1/12 of 26.2


Yesterday was my one month wedding anniversary! I'm not really going to be one of those crazy people, but it is pretty crazy that it has only/already been a month.

Matty and I have both been pretty busy since we have been home; I am back to trying to save the world and throwing lots of parties (which are sometimes related) and he is off training for the Boston Marathon (!!!). I am super proud of him and excited to be his fund raising manager. I plan on throwing at least two epic fund raiser parties and am going to utilize the crap out of social networking sites to try and bring in the bucks. His goal is $2,000 and I hope to surpass that, especially since it is going to help fight rare diseases and he is able to run because of Genzyme's support of the National Organization for Rare Disorders. He is going to kick so much ass and I am super excited to be the crazy lady with the shirt and the sign and the beer breath at the finish line to hug him (even if his nipples are bloody, which I am praying does not happen, at least for my sake). Stay tuned for lots of info on how to support him and his team as they prepare for April! My poor husband will be running through the snow while I sit at home and plan menus for his fund raisers...seems fair, no?

Matty is inspiring me to get back to the gym and actually stick with it. I am not going to attempt to run again, which was one of the saddest attempts at athletics I have made since basketball in middle school, but I would like to get back into my weekly spin class/yoga/pilates/5ks on the elliptical routine that I was in pre-wedding. This has been an awesome month of eating and drinking and snuggling at home with my husband, but I seriously feel like crap. Not working out has a very real impact on both my mental and my physical health and right now I am feeling super fatigued, sore and all over yucky. I am excited to get back into a routine and to support Matty by not waving good bye to him as he goes out to train from the couch. I went to the gym tonight and read my book on the elliptical and felt so much better when I got home tonight. I just have to make the time for it, even if it is in short spurts, it makes me feel so much better.

Other cool things that are going on include me being put in charge of all of the social networking at Community Work Services (Twitter and Facebook) and I get to do the photography at all of our upcoming events. It is an exciting way for me to carve my niche at my new job, and it gives me the opportunity to do things that I love while I work, and not get in trouble for it. No more hiding the browser at my desk!
I am also doing this awesome Community Dialogue that I want to devote a blog to soon, planning me and Matty's trip to Ireland for our birthdays in May, and working on our awesome Halloween costumes.
Matty is letting me catch up on the Spin Crowd because we ran out of things to watch on our DVR that aren't 90210 or on E! so I am going to take advantage of this.

A Day in the Life: Food Edition

If you haven't figured it out from this here blog, my life is pretty darn busy but I crave routine and do a pretty good job at sticking to a "regular" schedule, even if it does start at 5am and end sometime after 10pm. One of my most consistent things in life is definitely my eating. I love to eat, and love trying new foods and new restaurants but during the week I am the most boring person ever because I literally eat the same things at the same time every single day. At dinner, we get buck wild, but between 5 and 5, I am like a senior citizen. Here is a day in the life of what I am munching on: 5:00am (or whenever I stop hitting snooze) : one cup of coffee brewed at home with a hefty splash of half and half. I recently switched to the "light cream" store brand but that is as low on the fat as I will go - milk just does not do it for me like cream does. Post-run/workout (around 6:45) : second cup of coffee with cream Commute breakfast (between 7:1...

Good-Bye Green Line

Tonight is officially my last night as an Allstonian. Or a Brightonian. I won't even live off the green line after I wake up tomorrow morning. No more 45 minute train rides that stop every block, no more "This train will run express to Packard's Corner". Tomorrow when I wake up I will pack the cat into his carrier, grab my purse and my husband will drive me and this baby in my belly to Dorchester, to our home, where we will have our first baby, our first wedding anniversary, where we will be "mom and dad" for the first time instead of just "husband and wife" or "Stef and Matty". I will use the vacuum cleaner Matty bought last night, the first new vacuum cleaner I have ever owned in my twenty nine years, and I will hang up pictures from our wedding, our trips to other states and time zones, pictures of our friends and our families. And on Monday I will wake up and catch the Red Line into work. It won't take too long, despite being fart...

I'm engaged!!!

Yep, the love of my life, my best friend, the most handsome man that I have ever laid eyes on asked me to marry him, and of course, I said YES! I could not possibly be any more excited. I am literally bubbling over like a glass of champagne with excitement and love for absolutely everything and everyone. First and foremost, I am so elated that I am going to spend the rest of my life with the love of my life. Growing old will be void of anything dull, boring, or not completely hilarious. We are going to have beautiful babies and live happily ever after - no wicked Stepmothers, turning into vegetables, or singing mice about it - this is my fairy tale ending. Second to that is the love and support that we have been receiving from our family, friends, co-workers, and even complete strangers! Although we have been talking about getting married since we met and began our whirlwind romance, it is so exciting to shout it from the rooftops and celebrate our love with everyone. We have an amazin...
