Mountain Getaway–Part 1

August 26, 2013

Back in May, right as my busy season was kicking off, I read an article about a resort in Highlands, NC that was supposed to have one of the best spas in all of the United States.  Since Danny and I had been talking about taking a trip to the mountains all year, we decided […]

Checking In

August 16, 2013

The last few weeks have been extraordinarily long ones.  Just as my busy season at work was wrapping up, we started having some health issues with Gracie.  Nothing that we thought was super serious at the time – but, we were in and out of the vet a lot more than usual. (The above photo […]

June 2013 Roundup

June 30, 2013

It has been over a month since I last checked in.  I figured that I better stop in and post an update before the month of June officially ends. My busy season is well underway.  This means that the workdays are long and stressful.  Everyone in the office handles the stress in different ways.  Danny […]

Lately

May 21, 2013

An update in the form of a list: 1.) We have been getting a ton of work done to our house recently.  I know that in the long run, I will be happy that we got these things done.  But, at the present time, the state of my house is really beginning to stress me […]

Boston 2013–By Land and Sea

April 11, 2013

The day before we flew out to Boston, Danny woke up with a sore throat.  By the time we arrived in the city, it had evolved into a nasty cold.  This really wasn’t a surprise, because it seems like every time we take a vacation, Danny gets sick. Due to the fact that my husband […]

Boston 2013–Off to the Garden We Go

April 9, 2013

Even though I am a huge sports fanatic, I was really never into the NBA growing up.  About two years ago, in a fit of post college basketball season boredom, I tuned into the NBA playoffs and started watching.  I did not really have a favorite team or player, until the Celtics vs. Heat series […]

The Intern

March 28, 2013

As the director of company security, it is Gracie’s job to keep me alert to any threats that she feels might undermine the integrity of our office.  Most of the time it is a false alarm – birds chirping, dogs barking outside and the occasional office visitor usually illicit a fairly strong reaction and vicious […]

5 Things

March 7, 2013

1.) The Duke/Miami game that I attended last Saturday was, perhaps, the most intense sporting event that I have ever witnessed in person.  At one point, between the anxiety of the close game, the heat in Cameron and lack of sleep, I stood up quickly to cheer and nearly passed out.  That would have been […]

Happy (Stinkin’) Valentines

February 15, 2013

Never again can I be accused of being unromantic.  This Valentine’s Day I gifted my husband with the most expensive present he has ever received from me.  Not to mention the most practical. Late Sunday evening (because these things never happen at convenient times), our plumbing problems reared their ugly head again.  After paying the […]

Our first month (as a 2 dog household)

January 28, 2013

With all of the drama surrounding Gracie’s health this past week, it never dawned on me that we had missed Sherlock’s one month adopt-a-versary.  It has been a crazy month that has involved lots of cleaning, not much sleep and an endless amount of sweet puppy kisses. In honor of having the little guy a […]
