Merrymeetting Lake

Matt, Finn, and I were lucky enough to get away for a night up to New Hampshire with Matt's parents & his sister Corey. Finn took his first swim in the lake. Matt, Corey, and I visited Meredith at the stables & went horseback riding. It was a nice little getaway.

Are we there yet?

Kodak Moments: Finn Meets Layla

Our very close friends Beth and Derek got a puppy yesterday from a shelter in Tennessee. Her name is Layla, and she is adorable! Finn and Layla are going to be the best of friends. I know it!

As much as I love Christmastime, coming home to this "snow" was not so fabulous.

Whale Watch

Matt and I took my grandparents and went on a whale watch out of Gloucester. Although I got a little seasick, seeing the whales that close was amazing! We only saw two or three whales, but the two that stayed with us, a momma and her baby, were amazingly close and entertaining! So neat!

What happened?

One Year

Can you believe we've been in the house for one year? I'm amazed and blessed everyday.
That also means that we've been engaged for one whole year! We're just 14 months or so away from the wedding now. Wedding planning is terrible and wonderful at the same time. We still need to find a caterer who will in turn help us to rent tents, tables, chairs, linens, etc. I've got my dress and the bridesmaids, JJ, Missa, Cole, Shannon, & Corey, have picked out their dresses - just need to get those ordered. I haven't even touched what the guys, Rey, Stu, Eric, Joshy, & Tony, are wearing, but I'm sure that won't be too difficult. I've got my fabulous photographer - Hexfire Photography - whom I love. I've picked out a great DJ, Scott Sica... and now I'm at a standstill. The caterer has me stuck. Then I have to figure out all the details. So exciting and frustrating at the same time. We'll get there though!:)

In the meantime, Finnegan is doing well. He ate a $10 bill & a nail file when he played Houdini & escaped the other day.
And he loves my old stuffed dog - Fuzzbucket.
