Autumn & Jerry

Today J and I are celebrating 5 happy years of being together. On this date in 2003, we met and begin our relationship, which has blossomed through dating, engagement, marriage, graduation, buying a new home together, and much, much more. The fact that we continue to grow and blossom together is by far the best [...]

So, J has found a fabulous new way to stay in shape, and now I am completely into it too! Of course, the journey has already been horribly rocky after he was hit by a car less than two weeks after purchasing our fancy bikes, but he recovered well and has been brave enough to [...]

How could this be possible, you might ask? Now, don’t get me wrong – I love my hubby and I love to share nearly everything with him. But he is being much too generous lately, and has passed his germy bugs right on to me. Not only have I never had a cold in the [...]

In a flash of Jerry-inspired hype, we purchased two awesome Trek bicycles fromThe Bike Store and the guys rocked – they built our bikes in record time, included deals on helmets, water bottles, future services, info on group rides, the works – even a sweet little bell to make my bike complete! We found this [...]

Since we just celebrated our second anniversary, I put together a video of our honeymoon photos — finally! — featuring “Doin’ Everything with You,” by Chuck Mangione. Happy anniversary, babe. Enjoy!

Made it home safe and sound, pulling into the driveway around 3:00 pm. We shared the driving duties, traded off iPod time, and traveled under a cloudy gray sky for the entire 350 miles home. That type of icky weather made it a tiny bit easier to leave Florida behind, but already I am accosted [...]

I set our alarm to go off early so I could run down for one last visit with the beach, weather permitting. Of course the sun was shining brightly since it was our last day in Siesta Key, but I couldn’t feel too betrayed since it also meant I could squeeze in one more hour [...]

Anniversary Day! Our anniversary started off with a fantastic breakfast of eggs benedict at First Watch, my first visit to Whole Foods, and some shopping in downtown Sarasota – used books for J and special anniversary earrings for me – our tradition. We drove through St. Armand’s Circle, but it wasn’t as easy to appreciate [...]

Huge storm rolled through around 4:00 am and woke us, but it’s fury passed quickly and we were able to sleep in until Starbucks called and wanted us to donate to their cause. And we did. Mmm, caffeine. After a lazy morning, we decided to hit the beach and got all suited up only to [...]

(To catch anyone up to speed who doesn’t already know, J and I are celebrating our second wedding anniversary in Siesta Key, FL.) Loooong drive for us both, due to my lack of sleep and the fact that J’s drive actually started in TN, making it a 12-hour trip. Still, we enjoyed the ride, shared [...]
