stumbling through the good parts

so, WE'RE MOVING! still within the confines of albany, but... moving nonetheless. the specs of the new digs is 3 bedrooms, hardwood floors, a balcony patio and a fireplace in my ROOM. some of the best parts? i get an office! (although, i and p keep calling it my craft room. apparently we'll be running a basket weaving shop right from the comfort of our home.) there are three or so more exciting aspects of the move.  1. we get to move in with our good friend peter. pete's great. he loves fresh foods, is quick witted and i get to add another person to the "morning person" team.  2. WE GET TO GET A DOG. it's such a dream to actually find a NICE place that will actually allow us to own a dog. i didn't think such a place existed in Albany.  3. it's in a really nice neighborhood. it's down by a different part of downtown Albany that opens up so many more local places for us to frequent. you can expect for instagrams from places like mcgeary's, the vi

j and i got a chance to get away to the white mountains of new hampshire this weekend for our first outdoor climbing trip of the season!  we couldn't have asked for a better weekend for it.  the weather was perfect and there was just the right amount of crowds where we met some new people but weren't waiting in line for the next climb.  it feel so good to spend so much time in the sunshine.  i'm already excited for our next trip!  i was able to take a few snaps in-between climbs and through the course of the weekend.  hopefully, we'll be able to make the trip back sometime soon!
