3000 Miles to Graceland
Well, not quite that far. To help celebrate my 30th birthday, we decided to take a road trip, something I haven’t done for a few years, to the city of Memphis. It’s the home of the blues, Graceland, Beale Street, the Peabody Hotel and ducks, as well as the birth place of rock ‘n’ roll,…

Map Your Travels
Here’s something that I thought was just cool: a map of every state that I’ve visited. There’s alot in the Mid-West and West that I’ve yet to visit, but I’ve got most of the East Coast locked up pretty well (except for a few in New England). Would be nice to say that you’ve visited…

Thanksgiving Redux
So the Thanksgiving holiday weekend was alot of fun. We left our house at 5 am on Thursday morning and were able to miss the bulk of the traffic as we arrived about four and a half hours later at Julia’s house. We rested for awhile as Julia prepared the Thanksgiving meal. With football on…

Back in Time
So we made it back from our Thanksgiving weekend in New York just in time to get Jack from the kennel. We had to be there by noon to pick him up today; otherwise, we would have had to wait until tomorrow. After a night out on the town last night, we got up super…

When I am not around….
I left for Chicago last Thursday a little apprehensive as to what might happen at one of our most hectic meetings of the year. Although, the meeting was in fact really hectic and tiresome, I cannot believe everything that happened to everyone I know while I was away. As soon as I get to Chicago,…

Home Alone
So she left me. After only twenty six days of marriage, Monica just walked out the door…. 🙁 …and to the airport to fly to Chicago for a meeting. It’s just me and Jack until Tuesday when she gets back. I have a few things to do on my “honey do” list, but I’ll also…

Back Too Soon
Wow, that honeymoon was way too short. We still wish we were in Hawaii. We had such an amazing time there…just incredible. I’m going to post a day by day honeymoon blog at some point in the near future along with lots of pictures and eventually some video. It’s going to take me awhile to…

NY State of Mind
Brian and I went up to good ol’ New York for the weekend. It was good to see my family and finally pick up my wedding gown! We headed downtown on Saturday and walked around 5th avenue doing a little shopping in the rain. It was fun! Since my mom lives in the Bronx, the…

Memorial Day Fun
So we’re heading out of town this weekend, making the trek down to Hampton Roads to see some family and friends. We were originally going to the beach on Saturday, but the weather doesn’t look as if it’s going to cooperate. 🙁 But we are going to Busch Gardens with our friend, Bucky, on Sunday.…
