We hope to use these funds to decorate our car with "Just Married" cans, flowers, and streamers; to book a hotel or glampsite, enjoy a maple "creamie", and to explore beautiful Vermont for this special weekend together.

Maybe we'll sink our teeth into the maple cookies and pet some VT goats :)

Annahita has out-grown her intermediate Giardinelli flute, which she has shared her love of music through for 15 years now (after 5 years with her beginner flute). Her conductors have urged her to look into obtaining an advanced, professional concert flute for her to convey her musical passion in her performances. Any amount will be very appreciated here <3

Mortgage payments, patio furniture, essentials, cooking items

We all need a break between large life events such as moving and getting married (and their relevant showers and parties). We've tried the retreats virtually and have been wanting to try one in person together for years now. As two driven humans, we're aware of how equally important it is to rest in between hard work!

We both have grown up with cats and look up to them, as they've greatly influenced our youth. And we both lost our cats to old age after sharing so much love that they've taught us. Animals are absolutely amazing and calming, and we both hope to add another cat or two to our new family we'll begin together. <3 P.S. Anna has allergies to cat hair/dander and now knows there are cats out there to love without the sneezes, even if they're more expensive to bring home

We spend lots of time together on our porch and working in the front and back yards- we'd love to grow some vegetables to cook with, Adam would love to grow some welcoming plants and flowers for our visitors to enjoy, and Anna would love to watch the birds and squirrels discover gems in the feeders <3

Annahita works with LabReNew to make labs greener since they produce some of the most carbon output in their process of great discoveries- but it doesn't have to be at the cost of our planet's sustainability! Let's help LabReNew implant resources and educate science researchers in how they can be more efficient and lessen their carbon footprint at the same time <3 Here's LabReNew's link if you want to see more about them and the awesome things they do, and to donate: https://www.labrenew.org/
