cd got to you without trouble!
Congrats on the move! Bostonians may be smarter than me.... but can they run as FAST as me???? I don't think so...
Love your blog -- it'll be fun to check in and see how you're doing. Plus it was a bonus to get links to some of the Frosts blogs. What a great family. Happy first day of school Christian! Love, Julianne and family
