Since I moved to Boston in 2003, I've happily lived in the city without a car. If you don't live in the city, you may find that hard to believe. But, I've never really needed a car as I've relied on walking, public transportation, cabs, the kindness of friends and family, and more recently, Zipcar. But, as there have been some major changes in our life (including an actual commute to work for me), we decided to finally buy a car.
We started our search just a week ago...and after some deliberation and discussion, we bought a car! I'd like to introduce our adorable brand spanking new Honda Fit!
We haven't decided on a name for the car. I'm leaning towards Jane Fonda...you know, because it is "fit", but Bret rolls his eyes whenever I bring it up!
We're looking forward to a lot of fun day trips this summer, so I'd love to hear some of your local day trip suggestions!

Celebrations at the Four Seasons Hotel
While Bret certainly appreciated the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies, I wanted to plan something truly special to help celebrate my new job and to thank Bret for being helping me get to this important decision in my career. I initially wanted to plan a quick weekend getaway but our schedules are so jam-packed that it seemed impossible. Instead, I reached out to Lei-Ann Fields at the Four Seasons Hotel and she graciously helped me plan a wonderful celebratory stay-cation this past weekend.
I gave Bret vague hints about a surprise date on Saturday and I think I convinced him that we were going sailing. So you can imagine his surprise when I told him to pack an overnight bag for a special evening at the Four Seasons!
When we were escorted to our Executive Garden-View Suite, there were some kind notes from the management at the Four Seasons along with some complimentary treats!
With a glass of champagne, Bret and I spent the next twenty-four hours enjoying our relaxing stay with a dip in the pool and whirlpool, dinner in the South End, late-night cocktails at the Bristol Lounge (along with some delightful complimentary pork belly treats from the chef), followed by Sunday brunch at the Bristol Lounge...and finally a ride home from the hotel car service.
Thank you to Lei-Ann and the rest of the staff for making this a memorable stay. The Four Seasons Hotel was thoughtful in every detail to make us feel so special and welcome, and our stay was the perfect way to celebrate new beginnings.
The Four Seasons Hotel is located at 200 Boylston Street, Boston, MA.

Fun and Fearless Celebrations
January is always one of my favorite months. Between ringing in the new year with great friends to a birthday weekend in Portland, there are so many reasons to celebrate during the month of January. Last night was no exception and I danced my butt off to some fabulous 80's music at 6B Lounge to celebrate my friend Karen's birthday!
Here are a few photos from last night:
And the celebrations continue as Bret and I celebrate our three year anniversary today. After all these years, I still feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world. And sometimes a photo like this one from last night says it all...
What have you been celebrating lately?
