2 weeks down

We've officially been here two weeks today! By the looks of the apartment, you might think we just got here an hour ago! (I'm kidding, it's come a long way, but still has a ways to go). So far we really like it here. The apartment is feeling like home, although the town and the city is still foreign and "vacation like". We have been to this church called Christ the King Dorchester the past 2 Sundays and even went to a community group last week and a service day on Saturday. We are really liking it and beginning to get to know some people! Last week, I took the afternoon to go over to a couple's house to help the wife with the kids. They have two young children, and Sarah (mom) just needed an extra hand to hold a sleeping baby! And I signed up for the job! It was a great time to spend with her and get to know her. We are already feeling connected to this community and forming what I hope to be lasting relationships.

More PICTURES

This is the State House, also known as the state capitol. Paul Revere and his sons put the gold roof on top many many years ago! What history!!!!

Here we remember John Hancock.

And Paul Revere was buried here too! This cemetary is behind one of the oldest churches called Park Street. Benjamin Franklin grew up in this church.

This is the North End, home of many Italian restaurants and bakeries. It is all authentic as this is the Italian neighborhood of Boston.

The next 2 pictures are from a drive out to the coast from our apartment, these are all on Quincy Shore and Wollaston Beach

On Sunday, Matt and I got up early and decided to take a drive out to western Massachusetts and then up through New Hampshire and circle back around near the New Hampshire coast. It was beautiful!!!

This is the small diner we stopped at for breakfast.

Just a pretty scene in New Hampshire. There were beautiful lakes and rivers everywhere!

This is the State Capitol building of New Hampshire in Concord.

The last three pictures are the coast near Portsmouth, NH. It was so pretty and we hope to make the trip back up there when the weather is warmer and we can actually enjoy the water!
