Stella, meet the World. World, meet Stella.

A rescue pup came into our lives this winter and oh boy is she a handful. We can't help but adore her, can't help but give her cuddles, and can't help but let her cause trouble simply due to how cute she is. Louie will try and act like he is annoyed, but I know he secretly loves her...

Nap time.

Winter Wonderland

Living in New England... it's been snowing so much. Louie loves it. I think he was born to play in the snow. The cold weather is starting to feel normal. "It's warm out!" -usually means it's about 30 degrees. My only pjs are capree length which is proving to be a bit uncomfortable on cold nights. No long socks. No sweaters. Definitely didn't plan ahead. We are still unpacking and I have decided that before the next big move we just need to sell every item we own and start over. Moving your house is most certainly not the way to go. This transition has been full of life lessons, and I'm ready to settle down and enjoy the winter wonderland outside my window.

It is COLD out this morning.

Road Trip!

Where to start? Too much has happened in the last month or so, it’s hard to keep track. I’m just going to lump it all together in a nice, sloppy snowball and throw it right at you.

Seth was offered, and accepted, the sales manager position at Nitro. It just so happens that this snowboard co’s US base is in the same area we grew up in. Therefore, as I type, we are making the UHaul drive from coast to coast, headed back to VT. The time in the car has been filled with daydreams, howling sessions, Louie always on the lookout for “big dogs” (aka horses, deer, cows, etc), and some mild cases of mistaken identity: “Look at the turkey on the hill!... oh wait, that’s a bald eagle.” “Look at the furry sheep, I just want to hug them!” “Taylor, those are cows.” “Oh…”

I feel sad to know Seattle is so far away, but the memories and friendships are valuable, and Vermont holds all new possibilities that I look forward to exploring. High-fives to new adventures!!

Dear Seattle...
