Chicago Trip

Aaron and I just got back from a fun trip to Chicago. We went to celebrate our cousins (Gabe & Cece's) First Communion. We also celebrated Aaron and Cece's birthdays! We had a fun-filled and busy weekend. We also met the Schrolls' new puppy Bocce (cute little lab).

Hiking

We went hiking in the Middlesex Fells with our new friends Ken and Sherlyn.

Claire's Visit

This past weekend Claire came to visit. We played with the cats, went hiking, and went out to a bar! It was a lot of fun - thanks for hanging out with us Claire. The boys miss you!

We will miss you Grandma Pless

I just got back from my grandmother's memorial service in Indiana, PA. Although it was a sad reason, it was wonderful to see family! Here is a picture of my grandma when she was quite young.

We also went to the land that my dad grew up on - the house is gone, but the land is pretty much the same. It was neat to see.

After party!

After the defense, I had went out to celebrate! Jessica and I had our air hockey rematch (she always wins)!

Anica's Trip to Michigan - for her Defense!!

I defended my dissertation on March 2, 2010 - successfully! I also got to visit with my friends - here is a picture of me with Nico and Duncan (my little men). Nice to see you guys!

Gaming

A couple weekends ago, Aaron and I went to a board game day at a local hotel. It was a little over-whelming (at least to me) to see all the games and gamers in one room. We learned some fun new games, and met some really nice people - so it was a good day despite our car breaking down before we went!
