“Anon, to sudden silence won,
In fancy they pursue
The dream-child moving through a land
Of wonders wild and new,
In friendly chat with bird or beast—
And half believe it true.”

Downhill Skiing

Nestled into NH's White Mountains, right down the road from the famous Mount Washington, is Wildcat Mountain. With a summit of 4,000 ft and over 2,100 verticle feet of trails & terrain there is plenty of room for downhill skiing fun!


I've had the opportunity to ski many of NH's resorts and Wildcat fits right in with the White Mountain standards. Tons of fresh, powdered snow and a nice mix of easy, moderate and expert trails. It was so exhilerating and fun to be flying down the mountain on a pair of skis.


We spent the entire day exploring Wildcat's trails and terrain. This was only the second time the Future Hubs' has been on skis and I'm impressed with how well did! By the end of the day we were pooped!




After skiing we took a dip in the hot tub at our Inn, had a nice dinner at the Red Parka Pub in Glen, NH and then headed back to our hotel to hang out at the bar. We listened to oldies tunes from the live band and indulged in a chocolate brownie dessert.


The next day we took the scenic route home, stopping in some of NH's cutest little mountain towns like Jackson, N. Conway, Conway and taking a scenic ride on the Kangamangus Highway.


We've got more snow coming this week and that means much more skiing will be done this winter!

What The Fug?!

Friday is upon us again lovelies and I could not be happier.
I thought I would get lucky with a snow day but alas, only a 3 hour delay so I braved the storm and dragged myself to work.

I didn't do any extensive online "window" shopping this week so I asked Kinsey for ideas on where to find some uglies and she suggested TopShop and boy did I hit the jackpot. I could probably use TopShop for every WTF?! for the rest of the year!

But I chose this Maxi dress.
If someone could explain to me why on earth anyone would want to wear this, I am all ears.


I can't even fathom how you could wash such an item. Bathing suit cover up? maybe, but there are much cuter ways.

If any of you would wear this please speak up, and also send photos.

Happy Friday!

Save The Date

Now that they have reached our friends & family, I thought I would share our Save The Dates with you all!

We went with a magnet becuase we thought they were fun and a great way for people to keep them hanging around. They'll also be a great keepsake for our family, friends and us!

{our last names are blacked out}

We used the engagement pics we took on our apple orchard photoshoot back in October. I think they came out great and the response from our friends & family was overwhelmingly positive.

We ordered these from Wedding Paper Divas, the same place we ordered our engagement party invites. Unfortunately the first batch they sent were all wrong and we had to wait for a new batch to be printed up but we're happy with the end result.

226 days left
But who's counting?
;)
