Today, while arts festing, Nick and I stopped to take a break in the shade with our big bag of kettle korn. Just as we were getting ready to leave, an elderly couple approached us to take our bench. The gentleman complimented me on my blue eyes and asked us if we “go together.” “Yes,” [...]
Audrey Hepburn once said, “If I get married, I want to be very married.” Nicholas James, I can’t wait to very marry you in 52 days!
Nick planned a little getaway after the race! He’s not very good at keeping secrets, and he let it slip that we were going to a bed and breakfast, although I didn’t know where until we pulled up in front of Shining Dawn in Hanover. It looked like a castle! It was built in 1902 [...]
Race day! After 12 weeks of training, a Friday night pasta dinner, and a solid 5 1/2 hours of sleep, Nick and I were up and out of bed at 5:45 a.m. on Saturday. We fueled our bodies with bagels and peanut butter, bananas, a few bites of a Clif Bar, and lots of water. [...]
Tonight Nick asked if he could use the Gocco to make a gift to thank the groomsmen for taking him to the Outer Banks. I have no doubt that I’m marryng the perfect man for me!

I made a list of 24 reasons why I love Nicholas James and mailed it to him. (24 reasons represents the 24 months we’ve been together — I could have listed many more!) You sing in the shower, and you don’t care who hears you. You’re going to run a half marathon with me even [...]
I walked into Nick’s lab two years ago on April 6th. Because it fell on a Monday this year, we waited until Friday to celebrate our “meetaversary.” Nick surprised me with a fun springtime pot of cala lilies, and we had dinner at the Gamble Mill Inn — a place we’ve been wanting to try [...]
Not only is Nick living with the wrong Rowlands right now, apparently he’s going on dates with him, too! Last week my fiance and my brother had dinner at a German restaurant in Manhattan and went to the Rangers game afterwards. Here is one of the text messages I received that night: Looks like they [...]
“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” –Nora Ephron, When Harry Met Sally Five months to go until the rest of my life begins, and it’s all I can think about. I dream about our [...]
