    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[The rest of our lives starts now!]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The year 2020 was supposed to be a year of celebrations. My fiancé and I, newly engaged and excited, began planning for our wedding shortly after he proposed to me in the summer of 2019. In fact, we found our perfect venue almost immediately after getting engaged. My dream of marrying at an idyllic vineyard was coming true! By the end of 2019, we had a plan – to escape the harsh New England winter and get married in Florida, January of 2021. We even traveled to the Sunshine State in December of 2019 to interview vendors and secure photography, videography, and catering. All the pieces of the puzzle were falling together perfectly. Our joint wedding shower, as well as our respective bachelor and bachelorette parties were to take place in the summer of 2020. We were ecstatic to keep the celebrations going! That is, until the Covid-19 pandemic hit home. In mid April 2020, as cases peaked in Rhode Island, my fiancé and I painfully decided to cancel our plans and dreams of a Florida wedding. While it was a difficult decision to make, it was also a huge blessing in disguise. We lost non-refundable deposits, but saved thousands in total wedding expenses. More importantly, we succeeded in not risking the lives of our dear family and friends. As we reflected on our blessings and the fragility of life, what reason was there to wait to get married? The rest of our lives could start now! So, in proper pandemic fashion, with the help of just our parents and siblings, on August 30th 2020, Roberto and I had ourselves the most beautiful, romantic, and intimate backyard wedding a girl could dream of. And for that, we will be grateful for the rest of our lives.]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The pandemic prevented my family and I from being together, especially for very important events. This past summer, my cousin married the love of her life in Guatemala. She and I always talked about being in each other&#039;s wedding; to be each other&#039;s right-hand person. Sadly our dreams did not go as planned. Instead, my mom and I joined virtually for my cousin&#039;s wedding via WhatsApp. We cried, we laughed, we smiled. I am so happy my cousin found her person, and I look forward to meeting her new family one day.<br />

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Tips &amp; Tricks for Travel During COVID-19]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<div dir="auto">Travel during covid??<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">My tips/reflection:<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">•Cooperate! There are many restrictions- just like in RI/MA some places enforce more than others. One restaurant asked if I had been in the state of New Mexico for 14 days, which I hadn’t- I could have lied I guess but they really appreciated my honesty but they couldn’t serve me food so it’s okay a few fast food trips won’t kill me (hopefully).&nbsp;Be an honest person. Take advantage of things you can do, but don’t push it. You don’t want to be the person that ruins things for everyone!<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">•I brought my negative covid test results with me, but surprisingly noone asked me for it (they probably should have, but I dont make the rules! lol)<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">•You really don’t come into direct contact with anyone (stay 6 feet away with your mask on!) I love it! I hate being close to random people 6 feet away is great for me and the mask keeps my nose warm and stops spreading germs- it’s literally fine! Traveling is so easy because everything is cheap, airports are DEAD (the longest TSA line I waited in was 7 minutes!) and getting around is quick- way less traffic!<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">•Just imagine everyone everywhere has covid!</div>
<div dir="auto">You’ll have no problem wearing your mask and sanitizing as required! I’m pretty sure there are more people in my local supermarket walking around with covid than people on my flight who are atleast screened for a fever/sickness etc!<br /><br /></div>
<div dir="auto">•I was nervous to travel at first and yes a lot of things are closed, but there are so many outdoor things to take advantage off and how much of life can I miss out on? Lol I probably won’t be traveling internationally for a while, but I think you can safely travel and have some outdoor adventures if you follow the rules</div>
<div dir="auto"></div>
<div dir="auto">Stay safe and healthy people!!</div>]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Charlie &amp; Me]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[<span>My experience with the pandemic would be being stressed out and isolated from friends and family. The masks has made it hard for me to communicate with others by not hearing well and maintaining my mask on all the time while being around others. Distance Learning has brought stress due to assignments being due at the end of the week. It is very hard for me to stay focused with so much assignments being assigned and on top of that maintain good grades. Being isolated from others has brought sadness from not seeing them or missing to hug them. But thankfully my family has been supportive during these challenging times. For instance, my cousin and her puppy Charlie have brought happiness into my life.</span>]]></dcterms:description>
