My baby brother got married last weekend. We went to Utah for the big bash. It was a chock full weekend. Chock full of commotion, craziness, emotion, coordination and lack thereof, pictures, and pure love. That boy found himself a great wife and they are quite a couple. We were SO glad to be there…
Random things that have happened lately:One of my best friends from my D.C. days came for a visit (the one in the middle). She just ran the Boston Marathon…FAST. She is quite a woman. The girl on the right is our other friend who also lived in D.C. (Virginia really) who now lives in the…

I love Boston. I love the trees, I love the narrow, winding streets, I love the accent, I love the crisp air, I really love the fall colors, and most of all I love being with my amazing sisters and spending quality time with two of my daughters. Man it’s gorgeous out here. Today we…
