We've been planning the wedding which will be in late August. We're still trying to keep it small and simple. We're very grateful that Mom has been helping coordinate things quite a bit.
After a month of saying "I know I'm going to fail", Jessica found out two days ago that she did pass level 1 of the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) exam. She's now planning to take level 2 in June.
I watched the inauguration ceremony for the first time in my life... at work. The company I'm at right now will undoubtedly benefit from the Obama administration's support for "smart grid" technology, so it was almost a company sanctioned event.
J. is working on starting an online tea business. We've been taking lots of pictures of tea.
It's been really cold here. The average high for Boston in January is 36 degrees... that's not warm, but probably not quite as cold as a lot of people think. This year, however, there have been only 4 days when the temp surpassed 32. The beach in front of our house looked a lot like the coast of Antarctica. It was beautiful in a strange way, but the novelty wore off pretty quickly for me. To escape all of this, we're trying to squeeze in a short trip to the Caribbean for 4 or 5 days sometime in the next month if my work schedule allows.
We took Simon and Susie to the vet last Wednesday where Simon lost his manhood, and Susie her fecundity. It's always sad to have to do this, but it needed to be done. Susie had a reaction to the pain medicine that they gave her. The vet told us to stop giving it to her, and since then she's been fine. Simon doesn't seem to be even slightly phased by any of this.

Your photos look wonderful! And congrats to Jessica on passing the first exam. =)
Hope you're both well. Stay warm!

Hi there! I meant to tell you that I really admire your picture of Boston out your window at the top of this post! You need to submit it to the photo contest and call it something like "Boston...Out of Our Window"
Love, Mom
Thanks mom,
Maybe I will if there's ever a contest theme that matches. Actually, maybe I should wash the window and take the picture again before doing that!
Hi guys! Like you, my fiance and I both live in the Boston metro area. I found your blog during a "Puerto Rico" Google search. We got engaged in San Juan early last year and are having a destination wedding in Puerto Rico this May (with the honeymoon on the island as well). We really enjoyed your photos and blog and wholeheartedly agree that PR is an ideal vacation destination for Bostonians (after all, the many direct flights are marginally longer than a drive to the Cape in the summer, and lodging is actually cheaper).
Best of luck and congrats on your engagement!
To the people who just anonymously posted: Glad you enjoyed our pictures and stories!
