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!

Nothing yet....

Just wanted to update everyone really quick....the house that we really wanted yesterday did not work out....we were really bummed about it. We are headed back out today to look some more. Please continue to pray for us....we are tired...and getting really stressed about all this! I know there is a perfect home for us....I just wish that we could hurry up and find it so we can get our stuff and move in ...... and get the kitties back from the kennel. Have a great Monday!

oops...a few more pics....

Here is just a couple of Cannery Row.....not very good pics....I'll try better!



Our new home....well home town that is....

Well...sorry it has taken me so long to update. We have been crazy busy looking for a place to live. We still have not found a place. We go this afternoon to look at a house that we really would like to have.....that is at 3pm Pacific time...so say a little prayer for us. We finally got a chance yesterday afternoon to take a much needed break from the car and looking for a place....and got to see a little bit of the town we will be living in. I can't wait for us to have a place and for people to come visit!!! Here are just a few pictures of what we got to see yesterday and these pictures do not even begin to do this place justice. Hope you enjoy and I will post more about our last day of travel and pictures from our drive in.

Our first view of the Pacific Ocean....thats Monterey in the distance
A deer that walked by our car while we were looking for a place to live....
he ended up laying down in the shade up against the fence!
Monterey/Pacific Grove California!!!
It doesn't get better than this!
One of the many seals...he wanted back in the water
No that is not rocks....its all seals....just catching some rays!
Can you see the little one swimming in?

Double bike thinging....we are so doing this....you ride it all along the water!

WELCOME TO CALIFORNIA....

Well we made if finally! We got to our hotel in Vallejo at 7:30pm(pacific time)! We are beyond exhausted. I plenty to blog about with our adventures today but I just can't bring myself to sit up and type. I did however want to let everyone who is checking know that we made it here safely. We will be heading straight to Monterey tomorrow morning. We stopped here because we were suppose to stop and pick up Josh's car on the way into Monterey tomorrow.....but just found out that his car will not be here until next week....so now we get to sleep in and then drive straight to Monterey and find a place to live. We have until Monday to get a place if we want to keep from having our stuff put into storage. That is all I have for now. Thank you all so much for all of your prayers and encouragement through our trip....I can't even say how much we appreciated it. We love you guys...and miss you! Especially my CT girls! I can't believe that we are on opposite coasts! Its crazy! Check back tomorrow and I will have up our fun facts from todays trip through the rest of Wyoming, Utah, Nevada and California!

Love and Hugs
Amanda and Josh
