june weekday haps

thinking about blogging all that happened on the weekends in june is making me feel extremely overwhelmed so we are just going to hold off on those moments for now.

..i wrote that a week ago but hey hiiiii. 

june was so nice and went by so fast. here are weekday things that happened slash i liked. 

 i always love walking by the harvard stadium at this time of day, it always looks super delightful

so many facetime/skype times! taking screen shots makes me feel like we are more than just phone friends. also worth noting: this was my first time facetiming with my old companion sister wang, my friend david grant, and brynne's baby morris!! thank you, technology. 

lots of bike rides with myself or kristin 

my boss and his two assistants, megan and meg

the bosses are having a baby! slash they already did but it hadn't happened yet in this picture. we gave them a diaper cake, they loved it as you can see. 

best 57 year old work friend from texas, john bridwell, brought us back these macaroons from france. 

i always thought i hated macaroons but THOSE THINGS WERE SO GOOD. maybe i just hate american ones? who knows. 

left:june weather was nuts and one day it was so cold that i wore a sweater, a scarf, and boots. what?

right: also, i've been better at eating lunch at work. see? a little panara with my best mexican friend alberto. 

more biking. lots of yoga. super obsession with my new backpack. 

(it makes carrying things so easy and convenient!)

boston loves learning. welcome to fred talks: TED talks by your friends. 

still obsessed with the location of my church and how green it is

when it wasn't freezing it was raining! for days and days and days 

(which i honestly appreciated because summer without central air is THE WORST)

friday afternoons were spent with bff nat and our veteran boyfriends and were always topped off with tons of delicious ice cream from bedford farms. maybe this is a good time to tell you that nat is leaving me and is moving to texas soon. we are very sad about this. 

sadly you cant really see the rainbow in the picture above but it is there and i loved that it looked like it was coming out of the word "friendlies" on that building in the distance and there is a baby rainbow on the building across the street.  ..it's the little things.

bless asian friends who make it in the korean newspaper and eating whatever it is i got at that korean restaurant.

unedited boston beauty. this is the trail we use to get to the church, i think

it is especially beautiful after a rainstorm when the sun is setting and felt happy we were walking rather than biking so we could further enjoy it. 

amber turned 30! even though she looks 12.

my closet fell down one night - don't worry, i fixed it - and i had utah hair for a minute.

scenic storrow drive

all you can eat ice cream festival with mccall. didn't feel so hot by the time we left but it was definitely worth it (probably)

oh hey! and then the boss had her baby and i photographed the event. this picture was taken at 5 in the morning and i didn't even care because she is the cutest. if you have any "A" names that you think are the best go ahead and throw them out there - she is still nameless a week and a half later haha. 

i thought i blogged these guys already!

..so that was disappointing when i found them in a draft, wordless.

may loves to rain. most of the time i'm thrilled it isn't freezing anymore so i'm okay with it. i was especially okay with it when i walked out of the temple and it looked like this. it was perfect.

boston got it's very own shake shack recently and people are pumped about it.  

i think it is nice and all but i don't know if i will ever understand all of the hype! or why it is fine for a small hamburger and baby shake to come to $12

chelsea introduced a few of us to an app ellen degeneres made called "heads up". you just hold it up to your  head and then guess what it says from the clues people give you. considering how much we all love headbanz it is great and everyone should probably install it on their phone asap. 

so here are some fun things that have happened at work recently:

1. i have become a hand/arm/shoulder model and feel pretty famous when i see large posters of said extremities around the office

2. after you've worked at vecna six months your security allowance goes up so you need a new badge with a green background instead of a blue one. since i'm way overdue for my new photo i tried to do it the other day but for some reason meg (my trusty co-worker who i share an office with) didn't like any of them. i can't imagine why?

3. one time my blouse matched my ninja star! like, perfectly. it was awesome.

4. a guy at work so kindly made a replica of my face out of clay. ...i thought it looked more like that monkey.

when it's not raining the weather has been the dreamiest. the other day i decided to hang out at harvard yard while waiting to go to dinner with some friends and thoroughly enjoyed it. 

(like, really. i couldn't have been happier than to just sit and watch the foreign friends in front of me video tape themselves and cry laugh tears as they watched what they had just recorded)

i finally took some time to go into the curious george store (the only one in the world mind you!) and also noticed my favorite tree is all leafy again. yay!

nice weather also means more street performers which makes me happy

and i just wish i could describe to you how perfect the weather was that day because it almost felt magical it was so good. 

and to end this random post i just have to say that boston is beautiful and i feel very blessed to live here. k that's all.
