Maybe I'm a bad wife...

but I made Eric skip class yesterday.  After all, it was Patriot's Day, only the coolest day of the year out here in Massachusetts!  Last year I celebrated with Aspen while Eric was at school and had such a great time, I figured he couldn't move away without seeing what all the hype was
about.


Later in the day we stopped by mile 19 of the Boston Marathon and cheered on the runners. This is my favorite part of Patriot's Day.  It's so inspiring to see those runners working so hard, so many of them for a cause they really believe in.  Maybe one day I'll get my rear in gear and run it!  I was kicking myself yesterday that I haven't seriously considered doing it.  I think it would be amazing, though!  In the evening we went to get some ice cream with a bunch of friends from church.  What a perfect way to end a day, right?


Okay, so these photos of us grabbing ice cream are actually from a couple days earlier, when it was 70 degrees out (hello).  Last night it was raining and cold, but I didn't snap any photos, so here's us at the same place a couple days earlier!  By the way, Eric said celebrating Patriot's Day was way cooler than going to class.....

Yay!! What a fun day! I love that first shot of the three of you. It's so perfect and you look beautiful.

I love that there's still patriotism in masses somewhere in our country! Rock on.
