I remember seeing Stephanie in line during college orientation, standing outside of the dorm at Wentworth Institute of Technology in Boston.  Flashback to the good, old college years.  We were in the same major through school, and it was during college that she met her husband Jon.  We all have been fortunate enough to stay […]

I can’t tell you exactly when I met Andrew in school growing up, all I know is that he is funny.  We had a lot of laughs with other friends, and I even let him copy a paper once.  In an appropriate demonstration of karma, his was picked as one of the worst.  But that’s […]

On January 24, 2015 we had the privilege of Mother Nature gracing us with snow for Sam and James’ Red Lion Inn wedding!  Good thing that Sam had wished for snow on her wedding day!  Sam and James have been talking about this day for months; all the preparation paid off and everything came together […]
