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!

My poor Izzy!

Just wanted to add a quick note.....I am taking Izzy to the vet in the morning to have her surgery! She is getting fixed and declawed! So tomorrow she will have to spend her first night away from home. I just hope that she doesn't hate me too much when she gets done! Just pray that everything goes good and that she heals and gets back to normal quickly! Well....maybe not completely normal! I would like her to be a little less hyper!

Josh comes home REAL soon! I can't even explain how EXCITED I am!

Parks in Connecticut!!!! BEAUTIFUL!!!

We (Connecticut) have been blessed with absolutely AMAZING weather! Sooo....after I drove home from Boston on Saturday morning....instead of doing things around that house that I had planned on doing....I decided to go on a little adventure with Mary to check out some of the state parks in Connecticut! We had quite the adventure! We started out going to this one park that has a castle on the top of a hill that is suppose to have this great view....well we went the way the directions told us and that way was closed b/c of all the rain that we got....soo we decided to fina another entrance.....we started that way and Mary didn't realize that the water was as high as it was and we almost got stuck in the water.....the car started to steam and we thought that were going to be swimming back to dry land.....luckily we made it out safetly and with no damage to the car! After that adventure we decided that we were going to just go to the next park on our list! This one we were actually able to get into! It had beautiful water falls! We went on a 2 hour hike through the park.....it was so amazing! It was nothing like I am used to in Texas....there were no marked trials and we hiked through trees, rocks, and over streams that were leading to the main falls! Anyways.....you would just have to go yourself tho know how great is was! I decided to post a few pictures! I hope you all enjoy!

Mary decided that she was going to climb up one of the falls! I decided not to venture out that far!
This is not the park....just a picuture of the sunset in Groton(were I live) over the Thames River. I was going to play games with my neighbors Christie and Eric and Christie wanted a picture so I of course had my camera so I took a picture for her and liked it myself so here it is for you to see!
Now we are back to the park! This is a bridge right next to the falls!
This was taken from the top of the falls!
This one is from the bottom of the fall!
This is a picture of our hike! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
A smaller fall.....the same one Mary climbed!


Big Apple Circus....Boston, Mass.!

Well.....I went to Boston for my last Hurray before Josh comes home! Ashley and Austin and I went to the Big Apple Circus in Boston this past Saturday! It was really cool! It was old school style....it was in a tent! I thought I would share a little bit of what I saw! Enjoy!

I LOVE my husband & he obviously LOVES me!

Well.....when I was driving home from work today I got a call from our apartments main office and they said that I had a surprise at the office and to come by! I was kinda worried because I was going through my head of who could have and would have gotten me something.....I didn't even think of Josh considering he is under the water and has been with no contact to the outside world! I under estimated him.....he is AMAZING! I got to the office to find FLOWERS and a note from my best friend! I STINKIN LOVE HIM! He even sent me red roses and calla lilies(the flowers from our wedding)! He is the best!

Keep him in your prayers this final stretch of him being gone.....I know he is under a lot of stress and is eager to be done!

Here are my FLOWERS!





I stole this next idea from Mary! She took a picture like this with her engagement ring and I loved it so I decided to do it myself! Thanks Mary!
