One Year Anniversary!!

Posted on April 14, 2013 by Ali

Hot Off The Dress is officially one year old today!

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the passage of time. This weekend, Miek and I traveled to beautiful Cohasset, MA to attend the wedding of one of my college friends. Even though it has been 5 years since Bates, everything fell right back into place. Dancing the night away, we might as well have been under the yellow sodium lights on the library terrace.

As my friends said their vows on the dock, with the Atlantic lapping at the shore, I thought about my parents home in Maine. They were married exactly 28 years ago! 28! What an accomplishment!

Below are a collection of photos to celebrate the blog’s one year anniversary, and to document the little snapshots of life in the midst of this great, big, passage of time.

Furry Friends

Posted on April 27, 2012 by Ali

I’ve had a lot of pets in my 25 years. Yarmouth the cat was my first – a big Maine Coon tomcat that my dad got my for mom at the Yarmouth Clam Festival when they were dating. Yarmouth liked to eat donuts and potato chips, spoke to us and was NOT afraid of dogs.

When I was small, my parents let me have rabbits, hamsters, birds, a dog, many many cats, a crayfish (yes, a little mini lobster) to name a few. I love animals. I love how loyal and sweet they can be.

Now I have three of my own, two cats and a dog. My boyfriend has two big goldendoodles. A handful, yes, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.
