weekend fun

This weekend was the start of my April vacation... yippee! Friday night we went to this great local bar that has delicious drinks. We got the Ori-Joe-Nal and had no problem polishing this bad boy off. 

Mike got steak tips and sweet potato fries. Not gonna lie, I think I ate most of those fries....

We are puppysitting for the weekend, since my parents are with my sister in Florida checking out colleges (I secretly or not so secretly hopes she hates them all, but then again, how could you hate going to school where there are palm trees and beaches? And wearing flip flops all the time? Uhh, jealous.)  So this is Jack. He is the king.

And this is Abby. Mike likes to give her "Alfalfa hair".

Yesterday we ran some errands (fun ones!) and got Coldstone. I had cake batter ice cream with graham cracker, heath bar, and rainbow sprinkles - delish!

student teaching is over

For my student teaching hours, I worked in the integrated preschool classroom at my school. I have completed all my hours, so they held a goodbye/thank you party for us. These are the cute little watering cans my preschoolers made me, aren't they adorable?

spring is here!

 A few things I love about Spring being here....

Crepes from Mr. Crepe in Davis Square...yum!

Flowers budding!

Walks around town with my love.

No more boots! Time for flats shopping!

Portsmouth

We recently took a trip to Portsmouth, NH.  I had heard so much about how great this little town was, I had to check it out! With my Nikon in tow, Mike and I took the hour ride north to check out this quaint little town.  It was a lot colder and windier than we had expected, but we made the best of it. We grabbed a coffee, to get out of the wind and warm us up. Portsmouth has a lot of character, and I really enjoyed taking pictures of some of the old houses. There was a section of the town in which, while walking through it, I almost felt like we had entered a time warp. The houses were old, and run down, but in a good way... a lot of them were turned into museums.  We also found a Court Street, how fitting! :) Before heading home we grabbed burgers & beers at the Portsmouth Brewery. Mmm Mmm!

my city

To start, I must tell you that in a couple of months my boyfriend Mike and I will be moving out of Boston. We are going to be moving home with my parents to try and save money for the future. I always pictured being settled and having a home before I had children, so I am trying to follow through with that dream if possible...

Oh, Boston. I love this city. A lot of times I do not feel that I have seen all that it has to offer. I have lived here for 3 years now and there is still so much I want to do! Over the next month or so I am going to try and post the fun things that we do around the city before we leave. So stay tuned!

here we go (again)

This is my second attempt at creating a blog in the past couple of months. The thing is, I always find a reason not to keep up with it... whether it's school work, not wanting to be on my  computer, or all of the other distractions that life brings. However, I love taking pictures and documenting all of the "little things" so I really want a place to share them. So, with that being said.... here I go!
