About Me

My photo
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!

More from Monterey....

Sorry for the lack of updating lately. Josh and I have been busy hanging out and just learning more about the area. I'm able to update because Josh went to check in at school this morning. So now we will hopefully know what his schedule will be like. All we know right now is that he has orientation on Tuesday. He is excited and not.....he is excited to get back to school since he loves it so much but not too excited to have to go back to work....he and I have enjoyed him being home all the time and being able to do whatever when want. Not much else is going on here...we finally have our place all set up.....and are ready for our first set of visitors. Christie and Eric come to visit on Wednesday so they will be here to celebrate the July 4th holiday with us. And...we bought a grill....its AMAZING....Josh cooked steaks last night on it and they were TO DIE FOR! We both thought that they were some of the best steaks that we have ever had! Well...thats all for now...here are a few more pictures:

View from Lover's Point....the trees here are so neat!
Josh touching the Pacific Ocean for the first time......
A seal swimming outside out boat on the glass bottom boat we went on
More Sea Lions!
Monterey Sunset!

I have never seen so many beautiful flowers..and so many...this is one of Josh's favorites....besides his most favorite which is birds of paradise!
We had a huge heat wave...and no one around here has a/c...including us....so I think Ollie was hot....he has never done this before.....
Out on the water with last weekend's storm coming in...the lightning from this storm was the cause of several of the fires around here!

I like the new background. Leave it like this, It is pretty and easy to read. I'm glad you all have had so much fun. I'm sure you will still be able to do a lot even after he starts school. It is going to be so much better than being on the sub.

Your new blog look is CUTE CUTE CUTE!

I'm getting nervous about moving out there... so keep posting only wonderful things. And nothing about earthquakes! Thanks!

OCF ain't the same without you! I still can't believe you never had to pray.

Miss you!

I love all the pictures!! It does look pretty amazing out there. I've been in San Francisco before but never the Monterey area. I hope I can visit while ya'll are there.

Glad to hear that Josh can cook on the grill! That was always his Dad's job and he always did a good job. I'll have to try my hand at it some time.

I love ya'll!
