Happy Birthday To Sam

Sam turned 21 today! Hapy Birthday Sammy. We can't wait to see you soon!

Meeting The Man Of Her Dreams

My mom met George W. the other day at an event with Mitt Romney. My dad told him of my mom's adoration. He kissed her on the forehead, she went back to her table, cried and she compared it to meeting Jesus. She really is his biggest fan and has always adored him. It is important to support the President of our Country, even if you don't agree with him.

My mom and dad both said he was eloquent and funny. My mom has said multiple times that one day people will realize all of the good things W has done for the country. Anyway George, The Cannons support you and your decisions! Thanks for keeping us safe!

Gooble Gobble

What's the weirdest, scariest and most fascinating this ever?

Freaks... and this clip! Ooh... it gives me chills. This group of people is my worst nightmare!

Nate is constantly getting mad at me for staring at freaks. There are just so many people I don't understand. I really don't understand how they were raised and why they act the way they do.

There are a couple of freaks at the gym I workout in. There is one girl with big foofy hair that she flattens out. She wears one of two outfits:

normal bra, short, stretched out white tank top and gray pants that say "Wahoo!"
or
normal bra, short, stretched out white tank top and gray pants that say "Virginia!"

Obviously, her clothes don't make her slightly off... maybe it's the fact she wears creepy makeup and never smiles... or maybe it's because of the way she folds her little newspaper and sits on the treadmill for 2 hours EVERY night, no incline, at an incredibly slow pace... UH, it just bothers me!

And don't even get me started on the people who talk to themselves (out-loud, in public.)

I guess we're all sort of freaks in our own way.
And for the most part, they're really entertaining.

Memorial Weekend on the Cape

We were VERY lucky to be able to spend Memorial Weekend on Cape Cod. We had such a great time there. On Sunday, we biked around Martha's Vineyard and enjoyed yummy food at Black Dog. It was perfect weather and it was a great group! Chet came in for the weekend and we laughed a lot while he was around.

So... now I know where another holiday will be spent:

New Years... just a nice dinner and dancing anywhere
Valentines... somewhere in Europe
Memorial Day... Cape Cod
4th of July.... Utah
My Birthday... Disneyland (at least this year!)
Halloween... Beacon Hill
Thanksgiving... New York
Christmas... in England, at the cottage in The Holiday or at the elementary school in Love Actually, with the Prime Minister

Let's Go Red Sox...

Nate and I were very excited when Spencer and Jenny offered us Sox tickets! We knew it would be the last one we would get to go to in a long time...

We enjoyed the freshest Fenway Franks! I was immediately inspired to call my dad and make sure we could have hot dogs at my wedding!

Fenway Park is such a great, historical place. The people are wild and the walk home is almost as entertaining as the game...

What has Nate really been up to!

California Dreamin'

So... WONDERFUL NEWS!! Nate got a job! In Los Angeles!

I am so excited for him. And I know he is thrilled too. I am having a hard time thinking about leaving Boston. Nate and I both are... but every time we feel that cold gust of wind, or see a rat in the North End or can't find a good, late night place to eat... Nate begins singing

California Dreamin....

I chime in

Cal-I-Fornia Dreamin... on such a winters day...

You know... the mamas and papas song!

But how could I be sad to move to such a gorgeous place?






It's not that LA is awful, but we have paid our dues this winter in Boston!!! I have endured some serious cold weather and painful walks along the waterfront and now, just as the yachts are pulling into the harbor and the sun is shining and Newbury is screaming my name, I have to leave?? I'm excited for Nate. He takes off in a week and a half and I know this will so great for both of us. But I will really, really miss Boston. I just hope we end up here eventually... oh well, we will have to see!
