About Us

Boston, MA, United States
Carolyn is a dog-loving, ice-cream-eating, soccer-ball-kicking, book-reading, bioethics-researching, vegetable-cooking kind of girl, and Mike is a Halo-playing, karate-kicking, HIV-researching, distance-running, Mexican-food-eating, travel-loving, Simpsons-quoting kind of guy. We met in 2004 and were married in 2006. We lived and studied in Oxford, England for three years but have just moved to Boston for... more school. As you can see, we are professional students but someday... SOMEDAY... we hope to have actual, you know, jobs.

The new member of our family

Here he is! Santa (aka Mike) was very good to me this Christmas: he got me a kitty! With our schedules a dog isn't feasible quite yet (someday though!), so upon our return to cold, wet, dreary Boston we headed over to the animal shelter and picked up this cutie! How anyone could abandon such a gorgeous creature in a parking lot is beyond me.  We hadn't intended to bring home a new pet that day - we had all sorts of grand plans about shopping around and taking time to deliberate - but he was just too cute to resist!  We named him Milo, and though he spent the first hour in his new home hiding in the tub, and the second hour hiding under the bed, he's come out of his shell, explored his new surroundings, and cuddles in the bed with us every night.  He also seems to enjoy posing for the camera.  Welcome home Milo!
