This post is for Grandma....

Grandma wanted to see pictures of Izzy and how big or not so big she has gotten. I seem to complain about her alot lately.....if you notice the rug Josh bought while on deployment has been temporarily removed from the living room floor due to Izzy's craziness in wanting to use it as a scratching rug.....the last thing Josh said before he left was "Don't let Izzy tear up the rug!" So I decide that since she would not obey me I would take it up until she is old enough to be fixed and declawed. That time is not coming fast enough....we have to wait until she is 6months and that isn't until May 2!!!! I'm counting down the days and hoping that it will calm her down. And...I'm sorry if you do not agree with declawing....Josh and I do and there is NOTHING that will convince us that it is not a good idea! Anyways....I hope you all enjoy the pictures of Izzy. We are getting more snow tonight.....I guess it is never ending up here!

Izzy being her normal crazy self!!!
Playing come and get me with her toy that hangs on the door!...dumb cat!
She just got done attacking me!

Our late March Blizzard.....

I am told that this is what I get for moving to the North East! But who ever heard of such a thing as SNOW in the middle of March! I am suppose to be laying out in the sun getting a tan by this time! I guess those days are over for now at least! Anyways.....we had the worst snow storm of the year yesterday! It was CRAZY.....and scary trying to drive home from work! The highways and streets were covered and stores were closed. So of course Rachel and I decide that we want to go out to dinner.....and we did! We laughed at the fact that if our husband new what we were doing(being out in that weather) we would be DEAD! We made safetly and had a great dinner....then went back to Rachels and watched a movie that we had rented! Here are some pictures that I took:



Downtown Mystic Roads






















The Road to Rachel's house!




















Outside Rachel's house!

Just a few NYC pictures....

The Statue of Liberty...up close and personal!

















Kelly Jordan Loves her Camera! That is no lie....and I am sorry for all who had to sit through all 1,000+ pictures that she took!

Me at Liberty's foot.....well at the replica in the museum.
Ashley and Kelly at the foot!
The three of us ontop of the liberty base....looking out at the city behind us!

Visitors....

Well....Ashley and Kelly came and left. We had a GREAT week/weekend! We went to New York City last Saturday...I took them to church on Sunday to see where I have made my new church home....Monday we went to the Nautilaus Museum and Mystic Connecticut and ate at Mystic Pizza....Tuesday was there last night here and we went to tour Ft. Griswald and them I took them to the 2 casinos that we have here in Connecticut....had ice cream and them came home and made dinner together and had dinner with Rachel too. We had so much fun and I am so glad that they got to come and visit me!
Now it is back to normal life! I haven't been able to hear from Josh lately....he is in an area where he can not communicate with me. That really SUCKS.....but what are you gonna do. I still send him about a million emails a day! He loves getting emails....so if anyone wants to send him some words of encouragement or just say hello I can give you his email on the boat!
We are getting (HOPEFULLY) our last winter storm this weekend. We are suppose to get 4-12 inches this weekend. Makes me kinda nervous! One of the guys I work with was walking out of the office today with me and started asking me all these questions about the car.....is it front wheel drive......what type of engine....etc.....because he knows that I am from TEXAS and that I haven't driven in snow.....I laughed....and told him that I knew was that it was a car....it drove and was supercharged....HAHA.....by husband is a dork.....! The guy was like.....well I hope you make it to work! HAHA! Hopefully it won't be that bad though!
I will post pictures from my fun and crazy time with the girls this past week as soon as I get them uploaded! I know....I'm a slacker! Hope everyone had a great week!
Keep Josh in your prayers. Hopefully I will hear from him soon and can give an update!
I'll post pictures soon!
