Bittersweet

As we come up on our final year in Boston, I am finding myself so ready for a new adventure, yet so sad to be leaving. We have made some of the best friends we have ever had here and I am going to miss everyone so much. I guess that the good thing is that the Coast Guard is such a small branch, that there is a very good chance that we will all see each other again someday. It's even likely that we'll see our Air Force Friends again too! I love, and I do mean LOVE the area that we have spent the last few years in. It is such a quaint little town and there is so much history. I love the summers here with the big oak trees that overhang all of the back roads, hanging out at the pond, coffee dates and playing outside. I adore the fall apple picking and absolutely gorgeous foliage. I'll miss the beautiful blooms that let you know that warm weather is coming in the spring. I might even miss the winters, with the snow drifts that are taller than I am, hot tea and good books when it is snowing, and watching my little girl try to catch snowflakes on her tongue. ::sigh:: It is all very bittersweet.

That being said, I plan on making the most of this next year. Olivia is starting preschool (where did the time go?!) and we will also be enrolling her in ballet class. We are going to try and go camping up in the White Mountains one of these weekends that my husband is home. We also plan on doing our annual apple picking in New Hampshire, which is always so much fun. I'm so excited to make pies and other delicious apple-y treats for everyone and promise that I'll be posting the recipes as I make them! I'm going to continue hosting Friday coffees at my house and volunteering my time when needed. Finally, In order to ensure that I am even more insanely busy than normal, I will be assisting in planning the events for our local Coast Guard Spouses Association, as well as the Spouses club here on base, so I can officially be declared a crazy person. I also plan on blogging regularly with all kinds of recipes, life posts and product reviews. I'm pretty excited! It's going to be a fun filled year!

I'm Baaaaaaaaaack!

After a (long) hiatus, I'm pleased to announce that I have returned to blogging and will be updating much more frequently with new recipes and quirks since my daughter will be starting preschool soon! Life became pretty hectic soon after I started the blog and I just couldn't find the time or energy to write. I'm so excited to be back! I am a Bzz Agent and will be posting my reviews, along with other product reviews and chronicling daily life as we await orders to a new, possibly (hopefully) exciting location! 

Talk to y'all soon!
