Pictures from the 4th of July in Boston:

I love the Citgo sign in the background!
The river is packed with people in their boats waiting to watch the fireworks.

On July 2nd and 3rd I went down to New Canaan, CT to spend some time with my favorite Quinn family. Sadly, this was the only picture taken!! As always, though, the Quinns never disappoint. Love those guys. And it seriously made my weekend that this little guy decided to be my buddy.

Everyone: July 4th in Boston is the best. You all should have visited. Taking reservations now for next year.

I kind of feel like neglecting my blog lately. Actually, I have been neglecting my blog lately. I've been busy doing a lot of things to get ready for next WEEK when I have a jam-packed 4 days in Utah!!!! One of my bff's is getting married and we have a weekend of major festivities planned. In case you couldn't tell from the Cancun posts, I kind of love my girls, and I can't WAIT to see all of them again. I am lucky to have such close girlfriends that I will be friends with until the sidewalk ends. :)

In the meantime, I am busy....

planning a girl's night/bachelorette party

buying gifts

thinking about converting my blog to wordpress

getting ready to build a website for all of my flutey things

shopping for a dress (when am I not doing this?)

SWEATING

being sick (last weekend)

trying to sell my old flute (fingers crossed)

looking for a new place to live

writing a speech for KA's luncheon

practicing

teaching

oh and working, too

Let me elaborate on a few of those.

1. I was sick last weekend. The blessing here was that it was cooler than normal last weekend, so while I was sick I wasn't too hot. Also, the landlords have been doing some work in our apartment and left for the weekend with my door unable to close. Sooooo I was sick and my door wouldn't close. I had lots of lovely visitors.

2. I'm selling my old flute. This guy sounds serious about it, but if it doesn't work out-- ATTENTION FLUTE PLAYERS: I'm selling my old Miyazawa/Brannen. Give me a holler if you want to try it.

3. My competition is in exactly one month from today. Getting sick last weekend was not what I was hoping for. Going out to Tanglewood this weekend to hear some good music and have a lesson with Linda. Hopefully some miracles happen. P.S. My mom is coming with me to L.A. and I'm excited to get her to myself!

4. Guys. Houses in New England weren't built with Air Conditioning. What the what?

Oh and this guy is coming with me to Utah next week. Kind of excited about that. :)

That picture is from the 4th.
