Catching Up

Feels like its been a while since I posted anything on here… this is what I have been up to:

1. Conferences

2. Work (we had an amazing 1 day fundraiser then blew our $$ goals out of the water. True stat: per capita, Maine is one of the most generous States when it comes to charitable donations.)

3. Spring cleaning

4. BOSTON MARATHON!!!

This is my beautiful friend Lissa. She and I started school together when we were 3. She met my hubby when they were in college and she introduced us. She is also 1 of the 3 people that witnessed and signed the paperwork when I got married. She is amazing. And yesterday, in 90+ heat (some reports said 101 on the pavement), she completed her dream of running the Boston Marathon.
