Oh, Mother!
This year on Mother’s Day we’re having our third annual family reunion up in Lake George, NY. My mom and dad, brothers, sister-in-law and nephew, my aunt and uncle, 5 cousins, their spouses and kids and my grandmother all gather up in the Holiday Inn and spend a weekend committing all sorts of hilarious, and [...]
Looking back…

I can hardly believe this week in paradise is coming to it’s end and it’s time to head home already. Even more so, I can hardly believe that I even had the opportunity to SPEND a week in paradise…
When the plane landed last Monday on Provo island I had tears [...]
Finally…some sun!

After anooooother morning of thick, heavy clouds and persistent rain, the sun finally got over her modesty and showed herself to us! At the pool, there are these round mattresses with plush pillows that are called “pods”…in order to get a pod, you have to wake up pretty early and [...]

but that ain’t stoppin’ me from having a good old time! Well, I can’t say it’s not a bit disappointing to wake up to a heavy blanket of clouds…three days [...]

Going on the rave reviews of our hotel concierge, we booked ourselves on a snorkeling excursion–after all, we had to put our pro-gear to good use! When we woke up [...]

We’ve put our condo on the market in Connecticut and we’re relocating by July.
Okay, not really, but we WISH! Here’s how day two of my vacation looked…
since I slept so early last night I woke up early as well–by 7 am. I went and did a pilates class at [...]

If there was ever a question that he lived in heaven up above in the clouds, I can clarify for certain, that it’s not true. He or she or it–God–definitely lives here in this ocean…this [...]

That’s right, boys and girls, I’m goin’ [...]
Something Old, something new…
When you get down to it, what’s really the most important part of your wedding day? The first thing anyone asks when you’ve announced your wedding date is always “Did you get the dress?” And it needs to be perfect. It needs to be special. It needs to take his breath away. But it does [...]
So much for the afterglow!
Ah, well that makes it sound disappointing or like a let down–but that’s not what I mean at all! But it’s been a bit "real life-ish" since we didn’t leave for our honeymoon yet! We went right back to work and responsibility the day after the wedding! And unfortunately, real life showed itself in the [...]
