Easter weekend

While my parents were here my dad painted our kitchen and bathroom on Wednesday. On Thursday and Friday we played. I took my parents in to the city on Thursday and we walked the Freedom Trail, almost in its entirety. We ate lunch in Quincy Market and then got dessert at Mike’s Pastry, of course. My [...]

Mixed Bag

I was looking through pictures on my phone and I thought it would be fun to post some. So here is a mixed bag of pictures. Can I just say that I love technology. I got to use our tablet to watch Addie crawl. Now the girl is up and walking which I’ll get to [...]

Snowboarding

About a month ago Micah and I went to Mt. Wachusett for a snowboarding get-away. We stayed at the quaint Wachusett Village Inn ten minutes from the mountain. We snowboarded on Saturday and Sunday. We loved staying so close to the mountain because we could snowboard in the morning, go back to the inn for lunch [...]

Finding Purpose

Coming out of college I was 100% sure of what I wanted to do once we moved to Boston. I was going to Northeastern, getting a Masters of Art in Teaching, and teach high school government. I was going to teach for three years, put everything I made towards my student loans and hopefully pay [...]

Anniversary in D.C.

On Saturday the 17th Micah and I began our journey south for Christmas. We stopped in Washington D.C. for two nights as a mini-getaway to celebrate our anniversary, Sunday the 18th. We stayed within a few blocks of the White House so we were able to just walk around and enjoy the monuments and landmarks. [...]

New home

This room has so much untapped potential. Living room. Area to the right with the drum is Micah’s office. [...]

Help, please?

Help! Pinterest is pushing me in to the Christmas spirit, not that I needed help, but while looking through the decoration ideas I realized a problem. I don’t have a mantle or staircase to decorate. 1) Where am I going to put our stockings? 2) Where will my Christmas village go? 3) 99% of the [...]

Pumpkins

We bought two pumpkins for carving this year. Thursday night at our Community Group we had fellowship time carving pumpkins and eating pumpkin goodies. Micah and I carved a Boston city skyline Thursday night. Saturday before the game, that we won’t talk about, we carved a Clemson Tiger paw pumpkin Our house all festive for [...]

The Recap

Wow. It has been over a month since I wrote a post. There have been many floating around in my head, but I never took the time to sit down and write them. I’m sorry. To recap: 1. We made a kitchen cart out of an old filing cabinet. 2. My mom and grandma came [...]

Preparing for Irene

Mama and Daddy, this is for you. I told you we were prepared. Window units are well, not in the windows.   Irreplaceable and non-water resistant items are out of the basement.   We bought water…   And more water…   And more water….   We have our flashlights and batteries ready. Not to mention we moved [...]
