Since we had our wedding on the east coast we decided to also host an event on the west coast for friends here, many of whom couldn’t make it across the country for the wedding itself. It took some time to plan, but last Saturday we finally had our event! We ended up going with […]

Matti’s Wedding in Boston
July 31st, 2013 by pleia2
MJ and I spent this past weekend in Boston, Massachusetts to attend the wedding of MJ’s friend Matti, who was his Best Women at our wedding back in April. Since I was tied up with OSCON, MJ flew in a day earlier than me to settle in and meet up with Matti and some other […]
Tea, to do lists and books
June 23rd, 2013 by pleia2
We have had a lot of stuff to work on at home lately. The most fun has been integrating our new wedding gifts into our small kitchen, which is somewhat challenging but I’m really happy to finally own a nice set of knives and pots. I’ve also been using the bread maker almost weekly to […]
My past month of warriors, bread and a baby giraffe
June 12th, 2013 by pleia2
Since returning from the honeymoon a month ago our lives have continued to be very busy, catching up with work and projects while we were gone and catching up with all other life stuff we postponed while we were preparing for the wedding. Because we have been so overwhelmed, I gave Instacart a try and […]
Our wedding!
May 15th, 2013 by pleia2
On Sunday April 28th MJ and I were married! The day began gathering with mothers, my aunt and the bridesmaids in the bridal suite of the Joseph Ambler Inn where we and most of our out of town guests stayed.

In Philly for the wedding! Also, books and birds…
April 24th, 2013 by pleia2
Today MJ and I left for Philadelphia to prepare for our wedding on Sunday! We’ve spent months planning for it, I’m sure it’ll be awesome, I’m really excited. On Tuesday we’re flying to the Yucatan Peninsula to spend 7 days on a beach, and then another 5 days exploring Mayan ruins all over the peninsula. […]
Tiger ears, camera and the 162
April 20th, 2013 by pleia2
Finalizing wedding things has been exhausting, but I have managed to get out of the house some these past few weeks. MJ was traveling a couple weekends ago and I took the opportunity to head over to the zoo to relax. Fortunately the tiger cub was out playing! …if you look closely, you can see […]
Catching up and a tiger cub
March 30th, 2013 by pleia2
I’ve had a busy month, but not in the “exciting adventures” way, more in the “doing lots of grown up stuff” way that is less blog-worthy. I’m still spending a ton of time learning new things at my new job, MJ and I have been spending a majority of our time together lately working on […]

Nexus 10, various meetings and life things
March 15th, 2013 by pleia2
I’ve had a very catch-up couple of weeks. MJ had a friend in town last week, so most nights they were out leaving me to my own devices. And devices are what I had! Last Wednesday I received my Nexus 10. This is my first tablet (welcome to 2012!). Aside from the expense, my reluctance […]
Solitary weekend
March 3rd, 2013 by pleia2
This past week was a tough one. I was ridiculously busy catching up with project work that has piled up while I was sick and then traveling. I had a few doses of disappointing personal news that really knocked me down energy-wise. I’m also seeking to handle some of the unsettling confirmed and proposed changes […]
