Valley Forge with Ash 2006

Kevin and I went to visit Ash this weekend. She took us to sightsee at Valley Forge before we headed into Philadelphia together. It was awesome.

Philadelphia for MLA 2006

Kevin and I stayed in New York Thursday and drove to Philly for the Modern Language Association Convention. It was at the Philadelphia Convention Center. Kevin went to some MLA events, and we took a break at a nearby gelato shop. After the MLA we headed to Ash's place in Phoenixville.

Rockefeller Christmas Tree 2006

Kevin came to pick me up from Ramsey and we spent the day in New York City. We got a picture at the Rockefeller Plaza Christmas Tree and walked around taking in all the Christmas decorations. Kevin also asked me about living together next school year.

Christmastime 2006

I decorated my apartment for Christmas and Kevin and I got a little tree to decorate here. I thought just a little tree would do the trick- and I love its miniature charm.

Feeling Christmasy

Uh-oh Santa!

Making a wreath a blaze of craftiness

Did it!
