This past weekend, Jay and I were fortunate enough to have an opportunity to go to a Carolina Panthers v. Minnesota Vikings game. It was the first NFL game for both of us. We decided that since the game happened to fall on the weekend of our six month wedding anniversary (coincidentally) and I had [...]
So in my crazy emo mood last night [I feel better now], I was of course reading the article on the left in Cosmo while brushing my teeth. I left it open to that page for Jay to see it this morning. He countered by leaving the magazine open to the page on the right [...]
Not only was yesterday mine and Jay’s 4th dating anniversary and our 3 month wedding anniversary, but it was also the day that our fabulously talented wedding photographer Ken Hild gave us our wedding pictures!

Well, we did it! The wedding went off without a hitch. Jay even said “I do” too early because we were so excited hehe. This is a short post because I’m exhausted and we’re getting up at 5:30am to make sure we get to JFK with plenty of time to go to Mexico. I may [...]
