M'head

Yesterday we went to a wonderful wedding (the only other wedding we have to attend besides our own this year) in Marblehead (M'head to the locals) and I want to say congratulations to Hugh and Alett!!

On Tuesday, me and the girls will meet up at the Red Hat to discuss Alett's wedding and this will be the last Alett focused get together. After this week, my wedding will become the focus of the get togethers. I hope I don't start crying at the bars, that will be sad.

Also a note that my wedding day is Hugh's birthday - thought you would want to know.

The heat is on

I succumbed to the New England weather and turned my heat on today. My toes were just too cold.

Tu y Yo

That is where we went. Tu y Yo in Somerville. It had been a place B had wanted to try (I had already eaten there once). It is authentic Mexican food and a bit different. We opted to try the fried grasshoppers on another night but I did eat cactus for the first time. The texture was not what I was expecting and it reminded me of green beans. I had some chicken dish that was really good and B had Tinga.

However, the best part of the night was coming home to a package next to my door - from Macy's. Since it was the first wedding package we have received I waited for B to come over. When he got there I promptly told him that this was the only time I was waiting for him to open the box. Next time I am tearing in like a 3 year-old on Christmas morning.

So here it is in a pictorial format.

The big box full of peanuts

ooohhhh pretty bow

The engagement cards have gone and now we are putting up wedding cards.

Yes we did open the gift and we have stored the boxes in the china cabinent (Miriam is her name. Long story but yes, my china closet has a name. Though the best part about New England houses is the built in cabinents in the dining rooms. Pure genius.) until next November.

And no, I am not going to post pictures every time I am fortunate enough to receive a gift. But this is the first one and I am excited. Kind of like how you take a ton of pictures of the first kid and by the last one you have none. You know what I mean.

While I am Away

I am off to NYC for more dress try ons and seeing family. In my absence enjoy this picture of Massachusetts fall foliage.

Playing Hooky

I mentioned a few posts ago that B and I were taking off the Friday after the BC/VaTech game. I am glad we did since after the miraculous win, we (along with some of his friends) were the last to leave BSG. The win made for a non-cranky B on Friday as we went to Rockport for some no frills, economical, delicious lobster, clam chowder and ice cream. The drive up was really pretty as the foliage is hitting its peak. And being a Friday, there were not that many out of state leaf peepers. We hope to start exploring New England more. Next I want to go to a corn maze. We will see when that actually happens.

BC's next game is Saturday at home - we have a wedding and I have much empathy for the bride dealing with her BC alumnus groom to be. I wish her Godspeed. And B is not allowed to check scores during ceremony or reception. But I am sure any of his ten BC friends will keep him updated.
