This past Saturday my roommate Jen and I went to the Museum of Fine Art in Boston to celebrate our birthdays. She missed my birthday because she was on an all-expense paid trip to LA to be on America's Funniest Home videos. If you are interested in watching, the episode airs April 19th. I will miss her birthday this summer because I will be in South Dakota and she will be on an extended mission trip to Uraguay (not sure how to spell that...) So... we made our new birthday April 4th.
It's a very nice museum, even though it is undergoing some construction right now. Jen and I are both big fans of the impressionists. As many of you know, I love Van Gogh and there were 4 originals there!
Some of the other highlights:
- Monet's Water Lilies
- The instrument room. Mom - remind me to show you the picture of the trombone with a dragon head for a bell.
- The Egyptian wing
- Painting of St. Catherine of Siena (someone I've been reading about for my Women in Church History class)
On our way back to school, we stopped at the Prudential Center so I could get my niece a birthday present. I'm not going to say what it is, other than that it is very New England. She turns 11 in 2 days! Gosh!
Most of my time is filled with researching and writing papers. It's officially crunch time for me. I am taking breaks, though. Tomorrow my church is doing a Passover Seder meal. On Sunday I am spending the afternoon with a bunch of friends to celebrate Easter. Maybe not as exciting as being in New York - but I'm thankful for having somewhere to go and people to be with.
I wish you all a reflective Holy Week and a marvelous Easter!
CHRIST HAS RISEN - HE HAS RISEN INDEED!

Seriously it was so much fun! Great idea and wonderful day! You're the best.

Hope your Easter was fantastic. I was in Singapore, with no visible signs of Easter anywhere. Kind of sad. really sad.
