You know, before moving to Boston, I don't think I ever paid attention to Spring's arrival. However, the weatherman, people on the streets, friends, etc... everyone has been talking about the arrival of today for a couple weeks. Sadly, it is only 40 degrees here today, but hey...we are moving in the right direction. Jeremy said last night that he didn't realize how long winter really was here until going through it the second time. Somedays, it really does feel that it will never end!
Things are looking slightly better at Jeremy's work...he has been a bit more busy these past couple weeks, which is great for him. He is such a hard worker and truly does put every bit of effort he has into everything he does. Me on the other hand have been busy at my internship with lots of extra child protection stuff. It is always icky and sad to see babies come in that injured. Our cases are up quite a bit...more than double this time last year is what I hear.
We are excited about moving to our new place. Jeremy, being his engineering self, has drawn a to scale floor plan of our new place. He has calculated all the square footage, and has talked about projects he can now undertake in our city-sized backyard (you should have seen us on our apartment porch building a desk this past summer...humorous to say the least). Me on the other hand, I've been strategizing how I'm going to be putting our painting allowance to work... We are excited because we feel that this is a place we can grow into an put down some roots (as Jeremy notes the layout and location of the 2nd bedroom is in a perfect location for a future "offspring"). And, we hope to be able to put that big open living and dining space to good use by having friends, neighbors, and others over. On the other hand, I've really grown to love our little apartment penthouse, all 558 square feet of it, and will miss it greatly. It has been a good home!
Also, I've been starting the post-Master's job search. Oy, not my favorite. Although I would be really sad to leave CHB, I feel that I need to start looking outside as there aren't any positions right now. I just went to a career fair a bit ago to talk with MGH. It was my first career fair experience and I have to say that although I'm a pretty confident person, it is really awkward to go up and give your "elevator speech" and talk about yourself and your qualifications in 60-90 seconds.
Oh and the picture up at the top is the Boston Public Garden's but that is a photo of Boston at the END of Spring...not the beginning. :O) Still brown here.
