exciting news!

It's official! We're moving to the suburbs in August! It happened a little sooner than we expected but we've been admiring the house we bought from afar for a couple of years now so when it went on the market we jumped at the chance. It needs a little updating (and a lot of furniture!) which we'll slowly get to but we're so excited at the prospect of creating what will hopefully be our forever home! We can't wait to host friends!

Love Square

We just got back from a fabulous weekend in Philadelphia celebrating Liz and Dave's wedding - what a fun filled time and what a beautiful and sweet couple - congrats!

I was honored to be a bridesmaid but very sadly I brought our camera minus the memory card so I have no pictures of my own. Hoping to steal some from other people soon. Here is a picture of the post rehearsal dinner festivities with the girls out in Philly!

Liz and Dave we had such a wonderful time at your wedding - wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness - enjoy Hawaii!

Celebrating mom

Happy belated mother's day! The picture above is from the afternoon of my wedding when my mom was heading down the hallway to help me put on my wedding dress. I absolutely love it! I am very lucky to have such a great role model, confidant and friend for a mom. The older I get the more I appreciate the sacrafices she made for Kate and me...and continues to make for our growing family. Kate and I were able to surprise her Friday night - she thought she was heading into the city to babysit Ben but we whisked her away for massages at Bella Sante - definitely a well deserved treat for her! Hopefully all the other moms were spoiled and able to celebrate with their loved ones!

Oh hello weekend...

Happy Friday! Very excited for a somewhat restful weekend ahead (the patient could still use it!). We have a few mother's day surprises up our sleeves so I'll wait to post our plans until Monday - until then enjoy the sunshine!

In sickness and in health

Six months into marriage and that vow became applicable! Poor Tucker is currently snoring away on the couch after a rough 48 hours. Tuesday while I was at work Tucker called me to say he was having stomach pains in his right side. After we both did some WebMD research and he didn't have any other symptoms of appendicitis we decided to wait it out to see if things got worse...at 3:30am they did and we headed to MGH. A CT scan confirmed everyone's suspicions - his appendix needed to come out and fast.

After 18 hours in the hospital he was finally able to come home. Recovery has been painful and slow but we're happy he's alright - big hugs to everyone who called, texted, visited and dropped by - we're lucky to have such great friends and family - here's to more healthy adventures!

Life long friends

Just got home from a whirlwind trip to New York City and New Jersey. My company's annual event - the Digitas NewFront was held on Thursday and was a success - I got to stay at the Trump Soho and do some solo exploring of the city which I don't get to do nearly often enough. Below is a shot of us setting up for our guests.

After a successful event I took a train down to New Jersey to meet Christine, Amanda, Jess, Kelly, Michele and our host Emily. Emily and Dave's new house is wonderful and I am absolutely in love with their town - made me more ready to move to the suburbs! Spending the weekend with such wonderful life long friends happens too infrequently these days so I definitely enjoyed every second! Here's a shot of all of us before we headed into the city to Craft Bar and Flute - I miss these girls already!

And one more from dinner!
