45 Days Too Late

Was October 14th really my last blog post? Boy have I been slacking… Where do I begin? So much has happened over the past month and a half. Like… …We went to Long Island to see my grandma who was in town visiting my great aunts. This is the house that she grew up in. […]

New Hampshire Getaway

A funny thing I have notice about the North is that the people here are  so fascinated by all things “country.” Some farmers come to town for a food festival, and the festival is swarmed by city dwellers. October rolls around, and everyone flocks to the pumpkin farms. It’s a nice weekend, and the locals […]

Take Me Out to the Ballgame

Baseball is no doubt America’s favorite pass time. It taps some sort of emotion for us all. Even those of us who don’t really care much for the sport. I mean, who doesn’t love The Sandlot? No sport spells nostalgia like baseball, and no stadium is more nostalgic than Fenway Park. There’s just something about […]

Whale of a Time

In between unpacking, school, work, building furniture (I am beginning to have a love/hate relationship with IKEA), and trying to put our apartment in some livable order, there isn’t much time for exploring. If we were this busy in Fayetteville, I wouldn’t complain. Although, when you live in a city where you are surrounded by […]

Are we there yet?

Google maps estimates that the drive from Fayetteville, AR to Boston, MA should take right around 28 hours. Instead of painfully sitting in the car for 28 hours straight, we decided to spice things up a bit  and to see some of our countries greatest landmarks along the way. During this time I had my […]

The Honeymoon Is Over

It wouldn’t be an understatement to say we understand how Cory and Topanga  felt in that moment. Returning home from a luxurious honeymoon, and finding that their new home was a complete pit.  No, our apartment never  looked as bad as that, but it definitely was no Taj Majal upon our arrival. I am not […]

The Home Run Stretch

As wonderful as graduating college, getting married, and planning a move across  country is, it also comes with heaps of stress and responsibility. Finding a place to live, finding a job, planning the move, packing for the move, etc. gives this newlywed a very busy schedule. I have now entered into a world consumed with […]

Wedding Craftiness

I have a love-hate relationship with DIY projects. On the one hand, they allow you to express your creativity and can say a lot about a person. On the other, they can be time consuming, frustrating, and a pain in the butt! Our short engagement plus our busy schedules did not allow much time for […]

Wedding Day Bliss

Now that the wedding chaos has subdued, I am finally able to look back and reflect on the past 8 months. It sure doesn’t seem like it was 8 months ago that this wedding journey began. It all started on October 17th, just five days after we celebrated our four year anniversary. This, by the […]

What’s in a Name?

For nearly 23 years I was identified as a Terminella. Eleven days ago, I received a new name. On May 26th, 2011, I became a Doss. In the midst of changing my name on various accounts, the famous words of William Shakespeare rang loudly in my mind. I never really thought about surnames much until […]
