Boston! Memorial Day Weekend.

Over Memorial Day weekend, Brian and I went to Boston to visit Jessica and Dave. There also happened to be the NCAA National Lacrosse Championship at Gilette Stadium :0)

Jessica and Dave tailgating before one of the games.

Jess and their dog Roco sitting in front of the fire.

Me showing Roco some love.

Friends are good.

Brian enjoying his first canoli...they are from Mike's Pastry...yum!

Apparently I am intently inspecting whether or not he likes it!

Lobster dinner! We made lobsters and they were HUGE!

I was laughing so hard when I took this picture it turned out all funny!

More tailgating.

Jessica and Dave's house overlooks a really pretty "pond." It is more of a lake to me!

Syracuse won it all!

Erin, a homemaker?!?

At the end of October I took on the task of dog sitting and house sitting for Stacy and Brad who have ventured off to England due to a job opportunity through Stacy's company. I will helping them out for at least 9 months, if not longer, depending on what happens with Stacy's job. So far, it has been going well and the dogs have been lots of fun. I have the unique opportunity to "try out" homeownership and dog ownership without the long term repsonsibilities.

A photo of the house on Thanksgiving Day -- our first dusting of snow.

Rex in his usual spot. He is male and about 8 years old. He is your typical dog, loves to lay around all day and LOVES his food.

Emma in her usual spot. She is female a bit younger (4 years I think). She's a great runner and has done the 3.6 mile loop around the house with me quite a few times.

Rex with a funny look on his face.

I tried to get a picture with both dogs sitting still -- not an easy task. Here I had to taunt them with a treat.

Vegas!

The NAR convention was in Vegas this year and we were lucky enough to be able to join in on the festivities. We had a great time with the usual Vredevoogd-Combs silliness.

Our parents suite was amazing...it even had a player piano. Leah had a great time posing on it!

The Vredevoogd's at dinner.

We went to see the Cirque de Solei show "Love." It was all set to Beatles songs and it was amazing! I loved it!!

Brian and I decided to take a quick trip to Venice. Just kidding! The Venetian had an indoor shopping area with real canal and a feaux ceiling. It looked so real!

Sarah and I in "Venice."

Laurie's Wedding!

The rehersal dinner was a barbeque at Laurie's parents beach house. It was great!

A view from the deck of our bed and breakfast.

The rest of the pictures: Lots of dancing and fun!!

Jessica's Wedding

This past weekend I ventured out to "Western Mass" for Jessica's wedding. Jess and I worked together at camp and she also moved out to Boston and was the best roomate a girl could have. Her wedding was tons of fun, full of classic Anderson humor. Here are some photos from the weekend.

The beautiful bride.

Pretty cake!

The happy couple!

Crazy groomsmen!

We spent some time taking picutres in this gorgeous park.

Dan and Maggie being silly.

More silliness!

Molly and I.
