Boston, Fall, Wknds...etc, etc

{one of our favorite engagement pictures - photographed by Dave Steger}

We've had a few really busy weeks.  I been working more than normal the past few weeks but hopefully life will start to turn back to regular just in time to enjoyyyyy Fall. 

I would say at this point in time (Saturday AM) I have met my limit..and need down time (which I am def getting this wknd).  I kinda feel bad about complaining...considering I am healthy, I have no children to worry about yet...and nothing too serious to complain about.  But "to each his own" right?  Stress is all relative...  but I know I just need to decide to deallll. 
AND be thankful...because i really do have sooo much to be thankful for. 

Anywho this post is going to be randommmm. 

1.  We had our engagement pictures taken last Sunday! We took them in the South End in Boston on a beautiful street called Bradford St. and in the Public Garden (where Paul proposed).  Our friend, Dave, was our photographer and he did suchhhh an amazing job.  He also happens to by Jenny's brother!  You can see more of his work @ www.stegerprints.com. I highly recommend him if you live in the Boston area!Sommmeeee of you probably saw them late last Tuesday night if you were on Facebook.  Paul said I could put them up... I asked him because I am a natural oversharer (hello blog) and he usually is my monitor on how much I share..especially on facebook!  So he said yes...but then after I put them up he immediately changed his mind and wants me to wait til after we send out the save the dates....soooo you will see them back up on Facebook sometime early next month!  Above is one of our favorite pictures!  I figured I could share just onnnnneeeeeeee.........

2.  Boston is really beautiful right now.  We had a warm spell last week..but it has turned cooler again.  Paul and I woke up before 7am this morning and walked around the North End to get coffee and breakfast at a little diner right near the water.  We walked around the city before the city had really woken up...it's one of my favorite things to do.  There is the store owner cleaning the sidewalk, the occasional jogger, and pet owners taking their pets out for a morning walk...but other than that...it's pretty quiet. 

3.  We have a lot coming up in the next few weeks!  I am going down to Charleston, SC next weekend.  Paul's mom, Sandy, and Jenny are coming with me to meet up with my Mom, both grandmothers and my cousin (MOH) and Aunt to go bridal gown shopping!  I've always wanted to make finding the dress a special occasion with the important women in my life.  I'm excited for a nice, relaxing, 'girls' weekend if you will.  THEN the very next weekend, Paul and I are traveling back down to the South for Dorsey's (one of my good friends from college) wedding...so excited to see all of my college girlfriends!  THENNNN two weeks later we are going BACK down again to Athens, GA for the AU/UGA game!! UGA's campus is insane and I am so excited to show Rob, Jenny, Rich and Erin (all coming with us) a good southernnn
game day. 
Since we are doing all of this traveling down south we decided to stay in Boston for Thanksgiving again this year...I'm really excited about this decision...a few days off...no traveling and some good food and good times with my new Northern family!  :)  Besides...what better place to spend thanksgiving then in
New Englanddddd.

I'm glad I made this list...and if you read all the way down here...wowow....thanks for reading! ha.

Hope you all have a good weekend.  Paul is playing golf right now and then we are meeting up to do a little registering...fun! Tomorrow morning Marcia and I are going on a hike (excited about this!) and tomorrow afternoon Paul and I are heading out to his parents to watch the Pats and eat some gooood food....

OK I think I met my quota of oversharing for the day....BYE!
