One of the coolest gifts Erin and I got for Christmas this past year was this map from Erin’s mom: It’s one of those maps where you pin the places you have visited – and also the places you hope to visit with a different colored pin. You can kind of see in the picture that Erin …
The weekend is over already? 🙁 This wasn’t our most exciting weekend. Erin was down with the flu for most of the week and so we spent a lot of time laying low. She started feeling sick on Wednesday afternoon, and was pretty much down for the count until yesterday. Lots of rest, and snuggling …
On Saturday Erin decided she wasn’t feeling well, and so we thought a little day trip would be just the thing to make her feel better 🙂 We wanted to take advantage of having a whole day together and explore something new. So, we headed to Baltimore. Baltimore is only about 30 miles from where we …

We had a great time toasting the New Year with a couple of friends, and then spent the first day of 2013 at Mount Vernon. It was a great start to the new year. I’m back at work this morning, but it’s been a wonderfully slow day so far. I’m happy to ease my way …
2012 was a strange, stressful year. Lots of uncertainty, changes, and frustrations along the way. Also, Erin and I realized that every major life event that can happen, has happened at least once this year – birth, marriage, death, moving, changing jobs, the list goes on. Not to mention a fiscal cliff… 😉 I can’t say I’m sad …

After breakfast we headed out for a walk on the trails near our house before going to a family friend’s for dinner – where we has some great food, good wine, lots …
That’s the sound Erin’s new scooter makes. Erin had been talking about getting a scooter to ride to the metro for a while now, and so one day while she was at work – I went and bought it for her. She (literally) cried when she found out. I think that is the response everyone …
We are getting things set up, and looking like a real home! Monday Verizon set up our internet, cable, and (gasp!) home phone. Since I will be working from a home office, I need to have a phone line that can be billed to my work. Yesterday, we finally got our washer and dyer! We …
We are slowly (very slowly) getting settled in. After a quick move on Saturday, we both had to head back to busy weeks at work. As we won’t be getting the internet set up at our house until Monday, I have set up shop at a Starbucks in College Park, MD next to the University of …
We are in the house! The closing went ahead as planned on Friday and we moved in on Saturday. My old college roommate and her boyfriend live in DC (she works at the Library of Congress…how awesome is that!?) and they came and helped us. We were so thankful to have the extra sets of muscles! …
