Christmas in Boston
My christmas and new years was spent in Boston this year. It just did not seem right that I was walking around in flip flops, shorts, and a tshirt and people were saying merry christmas to me in Hong Kong, so it was good to get back to Boston where it snowed 3 times while I was here. We have had more snow now, only two days into 2008 than we have had all of last winter! It is totally crazy! I was able to stop by Chicago for this break and see some friends from college there, I was able to see Valpo lose to the Badgers in Wisconsin as well...I guess their sports as average as usual still, so sad. From there, Boston was my home for the rest of break, which was full of food, being lazy, shopping, and relaxing with some good rest and relaxation. I am already itching to head back to Asia, where things seem to be on fast forward compared to New England. One night, my father surprised our family with a limo and took us into the Boston Pops where they had holiday music, along with a few dance floors to cut a rug! It was fabulous to go there and dance in front of hundreds of people while they looked on. It was too bad that Sarah and I were the only ones who really danced since everyone else was mainly too old to do so! I leave tomorrow at 4AM for a 7AM flight out of Boston, I have everything set to go and I get to see my parents in about 9 months. I think time will fly, its now time to head to work again...
