Last weekend’s adventure

I could write a post a week about all the fun exciting things going on at Tuck.  But in addition to all the Tuck love going on in the Hanover area, I think there’s something really special about this location: tucked away just enough that we can enjoy each other, these landscapes, and new experiences [...]

The weather has held up well enough so far this year (it was sunny and in the 60′s yesterday!) so we’ve been enjoying lots of outdoor play while it’s been so nice. However, as the days grow colder and daylight becomes more scarce we’ll need to find other ways to keep ourselves busy. So, I’ve [...]

First Week Reflections & Friday Nights In

I would like to imagine that I am writing this on a bright Saturday morning.  I am sitting at a local yet very trendy coffee shop in Carrboro, reminiscing about my first great Friday night as a Carolina student. But indeed this is not the case. It is Friday night.  It’s early enough that I [...]
