A Wedding in Cambridge

Tuesday, March 1, 2011 - 
I had a great time with friends this past weekend in Boston.  I had flown in to spend sometime with my friend DC, who cooked me a great meal of salmon, garlic potatoes and sauteed kale & mushrooms on Friday evening.  We enjoyed a bottle of wine and some cupcakes from Baby Cakes, located in Quincy.  I loved spending the evening with her (thanks Denise!), but the initial weekend visit was planned because of the wedding of my two dear friends, Maggie & Paul!

After getting a mani with Denise, I made my way to Michelle & Bret's apartment.  Michelle was a bridesmaid, so I hung out with Bret (they are engaged to be married in 2012, which I am also honored to be the wedding coordinator for!) until we made our way to Hotel Marlowe for the wedding.  I met Paul when I was pledging Sigma Kappa Sorority in 2000.  We were instant friends, so when Maggie (who I met when she pledged Sigma Kappa a few years later to became a sister of mine) and Paul ended up dating, I couldn't have been happier for the two of them.  Warm fuzzies when two friends tie the knot - the ceremony and reception were perfectly them in all characteristics.  Here are some photos:


It was great to see friends from the Delta Upsilon chapter as well as my dear Sigma Kappa friends.  Thanks Michelle & Bret for allowing me to crash your couch - much appreciated, can't wait to do it again!

Football Tailgating - Go Badgers!

Sunday, November 7, 2010 - 
One of the many things I miss about Wisconsin is the love of football.  Don't get me wrong, I know people across the country love football too, but there is something about your home state and the love you feel for your team.  Though I didn't attend UofWisconsin, I am still passionate about the University.  I'll wear red with pride - and I was able to do so with friends on Saturday when Purdue University played Madison.  Note: I attended the University of Massachusetts, but alas, football wasn't very big there which was a huge shock for this Green Bay girl who loves football (Go Pack Go!)  But no worries, I still had a great time supporting UMass!!

It really was a great game.  I say this not only because the Badgers dominated, but because of great friends, good food and drinks, and overall just a great time tailgating.  We arrived early and ate so many maple sausages I can't even tell you, then stayed after the game for some bratwursts, hot dogs and hamburgers.  Here is a photo recap to show you the fun:




How was your weekend?
