Hello friends! This blog was written on July 19, 2024 as we were getting our engine worked on. Due to our WiFi being disconnected, and a very busy weekend, it was not posted on time. So here it is, days later. But better late than never! . . . And so, the engine saga continues.Continue reading “The Engine That Could”

Goedenavond from the Netherlands!
Goedenavond (good evening in Dutch) from Utrecht, Netherlands! I missed my Tuesday post, but better late than never, right? While looking back on this trip (and others we’ve taken recently), I’ve realized that not all trips have to be these big sight seeing adventures. I’ve talked to people recently that are like “Oh, what areContinue reading “Goedenavond from the Netherlands!”
Bonjour!
Hello from Paris! That’s right, after only a week of being back on the East coast, we left again for Europe. Are we nuts? Maybe, but at least we’re in Paris. Steve has a conference starting tomorrow, and on Saturday we will be traveling to the Netherlands to check out lots of different places. ButContinue reading “Bonjour!”
Another Year Older
It’s my 26th birthday, and I’ve decided to start writing again. Will it be hard to get back into the hang of things? Yes. Am I going to do it anyway? Absolutely. Year 25 was probably one of the best and hardest years of my life. So much happened, and so much of it wasContinue reading “Another Year Older”
Let the Light In
Happy Tuesday, readers! I have some fun news! We are BACK in Norfolk. Well, at least the boat is. On a whim last Thursday evening, after having my parents over for dinner at the cabin, Steve checked the weather for Saturday. It was perfect for sailing. The wind was good, it was coming from theContinue reading “Let the Light In”
The Cookes Are Back!
Hello dear readers, are you still out there? It’s been months since I’ve written anything other than work-related stuff, besides my vows, so here I am- a little rusty, but I’m back! Did you see how I just threw “vows” in there all casual-like? That’s right! A month ago yesterday, Steve and I said “IContinue reading “The Cookes Are Back!”
We’re Back!
Wowza! It’s been a while since I wrote a blog. Honestly, I’ve missed writing these. These blogs always seem to bring me back to myself. Writing does that for me. The thing is though, I’ve had a hard time getting into it again. I am on my computer all day for work, writing technical documentation,Continue reading “We’re Back!”
A Very Greek Adventure
Hello friends! Long time no blog! First, I’d like to say that I do not regret not writing our weekly blog while in Greece. I was too busy enjoying our time there and totally off schedule to remember to have it done by 5pm Eastern Time. So, to make up for lost time, this blogContinue reading “A Very Greek Adventure”
We’re in Greece!
Hello, dear readers! We have made it to Greece and I am sitting in our hotel room, writing this blog, as we fight jet lag and hope for beautiful days ahead. Our travel days went well. We took the train to NYC on Sunday, flew out of JFK on Monday, and arrived at 9:30am inContinue reading “We’re in Greece!”
Sailing Into Our Engagement
Happy week, readers! This one is a bit different than our normal blogs, because it’s the story of our ENGAGEMENT! That’s right! You read that correctly. We are engaged! Here’s the low down on how Steve proposed, if I was expecting it, the pictures, and Buoy’s reaction (or lack thereof). Okay so, let’s be honest,Continue reading “Sailing Into Our Engagement”
