Spent the day with Eric in Boston a couple of weeks back. Had so much fun strolling along the beach, taking pictures, and enjoying the beautiful weather. We decided to go to the New England Aquarium. So much fun. Haven't been since I was a kid. Saw some fascinating and beautiful creatures. Finished out the day roaming downtown Boston, and had a great dinner. Another awesome trip to add to the ever growing list! 

Amazing!

 Eric got me a present while on vacation in Vermont. Isn't it incredible?! Did some research, and it's from the first national tour. What a treasure!

Olde Mistick Village/Foxwoods Birthday Celebration: June 29-30, 2026

Went to Foxwoods overnight for my birthday last month with Eric. Wanted to explore Connecticut a little bit before heading to the hotel, and happened across Olde Mistick Village. A beautiful, nostalgic time warp with vintage shops, incredible views, good food, and friendly people. Day was going swimmingly until Eric decided he wanted to run over his front, and lose a chunk of toenail. Don't know. Maybe it was a crazy fashion choice or something? Anyway, we made our way to the hotel so that he could sanitize, clean, and bandage his injury, and then got sucked into slots for a little while. We both left up, so that's definitely a win if you ask me. Good times! Great memories!

Fun!

A while back, Eric and I went out for lunch downtown, and took a nice stroll along the pier to look at the boats, and get some ice cream. Great way to spend the afternoon. 

Don't Cry For Me!

I still can't believe I'm writing these words, but I got a pair of tickets for Eric and I to see the Broadway revival of Evita on June 29, 2027! Doesn't seem real. Got an email on May 29th with a presale code, called, and had tickets in last than 5 minutes. To say that I feel blessed and grateful is the understatement of the year. The New York trip for my birthday next year is probably going to end up being one of the defining times of my life. So overwhelmed right now, but in the best way possible.

Good Time!

 Spent the day with Eric at his apartment on May 27th. We watched the final Broadway performance of Rent, chatted, I listened and watched while he played guitar, and we capped the day off with our fabulous dinner of rack of lamb and roasted potatoes, with brownies for dessert. Would normally include pictures with the post, but none taken came out. Fantastic, fun day.

O-Town Concert At Foxwoods: April 17, 2026

 That's right! Got to see my boys again! Still can't believe Eric came with me. We had a great day of shopping, good food, some gambling, and an awesome concert. Eric even begrudgingly admitted O-Town puts on a good show. You could have knocked me over with a feather when he said that. Such a wonderful day! Wish I had gotten to me them again, but refused to pay the ridiculous meet and greet price. Oh, well. Can't believe I almost forgot to mention that I turned  $25 free play into $78! So cool! Thank you, King Kong slot machine.

April 17th!

 Had mentioned to Eric the other day that O-Town is coming to Foxwoods, and that I would love to go. Went back and forth for a little while before making a decision, but got the tickets! Going to be so much fun. Don't really care about the people on the bill with them, but can't wait to see my boys. Super excited to share this experience with my best friend. O-Town isn't normally a group Eric would listen to, but I genuinely think he is going to get swept up in the fun atmosphere, and have a good time. Will be the fifth time I've seen O-Town. Who knows, maybe I'll even get to meet them again. Going to be a great day trip with awesome food, fantastic company, a little gambling, some shopping, and a fun show to end the night. Can't come soon enough!

Cornelius!

 Meet Cornelius! Eric and I rescued him from Michaels, the day we saw Earth, Wind & Fire. Finally got around to the painting part, and I love how he turned out. Confession time. Cornelius is not his original given name, but I can't remember what was. Doesn't really matter. He's adorable no matter what. 

Christmas Presents From Eric: 2025

 Okay, so, I know the title is self-explanatory, but the gifts were amazing. The whiskey fudge is absolutely delicious, the Labyrinth calendar is iconic, the nutcracker is equal parts terrifying and weird, but let's talk about the ceramic Christmas tree. Don't know if I've ever posted about my desire to own one on this blog, but I have wanted to since I was little. Must have said this to Eric at least a dozen times over the years. Thought I knew what the present was by the shape of the box, (I was totally wrong), but was completely shocked when I saw it. So beautiful! So grateful to finally have one. That it came from my favorite person makes it all the more special. Eric puts a great amount of time and effort into the gifts he gives, and they never disappoint. Awesome Christmas morning exchanging presents, and making memories.

Captured Us Perfectly!

Found a Simpsons filter on an Instagram ad a couple of days before Christmas and did this. Loved it so much that I printed it out, framed it, and gave it to Eric for Christmas. Don't know how he feels about it yet, as I'm writing this in advance, and scheduling posting. Will be sure to let everyone know.

 Went back to Provincetown for my birthday in 2023. Lazy, calm, perfect day with my best friend. Absolutely nothing better.

My first trip to Provincetown! Such a wonderful time! Enjoyed the beach, had wonderful food, and was in fantastic company. Oliver even joined us. Eric thought me getting a little tipsy after having a jack and coke was pretty hilarious. Wonderful day, wonderful memories. Hope you like the pictures.
