la dolce vita

this afternoon we're off for two weeks filled with vino, pasta, and gelato! plus a few days of czech beer in prague!

since most of our money & vacation time in 2007 went things wedding-related, we opted to take a belated honeymoon/first anniversary trip this year instead. we are definitely looking forward to a long, fun holiday (some of which will be roman).

we promise to take lots of pictures and bring back a few goodies! ciao!

a year ago today . . .

was an absolutely perfect day!

bittersweet baseball

last night was our last red sox/yankees game at yankee stadium. ever.

for sox fans, it was a great game! for yankees fans, not so much. even though we are rivals when it comes to our baseball fandom, we were both sad as the game came to a close. there is nothing like a sox/yanks game! unfortunately, with the new ball park comes more expensive tickets and thus fewer opportunities to see this great rivalry in person.

cheeky & katie

last weekend i made a quick trip down to virginia to hang out with katie, steve, & chloe. katie & i celebrated her birthday (a little late!) with a fondue feast at the melting pot since three of our favorite things are cheese, wine, and chocolate. it was a lovely, laid-back weekend. we had the scary realization that we've known each other for almost 25 years!! aren't we too young to have been friends for so long?
