This weekend, Rod and I had absolutely no plans at all. It was Rob’s birthday on Saturday so I left it up to him what we would do. On Saturday, I had made plans with his parents to go out to dinner but Rob decided he wanted to stay in and cook dinner himself. He […]
NYC For a Day
I went to New York City yesterday to hang out with a friend! I met Missy in college, a fellow physics major, and she was a bridesmaid at my wedding. She lives in Texas now so we don’t get to see each other often. Her and another friend were in NYC for a week long […]
Back in New Jersey
Hello! It’s been a while! Well, the good news is that is going to change for a while. You see, I was running myself ragged at the new job. I had zero free time and zero energy. It became mutually evident though that it was time to part ways and I’m back home in New […]
