Deep Sea Fishing (Bachelor party)

Category: Friends, Travel — Michael @ 11:01 pm

This past Saturday my friends took me out deep sea fishing off the coast of Newburyport for my bachelor party. This was my first time deep sea fishing. While we didn’t catch a lot of fish, we had a great time with beautiful weather and I was happy to spend the day with all of my good friends. I really appreciate the great time out with all of them, not to mention the friendship I’ve enjoyed (and will continue to enjoy!) with all of them over the years. Now I get to join the “married guy” club with all of them.

Here’s a few shots of the day, but check out all the pictures in this photo album.

Last weekend Revel drove me around some of the bogs she works on. It’s definately some beautiful land. We also had a chance to stop and take a few fun pics, so here are a few good ones:

The Bachelorette Tea Time

Category: Wedding — Revel @ 6:41 pm
My girlfriends surprised me with a lovely high-tea Bachelorette party at the Concord Inn. We enjoyed endless pots of gourmet tea and goodies. I so enjoyed just hanging out with the girls and relaxing. Here are a few pictures:

One more month

Category: Wedding — Michael @ 8:03 pm

It seemed like a long way off back in Feb when I proposed to Revel, but we are now just one month away from the wedding! Everything is going well with the planning. Yesterday we met with the Photographer/Videographer and they really liked the Ceremony/Reception locations. Revel is on top of everything and making sure I do my part, so I have no doubts it will come together well on our day.

Beautiful morning in the cranberry bog

We had a beautiful morning in the cranberry bog (right in front of Revel’s house), so I caught a few pictures of the fog and sunrise.

Visit to Jamestown

Category: Travel — Michael @ 2:27 pm

Revel and I went out to Jamestown, RI last weekend. When we left, we were worried that we would get rained out, but we had just enough nice weather to have a great time on the rocks looking out at the ocean. There were lots of sailboats out enjoying the strong winds.

Tasha and Daisy had a great time as well and were well worn out after our hike.

Blogging from my iPhone

Category: Technology — Michael @ 11:15 am

This is my first post from my iPhone. I just downloaded the Wordpress app for my phone and I’m loving it! I’m such a geek. :)

I took a picture of my fish with the phone. Let’s see how it comes out.

Christine and Ricardo’s Wedding

Category: Travel — Michael @ 3:42 pm

Revel and I went down to South Carolina back at the end of June for my sister Christine’s wedding. It was also a chance for Revel to meet my two brothers, Daniel (lives in Switzerland) and Philip (lives in Tokyo, Japan). We had a great time down there and Christine and Ricardo’s wedding was great. Here are some pictures from our trip and the wedding.

You are now free to move about the world (again!)

Category: Travel — Michael @ 4:04 pm

As Revel mentioned in the previous post, I recently (last year) became a US citizen. After becoming Naturalized last year, I needed to get a passport. So after some procrastinating, I finally applied. Less then two weeks later, I have my passport! (that’s fast!) So I am once again free to travel the world.
