| We celebrated our two year wedding anniversary 50+ floors above Boston. The view was breathtaking and the champagne and excellent cuisine just threw it over the top. |
 |
| I can't believe how fast two years goes by! It seems like just yesterday that I was saying, "I do!" |
 |
| I am definitely a lucky girl. I am very blessed to have such a wonderful husband and I can't imagine life without him. I love you, Carl! xoxo |
 |
| We harvested the very first pea from our garden. It was sweet and delicious and Ecto-cooler green! |
 |
| Our basil was starting to grow out of control so I made pesto and then slathered it on this bad boy. |
 |
I also made one with pepperoni - as this is a must if you live with the human garbage disposal Carl. |
 |
| I've been training hard for the Boilermaker 15K coming up in just a few short weeks. I've had a few near death experiences, but I'm surviving.... BARELY. We'll see what the next 13 days brings - hopefully new lungs and faster legs. |
 |
| Carl convinced me to make homemade LOBSTA rolls. WICKED good indeed. |
 |
| Carl brainwashed Henry into thinking the Indiana Jones marathon was the coolest thing since peanut butter, cheese and ice cream combined. |
 |
| We went to the New England Revolution game and painfully sat through 90+ scoreless minutes. #NOTCOOL. |
 |
| Henry couldn't bear the thought of it either. |
 |
| Henry and I put the theory "the way to a man's heart is through his stomach" to a test on Father's day. I think we were successful with these steak and cheese breakfast burritos. |
 |
| Sweet Sunday hammock bliss. |
 |
| ...until I fell asleep and was woken up by 60lb raccoon climbing up my hammock tree. Just saying: If raccoons were chasing me in the Boilermaker... I could come in first place - for sure. I'll leave it at that. |
 |
| Nutella brownie bites with Nutella buttercream frosting helped me survive the traumatic raccoon experience. |
 |
| This dapper dude was the only one that came to my rescue. I'm pretty sure everyone in the neighborhood heard me except for Carl... who was only 500ft away. |
 |
| Oh ha-PEA day... |
 |
| ...x 2538798375 when I stumbled upon these babies. |
 |
| We finally got to catch up with my sister and BIL. It was great to hear about their trip to DisneyWorld while chowing down on homemade chicken nuggets. Classy dinner, I know! (PHOTO COURTESY of my other BIL - Peter) |
 |
| My "breakfast of champions" lately - Rice cakes, almond butter and bananas. |
 |
| ...with Samoa crunch bars chasers! |
 |
| I was blessed and incredibly lucky to meet up with one of my absolute favorite bloggers on earth - Amanda from www.kevinandamanda.com! These treats were well deserved after walking 24580 miles though Boston while our faces melted off in 95+ degree heat. |
 |
| Followed by a little Modern Pastry redemption from my "Johnny Cupcake isn't really a cupcake shop incident." I'll save that story for another day though - I'm still shuttering in embarrassment! |
 |
| We capped off our delicious day together at Nebo feasting on delicious pizza and great conversation. My belly was full and my heart was even fuller. A special Thank you to Amanda and Kevin for a great day! You totally made my day/week/month and probably year too! |
 |
| My dear friend got married!! I'm pretty sure she was one of the prettiest brides to ever walk this earth. I may or definitely did cry through the entire ceremony. |
 |
| This salad at the wedding was life changing. So life changing that the next day I ran to the grocery store and bought every single ingredient to try to re-create it. I'll let you know how that turns out. |
 |
| Am I right? or am I right? How gorgeous is she!? Monaa and I have been friends for many years. We went to college together and also cheered our division 1 basketball team on for four years. I love her so much! Congratulations Monaa + John! Enjoy your honeymoon in St. Lucia! |
 |
| Carl decided to take the "scenic" route home from the wedding in Saratoga - which had us driving through almost every NE state you could possibly imagine. Three hours into the drive he shouts, "The Hartfords are driving through Hartford, VT!" |
 |
| We were happy to pick Henry up from his doggy-cation with his pals Joe+Sam. It was pretty great seeing how happy he was to see his momma and daddy - it defintely made the 2958 mile drive through New England worth it!! On another note: I think he was also happy to hear that doggy braces are NOT in his future. |
 |
We rounded off the weekend with homemade peach cobbler for me and raspberry cobbler for Carl. The two scoops of ice cream on top were totally excessive necessary. |
 |
| Get in ma belly! |
 |
| This is how we all feel after the past two weeks. Although, if Henry were president, I'm pretty sure he would be a strict enforcer of nap time. He's got my vote. |
 |
| And last but not least - a real treat... I'll leave the caption of this one up to you guys. (Thanks to our dear friend, Connie for this hilarious picture!) |
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! xoxo.
