The Weather in Boston

OK - I know I have not posted lately. Sorry about that. I have actually been enjoying the outside world. I am blown away with the weather up here. We have 7 months of winter weather and then all of a sudden we get spring. For the past two weeks, we have had WONDERFUL sunny weather. It got warm last week at a whoppin 85 degrees. Here is the difference from Virginia - it does not get HUMID. It is a nice 85 degrees. Blue skies, sun shine, pretty white cotton balls of clouds, green grass, blooms on the trees, it is pretty. So because of the weather, I have been trying to get outside as much as possible.
One great thing is I thought about the Virginia State Fair this weekend. I thought about it because my little town of Newton had it's own Kids fest carnival this weekend. It was pretty and cool and looked like a lot of fun.
A lot has been happening at the church. We are trying to wind things down with the end of the first year of Sunday school. Next Sunday, we are having Youth Sunday, when the youth lead the worship service. We have been working hard on that. Lots of talented youth who can speak, sing, and play musical instruments. They are so mature.
I also got to do something else. I went to the ballet again. This time, to see the modern ballet by the late Balanchine. Several of my parents play in the Boston Ballet Orchestra. There is a picture of me at the Wang Theatre, right before the performance. It was a WOW time. Very modern type movements and angles. The music was phenomenal (and very hard I heard). I went with one of our members whose husband is leaving tomorrow for Afghanistan for a year and a half. Their family is also in Richmond. Keep them in your prayers.
Guess what next weekend is? It was a year ago that I came to visit the church that I am currently serving. I came to interview with several groups, meet with many many people, and meet with Charley. A whirlwind of 48 hours but it was exciting. That happened a year ago. THEN, the weekend of Memorial Day will be a year since I graduated from seminary!! Man o man, this year has gone by fast.
Other things are happening and I am thankful every day that I am here. I will share those at another time but know that good things are happening. Thank you for your prayers, emails, and encouragement. You are awesome!!
