Mother’s Day in MD

Personal

I spent last weekend with my mom for mother’s day and thought I’d share some pictures from my time there. She lives in historic little Berlin, Maryland which is right outside of Ocean City, MD.

My mom has quite a green thumb and spends all of her free time in her glorious garden. She can tell you all about everything in there too. And it’s this ever changing thing – she is constantly replanting this and that. She tells me it’s already changed since I took these pics. Take a look…







We went into OC for a day to check out Springfest and the boardwalk. I was a complete glutton, eating my way through boardwalk fries with vinegar, ice cream, and an apple pie caramel apple. Ah, beach food…







It’s pretty awesome to have a mom who lives at the beach. I’ve been so far away the past few years that I haven’t been able to make good use of it. But you’d better believe that I’ll be there a lot more this summer now that I’m on the east coast!

“More than any other, this boardwalk brings back that exhilarating teenage sense of summer-vacation freedom and possibility. Throbbing with energy day and night, fueled by Thrasher’s fries soaked in vinegar (a true delicacy), the ‘walk’ features cool reversible benches that flip back and forth, depending on whether you want to gaze at the Atlantic Ocean or the passing parade along the boardwalk itself.”

I’d say my date went well
Sadly, we did not get the same table that we had last year for our anniversary dinner last night.Fortunately, the food and conversation were just as good. Instead of grilling each other about everything under the moon like last time, we had a more pointed discussion: a wedding.I have an incredible fiancé and I’m currently wearing the most spectacular ring I’ve ever seen! Ahhhh!"Will you marry me?"~ Andy

Wedding season is upon us! May is officially my busiest month this year and for good reason – everything is lush and green. My daffodils are gone but irises are coming out and the whole area just breathes. Hopefully we’ll have more than a handful of days of that spring perfection before balmy summer comes along. And my couples hope so too. You’ll be seeing some incredible weddings and engagement sessions this season – I’ve got them all over Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey. And that’s only in the next two months!I’m starting this month strong at the Broad Street Run. Are you going? Perhaps you’ll see me there ...

I Ran to Stop MS
Yesterday I ran the first race of my life – Philadelphia's half marathon. It was completely exhilarating. The crowds were awesome and my mix totally kept me going. I was singing (or at least mouthing the words) through most of the run. The end result is one small blister and a whole lotta pride. I can't wait to do it again. Maybe a marathon; who knows?My time was 1:51:53! I ran it in under 2 hours (a secret goal).I want to thank the following people for donating to stop MS, a cause that is very close to my heart.Julie & Coye CheshireTim MahoneyKaren & Paul HarrisRich WhiteLauren HancockLiz BrennanLinda DemmlerEllie & Ali Ja ...
