Friends and Family Visit Boston

Our first guests were Stephen and Elena while they were still dating (Sept. 2005).




Next, my mom came, but no pictures were on my computer to share :(. Then, we had guests for New Years Eve (2005): Stephen and Elena (still just dating) and Jason L.



Then, Grandmommy came for an extended weekend visit to see us and Dellynne (January 2006).

Then, Kelli Ziemer came over St. Patrick's Day weekend (2006). We got to tour the city and the Northshore and even dine in Cheers (but nobody knew our name).

Then, Labor Day weekend 2006: Mark Spivey, Ashley Hood, and Kim Griffin (now McGinn) came for the weekend. We toured the city, went apple picking, and saw the RED SOX play against the Blue Jays! Thanks Mark!


Then, Mom AND Dad came for a visit (October 2006)--more apple picking, a Duck Tour of the city, a picnic on the beautiful Northshore...


Next, New Year's Eve 2006 rolled around. This time, we had a crowd: Jason, Stephen and Elena (now married), Kelli, Rob (already lived here), Dave, Brien, and Dellynne (came back early for the party). We loved playing in the snow in Newburyport, fine dining dressed in semiformals, dancing downtown, and just hanging out together in our 1 bedroom apartment. We feel so blessed to have these friends!




Then, during my February vacation (2007) from school, Delta and Bryce flew up to visit and play in the snow together. It was such a special time. We got to be a part of Bryce seeing and playing in the snow for the first time!


Later in the spring, Elizabeth came to visit during her spring break (March 2007). I loved giving her the tour and just catching up.

Then, Fredrick (Bud) and Leslie came to see us for a long weekend. Bud and Jason and Leslie all went to Covenant College together. While they were here we did more touring of downtown, seeing sights of the Northshore and had lots of good food and laughs together.



Then, Mom came back for a memorable trip in April 2007. Grandmommy and Aunt Dellynne were up here as well. We had a girly weekend and ended it with Mom, G'mommy, Jason and I going to RED SOX vs. Braves! Ask my mom about her amazing story of how she got home from that adventure!


Finally, we can depend on Jason Luther to keep the tradition alive for New Year's (2007). We couldn't have all of our friends back for New Year's this year, but he still came for the celebration--this time in Rockport, MA. He and Jason kept the football watching tradition alive with all of the New Year's bowl games.

So, if you want to come join the fun...we still have four months left! We truly have been blessed with sweet friends and family to come visit and be a part of our lives in the Northeast!
