  Since last week was our anniversary, we celebrated by going back to New England (where we got married) and doing a little roadtrip.

We flew on a redeye flight, and the sky was gorgeous as the sun was rising! Look at the moon!

We landed at 5am, so we took the T across the city to Harvard Square to get our rental car.

Early morning city:

A Smart Car!

It was actually pretty roomy for all our luggage!

Our first stop (after grabbing some Dunkin Donuts Coffee) was to visit my lovely friend Shelby, who just had a baby, Harper, a couple of months ago!!

Irving held her for a while and Harper actually fell asleep in his arms!

But she loves her Daddy!

Later we watched the World Cup Semi-Finals

Irving was so excited tired that he fell asleep on the couch!

Looks like everyone was a little sleepy!

So Shelby and I took full advantage of the quiet house and played a game of Blokus!

Last night, Erika and Timmy invited us and Ashley and JR over for dinner!

They were making homemade pizzas! And I was in charge of bringing pepperoni!

I headed to a local Italian Deli and picked some up!

And while I was at it, I bought a fresh roll for a snack! Mmmm!IMG_4501

I’m the type of person who has to eat at 5:15pm every night when I get home, or I just feel like I’m going to starve. haha

[hmmm no pictures of our amazing dinner at Erika’s!!! Sad! But check some out on her blog!]

Trust me, Dinner was amazing.

The girls (with Ashley’s baby bump)!

Thanks for a fun night, guys!

  On the fourth of July, Erika and Timmy came over for a fun afternoon of games!

We started out with a game of “Wineopoly”. I think my sister gave us this a few years back. It was actually a really fun game!

It’s just like Monopoly, but with a twist.
IMG_4451

Erika and I pretty much tied, and Timmy lost—big time. HAHA

Look at all his mortgaged properties!
IMG_4450

After the game, we grilled up quite the feast!

IMG_4453

We ate on my roof while waiting for the fireworks!

Look what flew over at dusk!
IMG_4454

We were able to see fireworks displays in every direction we looked!

IMG_4468 IMG_4462 IMG_4466

But the best fireworks were the ones the neighbors were shooting off right next door! They were so close and big!

But soon the police caught on and came by to arrest them… these blue and red lights are the police sirens. lol

Happy 4th of July!

It was one year ago this weekend that we left LA for our wedding week in New England!

But not before the newlyweds Ashley and JR came over to bring us to the airport!

Ashley was showing off her new “wife skills” by donning a cute apron and bringing this bad boy:
MmmmCake

Love that newlywed smile!

Happy 4th of July weekend everyone!
