About Me

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!

San Diego Vacation : Day 1

The first day in SD we decided to check out Sea World! Since Josh is in the military he gets in free along with up to 5 dependents once a year! We figured since we get in free then we might as well go! We are so happy that we decided to go! Adah loved being outside all day and getting to ride around in the carrier and Josh and I loved seeing all the animals especially SHAMU! You would have thought we were 13! If you have not seen the SHAMU show than you are missing out! It is way cool! Along with SHAMU we saw Polar Bears, Walrus, Baluga Whale, Penguin, Pink flamingos (who btw where walking around in the middle of the side walks! funniest thing ever!), manatee, sharks, fish, rays, Dolphin, Eel! After a day full of walking around and looking at the animals we decided to take a Gondola ride out over the water to get a good view of the bay and the park....we also took a tower ride that spun in a circle slowly so that we could get a all around view of SD! Since it was Adah's first visit to SW she had to get a souvenir so we decided that since SHAMU was our favorite that it was hers too and who goes to SW w/o getting a stuffed SHAMU! She actually got a SHAMU puppet that squeaks!

After leaving the park we went back to the hotel for a little bit and then headed over to our friends the Williams house to catch up and go out to dinner! They lived in CT also and just recently got stationed in SD! We had a great time catching up with them! Did I mention that I think EVERY place should do like Sea World and have a nursing room with a changing table and a rocking chair that is air conditioned.....BEST THING IN THE WORLD!!!!

The Polar bear posing!
The flamingos taking a break in the grass from their stroll down the sidewalk! Did you know that flamingos are pink because they only eat shrimp!?!?
The greatest show on EARTH! SHAMU BELIEVE!
This is what Adah thinks of the show!







Adah and I on the Gondola ride....not gonna lie I was a little freaked out! I all of the sudden have this new fear of heights.....maybe b/c I had such a precious thing in my arms....she didn't care one bit!

I can't believe how wonderful these pictures are!!!! They are just great!!! I'm so glad ya'll had such a wonderful time. I've only been to Sea World once and that was in San Antonio. Unfortunately, we went in July and were absolutely miserable!! We could not have been any hotter!!! We still had a great time, but I mostly remember the heat! I bet it was heavenly there in San Diego!!

Thanks for sharing these wonderful pictures!!
