Josh and I have been preoccupied with our new jobs. Its been one month since we moved to New Haven and we are still trying to get ourselves settled in. This hasn't been easy because I have been traveling to conferences on behalf of UVM's Office of Sustainability and recently returned from Raleigh, NC after attending the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education conference. As soon as I returned to work the next day, we went straight into working with Rocky Mountain Institute on their research project involving case studies of campus sustainability. I have a workshop to attend on green purchasing before heading to Boston to the USGBC's GreenBuild Conference in the next couple of days. This traveling, along with fitting in time to do my coursework for Harvard and getting time to spend with Josh, is making me road weary and put things on hold. I have a lot ahead of me with my work at UVM and so I am convinced that simplifying wedding plans is key to keeping my sanity.
We have been preparing for the winter and were happy to get two full cords of kiln dried firewood from a local company in Bristol. Josh and I stacked wood for many hours and now starting to burn it in our woodstove. The start of this post shows the view from our bedroom window and I will end with the same view, which looks out to the Adirondack Mountains in NY.
