WOW!

It's been a while! Honestly, the rest of Winter and Spring were pretty boring, (with the exception of a few friend visits in April!) and I don't think I broke out my camera until last weekend! (tsk, tsk!)

This Friday, we're headed west to Seattle for an extended trip filled with lots of fun events and plans to see friends and family.  I truly cherish the time I spend when I'm there, as I miss it SO much! As I mentioned above, we had friends out to visit in late April and that really helped with the friend withdrawals!

During this trip to Seattle, we'll be showering Baby B with loads of gifts as these two anxiously anticipate his arrival in mid-July.  Katie and Derek will be wonderful parents and I can't wait to see them with baby "Bob" (as I like to call him!)


My sister graduates from HS on Sunday, Father's Day, and we're looking forward to seeing she and my dad who is in town for a few months.
Monday, we'll head up to the San Juan Islands for a little R&R, just the two of us. We're so looking forward to this, it will be nice to take in the scenery, go whale watching, get massages, and be "islanders" for a few days!

Next Saturday, June 25th, we'll witness these two lovebirds get hitched! They've endured being apart for much of their relationship and I couldn't be more happy that they're about to start their new life, together! Kristi, you're an amazing friend and I'm so blessed to have had you in my life since high school, I wish nothing but love and happiness to you and Ben!


The rest of our trip will be planned as we go but no doubt will include lots of family and friend time! Perfect, if you ask me!

Florida Pics

I'm finally getting around to looking through our pictures from Florida. To be honest, I didn't take very many! Here are just a few....We had a great time visiting family, it was a nice and relaxing few days away!  Getting out of the freezing Boston weather was just what we needed! Can't wait to go back!!

Going here. Promise to take pictures.

Happy New Year!!

This NYE was as about as low-key as they get! We had a quiet dinner with J+J and the kiddos (my in-laws swung by around 11:30pm), drank yummy wine, played board games and rang in the New Year with lots to look forward to. While 2010 was a good year, I know 2011 will be even better! Each year I come up with at least one ridiculous resolution that never comes to fruition. So, this year, my resolution is really not to have one.  I just want to live my life better, period. I think many of us strive for those unrealistic goals come January 1st... Why not do what you know you're capable of and concentrate on that? When I say, "live life better," I don't have one particular thing in mind. But, I think it all starts with your attitude. Looking at things with a positive attitude and letting the cards fall as they may is definitely something that I look forward to this year! So, here's to a kick ass 2011 filled with endless hopes, dreams and memories to be made!

Winter Storm 2010!!

Well, I've been lazy.... I haven't picked up my camera in over a month and it's just so sad, isn't it?! The Holidays come and I feel like you're in a time warp. They always creep up on us and then in an instant, they're over! This year was no different... We've had a great Holiday season and to top it off, a HUGE snowstorm/ blizzard last night! Mother Nature dropped 16 inches on us and up to 2 feet on other parts of MA! Craziness I tell you! Here are a few pictures I took this morning. I hope to be better about posting. I wonder if there are any followers still out there ;)

Palm Springs!

The weekend of 11/11 was one for the memory books! Four days of relaxing by the pool with five of your best friends, laughing, drinking and reminiscing is just what the doctor ordered!!  When everyone gets caught up in their busy lives, you forget how important it is to get away and relax.  How better to do that than with girls weekend with the girls to sunny Palm Springs?

Living in Boston will never stop me from spending time with some of my favorite people on earth. Girls I've known since junior high, high school and college. Girls who will always be by my side, no matter what. I wish we were back there, sipping our 10am Bloody Mary's and laughing about some random college memory and the good ol' days! I miss you all already.... Until Spring 2012, ladies..... XOXO

Happy Halloween!

Yesterday, we walked with our nieces and nephews in the Halloween parade that wanders around the neighborhood then makes its way to the park. There were a ton of kids playing on the swings, doing sack races, eating cupcakes and having a ton of fun! It was fun to see all of them dressed up! Enjoy the pictures!!
