It's been awhile

As you might have guessed, it's been awhile since I last updated this blog. Since my last (and first) blog, Steve and I got married (pic 1), bought a house (pic 2), and got a dog - felix (pic 3).

Yes, we know that Felix is normally a cat's name. That's why it fits him so well. He's lazy and he acts like a cat when he plays. He's 11 months old now.

We got back from Texas about a week ago so we could spend New Year's here with friends. Steve's family helped to take care of Felix while we were in Texas. We had a great time with family in Texas and we had a great time hosting friends for New Year's. Grayson Buaas is the baby in the pics below. He's my cousin, Jennifer and her husband, Travis, new 2 1/2 month old. He is adorable. The other dog is Nettie, our friend Amy and Troy's dog.

Steve and I are getting ready for our 2 1/2 week trip to Australia and New Zealand in February. We will be in Australia for a week and in New Zealand for 9 days. We were hoping to see some friends in Australia but it looks like we're going to be leaving the day they arrive. We're definitely seeing my friend from high school in New Zealand and will be staying with her for a few days. I'll post pics from that trip when we get back.

Until next time...

first blog

i'm sure that this is what everyone writes the first time they start their blogspot...so i will continue the trend and say...this is the first time i've done this blog thing...blah blah blah
anyways, i wanted to keep an online journal so this seems to be the best way to do that. and to keep others posted on what's going on with me. i have lived in boston now for 3 years almost to the day. i moved here aug 13 2001. wow...it has been a great 3 years and i am still loving new england. hard to believe for those of you in the south but this is home for me. i love the diversity and the rhythm of this city. although i am now working north of boston and i drive there so i am missing the experience of walking to work everyday. i am still working at emerson college with the christian organization on campus. i love the students there and we have a lot of exciting events planned for this fall. also i started dating a bostonian (actually he lives just outside boston) in january. things are going great with him. he's met my family but he is ready to meet some of my college friends. i am currently looking forward to a trip to canada i'm taking at the end of the month. i'm going with some friends to a cottage about 2 hours out of ottawa. we're going to go to toronto for a couple days and see the red sox play the blue jays. we'll be wearing rem-dawg shirts with hopes of getting on television. why is getting on television such a feat? well, that's all the updates...in the future updates i will have more detail about life, movies, etc. this was just a brief update on my life events. thanks for reading.
