There will be lots more details and stories to come, but for the moment, let’s all just celebrate and drool over our fingers crossed new digs! 🙂 […]
Preppy Chic Wedding
This weekend, NavyGuy and I attended our first wedding as a married couple; otherwise known as, the first wedding after our own! I’ll be brutally honest up front – after you’ve been the bride at a wedding, no other is going to be quite as fun. For me anyway, there’s nothing like being the center […]
I {heart} Target
So, we just paid for a really big party for all of our friends and family, and we’re hoping to purchase our first home in the next couple months, but… That doesn’t mean I can’t “window” shop! Here’s what I’d buy at Target this week… A cute accent chair for our future livingroom Any of […]
To Have and To Hold
Ooops. I missed Stamp Club on Wednesday night because of some house drama – it looked like we were going to have to do a marathon cleaning session in order to have the place presentable for our landlord the following day. Since there’s no way I would leave that task in the hands of NavyGuy […]
More Travel

Two friends of ours from college are getting married in Harvard, MA at the Fruitlands Museum. [HistoryGirlie – Fruitlands is Bronson Alcott’s failed transcendentalist utopia!!! If I see Louisa May, I’ll […]

Seattle Mini-Mini-Moon: What to Forget
After a great Saturday afternoon and evening, the mini-mini-moon hit a sour note. Several friends of NavyGuy were in town for a concert and called him after it was over to meet up for drinks. I was ready to crash, so I told NavyGuy to go ahead and go out without me… At 3:00am – […]

Seattle Mini-Mini-Moon: What to Remember
NavyGuy and I were on the road by nine on Saturday morning, heading south for Seattle. Even though the clerk at “The Happy Donut” gave NavyGuy a 5-shot frappucino instead of a 5-shot cappuccino, our trip was off to a good start. First stop on our itinerary – the Space Needle! The ride to the […]
Blog Vacation
No new posts until at least Monday – NavyGuy and I are spending the weekend in Seattle on a mini-mini-moon!!! We got a great deal on a fab hotel downtown, got a good dinner recommendation for Saturday night, and plan to check out as many of the touristy sites in the Emerald City that we […]
