Small gatherings....and trains

We have been spending a lot of time outdoors. Aside from regular walks, motorcycle rides, we have enjoyed some of the outdoor festivals, like the American Asian Festival, Irish American Festival, hiking in parks and Benjamin Franklin Bridge, and swimming in our building pool. We also enjoyed BBQ at my brother's place for Memorial Day. We went to a Summer Story Slam BBQ event in the city with music and storytelling. With the great weather here we decided to take a day off and enjoyed the beach in Ocean City. We had a wonderful time!

Update on my job. My office finally moved to downtown Norristown so now I can take the train in or the Frankford Line to Norristown Speedline. I am enjoying the commute in, and not having to drive into work all the time. I get to read, meet interesting people, and pick up breakfast on the way to work. Lots of neat places to stop and pick up food and other items on the way and back from work. My boyfriend got me a kindle and I am enjoying the time now that I can use it more to read and play games on it.

Lots of friends and gatherings have taken place in the last few weeks. We celebrated my boyfriend's birthday and my birthday by having a small group of friends share cake and conversation. My brother and wife came to visit as well. Been spending time with friends having some great conversations about life. It's great to have good friends you can trust and share things with. I thank you all for being there, and know that I am there for you always.
