Lazy Days

When I moved up to MA, Adam encouraged me NOT to get a job so that I could breathe easy for a few months and then we could go home to Richmond together (and hopefully on our honeymoon) for the off-season. Boy oh boy am I breathing easy. I spend most days by the Love's pool, taking walks, chatting over coffee with Sue, and laughing my head off during dinner. Lucky girl :)

DC game

I was lucky enough to go home one week after my wedding to watch Adam's game against DC and visit with my family and girlfriends. I know I was home all summer with them, but it was refreshing to see them post-wedding and job stress. And, we had a great cookout at Sara's house to boot! I'm wearing the present Adam gave me the day before our wedding:

Life in Bawston

Most of you know that Adam plays soccer for the New England Revolution. Part of the deal with being a rookie is that you don't make a ton of money and the folks in New England are nice enough to host a few of those rookies in their homes. Adam was invited into the house of the Love's. Adam has raved and raved about this family since he moved in last Spring and now I have the privilege of living with them too! I wasn't especially enthusiastic about moving away from home, so it has been incredible to be welcomed in by such a loving family. Below is a snapshot of the Love's with us at our wedding:

Mini-Moon

Because Adam and I tied the knot during soccer season, we couldn't really take a full honeymoon...but, we were able to sneak away to the lovely town of Providence, Rhode Island for a few days. We're hoping to take a longer honeymoon sometime in January. Cross your fingers! Adam had to go to practice everyday we stayed there, so I was able to sleep-in and relax (though I wasn't happy he had to leave me as evidenced by my expression below!). We had heard that Providence featured some amazing restaurants and we definitely took full advantage of that while we were there.

We're married!!!

September 1, 2007! It's hard to believe that after almost six years of dating, most of which spent apart, we finally get to see each other everyday! Our wedding was super fun thanks to everyone who came to support us. We can't thank you enough. Here are a few of our favorite pictures (taken by Mr. Aaron Watson). Enjoy!
