Summers End 2009 Update

Hello Loved Ones,

I figured now would be a good time for a follow up. It's been awhile. This Summer has been an absolute whirlwind. We thought that after our wedding was behind us that our lives would slow down, but not quite. In fact, this has been the busiest Summer, probably ever. We have the honor of being in our old roommates, Dan and Sam's wedding in October. I have been helping Sam with her wedding plans and planning her shower. I am also in a wedding on August 23rd for my dear friend, Bethany. Her shower is now behind us and it was beautiful. Aside from those we also have two other weddings to attend. I absolutely LOVE to help with the planning of these event, so they have been a blessing, but boy, it has kept us busy!


We just celebrated our first wedding anniversary. To celebrate we traveled up to Acadia National Park (for letter "a", since each anniversary we will travel with the alphabet...next year we're going to Bermuda for "b".). It was incredible!! The scenery was amazing and we did some intense mountain climbing. Many memories were made.


We also booked a trip to Paris in November. We will be leaving on Thanksgiving Day-so we'll miss our family very much. This is the first in 24 years that I will not have celebrated this holiday with family. I am a bit sad about that, but am ecstatic about our trip to France. We're spending about 4 days in Paris and one in Reims (Champagne Country) touring the Champagne Houses. I love champange!!! Many pictures to come of Paris, as you would all expect.


Career/school-wise, as you know, Chris recieved his CPA and we both were accepted into Graduate School. We start the end of this month. Chris will attend University of Hartford for his Master's in Accounting and I will attend UConn for a Master's in Professional Studies in Human Resources Management. We are both nervous and anxious about returning to school.


Aside from all of this, we continue with our hobbies of running and working out, cooking and scrapbooking (ok, well that one if just me) and spending a lot of time with our puppy, Duke, who is now 8 months old. Marriage rocks and we are so happy to share this wonderful life together!
