alright, i prepare for my trip to the greater boston area. i finally set up voicemail for my cell phone, i emailed peeps, i wrapped gifts (one to go), i think i almost have everything done. now i'm trying to figure out what i need to do...

i can't wait to get down to massachusetts. for one of the the first times, i'm realizing that there are friends all around where i'll be. i'll be in beverly, michelle is in quincy, drew in lynn, amanda in peobody, megan in franklin, christine in...where is christine? around there somewhere.

it's odd though, because beverly, danvers, lynn, etc...i've known these places all my life. i've been going there for years, was born there, etc. but it's always been where my family is. now it's where my family and friends are. it makes the prospect of going there to visit all the better. i am exceptionally excited.
