new year's eve...


Well, Christmas was lovely, I set up a little tree in my new apartment. More and more ornaments mean maybe a full size tree next year! Went for my annual trip to New Hampshire to see my best friend for Christmas. We started a new tradition of buying each other the worst holiday pajamas we can find, to add to our take out and movie night, I can see this getting quite fun each year! We also celebrate the twin's birthdays, two years?!?! and a new little fella on his way in the next month! Will be an exciting coming year! After a fun little adventure to Ikea, I headed home for the holidays where I baked way too many cookies and got a white Christmas! Love being home with my family but came back to ring in the new year in my new place. I am finally starting to feel settled and cozy here in my apartment, something I have had yet to feel here and never really found in my last place. Photos to come soon, but it is really coming together! Stay tuned for London, I finally finished downloading the 700 photos :)


Before heading to London, I built my closet!

and I'm back....




Well, since my last post was fourth of July... it sure has been awhile! I've had an interesting and eventful summer and fall. Made some tasty meals and started some projects. I took my yearly trip to Martha's Vineyard with my good friend, a few days on my own then joined for some quality time with my "momma roo" :) along with that, I got a promotion at my job, turned 31, spent time with bestest and her family up in New Hampshire... got the great news that she is expecting her third, a boy! Moved into a new apartment in Cambridge (long, crazy story but finally starting to settle in!) Spent a long weekend exploring my capitol! Celebrated a ton of birthdays, survived a little hurricane, and now have just finished packing for a random, yet exciting trip to London... this evening! Some pics of the above and off I go!

Colleague ran the Boston Marathon, we got to watch from our office!
