Hello from North Dakota on a very rainy Thursday! It's been a busy, emotional week on our end. I'm in the final half of the semester (5 Weeks and 1 Day to go! What? Senioritis? Nooooo...) and it seems that some of my professors think that their class is the only one I'm taking. One … Continue reading It’s Been Awhile…

You Know You’re in Oregon When…
Ok, so maybe I should say I know I'm in Oregon when....or I know I'm Home When... Regardless, here's a glimpse at my trip to Oregon. I know I'm in Oregon when... 1) there are deer in my front yard...and I live in town. 2) my little cousin Rochelle dresses up, and asks me if … Continue reading You Know You’re in Oregon When…
Oregon Trail
Hey all, I am heading off to Oregon (aka best state in the union) for the next week, so I will not be tweeting/blogging/surfing/whatever else I do online, because I have decided to not bring my laptop. I already feel the liberation of this decision! I'm thrilled to spend time with my family, and make … Continue reading Oregon Trail

Seven Years Ago Today….
I met the love of my life. Ironically, 7 years ago the Patriots were in the Super Bowl also. That year they beat the Eagles...but their fate today will not be so favorable. Anyways, back to the important part. I met Josh on a retreat in Seaside, Oregon and it was love at first sight. … Continue reading Seven Years Ago Today….
Beautiful Afternoon
January 27: Last night it snowed a few inches here in Grand Forks. When I first peered out the window this morning, fog still clinging to the glass, I did not expect the sun to come out. I'm glad I was wrong, because it turned out to be a lovely day of about 30 degrees. … Continue reading Beautiful Afternoon
Second Semester and Such

The Murder of the Iconic Daytime Television Show: One Life to Live
Friday, January 13th (a very unlucky day, indeed) will be the end of an era; it is the day that The Executioner, ABC, puts One Life to Live under the guillotine. ABC believed that OLTL was unwanted, that the murder may go unnoticed by television viewers. Perhaps they also thought that the generation of Soap … Continue reading The Murder of the Iconic Daytime Television Show: One Life to Live
Merry (almost) Christmas
The next few days will be quite busy for us, and so I'm taking my chance now to say Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones! Below is the Christmas letter that Josh and I sent out (the one some of you may be receiving this very day!). Have a blessed Christmas and a … Continue reading Merry (almost) Christmas
Back to Boston
It felt like I'd never left Boston; everything came back so naturally. It was all such a gift - the chance to reunite with friends, to see the city, to witness the blessing of the Daughters of Mary of Nazareth, to celebrate Sunday Mass at the Convent of Saint Joseph of Nazareth, to hug my … Continue reading Back to Boston
