Favorite Things
Growing up in Vermont and then having to move away has given me tremendous appreciation for the wonderful state. It was a lot of fun for me to have so many of my friends in my favorite place. We made a night trip to Burlington and headed straight to Church Street. It was a bitter [...]

Stuff I've Done, The House
It’s beginning to look…
We had our first real tree in the new house this year. Somehow the Christmas season slipped past us last year and I was determined not to let that happen again. I got all of our presents purchased and wrapped with plenty of time left to ship them to all of our family members. The [...]

Run of the Santas
Aunt Nancy, Alex and I signed up to run in the 2012 Santa 5k when we were at the expo for our marathon relay. At the time we were all capable of running 13.1 miles so a 5k seemed like a great idea. Throw in some santa suits and it got even more exciting. Alex [...]

The Color Run
The color run was hard to get to and even harder to get home from but from the start line to the finish line we had an amazing time. They give each person their own bag of color and everyone was popping them on each other throughout the race. I tried to be sneaky and [...]

There are no parades
I couldn’t find a nearby parade in Boston for the 4th so Ryan and I went fishing on the Charles and look what I caught! I got two pretty good sized bass, a 12″ and this one, a 14.5″. The first one was the smaller one and it ate about four of my worms before [...]

The reason
When I signed up to run a half marathon for the American Cancer Society I was doing it in memory of my Grandfather who lost his battle with cancer eleven years ago. During my training my best friends’s father lost his battle with cancer and the day before my race my Uncle’s mother was diagnosed [...]

Birthday River
Vicky and I are having a party today to celebrate our birthdays. I woke up to a backyard full of water and had to dig a trench so that it would flow away from the house. Of course, I had to name that trench “Birthday River”.

Antiquing
I’m pretty sure we went to every antique store in Vermont this weekend. I always love looking through all of the vintage jewelry. No purchases for me this weekend but I still had fun.

Vermont Chili Festival
Ryan and I just so happened to be in Vermont for the annual chili festival this year. If you’ve never been, I highly suggest it. For $3 you get a spoon and get to hit as many tents as you can to taste more varieties of chili than you could even possibly begin to imagine. [...]
