A night out, kid free, surrounded by family, and getting to have this handsome guy as my date? Sign. Me. UP. We had such a fun time this past weekend, celebrating the wedding of our cousin Pat and his (now wife) Brie. Unfortunately, I did such a terrible job taking pictures while I was there ...
Easter Fun!
Going into Easter this year, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. It was the first major holiday we’d be celebrating as a family without my father-in-law with us, and I think it left us all a little unsettled and sad. But just as he always seems to do, Lucas helped so much in making the holiday a ...
Stricken with Grief
I’m sure many of you are visiting the blog today expecting to see a recap of our Christmas. Up until a few days ago, I would have assumed the same. However, there is a lot that has happened over the past few days. Back on December 23rd, Jay had gone, as he usually does, to visit his dad at the ...
Memorial Day Weekend Highlights {5/27}
Hey, I don’t know about you, but it’s pretty nice knowing that I’m starting the work week on a Tuesday rather than a Monday. We had a great Memorial Day weekend, and since I have a fair amount of photos to share, I’m just gonna go ahead and keep the chit chat short (well, as short as I can…that not ...
Thanksgiving 2012
We came. We ate. We ate some more. And we had a great, great Thanksgiving. I didn’t wind up taking too many photos yesterday, other than the food that was on the table (which you’ll see in a second), but that’s just because I was too busy having an awesome day. Hopefully everyone else was ...
Today…
…I will be spending the day with this special guy. Along with the rest of this special crew… Down at Citi Field to watch the Mets play. source It’s supposed to be another beautiful day, and I’m so excited to get down there, have a ball park hot dog, and just spend the day with ...
A Look Back at 2011
I think this post was easily one of my favorite posts to put together. Last year, I put together a 2010 Review post and I had such a blast doing it that I figured I’d do it again this year. 2011 was a VERY busy year for me; lots of traveling, lots of celebrating, some personal struggles, and some ...
The Annual Christmas Party
Nothin’ like a good Christmas party with family to get you into the holiday season! Last night, Jay and I attended an annual Christmas party held by very close family friends of ours. These friends, Tim & Joan, have been great friends with my parents since before I was even around, and they ...
Want To Know How My First Thanksgiving Went?
Well, I did it! I successfully hosted my very first Thanksgiving! Let me tell ya, it is not the easiest task to do, and for someone who suffers with horrible time management skills, it is definitely a process that will take some practice. But nonetheless, it all still worked out great, thanks to ...
Out On A Weeknight
Okay, so I’m a tad sleepy this morning… I guess that’s what I get for staying out until midnight to watch my beloved Jets lose in last night’s game against the Broncos. Ughh, talk about a disappointment. But hey, ya know what? It was still an awesome way to spend my evening! As soon as I got ...
