Staying Busy

The title of this post pretty much sums up our previous week, and probably every week from here on out. Chuck started REAL classes this week so that plus homework plus socializing with the LGOs has kept him extremely busy. As for me, I have been running errands, interviewing for jobs and also socializing with the LGOs and their SOs. Rather than bore you with all the details, I will show you our past week in pictures.

This wasn't technically in the past week but just a little over a week ago. Long story short, Chuck's BFF and our Best Man Branden flew in last minute (his work sent him) and took Chuck to Game 6 of the playoffs between the Celtics and Miami Heat. They had like 8th row tickets and took this sweet sign with them. They didn't get on TV but that's ok. The Celtics lost unfortunately. Maybe Rondo was just too nervous to play in front of two former high school and college classmates?

One day I walked to CVS across the river and came upon Charles Street. So I had to take a picture for Chuck, obviously. (This is the Instagram copy.)

We've been doing a lot of cooking and baking. Chocolate chip muffins, yum.

Garlic shrimp and Fiesta Lime Rice. SO. GOOD. Here is the recipe for the rice: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2011/04/fiesta-lime-rice.html This website is amazing.

This week we discovered the on-campus karaoke bar called The Thirsty Ear. We went with a bunch of LGOs and SOs on Thursday night and it was a blast. You can see Chuck up there in the middle, pretending to play guitar on the random Guitar Hero guitar that someone handed him. They were singing Sweet Home Alabama. And yes, it appears one of them is studying while also singing but I promise he wasn't.

Yesterday we went on a "Duck Tour" with a lot of LGOs and their families. We had enough people that the entire bus/boat was all people we knew, so that made it a lot of fun. This was the Captain of our bus/boat "Old Glory." The Duck Tours take you all over downtown Boston and then into the water where you float around on the Charles River for a bit before heading back. Our Captain was a tad crazy but that's ok, it was still fun. And we got some great pictures of the city.

Another Instagram photo:

After the tour, a bunch of us went to get dinner together and ended up at a Thai restaurant. We had so many people they gave us the whole back room to ourselves, so that was fun. Except this dude hovered over us the whole time.

Other highlights from the week? I got a job (yay!), I had lunch and went shoe shopping with some SOs, we went to some cool Irish bars Friday night, and did some wedding planning. Today we worked on planning our ceremony and music for the reception. Chuck suggested we do our first dance as husband and wife to "Play That Funky Music White Boy." So as you can see we got a lot accomplished. :)
