An Extended Introduction

Okay, so now you all know what I do for a living and what some of my hobbies and interests are. But who am I really?

Let's start with the fun stuff.

I recently married my best friend in Vermont, where we both grew up. We met in middle school, fell in love at 16, and were serious by 18. We've been together ever since. September 14th was a magical, romantic day for us, and I am so excited for our life together to get started. Here's our first kiss!


And here we are on our honeymoon in the Riviera Maya - such a beautiful, relaxing place!



As I said, we're both from Vermont - small towns in Central Vermont to be exact. Although we've been living in Boston for over two years now, we are still Vermonters at heart. We love the crisp fall weather, the kind people and the incredible local food. If we could find jobs there, I'm sure we'd move back in an instant! 

In the meantime, we are enjoying all that Boston has to offer. As I briefly mentioned, I work in downtown Boston as a full-time grant writer for an amazing non-profit that helps low-income women move from poverty to self-sufficiency. My new husband, Gabe, is an electrical engineer for MIT's Lincoln Laboratory. 

The hubs spends his free time playing soccer and ultimate frisbee with friends, biking and running his small web design company, Long Trail Web, while I check out new yoga classes, cook up a storm and babysit for the world's greatest 6-year-old. 

When I have the time, I spend hours searching for new recipes in magazines and on the web (thank you, Pinterest!), and reading about yoga, meditation and alternative medicine. If I'm not at home, you can often find me strolling the aisles of Trader Joes and Whole Foods looking for new meal inspiration and fun healthy treats.

Gabe and I love staying in, cooking dinner together, watching our favorite TV shows and playing board games. We are definitely homebodies, but we also enjoy going out to explore new restaurants and bars, try new beers and craft cocktails and spending time with our friends. We are  hoping to settle down in the next few years, buy a house and start a family, but for now, we are exploring this great city and enjoying our life as newlyweds!

I think that just about covers it! 

Love,

Sera
