A Day in the Life Of....

5th Anniversary (and Counting)......
8/9/08

We returned today from our weekend in Vermont. It was so nice to be alone, without using our phones or computers and being alone. We stayed in a great bed a breakfast in Wilmington, VT, a town with no fast foods, strip malls or anything modern. There was one grocery store, a post office, and a bank. There were inns and bed/breakfasts but no hotels. The town featured small cafes and pubs, craft stores and gift places. We drove into the mountains and rode around for a while. We also drove into the town called Marlboro, just for the sake of the name and saying we had been there. Our room was at the b/b was bigger than our NYC apartment. It had a king size bed, with a separate step down living room with a fireplace. There was a walk-in closet and a huge bathroom with a large two person jacuzzi tub. Breakfast was included with both nights and we had Saturday dinner there as well. The owner's wife is the chef. Prior to moving to Vt, she was a pastry chef at two San Francisco restaurants. Needless to say, the food was fabulous. In addition, the town was having a blueberry festival with everything from blueberry muffins to blueberry shortcake to buffalo wings with blueberry glaze. Crazy, huh? We did not have the wings... I enjoyed taking the time to be with my husband, away from the hustle and bustle, and talk to each other and just enjoy being together. I included a picture of the b/b we stayed in. Our camera was not charged and we discovered our charger was broken. Therefore, we had to use a ghetto disposable camera; thus, we do not have the pics back yet. Oh yeah, and, we stopped at the basketball hall of fame in Mass on the way home. Honestly, kind of a waste of time since my husband is a black hole of sports knowledge.... He already knew everything there.

Moving On....
So I do not have pictures back to our wedding and before. We did not have a digital camera back then and they are in old school format but I have pictures from June 2006 until now August 2008, which is a little over two years of our marriage. For those of you that know us, also know the years prior to these are not the most figure flattering years and possibly better that the world not see these pics. Anyhow, I have included pictures with dates over the last few years. It has been so crazy. We started in Gallatin, TN and moved to Athens, GA on our first anniversary for JT to work at UGA. In December 2005, I left for Dominica to live for 20 months without JT. While I was gone, JT had gastric bypass and lost between 150 and 170 pounds and then had to have gall bladder surgery. He also moved back to Louisville and worked at his home high school. We ran our first half marathon in April 07. I moved home in August 07, then we headed to Dallas for a six week test prep and since then have moved to NYC. And in two short months, we will be moving back to KY. What a five years!!!! I can't imagine the next five could have nearly as much change and moving around. Then again, who knows!
