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. Ryan […]
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 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 […]
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 I finally gave an exaggerated yank of my pole and hooked him. […]

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. […]
Everything in the Wizarding World of Harry Potter was breathtaking. The rides were amazing, the castle was unbelievable and even all of the Hogsmeade shops looked exactly as you would picture them. HoneyDukes (the candy shop) was by far my favorite. The colors were so bright and fun and the variety of candy was wild. […]
