week 1

Well, my parents came to visit about 3 days after we were moved on. We really hadn't even settled in and were/are still trying to figure out just how exactly this whole thing works. So it has been HECTIC as of the first week, but my parents went back home yesterday (mind you, it was great to see them again since it has been so long-- it has just been hectic for moving aboard). Anyhow it seems like it is going to be an awesome life. We are enjoying the heck out of it so far.

We also didn't realize that when we were moving to the town of Charlestown (a neighborhood of Boston-still within the city) we were moving to such an awesome place. While my parents were here we didn't get to spend a ton of time on the boat but we did get to do a lot of exploring. Charlestown looks like such a sweet place. It is all upscale but laid back and just nice. Gaslamp streets and all. Sure beats my old neighborhood in Lansing MI!

We took a ton of pics when my parents were here but they are all on my parents camera, so whenever they get those mailed to us we'll put some online.

more later, I'm sure!

the move

Jenny here. The move went great. We had beautiful weather and EVERYTHING FIT! It was grand.

Now we are just trying to quickly get things finished up before Justin's parents arrive tomorrow. This means a lot of running around for Justin today, and a lot of cleaning for both of us tonight.

We tried the 3 day trial of the internet at the marina and it was too awful to spend the $ to sign up. Instead, we have decided to go without internet for the summer and see how that works out for us. We live close enough to the north end which has a great coffee house that we both really enjoy, and they have free wi-fi. I don't imagine we will be updating too often (I am doing this from work), but I am hoping we can update at least once a week.

Anyway, my 15 minute break is up and it's time to get back to work.

More soon.

countdown continues....

33 hours til we move aboard.... I know that's a little absurd, but we are seriously excited.
