This month’s hiking trip didn’t go quite as planned, but I was still able to summit a mountain that I hadn’t done before. David had hiked it a couple of times (the most recent was his bachelor party before we got married in 2008!). So needless to say, it had been a while for him. … Continue reading Mt. Moosilauke
Weekend Hiking in Vermont
For the remainder of 2021, David and I have planned to go hiking at least one weekend a month, just the two of us. For the month of July, we headed up to southern Vermont.

Saturday was her birthday, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous. She … Continue reading Farandnear

It’s one of the many reasons that I love the Boston Athletic Association so much. So yesterday my mom … Continue reading Virtual B.A.A. 5K

Sunday afternoon, we … Continue reading Easter Celebrations & A New B.A.A. Challenge
My 37th Birthday
Another year down (and another birthday during the pandemic). Last year the big outing was to go to Rare Steakhouse at Encore, but of course, everything was shut down just a few days prior. Going back this year was just one of the many fun events that made up my birthday celebration. I really had … Continue reading My 37th Birthday
