Defying Gravity

I wanted to blog about my Friday night! I saw my first broadway musical, Wicked!! It was so AMAZING!!! I know I don't have much else to compare it to, but I would highly advise anyone who loves the book series, or musicals in general to go and see it! The costumes, the songs, the set...it's all fantastic!
The story goes like this...my fantastic co-teacher, Stephanie (or Steph-lovah:) knew that I was thinking about leaving and wanted to do something nice for me so she got tickets....damn good ones if I do say so myself....because she knew how much I love the books! So we got all dressed up and hit the town! We took pics like tourists, laughed, cried, and had sooo much fun! I'm so glad I got to share my first show experience with her! Here are some pics of the evening:

A blur of the last few weeks

It's been a while since I last blogged and partially because I didn't know what to tell the world, but now that the rollercoaster is over, I can come clean!!

For the past few weeks Adam and I had been traveling back and forth to Boston-Metro West area for job interviews and looking at neighborhoods. I am in love with all things Boston, and I have always thought that I wanted to live there, and it seemed like it was all going to fall into place, but you know the old Lennon line: "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans!" The interviews didn't work out and I guess it's safe to say it's just not our time to move. In the end it's for the better...realistically it would have been so difficult to make a move right now, because of money, family, and the holidays right around the corner.

So what does this mean for us...we don't quite know. We both love Boston and all it has to offer, and I think it is somewhere in our plan, just not right now. And it's not the only city/area we have thrown out there. We're just trying to live for the moment and appreciate what we have right now, even if it's not the best or what we want for the future. Whatever is meant to be, will be and we'll re-evaluate our situation after the holidays which will involve travel, the birth of our nephew, and lots of merriment!!

So that's it...we've been given some lemons, and with them we're making some lemonade, taking some tequilla shots, and adding some to our water! In other words, there's a lot Adam and I want to do, and plenty of time to dabble in it all!
