We're Going to Boston!

Yes, it's true! In a couple of weeks Cory and I will be in Boston for 6 days!! I cannot wait to go. I've never been even remotely close to the east coast, so this will be a totally new experience for me. Cory absolutely drools over everything Boston, so I will have the best tour guide ever. We don't have much planned as of now, but I'm sure there will be lots of seafood (for Cory), baseball (for us both), and some shopping? :) Maybe. But I know for sure that it will be a blast. [Actually, as a side note, my straightener broke a couple of weeks ago and I was just going to make do until Christmas or something, but since humidity and my hair are not friends, I just bought one yesterday! :)]  When we were dating, Cory and I both found that we shared a strong love and desire to travel.  When we were married we set up a separate account called "World Traveling Fund".  This is our first trip using that fund and we are more than elated to be doing it! I wish we could be going with friends or family, but this will be such a nice trip for just the two of us as well. Especially since my crazy semester of 19 credits will be starting up very (too) soon. We both have been working full time this summer, which means zero outdoor time. We. Are. Dying.  Like I'm whiter than I am in the winter.

Even whiter than winter white!

Just for looks... :)

 Not too fun. We are, however, a little tentative about spending so much in one week-especially after such a grueling summer of work. It's amazing how much things add up when you are on vacation; breakfast, lunch, dinner, outings, adventures, etc., are not cheap! I have been looking on Groupon and LivingSocial in Boston everyday for deals on things we may be interested in. I haven't found anything yet, but maybe all of my hard work will pay off and we'll save money on something! I'm just so excited!

Todchel!

Our good friends, Todd and Rachel, are getting married this weekend and I am so excited!!! We have loved spending time with them as an engaged couple, but things will only get better once they're married! I'm so happy for them, and I'm so excited because Cory and I are both in the wedding party. It will be like we're getting married all over again! :) But really, it will be fun to get to spend more time together than if just one of us were in it. We are anticipating an evening filled with fun and friends, surrounded by a beautiful view at Rachel's parents' house in Huntsville. Can't wait! Congrats Todchel, we love you two!

Lunchtime!

Sometimes I wake up and I realize that I am so lucky! Like today.  I just love waking up to Cory's cute little sleepy face kisses.  The other day I woke up and stole his phone to take a picture of him sleeping (which he hates for some reason) because he looked so so cute! I don't know if I was even coherent at that point, but I knew I had to take that picture.  I, on the other hand, do not look so great in the mornings which could be due to my hyper movements at night. Work has been such a drag recently. I think coming down from the vacation high is always hard (Lake Powell sunshine 24/7 is hard to get over period), but recently Cory and I have been able to eat lunch together and it is so nice! It's like a little mini vacation. :) We usually meet in the Wilkinson Center, where he is working, and spend about 45 minutes together in total bliss; not only because we're eating together, but because we are finally eating! It's so nice to be working so close to each other to sneak away for a little lunch/vent/laugh break.  I'm so lucky.

I tried to get Cory to email me that picture-for like 4 days-but he wouldn't! Sorry, no picture. :(
