Just the beginning....

The past several days we have had some major(well alot for a Texas girl) snow, Ice, rain, wind, cold, and refreezing of all the above here in Connecticut. Its been really exciting for me but I just wish that Josh could be here to enjoy it......so I took some pictures of the first day. I will try and take more pictures tomorrow since we got another storm last night. Enjoy.....

December 2, 2006 = 1 year ago = the best day of my life!

I guess you can all figure it out......I got to spend my one year wedding anniversary all by myself. It was pretty sad.....I will have to admit! That was just one day.....and I would have to say that this past year has been the Happiest year of my life! I couldn't have asked for a more amazing person to spend my life with! We did celebrate our anniversary about a month ago with a weekend get away and then last weekend.....the day before he left we had dinner and read our 1 year cards! We recieved lots of words of encouragement....some laughter...but it was good. Josh and I exchanged gifts and I must admit that he did very well! Josh asked for a video game.....and of course it was FIFA Soccer for the Nintendo Wii. I acutally gave it too him a week before Thanksgiving so that he would have a chance to play before he went underway....that was a bed idea....b/c I couldn't get him off of it.....I swear he played that game more than ANYTHING else! At least he loved it! I on the other hand got a pearl ring with a sapphire on each side! It is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Also to my surprise I recieved a dozen red roses and 6 white calla lilies this past Friday! My husband is amazing....! I can't believe that it has been a year! We both can not wait for what the future holds......we have been having so much fun so far and know that it is only going to be even better in years to come! Here are some pictures of my presents......Enjoy!

Groton Lights Parade!

So...the same FREEZING cold day that I went to cut down Val's tree.....Rachel and I thought we would be "into the city/town" you could say......and we ventured out to support the Groton Lights Parade. Let me tell you.....it was probably the most amazing parade I have ever seen.....except not! Don't you worry though.....we definitely stuck it out the entire time! Here are a few pictures from the parade....I guess when you talk about a parade here it means decorating your car and not building floats! Enjoy!

Rachel and I all bundled up!
City of Noank Fire department!
The best "float" of the night...SANTA!
