We have arrived

We are officially living in Boston, well South Hamilton, but close enough! We got up to Massachusetts  almost 2 weeks ago. It is crazy to think that this is our home now! We are slowly adjusting to life in the Northeast.

 As each day passes, we are slowly discovering the difference in life up here. 
Here are some of them:
    1)  We got our drivers license last week. The DMV is actually called the RMV here and it was located in the mall.
     2)  The highways have no lane to merge onto, so when you are coming up on the highway, you have to slow down to make sure there are no cars, then slam on the gas to quickly jump up to 60 mph.
     3) Most gas stations are full service, which means they pump your gas for you. 
     4) There is only ONE Starbucks close to us hundreds of Dunkin Donuts!

I will continue throughout the year telling you of the differences so you can experience life with us! 

For all you those wondering, here are some pics of our dorm apartment. We are learning to like it. It has lots of space that we love, it is cheap and Chris can walk to class. Some downfalls, no dishwasher and no washer and dryer. I did just discover the garbage disposal last night which I was beyond happy about!


My pinterest/friend inspired project. Thanks Robin Johnsey and Caitlyn Joiner!


 Not everything we own could fit into the cabinets- we have less room in the kitchen, so we make it work with extra shelving units!


 Our coffee section- the coffe maker is on the other side of the sink!


Lots more decorating needed on the walls- this is just the beginning. 


Bookcase in the bedroom. More work is needed!


The closest. It is small :( I have stored all winter things up in the attic of the building. 


The Seminary :) 


Heres to the beginning of a new life in the Northeast!!!

  1. Welcome to the Northeast!! I didn't learn how to pump my own gas until I was 21! :)

    Do they have Wawa's up there? It's a great convenience store/deli in the northeast.

    And I owe you a phone call.
