We are extremely blessed! J and I have been happily married for 4 years and continue to grow and learn more about each other everyday(you would think after knowing each other for over 15 years there wouldn't be anything else to learn)!! Josh is currently a submarine officer in the Navy. We just finished up our shore duty in Monterey, CA and SOAC(dept.head school) in Groton, CT and are now living in Virginia for a short while where Josh is the ENG on the Tennessee. We will be moving to Georgia with in the next year and couldn't be more excited! While Josh is busy on the submarine I am busy raising our two sweet little girls Adah and Michaela! We love being parents and watching our sweet baby girls grow, change, and learn each day! Can't forget about our first "children"...our crazy cats Izzy and Ollie! We have been blessed with the best friends and family in the world. We can't wait to see what God has in store for us in the coming years!

Parks in Connecticut!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

We (Connecticut) have been blessed with absolutely AMAZING weather! Sooo....after I drove home from Boston on Saturday morning....instead of doing things around that house that I had planned on doing....I decided to go on a little adventure with Mary to check out some of the state parks in Connecticut! We had quite the adventure! We started out going to this one park that has a castle on the top of a hill that is suppose to have this great view....well we went the way the directions told us and that way was closed b/c of all the rain that we got....soo we decided to fina another entrance.....we started that way and Mary didn't realize that the water was as high as it was and we almost got stuck in the water.....the car started to steam and we thought that were going to be swimming back to dry land.....luckily we made it out safetly and with no damage to the car! After that adventure we decided that we were going to just go to the next park on our list! This one we were actually able to get into! It had beautiful water falls! We went on a 2 hour hike through the park.....it was so amazing! It was nothing like I am used to in Texas....there were no marked trials and we hiked through trees, rocks, and over streams that were leading to the main falls! Anyways.....you would just have to go yourself tho know how great is was! I decided to post a few pictures! I hope you all enjoy!

Mary decided that she was going to climb up one of the falls! I decided not to venture out that far!
This is not the park....just a picuture of the sunset in Groton(were I live) over the Thames River. I was going to play games with my neighbors Christie and Eric and Christie wanted a picture so I of course had my camera so I took a picture for her and liked it myself so here it is for you to see!
Now we are back to the park! This is a bridge right next to the falls!
This was taken from the top of the falls!
This one is from the bottom of the fall!
This is a picture of our hike! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
A smaller fall.....the same one Mary climbed!

Looks great - after hiking in the Rockies with Amanda R we found that we love hiking - we will have to put this on the agenda when we come out. You know after Amanda R gets married we are going to have an Amanda C, D, and E. :-)

Can you drive a car to those waterfalls? I don't want to hike.

Justin - hiking is great and if a 50 yr old grandma can hike three miles "up" in the Rockies you can handle the Connecticut hikes :-)
