Moving to Kansas

After we found out Adam was traded from New England to KC (just before Thanksgiving) Adam, Nina and I had only had about 10 days of time back in Millis to pack up and schedule movers etc...Luckily, my sister Rachael came to Millis with us to help us pack while I finished up work at the office. I'm not sure how we would have done it without her! Needless to say, it was a little bit of a crazzzzy time.

Christmas in Richmond

We had such a great time back in Richmond over Christmas -- it was nice to be with the people who love you the most and calm you when you think your life is upside down. We spent a lot of time with our families and friends, bouncing around here and there and making the most of our time. It was fun getting to introduce our new addition to everyone -- so glad they got to meet her!

Nina Bean

I've been begging Adam for a puppy for a while now...but it was never the right time. It's still not the right time, but we got one anyway! Our Christmas present to each other this year was this adorable little teacup Chihuahua named Nina...she was about 1.5 lbs when we picked her up (and 10 weeks old). She'll maybe get to be 3 lbs but no bigger than that. She is so adorable. Hope she's ready for the many adventures she'll experience with the Cristman's!

Palm Beach

What a lovely mini-vacation. I was busy with my conference for our first few days in Palm Beach, but Adam enjoyed renting a board and surfing a little. After my conference, Adam and I were so lucky to spend the day with my boss and his son deep sea fishing. We had a blast - it was so beautiful out on the water. Unfortunately, no fish wanted to be caught that day, but we had fun anyway...I'd definitely want to do that again. We spent a few days walking on the beach collecting sea glass, deep sea fishing, and laying by the pool, resting for the busy schedule to come.

Expect the Unexpected

I've nearly finished up my busy event season, traveling to San Francisco in September, and Atlanta and Chicago in October. It's been a hectic fall (hence the absence of blog posts!). And, in case you haven't heard (or read somewhere), Adam was traded to Kansas City so we'll be moving in a few weeks. The news was a bit of a shock, but that's the way this crazy industry goes. I've learned to expect the unexpected -- definitely keeps us on our toes! I'm fortunate enough to be able to keep my job and work remotely and am looking forward to doing so. Besides work and travel, we've been frantically looking for a new place to live (on the internet) but will hopefully be visiting Kansas soon to see some apartments in person. After Thanksgiving, Adam and I will be traveling from Richmond to Palm Beach for my last conference of the year. I'm sooo looking forward to that because Adam actually gets to go with me this time! We're looking forward to sitting back for a few days, and just soaking everything in...

More visitors!

My dad came to visit us this weekend in Mass and we had such a great time. Adam and Dad went to Lexington on Friday while I was at work to copy Paul Revere's ride and on Saturday, we met up with my Aunt Mary to go into Boston. We walked through Chinatown (which I had not seen before) and went to a Blueman Group show. Those guys are crazy -- the show was really great. On Sunday, we were able to go to a Pat's game to watch our buddy Steve. We got to eat dinner with the players afterward and then gave my Dad a tour of the stadium. This is one of those things you take for granted until you're with someone who thinks it's really cool. I'm glad he came :)
