After yesterday's nuts BUSPH orientation (which took the WHOLE DAY) it was really nice to devote this day to finding a bike route to the temple and enjoying the afternoon there.
There were only 3 patrons at the temple (it was a Friday afternoon on labor day weekend...), so all of the old ladies working there were hovering around me like I was a new bride, asking me about BYU and Boston and everything. They couldn't get over the fact that I had riden my bike up from Brookline ("oh my goodness! You're so athletic!"--and how, let me tell you) and one of the Sisters about kicked me out at the end of the session because she didn't want me riding home in the dark.
The Boston temple is very simple and beautiful. It was kind of a miracle to find something so familiar here in a place I have never been to before and it brought some comfort to my nagging homesickness.
Tomorrow the landlords are back from vacation (I've spent this week pretty much entirely alone) so I am excited to have other people in the house again. My new floor mates should be moving in soon too(!). I guess that means no more dancing around the house in my swimming suit....at least not after tonite....I love you -erin
