The Orders are in.......

Josh and I finally found out where we will be next.....after Josh in done with his time on the USS Alexandria he will be going to the Naval PostGraduate School to get his MBA! This is exactly what he wanted so we are super excited! The next exciting part is the location.......we will be moving to MONTEREY, CALIFORNIA!!!!! Thats right....we will be moving from the East coast to the West coast! We know for sure that we are going but we do not know the exact date yet. We do know that it will be some time the middle of next year. He starts school in July so we could go as late as June or as early as the end of April! We could not be more excited! If anyone is looking for a place to go next summer......we will be in California and open to visitors! I think the best part about going is that Josh will NOT be on a submarine!!!! He will spend all his time going to school and hanging out with me!!! We will finally get a chance to be together with out it being broken up into a couple of months at a time! I have provided a couple of websites incase anyone is interested in learning more or reading about the school that Josh will be attending or the place that we will be living! Enjoy!

....You make smile, Please stay for awhile........

It has seemed like forever and to Josh and I both this underway was by far the longest and hardest. Not in acutally length but it felt that way to us! The wait is over and he is safe at home with me now! Josh got back at the end of last week and we spent this weekend getting away to spend time alone together......despite every thing that tried to prevent us from going....from the massive wreck on I-95 that closed down the interstate...which by the way is pretty much the only way to get anywhere around here......and hurricane Noel deciding to attack us. With all that.....we had a great 24 hours of just "Us" time. We went up to a small town North West of Hartford and stayed the night in a hotel there and then spent the day saturday shopping and going to some wine tastings. It was nice to spend time together after having him away! Today we went to church and then went to Mystic to watch Eric(our neighbor) run in the Tarzan Race....it was 5.5 miles I believe...then we came home and did a lot of things around the house that needed to be done since Josh was gone. Now its back to work.....break for Thanksgiving....more work and then Josh is swimming again. P.S.....yes he will be gone for our 1 year anniversary.....! I guess it is better to have him here for Thanksgiving and Christmas than for our 1year....all though I would love to have him here for all three. Just so that everyone knows.......Josh and I can not discuss exact dates on when he comes and goes it is highly confidential and can not be discussed over the phone,email,internet sites, etc......I'm sorry but the dates and time frames that I have given on here are as much as are allowed. That is it for now.....GO COLTS BEAT THE PATRIOTS! GO COWBOYS BEAT THE EAGLES!!!!!! Christie you might as well accept it now.....the Cowboys ARE America's team and they ARE going to beat your Eagles tonight!

Pictures....Finally!

Here are the pictures that I said that I would post I believe in the last post that I wrote....there are pictures of the diaper cake and the real cake from Bonnie's baby shower. There is also a few fall pictures from my visit to Boston to see Ashley (who lives there) and Rachel(visiting from Tejas). Enjoy!
