February...and freezing!!!

Wow....its been awhile since I last posted! I've been trying to spend as much time with Josh as I can before he leaves for 2 months! I guess since he has been home now for a week I can post some picuters of the shower! It was so much fun and Kristin and the other girls did a great job of making New England style food! Here ae some pictures:

Here is our matching Boston gear from Annette....she wanted to make sure that we got in with the "right" New England Team.....for those who don't know....up here you are either a Boston fan or a NY Yankees fan!
This variety of kitchen utensils and cookies and hot chocolate mix is from Jodi!

These two are from Jessica....the full atlas of Connecticut so I don't get lost and a scrapbook that actually has one of the flowers that I had in my bouquet!
These are my cubble duds! They are from Jen so that I will stay warm in the below freezing weather!

This is a picture of all the ladies....well...most of them. They all were told to dress in red and black since those were my colors. I by chance wore a white sweater! Starting with the back left: Caroline, Michelle, Jessica, Me, Jen, Rachel, Bonnie, Tina. Starting bottom left: Jodi, Kelly, and Kristin.
This is a bucket that I got from Bonnie and it has a Mystic/New England Cookbook in it and pancake mix with syrup!
This is a really pretty serving plate and server that I got from Michelle. She lives in NY and is actually a girlfriend not a wife....but one in the same!
Well, that is pretty much it....a few things not pictured on here are several gift cards to Target and Home Goods....and my gift from the Wardroom(officer) Wives was a silver charm that has the Alexandria crest ( Josh's boat) on one side and my Initials on the other.....my first thing with my new initails on it!

Other than that Josh and I have just been hanging out...doing taxes.....working out and looking for a job for me! Hopefully by the end of the month I will have something! Oh....exciting news....I got my plane ticket to TEXAS! I hope to see as many of you as I can.....so all you LBC people don't miss church on Easter Sunday! Well....I think this is enough for one post!

Update....

JOSH IS COMING HOME TODAY!!!!! I'm so excited! It has felt like an eternity! I wanted to wait and post about the shower until he got home and saw what we got! Sorry....you will just have to wait until tonight or tomorrow! I've been really busy lately taking care of Izzy! Our poor baby has a tapeworm! I have had to get her medicine at the vet......try to feed her as much as possible because she has lost weight and clean up her vomit! Oh the joy! Hopefully she will be better soon! Its actually kinda crazy because my friend Rachel got two cats at the same place a week before we got Izzy and her cat has a tapeworm too.....so at least her and I have gotten to experiance this together! Thats it for now!

Fun with the girls....

Today was a good day! I went to breakfast with some of the other wives this morning.....we went to this really cute restraunt calle Somewhere in Time or something like that. Daddy...I will have to take you and Aunt Kathy there if you all come visit.....it is just the kind of place you both would LOVE! Then I came home and cleaned house and hung out with Izzy.....which is always exciting because you never know what she is going to do next! This evening Bonnie and Rachel came over. Bonnie made baked potatoes and chili and we had dinner and watched a movie and just hung out talking. All in all it was a good day! I really enjoy hanging out and getting to know the girls.....but I still miss my Josh! I miss my mommy and daddy and grandma and papa too! You know....it really sucks that you don't realize how much you really need people and love their company until you are not with them anymore! I love you guys!

Shower Invitation

I thought I would take pictures of my super cute shower invitation since I said I would. The shower is this Saturday. It will be fun to hang out with the girls. I thought Kristin(the capt. wife) did a really good job on the invitations! It is a New England theme and we are going to have New England syle foods....soups, stews, breads, salad and dessert. I'm excited! Hope you enjoy!
