Some Very Exciting News...

I have some very exciting news that I have been chomping at the bit to share with you - something very exciting happened while we were on vacation - we got engaged!  It was surreal, magical and romantic and I still am in a bit of disbelief that I have found the most wonderful man to spend my life. I cannot wait to start planning our big day! Continue for more...

And in other great news - I am an aunt! While I was gone, my sister and her husband welcomed into the world a bundle of joy, Brendan William, named after my late-father.  Seeing his face warms my heart so much I cannot even tell you, I cannot wait to tell hold him soon - I will be making the trip up to Boston soon.  Also, my younger sister returned from serving two years in the Peace Corps in Guyana, I am so proud of her and admire her courage and her tenacity to make the world a better place.  There has been so much goodness around here, I could almost explode - I feel super grateful and happy.
