Foxboro, Fenway and the Upside Down Kingdom

The first beautiful weekend in New England finally arrived… and I was off of work to boot. For those of you that know me well, this weather is what I’m all about. From volleyball to Mellow Mushroom. Frisbee to Virginia Beach. Whenever the temperature got over 60 degrees I was outside doing something.

Even though I traded North Carolina day trips for North Billerica train stations, this weekend was no different. Saturday my brother and I took off to Gillette Stadium to see an MLS match between the New England Revolution and the Houston Dynamo. I loved (almost) every second of it.  From the hour-long drive to Red Robin Burgers to the game itself, I don’t remember the last time I had that much fun... Well except when I realized I forgot the tickets to the game, but we got that sorted out with the ticket office fairly quickly. Still, few moments in life can top driving with the windows down and belting out a song at the top of your lungs. Bonus points if people stare at you.

 

Sunday was a little more reserved. I’ll be honest with you guys, I hadn’t stepped foot inside of a church in a pretty long time until today. And I’m not even sure today counts since their service is held in a movie theatre. Regardless, I found myself stepping out of my comfort zone and into theatre #12 at the Regal Cinema near Fenway Park. By most standards, the church is a small one. Maybe 100-150 or so people were there today, but it was still incredible to be surrounded by a church family. We talked about the Upside Down Kingdom of God, and how God chose to build His kingdom through the poor rather than the powerful. It was just another reminder that Heaven will be filled with all sorts of people. Beggars, Fisherman and Kings are all loved by God the same. I really liked it there and I look forward to returning Easter Sunday. Afterwards I took my parents to Chipotle just because my mom had never been. Steak Bowls FTW. #TeamSteakBowls

The rest of my day compromised of watching my recording of the Liverpool-Manchester City game (LIVERPOOL!!!) and… being alive? Yeah that’s pretty much it. Oh. And I took some pictures.

Also, if you're looking  for some summer music might I suggest this?
