A day in the life of us
So I decided that our stories are fun, but most of you all don't actually know what our "normal" days look like. Here is a little peek into our world:
Mondays:
6ish am Brooks' alarm starts going off (she will snooze it at least 1 or 2x)
6:30am Brooks is out the door heading to Weston (suburbs of Boston)/Andrew sometimes
leaves at the same time
7am Brooks is with her first client - only 30min long
8am 2nd client of the day (about 20min away from the first) 3 ladies she has been working
with for 3 years! They are her honorary Mom's away from home.
9ish am Andrew arrives at work
9:10am 3rd client of the morning - a woman expecting her first baby
10:30am At Cambridge School of Weston to teach a morning conditioning class for 7 students
12pm Class out - lunch with students
11am -1pm Andrew in class
1-2:30pm office work/emails or errands (brooks)
2:45-4:15pm Teach a 2nd class - Weight Training for 15 students
5pm Last client of the day (30 min away from school) - 9yr. girl I take running
6:30-7pm arrive at home depending on city traffic
7:30pm - 9:30pm For 10 weeks this spring Andrew and I did a Bible Study on Finances at Park
Street Church that just ended 2 wks ago (www.crown.org)
8-11pm (currently) Andrew arrives home - depends on the day and how well his thesis work is
coming
Tuesdays:
5:40am Brooks' alarm starts going off (again she will snooze it :)
6am Brooks leaves for 1st client
6:30-8:30am 1 st client - Husband and wife team
9ish - arrive at school
9-10am Andrew arrives at work/MIT
10:30 -12pm teach Conditioning class (www.csw.org)
12pm lunch with students
1pm -2:30pm possible clients, errands etc...
2:45pm - 4:15pm Weight training class and running conditioning practice for girls lacross team
4:20pm Triathlon class - taking students running
7pm Bible study for both Andrew and I (www.parkstreetcafe.org)
9:30pm home
Wednesday:
Pretty much the same as Monday, sometimes Brooks does not have her 7am client and so we both leave the house at 7:30am for her first client at 8am.
Thursday:
7am Andrew's alarm goes off
7:45am - 8:45am Andrew goes to a Men's breakfast at the Union Club down the street from our
apartment (they have 4 local pastors speak on rotation)
9am One of 3 things happens
1. Brooks stays sleeping and Andrew goes straight to work
2. Andrew comes back and decides to take a morning nap with Brooks or
3. Brooks meets a friend for coffee and girl time and Andrew goes to work
10:15am Brooks take the T to pick up the car at Andrew's work
11am -12:15pm Brooks teaches Conditioning class
12:30 - 2:30pm Brooks usually has lunch/coffee with a friend somewhere around the city
2:45pm -4:15pm Brooks back at school to teach triathlon class - swimming (no weight training
class on Thursday's)
5pm Brooks to MIT to work-out Andrew. I have been training Andrew to get ready for his
physical fitness test for the Air Force (which is next week!!)
6:30-7pm Brooks Home and sometimes Andrew too (depending on the thesis)
Friday:
This is also almost the same as Monday and Wednesday. Andrew does not have class on Friday's so he just works on his thesis the whole day. Friday nights we tend to lay low because we are both tired from the week...We have a date night in :)
The weekends change alot because of our travels, but when we are here the usual is:
Saturday/Sunday:
10-11am Sleep in, make a big breakfast (this is all Andrew department - he makes awesome
omletts!!)
11am (Sunday) Listen to the morning church service on the radio
12ish Andrew leaves for the lab to work on his thesis
12-6pm I wander around the city, clean the apartment, do laundry, have friends visit etc....
4 or 6pm(Sunday) Andrew and I go to the evening church service at Park Street. It depends on
Andrew as to which one we go to. If we go to the 4pm he will sometimes go
back to the lab until around 8-9pm.
8-9pm (Saturday) Sometimes we get together to have dinner with friends, otherwise Andrew
gets home from the lab late and we stay home and watch a movie together.
He is usually completely wiped out from working so much on his thesis.
Hope you all enjoyed the peek into our life. I am hoping to upload photos from our "world" so you all can get a feel for where we live!
