Welcome

For years, I've found myself in ridiculous situations...and, now, you'll hear all about them.

2017: A Retrospective

2017. That was fun.

Here are just a few of the things that I did this past year...
  • Became an ordained minister, and successfully married two of my best friends off to men named Brian.
  • Attended four weddings. Congratulations to Brian & Cindy, Darrell & Jessie, John & Pam, and Brian & Nikki.
  • Reignited my love of reading and libraries, reading 14 books with paper pages. 
  • Drank 88 unique beers.
  • Was reminded yet again that alcohol and ice cream don't mix well. 
  • Went to the gym 66 times. 
  • Walked in a parade. 
  • Met a camel in Kennedy Plaza.
  • Witnessed the Fenway faithful hug it out with a diehard Cubs fan.
  • Watched a ball game from the berm at McCoy.
  • Paid money to see Andy Cohen (and Anderson Cooper) only to run into him in Beantown months later for free. 
  • Finally mastered a Paint Night photo.
  • Walked in memory of Jimmy and Susan in the AHA Heart Walk. 
  • Took on some additional work responsibilities, and received a promotion. 
  • Watched Billy Idol perform from a hot air balloon within Petco Park; and NKOTB, Boyz II Men, and Paula Abdul at Fenway. 
  • Volunteered in the community with work colleagues, friends, and family. 
  • Cut soda and some people out of my life, which have both shown good results for my well-being. 
  • Ate the most delicious lobster roll in Rhode Island. 
  • Captured a perfect rainbow spanning over Providence. 
  • Crossed "visit Chicago" off my travel bucket list. 
But, most importantly...
  • Met the love of my life. 
  • Met the two loves of his life, which formed a pretty perfect little family, if you ask me. 
  • Mastered making elementary school lunches. 
  • Have undergone a name transformation. I will forever be known as Miss Trish, and I love it. 
  • Simultaneously rolled my eyes and laughed harder than I ever have before. 
  • Introduced talking about our favorite and least favorite part of the day every evening.
  • ...and so much more. 

If 2017 it's any indication of what 2018 will be like, "yahoo!"

Happy 2018! Cheers!
