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. And thankfully the rainy weather kept away a lot of the crowds. We didn’t mind the rain at all. It … Continue reading Weekend Hiking in Vermont

The Lawn I’ve Been Wanting
Since buying our property over 9 years ago, we have slowly but surely made improvements to the 1 acre lot. We first tore down the old house: Since 2012, we’ve: built a new garage, built a shed, tore down the old garage, took out over 40 surrounding trees, and added a paved driveway. Something that … Continue reading The Lawn I’ve Been Wanting
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

Christmas 2020
Despite not being able to see all of the family members that I would usually see (I’m looking at you, Maine! <3), Christmas this year was still a special one. We went to my parents house for the night and Eleanor had such a wonderful time (Lincoln still isn’t quite sure what’s going on, but … Continue reading Christmas 2020
How We’re Managing During the Pandemic
Alternate title: How David Was Able To Get Us Financially Secure Since March 15th our lives have been turned upside down. The resort I worked at was closed, and for the following few weeks, I was one of the few employees to still be working in the building. In the beginning of April, we were … Continue reading How We’re Managing During the Pandemic
