Big Month for Boston
Warning, this post is kind of a downer.... I am not sure how familiar anyone is with the events that took place in Massachusetts in April, 2013, but it hasn't really been a great year overall to be honest. While trying to maintain the theme of staying positive on this blog, I need to also be realistic by addressing what has taken place in my home state. To begin on a happy note, my friend Kate who I met while at Pepperdine for grad school, came out to visit for about a week. We went on hikes, went to wine tastings and even went para sailing in Santa Monica. It was such a fun visit. That's the Santa Monica pier behind me while I'm floating... While hiking deep in the Los Angeles mountains somewhere, a little prairie dog had peeped through the ground and I was very afraid of him. See that tiny pile of dirt? Yeah, he's somewhere in there. Now fast forward about a week and it's Monday, April 15, 2013 or Patriot's Day, as referred to in Massach
