Also has anyone been watching LOST- oh my goodness, Its just crazy!! When kate said “Aaron” at the end of the last episode I was shocked!! hehe
ok enough of my TV recap.

Ohhh Wait one more thing about TV. The episode of Wife Swap that kev’s work is part of and hopefully kev is on is GOING TO AIR ON MARCH 5TH on ABC so check your local listings. I hope kev is on there. Def. Lawerence will be on there -the creative director at kevs work.

I have to say that I love fonduing(sp?) its so much fun!!!

We have actually been looking at alot of houses lately. We are considering other options as far as buying goes. We went to a bunch of open houses last weekend and will be going to others this weekend. We are going to see a house which I am so so excited about on friday. I hope its beautiful!!

here are some pictures from the other night…

So, It was erin’s birthday on monday and because mike was sick I was able to go see the Foo Fighters in Worcester with her, Nikki and Jay. If I haven’t mentioned it already I may love Dave Grohl- hehe
IT WAS AWESOME!!! I took some videos here they are… Photos to come next post

So can you believe that a year has past from when i made you all guess what kev got me for valentines day. Remember it was our hawaii cats Big Surf and Kamehameha. (we got mail for them the other day- 2 letters addressed to big surf richardson and kamehameha richardson, it was from the vet) Anyways so another valentines is here and this year we decided to just make things for each other. I made kev a Chess set from clay which i fired and glazed all the pieces and then cut and painted the board from a piece of wood. It came out so awesome. Not to toot my own horn but i think it came out really great. It was the first thing I ever fired and glazed before. We really like playing chess together. NOW kev made me… MY OWN WEBSITE!!! crazy huh?? He knows that i want to start getting my own art shows and he wanted to create me a website that I could send to galleries to see my stuff. It has just a few pictures right now but it will have more artwork soon and alittle more content. Its so awesome. I love it.

Anyways, I had mentioned that I wanted to go to the restaurant The Melting Pot. Well, that place is just to packed. I can never ever get a reservation. So with an idea from Laura i decided to make our own melting pot for valentines day! It was so so fun. i bought a fondue pot from target and got this great white wine recipe to cook our main course. I had chicken, steak, zucchini, cauilflower, peppers, potatos to cook in the sauce. It was so delicious and it was such a fun dinner- we loved it!! And then of course for dessert we had chocolate fondue with strawberries, apples, pineapple and poundcake. Mmmm way better than going to a restaurant.

Here are some pictures of course…

this is our attempt to get a nice picture

so the other week me and kev decided one thursday night that we would make the 2 hour drive out to providence to go see Deertick and Manchester Orchestra play at the living room. I think i already wrote this in a post but here are some pictures.
They guy from deertick looks just like… you guessed it Macaulay Culkin

So i got to go visit laura and family the other weekend and it was so great to see them. Laura is of course amazing and the baby is just perfect!!! I wish we lived closer so we got to hang out more. As much as i love to go and see them I have to say that out of all the places i have lived I feel the least nostalgic about long island. I kinda hate the island (no offense laura) Dont get me wrong there are some great things and places about it but they seem few and far between. I mean when you cant even go see a movie and get dinner on a sat. night because everything is booked and sold out- its alittle crazy!! But any trip there is worth it because i get to see laura.

So I guess i havent posted anything in a while- its not that nothing has been going on but because we have been busy and I guess i have just become lazy. Anyways to make up for not having any pictures to post I will be filling this post with links. I got the idea from our friend eric who always fills his post with very interesting links. Although this will not compare I will try my best.
So I have been really really into cooking lately. I mean ever since we got married I have been but lately I have been all about trying new reciepes and I really just love making dinner for kev. Its something I enjoy. Last week I made him one of his favorites Chicken Cordon Bleu This is not the reciepe I used but in case you didnt know what it was. Anyways, I hate it because I hate ham, but kev loved it. My favorite thing i have made lately is I grilled porkcops the other night with some baked butternut squash with brown sugar and cinnamon on top with cut up green apples baked in all that goo as it melted down inthe the pocket of the butternut squash. It was so good. With some long grain rice.

anyways as i am typing this I just heard a student in Nicole’s (The other art teacher) class ask the another student it she had a thinking cap if she would wear it. Now that is a great question.

Lets move forward…
So if we havent told you already Me and kev have applied for our home loan and are hopefully buying our first place. We have a deposit down on this loft style condo that is being built in an old antique mill . The pictures in that link are of the 1 and 2 bedroom units we are actually buying one of the artist lofts with the open floor plan. It should be around 1800 sq. ft. We are very excited and hope all goes as planned.

We have been going to the gym alot lately. I have been taking a couple spinning classes a week. I really like it alot.

We have found a few awesome restaurants out here. There is this pizza place that we love that is all hawaiian/surf decorated. They make this awesome pineapple pizza called the Hawaii 5-0. Then there is this other restaurant that we love. Everything that they cook is from local farms. It has great atmostphere and the food is awesome. THey also have this great fire place inside. Kev loves the design of the place so much.

we also have started going to this great church in Troy, NY its like 50 mins from us, but its so worth it. We love it. There is this really awesome brewery next door that we eat at afterwards. They have great food and an awesome Cherry Rasberry Beer.

This past weekend was the opening of the 22nd annual Berkshire county high art show at the Norman Rockwell Museum. It was really fun. The kids all loved it and the artwork was really good. The Richardsons made the trek out here for the day and came with us. It was great to have them here with us. Right now the Rockwell Museum has this awesome awesome grahic novel exhibit up. Its so good- we have seen it twice now and I know we’ll go back before it comes down. 2 graphic artists gave a talk at the opening- they were great. They live in worcester and are currently working on a batman comic for dc comics that is set in 1939 and is based off the pulp magazines of that time period. It looks awesome.

So valentines day is next week and me and kev are making presents for each other as we usually do. Anyways I am making something sweet I am very excited. We are going to dinner at The Melting Pot . I am very excited!!!

ok I guess thats it for now.
oh yeah we went to a show the other night in providence (long drive but worth it) to see Deertick and manchester Orchester. Both were awesome!!! Deertick was so so good. I love them thanks to amy and john. SO GOOD!!
