Inseparable Nomads

On Tuesday I had the chance to volunteer at my first Habitat for Humanity construction site shift!  I have volunteered before, but only in the office stuffing envelopes, so I was really excited to get on a site and get some work done on a house.
Back in college, my friend, Quinnen, introduced me to Habitat [...]

So Shelby and I had another flight-filled weekend. Literally…
With the recent sale of my turntables (and therefore some extra cash) we decided to head up to Nashua again as a follow up to our first indoor skydiving adventure. This time we went with the intent to pick up some new skills instead of just play [...]

Hey Guys,
I felt like posting a little life update given that’s it been a while since our last post. I can assure you that Shelby and I have been doing many exciting things but are experiencing a the general laziness that comes over bloggers when confronted by chaotic real lives.

Andrew’s 23rd birthday was the 9th of September which was unfortunately right after we first moved into our new place.  We had an apartment that was in the just-moved-in state, practically no money and we had both recently started new jobs.  Andrew has frequently commented on how his past birthdays [...]

It’s a special day for us today since 9/12 marks the anniversary of our first year together! We’ve already come so far, learned so much about each other, had so many adventures. We’re very happy to be where we are in life, with each other and look forward to many many more years [...]

After all the chaos of moving all our stuff out of Ithaca and into storage in Boston we were more than ready for a vacation!  We had decided that we would still go visit a few people along the first leg of our original trip out west after the decision to move to Boston since [...]

By popular demand…
Following are some photos of my new haircut — since so many of you were asking!
I went up to City Style in Collegetown (up by Cornell University). They are a fancy-pants styling salon and do a fantastic job. Traditionally you could go and get a beer or a cocktail while getting [...]
