A Shwitastic Party !

Hi Everyone! I’m finally back with part two of our wedding adventure in Banner Elk, NC at the Cornerstone Cabins. First, we’ve said it before, but we’re saying it again! HUGE thank you to my mom and sister who were the creative geniuses behind this. Shane and I said we wanted an ‘outdoor, cookout, tailgate-feel party withContinue reading “A Shwitastic Party !”

It’s a Nice Day for a…Wright Wedding

in Dubrovnik, Croatia! 9 September 2016 …it kind of messes up the whole “Crosson” Europe the “Wright” way thing, but I guess we will manage. 🙂 Unfortunately, this is the only picture we have of the day so far. We’re still waiting on the professional photos. I can say, though, that the day could notContinue reading “It’s a Nice Day for a…Wright Wedding”

Weddings, weather, & more !

So I’m a little late getting this post written but better late than never, right? Between work, travel, and finishing up things for our own wedding festivities next month, Whitney and I have been very busy lately. It seems like everytime I would sit down to work on a post, we would immediately get drawn into somethingContinue reading “Weddings, weather, & more !”

Groningen, Paris, & Amsterdam Too !

Guess who came to visit? If you guessed Shane’s family, then you guessed Wright! My almost in-laws and nephew (6 more weeks! – not that anyone is counting) made the trek from southwest Virginia to spend 10 days in Europe with Shane, Meatball and me. Two planes and a train ride later put them hereContinue reading “Groningen, Paris, & Amsterdam Too !”

Arolla, Switzerland

Last week I had the opportunity to attend an Evolutionary Biology Workshop in the Swiss Alps (yet another perk of living in Europe – spending the week in the Alps, no big deal…). In a nut shell, the purpose of this workshop was to aid people early in their science careers (aka me) in theContinue reading “Arolla, Switzerland”

Prague, Czech Republic

At the risk of bragging (but, I am), one the best things about living in Europe is our ability to travel with relatively little effort or cost.  Unlike in the US, where the price of most domestic flights make it nearly impossible for a weekend get-away (sure you can catch deals from time to time, butContinue reading “Prague, Czech Republic”

Oh America, how we missed you… Special Events Edition !

as promised… Special Event #1: We’re Engaged!!! to be married of course! Shane mentioned in the previous post that we spent some time back in Pittsburgh visiting friends. What he didn’t tell you was that he proposed while we were there! It’s New Year’s Eve, and he wakes me up at 5:30am. “Get up, let’sContinue reading “Oh America, how we missed you… Special Events Edition !”
