Fun in Boston

Of course Matt and I continued date night once we returned...sometimes it was the only time we really had for each other! Matt was so busy with his Masters' thesis but we wanted to make sure that we were still making our relationship a priority. We both have ice skates, and a love for skating, so we found a little rink that had skating one night and went for a spin! We got pretty good at taking pictures of ourselves!

Our Return to Boston

After going to Wisconsin, and driving all the way back to Boston in Hugh, Carly's dad's BIG green van, we were pleasantly surprised! Our wonderful but sneaky friends had been in our apartment and left us lots of goodies! We had a welcome home feast fit for kings, wonderful smelling candles, as well as chocolate! Couldn't forget the chocolate! Dessert was for me, however our friends know us well enough to know Matt doesn't do dessert, but second dinner. Of course since we had been gone for a while, we hardly had food in the house, so breakfast the next morning was also taken care of! They truly thought of everything! We are so blessed!

The Mini-moon

Matt and I weren't able to take a long honeymoon right after the wedding, however we were able to take what we affectionately call a "mini-moon." We spent four days and three nights in a little cabin in Door County, Wisconsin. Yep, you can tell I am from Illinois, we vacationed in Wisconsin. Doesn't everyone from Illinois go to Wisconsin??
It was a great little trip...although it seemed to go so fast! Matt and I enjoyed our first few days of marriage together, but then all too soon were pushed back into reality. Matt and I went back to Chicago, packed the BIG GREEN VAN, and headed back to Boston. Matt needed to work on his master's thesis, and I needed to get back to work as well.
