The Martians Have Landed!

The Martian Marathon in Dearborn: I have to say, this was definitely one of the more interesting of the marathons that Kevin has run… If only due to the theme. Intrigued? Then stay tuned. Thanks to taking shorter lunch breaks during the week and skipping my lunch break on Friday, we were able to hit [...]

“So, How Do You Get Your Own Paparazzi?”

This weekend, we headed to the east side of the state to hang out with the fam and attend one of Brad’s basketball tournaments. With most of his games on Tuesdays and Thursdays, we were excited to finally be able to see not one, but two games– bad sister and brother-in-law no longer! Here’s a [...]

…And Exhale

Today was a great day! The sun was shining, and (much more importantly) Kevin came home!! He was in CT for work, which added up to 74 hours apart this time. While that may sound like nothing to a couple who only saw each other on weekends for 99.99% of their courtship, I’d like to [...]

Weekend Highlights

Kevin’s 26.2 Celebration! This weekend, Kevin was officially 26.2 years old. I know. I counted. For all of you not up on your running stats, 26.2 miles is the distance of a marathon. So, for our fave Marathon Man, it was a pretty big deal! We celebrated by dining out at Olive’s in Gaslight Village [...]

Our Trip to the Great Up North

In honor of the long Labor Day weekend, and in the spirit of the Great American Road Trip, we put aside some time to let go of work and travel to the Great Up North. It was kind of a whirlwind trip, but sometimes those are the best. You get there, do/see/eat/buy what you want, [...]

Happy Labor(-free) Day!

Does this look like someone who labored on Labor Day? I think not! I hope you had a wonderful and relaxing day (free from any and all labor) to cap off a fabulous and relaxing long weekend!! We sure did. We spent time in Leland, Glen Arbor, and Suttons Bay- the great trifecta of Up [...]

Wonderful Weekend

Saturday- Christine & Bill’s Housewarming Party and a stay at the Brady Bed & Breakfast We started Saturday nice and easy, with a relaxing morning at home. Kevin went out for a 10 mile run while I yoga-ed and checked out Gaslight Village’s disappointing sidewalk sales… I don’t think 95% of the stores got the [...]

All I Want for Christmas

It’s not my two front teeth. It’s not a hippopotamus. I already have an Easy Bake Oven (and a full-size one, too!). And of course, I already have the most wonderful hubby, so it’s not that either… Ok, I’ll just tell you. Apple just announced 3 new Travel Apps for the iPhone… and the city [...]

Positively Pittsburgh

Matt and Allison got married on October 18 in Pittsburgh. We flew out there on Thursday to check in and pick up Kevin’s tux and were in for a whirlwind wedding weekend. Unfortunately, we didn’t have time to visit the museums… but we did see one of the Carnegie’s dinosaurs in the airport if that [...]
