Happy Valentine's Day to US!

Josh and I decided that we would go ahead and just get a joint valentine's present for each other this year and it came on Saturday! We got each other a new bedroom suite! We are super excited about it. Here are a few pictures of our present.

Our sleigh Bed!
Our new dresser!
Our chest!
One of our night stands...we got two!

Providence, Rhode Island

Yesterday Josh and I went to Providence with Kyle and Rachel. Kyle took us to show us a park there that he does some climbing at. When we got there we noticed that there were people out on the pond/lake ICE SKATING! Of course Rachel and I got excited and wanted to go out on it. So we did! Here are a few pictures of us playing on the ice. After the ice adventure we went to the mall there and walked around.....Rachel and I decided to work out a little on the "horse" machine. Then we all went to dinner at Dave and Busters and played arcade games. Of course Josh and Kyle had to play some shooting games so I thought I would get an action shot of that! Hope you enjoy!

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!
