Erica & Ray's Wedding

The third reason I was going to Boston in June was for Erica's wedding. Erica and I played field hockey together at Clark and she helped me get my job at Stride Rite, so there was both Clarkies and Stride Rite collegues present. Aside from celebrating Erica and Ray's wedding, I learned the good news that Jessica and Matt, also from Clark, are expecting their first baby (dubbed by us that evening as Poppy Petitt Phaneuf). Can't wait to meet her!

The wedding was at this beautiful estate in Danvers, MA.
Jenna, Lauren and I went to the wedding together. It was great having a weekend w/ my girls!

Jessica, part of the Clark FC crew, was in the wedding party.

Such a great night and so good to see everyone! Leaving the next day for Nurnberg was the first time I missed living closer to everyone. Luckily, I was heading back to Boston a week and a half later. Oh, the jet-set lifestyle.
