VACATION DESTINATION

In mid-July Erin and I will be vacationing to Boston and Portland, Maine. While we are in Boston I hope to get tickets to the BoSox game and visit Harvard since I plan to go there for for my PhD work. One of those statements is not true. I will let you figure it out. I am looking forward to the relaxing atmosphere Maine will provide and the tradition that will be evident in Boston. Many people probably think we are weird for going on vacations to the northeast. That's OK, we are not the beach bum/Disney World type. More power to you if that is what you like. It just is not for us. I hope you (readers) are able to have a vacation that fits you this summer. If you would like to share your plans, please do.

I'm A Maine-iac

At some point at the end of last year Erin and I felt a draw to the New England area. After doing some semi-serious looking into it I discovered that a staff member and her husband at the Grad school used to live in Maine. They graciously had us to their house one night and told us all about Portland, Maine. Erin and I were sold and I have been researching Maine on the internet ever since. We have a connection from people that the Alexander's know, that furthers our confidence in our draw to the northeast US. I am not sure how the will of God works and I am not sure if it is God who is leading us to Maine, I hope we can figure that out. I know that Maine was not ever originally on my list of places to live when I finished grad school. My list was pretty short though.

So thats it for know, some interest and a connection and hope for some wise discernment. I still have time here in Memphis and I still need to visit, but right now we are considering it.
