25 & Boston.

This week, I turned 25.

I've been trying my best to come up with a list of the top things that happened to me this year, but I've done such a bad job of documenting this year that it is all kind of blurred together.

One thing that definitely stands out is our trip to Boston in September. It was the first time we've been on a trip like that together since our honeymoon. We both liked it more than any other city that we've been to and had a lot of fun experiencing the different areas that it had to offer.

We took a tour through the city on the Trolly, because we figured that would be the best way to see everything. I'm glad we did, because even though I had checked out the DK Guide from the library, I barely touched it before we went on the trip.

 Of course, we had to stop and eat at Cheers. We ate right in the room they did all of the filming in. The food was very reasonable, and Brian loved his burger he had there. Do you like his dorky, "I'm riding the Trolly" sticker? I refused to wear mine.

This is the only picture of me from the trip that I feel comfortable posting online.. and it isn't even a good one. I was so uncomfortable with how I felt/looked the entire time we were there. I just wanted to walk around in sweats the whole time.. but knew that probably wasn't appropriate. 

Of course, a trip to Boston wouldn't be complete without a stop at Fenway Park. Since there wasn't a home game the dates we were there, we decided to take a tour. I was exhausted the day we did this tour and I will be the first to admit I was a poor sport about it. Brian really wanted to do the tour, but I couldn't find the energy to suck it up and have a good time. We had walked so much before this stop and it was HOT outside. By the end, I was glad that we had done the tour, I just felt bad for Brian for having to put up with my bad attitude. 

Before we left, we made some time to head south of Boston and visit the Cape area. Brian's cousin Bryce is the Captain of a fishing yacht and he just so happened to be in Falmouth while we were in the area.

That's the view of the hotel we found while we were there. When we left for our trip, we still hadn't booked a place to stay the last 2 nights before we came home. We found this place online for 80 bucks a night and it was amazing! We loved it here.

I would definitely say that year 24 of my life was fantastic! I am blessed to be surrounded by the people I love. I am thankful to have a job that allows me to spend time with my spouse and take time away for a vacation. Most importantly, I am excited to welcome this little girl into our lives in less than two months!
