I have been guilted into posting more about our semi-interesting lives, so I just wanted to make sure everybody out there knew that we aren't stranded somewhere in the vast midwest. We made it to Tucson in July and here is our cute new place. Some highlights include the new TV (see left hand corner with the Olympics on), a kitchen with a dishwasher (besides Boyd), a walk-in closet (not pictured...) and new carpet! It's amazing what impresses you after living in a 400 sq. ft. studio. But we still miss Boston a lot. Here are some of our favorite things about Massachusetts that we miss dearly:
1. Seeing our beautiful nieces, new nephew and MaryBeth and Andrew on a whim
2. Our amazing jobs at Mass General Hospital
3. The fall leaves at Mt. Auburn Cemetery
4. Christina's ice cream shop (with fresh whipped cream)
5. The T
6. L.A. Burdicks decadent hot chocolate and chocolate mice
7. Harvard sqaure
8. Not having the ice cream melt on the way home from Market Basket
9. The sense of accomplishment that came with knowing the streets all around Boston
10. Biking the minute man trail
11. The wharf
12. Good clam chowda
13. The Patriots, Celtics, and Red Sox (Hmm, no local loyalty)
14. Our intellectual ward (but not always the primary that came with it)
15. Reading a good book in the Public Garden
16. Newbury Street
17. The North End
18. Sailboats, crew, and water sports in general
19. The 4th of July and the Boston Pops
Well, you get the idea. And a few things we don't miss:
1. MIT
2. The blistering cold
3. Bad Mexican food
4. Parking tickets, ridiculous parking laws, and generally being towed
We may end up back in the great east coast, but for now here's to looking forward to rodeo break and 60 degree December weather in Tucson.

Thanks for the update! If you and Boyd are ever Vegas we should hang out. Here's to 60 degree weather in December!
We have a North End here, too. It's where all the ultra-liberal lost souls hang out in adorable old houses. (I heard someone call north enders that once, and I decided to adopt the phrase, even though I'm not the most conservative person myself.)
Hooray for more spacious living quarters! And once again, I am so jealous that you get to be in Tucson! I am so visiting in December though :)
Yay for more postings! Also, yay for matchy matchy black expidets on their sides with flat screen TVs on top... Our living room has that, too!! ;)
