It's just a little embarrassing how infrequently I post around here. Actually, I'd say that's one of the reasons I post so little, because I'm so embarrassed about how long it's been! But alas. Here comes fresh information from Connecticut.
I thought I should take a post to formally introduce my (small, yet strangely faithful) blog following to my dear boyfriend, Adam. We've been dating almost eight months now (which is practically nine). What words ensue will I'm sure be a less than perfect picture of someone who has turned out to be more than perfect for me.
Adam is originally from the Mansfield, Ohio area and has been living here in Stamford, Connecticut (just about 20 minutes up I-95 from me in Greenwich) for the past two years. He works for Alliance Bernstein in the Mortgage department, but will be transferring into the Derivatives and Swaps department in the next few weeks. That transfer will require him to work in Manhattan five days a week. I have no idea what derivatives or swaps mean, and I didn't have a firm grasp on the mortgage position either. But people who actually know better always ask me, so I included it. Hopefully he won't read it and be embarrassed again by my ignorance of all things pertaining to numbers.
This is Adam pretending to be co-pilot for our friend Rick who is an actual pilot. One time I went up with them....after that, I decided it could be their "special thing" together and I would stick to commercial flights.
This is a picture from the weekend of his cousin's wedding in Annapolis.
Another picture from that wedding...
This is the weekend that my parents surprised me by coming to CT for my birthday!!
Adam and I have lots and lots of fun together. We love taking the train into the city and just hanging out at the park. On Sundays, we are all together for church and lunch and then Alie, Rick, Adam and myself head to the Salvation Army where we volunteer at Kid's Church. It's always the highlight of my week to hang out with all those kids and teach them about Jesus! Plus, we're like celebrities when we walk in the door, which is a weekly ego boost.
Like I knew they would, my words are failing to paint the picture that I wanted you to see of Adam. Hopefully the photographs speak for themselves to tell you that even though I miss my friends and family, I have a little bit of home here in Connecticut with Adam.
This just in: I met Jennifer Connelly in Starbucks last Friday! She was with her son and she wrote on my Starbucks cup: "To Lauren, All the best, Jennifer Connelly". She was lovely and polite and now I've met an Oscar winner.
Know that I love and miss you all...please don't give up on me or my page! I'm here to connect YOU with Connecticut!!
