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.

XoXo

5 Things I Love // 1

I love a lot of things and I really like to share these things, so I am starting a new weekly post just to talk and share and maybe hear about what other people love. Love it! First of all, I hope everyone had a chance to reflect of the life of Dr. King today, whose words never become antiquated. Today more than ever his speeches, his work and his method of non-violence are great examples of how to fight for social justice. Every year I spend some of this day talking to Maddie about Dr. King's message and I can only hope that it helps form her and inspire her to be a change agent in her world. On to much less meaningful things now: five things I am totally digging. 1. Nars blush in Orgasm . I have had this on my to-buy list for ages and was forced urged by my husband to finally buy it Saturday afternoon before a date night. I love it. It is the perfect color, the perfect amount of shimmer and actually lasts the whole day. Sold. 2. Bastille Kitchen in Fort Point. Spea...

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...

Winter Wish Listing

I feel like I have been home a lot lately. Like, way more than usual. It probably has a lot to do with the mass amounts of snow that we have been getting and the hibernation mode that puts me in as well as the fact that I have been going to the gym in the morning now, so I get to come straight home, which is awesome. This is going to be the last winter in this apartment, which of course has been making me stare at the walls and daydream about our new apartment, and I have decided that there are only a few things that I want that I don't have now: One or two of these little buggers would make me very happy, maybe just one since they are 85 pounds. Did I mention that they can climb trees?? So cool! I miss having a bedroom closet. I have a wardrobe, which I love, but I also have a serious addiction to clothes...and shoes...and jackets...and having an equally fashionable husband. Not having the storage space just plain sucks, and I refuse to live without a closet anymore!!! I want more...
