Done with church shopping... finally...?

I think I have finally decided on a church. It is located in Cambridge which is awesome although my reasons for deciding on this particular church are more meaningful I hope. Gone are the days in which I had either a five minute drive or a five minute walk from church. It is important that I get plugged into a church, however, and that I find something other than work to throw my time and energy into.

Going to church in Cambridge will help ensure that I make it to downtown Boston at least once a week, which is a good thing. It is a beautiful city and every time I go downtown I am more convinced of it. After church I met Bethany for lunch here:




The breakfast burrito was delicious!

The long weekend has been good to catch up on rest and relaxation although the UM/MSU game on Saturday did not do anything for my blood pressure. I did go to the high school game on Friday night. Although we got killed by our opponents, it was fun to hang out with some of my students at the game. They also talked me into going to the 7th and 8th grade football game the follow morning which was fun because we won! Starting tomorrow we will push ourselves to Thanksgiving. I am starting to realize what 200 school days actually means. At this point I can barely stand to think about what it will be like come next June. But we take it one week at a time...

My new look...



This is me as a teddy bear. Apparently, several students have named this infamous teddy bear after me. Now hopefully they do not blow it up...
