For those unaware, this past couple months have been quite hectic. Rick took a job with Eli Lilly as a Pharmaceutical Rep in Boston, MA, so at the end of October we moved out here to begin a new chapter in the Swensen family, HAVING A JOB! We were very excited and a little nervous for this new experience, but so far it has proved to be worth it. After going through the trials of moving cross-country, we are finally settling into our new home. Chase is loving the extra space to run around and is growing every day.

And I am making friends at church and feeling very ready for this next baby to arrive NOW instead of Feb. 5th. We're grateful to be out here, miss family and friends, but look forward to growing and experiencing new things together here in Boston.

Our room was right there in the middle (2nd floor) and our balcony opened up to a view of the blue blue sea. That little island you see out there in the distance is Palomino Island . That's where the beach was located and we had to ride the ferry out there to play in the sand and get some sun (unless we wanted to lounge around the pool, but I'm more for the authentic beach feel). Approaching Palomino Island on the ferry. Cute ain't it? We took the El Yunque Rain Forest tou...
