WOW It Has Been Awhile!

I’ve been MIA from this little corner of the Internet! This summer was gobbled up by studying for my insurance license, attending training sessions, traveling for business, and helping my parents move back to Portland.

It’s already autumn! So far, we have already been apple picking, I turned 27 and we are in the throes of getting ready to celebrate the engagement of Erik and Cecelia this weekend. So many good things!

Here’s a sampling of iPhone snaps to fill in the blanks.

One Year Anniversary!!

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.
