Big Fun Pictures

Published on by Lisa

Remember, I wasn’t the photographer for the wedding and made a conscious decision to put my camera away so I could truly be in the moment. That being said, this was probably a dream to photograph because everything was really beautiful and the lighting was perfect for the entire day. So, here’s just a few of the pictures I have…if you want more, you’ll have to wait for Natalie Baumgardner to finish up.

Here are two pictures from the housewarming. In one of them you can see Nick loving whatever Tom Ward is telling him; not an unusual sight. The other is of two dear friends of mine who made the trip from Cincinnati and Louisville to help warm up the house.

The last picture I was saving for parents to show of all that I brought back from the Philippines: two bottles of wine, countless wooden crafts, three textile wall hangings, a barrage of snacks available only in SE Asia, handmade soups, jewelry, bags, books, and various trinkets and souvenirs from my travels. It is nothing short of a miracle that I was not detained in customs.

Last night Nick and I met some friends out for dinner in Little Italy. Of course, I bought two cannoli’s for late night enjoyment. After dinner, Nick went out with Matt Thomas, aka Books, and even though I promised to pick him up later, I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillowcase. Good thing Nick is a patient man. This weekend Nick is going Tim Norris’ bachelor party at Salt Fork while I continue to get used to life in Ohio. Two weeks to Kelly’s wedding, aka Big Fun, and we’re both pumped and ready for another great family wedding!

Random Update:
I got my nose pierced with my friend, Kristie, while we were in Cincinnati over Christmas break. That’s a picture of us above that was taken right after we had them done. If you look closely, you can see a small red swollen spot on our noses. Yep, that’s because a gargantuan sized needle went through our nostrils about 3 minutes previously. Shh – don’t tell my parents.

City Updates:

  • The city is crazy for the Superbowl which starts in 6 hours.
  • The city is crazy for SuperTuesday which starts in 48 hours.
  • The city is crazy because if the Patriots win the Superbowl, they’ll have a parade on SuperTuesday.

Other Updates:

  • I finally got my Massachusetts drivers license.
  • Last night we found a Filipino restaurant! SCORE!
  • We saw the movie Juno this weekend and give it two very big thumbs up for its one liners.
  • We potentially have found a parish that we’d like to belong to: St. Cecilia which is an energetic and booming community in downtown Boston.
  • Nick’s 2nd semester classes are going well is schedule is a little less stressful with one less class.
  • My job is consuming my life and have made a decision to at least begin job hunting for next fall.
  • My brother and sister-in-law just found out they’re having another boy! That’s four kids total! 1 girl and 3 boys. God love ’em.
  • Nick and Kelly Hartings just had their baby girl, Emma Jeane, on Friday morn – CONGRATS!
  • I’m playing with the idea of applying to a masters program at Simmons College. It’s a masters in Gender and Cultural Studies. I figure while I’m surrounded with academics why not jump in, too, you know? Not to mention, this is my area of specialization.

And there you have it – a small glimpse into our lives for the week. Don’t forget that February is when I celebrate my birthday month. * Along with the start of Lent, Mardi Gras, Presiden’s Day, and Valentine’s Day, February holds one of the most treasured days of all time: my bday.

*Ask Nick, I am not exaggerating this statement.

Our Competitive Sides

Published on by Lisa
A random moment caught when we’re both talking smack to each other, aka making fun of each other/challenging the other to an absurd opportunity to compete against each other to prove one’s superiority.  This competition has included: bowling, wrestling, corn hole, geography trivia, rumicube, beer pong, and tripoly…just to name a few.
