New Hampshire

There's a kid in my program who's from New Hampshire and every time I hear about New Hampshire I think of a shirt he wears that says, "New Hampshire: better than the old one."

A few weekends ago we had a tri-ward campout in New Hampshire at a campground the church owns up there. It went Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but I drove up with two of my roommates Saturday afternoon and we stayed overnight and left on Sunday. It was only like an hour to an hour and a half away which was surprising to me. It was way fun though and we had a skit night on Saturday that was highly entertaining. The weather was nice during the day, but my heavens, I very nearly froze to death that night. I was wearing so many layers, but still I couldn't sleep because of the cold. So that wasn't the most fun thing of my life, but what can ya do? Just a note to anyone who wants to go camping in New Hampshire--you really will need a sleeping bag. Really.

Saturday night watching the BYU/Utah game. Still a touchy subject.

When in doubt, wear rain boots.

That's my new mantra for Boston, because every time I think about wearing rain boots and then don't, I regret it. Take last night for example. The second we walked away from our house, it started POURING rain. I was soaked from the knee down. So, lesson learned. Rain boots are your friend.

Last night we had a girls night out while the men were at the Priesthood session of General Conference. We went to this restaurant named John Harvard's in Harvard Square. It was gooooood. There were 22 of us there, and it was so fun! Those girls are so cute. I was glad to continue the tradition of having a girl's night, even though I'm not home to be able to have one with my mom and sisters.

Also, any hints for doing hair in the humidity? They would be much appreciated. Come to find out, my hair hates me. Or at least hates the humidity. Last night I straightened my hair right before I went out, and this is what it looked like when I got home:

Attractive, I know. Note to self, save yourself time and energy and don't bother doing your hair, because you'll end up looking like an idiot no matter what.

P.S. I feel like I look like an elderly person in that photo. Squinting, even with my glasses on. Love. it. :)
