Happy Birthday Samantha!

Hope you have a great day! It took me forever to go through the 8 years of photos I have of you, to find the ones I wanted to post! I must say, some I could use for blackmail(hee hee hee) and I have enough for 40 more birthday posts, atleast! Do you think we'll be blogging that long? HAA HAA! Well, enjoy the sun in Florida and kick around some of that sand on the beach for me would ya!

Happy Birthday!

Downtown Boston

Church of Scientology(building with the dome)
We ventured off to a section of downtown Boston we've never seen. It was beautiful with fountains and it all belonged to the Church of Scientology.

Game OFF!

We were gonna go to the Red Sox game tonight until it starting pouring down rain, so we decided to pass! Here are some shots outside Fenway park, while we were in a bar having some beer!

Brew Tour

We're drunk!
Mom's Drunk!
Cheers!

We went to the Sam Adam's Brewery Tour today! It wasn't in the best area of Boston, but well worth the trip for a free souvenir glass and plenty of beer to get us loaded! It was the best brew tour I've ever been on so everyone that visits has to go! Gotta love it!

New Blogger

Rowdy has now joined the blogging world(YAY!) to keep everyone updated on his deployment to Afghanistan. Here's his address

Anniversary

Rowdy and I had our six year wedding anniversary today. He took me to the Top of the Hub, a fancy restaurant on the top of the Prudential Center in Boston. It has a view of the entire city! It was VERY nice and dinner was delicious!!! Thanks babe!

A REAL Lobster Fest!

Boston World Trade Center
Time to dig in, bibs and all!

We went to the best seafood restaurant in Boston, called "NO NAME". It's one of Boston's hidden secrets and right on the bay. We had a lobster meal with shrimp and scallops! YUMMY!!

After dinner, Rowdy and Dan wanted to go bar hoppin, while my mom and I decided to go home. Unfortunately, bar hoppin' was cut short, when I realized Rowdy had taken the keys to our building and apt off our key chain and placed them in his pocket!!! We were almost home, so they had to leave to meet us. OH WELL! Not my fault! That'll teach him to separate the keys!

Here are some photos of our Day 1 excursion on Boston with my mom and brother. We went on a Harbor Cruise around the bay, followed by a Trolley Tour around the city and then walked some of the Freedom Trail. We also stopped in the Black Rose for some New England Clam Chowder and beer.

Later we headed to Harvard Square to tour the campus. Now we're at home relaxing after a long day!

Going Away Luncheon

Today, Rowdy's co-workers treated us to lunch, at an Italian Restauraunt in Lexington, for his going away on deployment. It was SO nice of them. They also gave him a great big card signed by everyone, wishing him luck on his travels.

FINALLY!

Well, it did rain today, but finally let up enough for the sun to shine through! Thank goodness!! We're not suppose to get anything for a couple of days, but then back to more rain by the end of the week! SUCKS, but atleast we got a break!

FLOOD 06'

Photos of the flood!

OK! I'm starting to lose it! It's been raining here for almost 2 weeks NON-STOP and it's not suppose to stop till the middle of next week, if that! They say the rain is the worst it's ever been on record since the 1930's. People are being evacuated all over the state of Mass and New England area, because dams are breaking and rivers are overflowing. Parts of Boston are flooding as well. I've never seen anything like it. It just rains and rains and rains!

Sat Night

Chris shared his umbrella with Rowdy....How sweet! HAA HAA!

We went out with Chris and Caroline last night for a laid back evening. We started at the Burren in Davis Square and ended up at Christopher's in Porter Square.

Happy Mother's Day!

CONGRATULATIONS DANNY!

My little brother Danny graduated today, with honors, from the University of Missouri-Columbia "MIZZOU". He got a degree in Biochemistry with a minor in Chemistry. He also got accepted to Dental School at the University of MO-Kansas City, which starts Aug 21st. I'm So sad I can't be there to see him graduate, but he'll be in Boston with my mom on Wed! CONGRATULATIONS DAN! I'm so proud to have you as my brother! See you soon!

I'd also like to Congratulate my sister, Holly, for getting a job offer. I'm sure Mike, her hubby, is happy she'll be bringing home some bacon instead of spending all of his. HAA! HAA!

I'm the only one that hasn't found a nitch yet! Someone throw me a bone, damnit! I need something I can enjoy for once!

Military Spouses' Appreciation Day!

Rowdy surprised me today with some beautiful tulips for Military Spouses' Appreciation Day! Thanks Babe! I totally forgot we had a day! How exciting! I'm honored to be a Military Spouse(even though, I fought it at the beginning) and I'm thankful to know such great people, who are spouses as well, so Happy Military Spouses Day Ladies! (Kim H, Kim D, Hollie, Frankie, Jamie, Samantha, Keelee, Collene, Beth, Whitney, Susan, Tammi and Wendy! Just to name a few!) You are all lovely ladies. Through parties, pregnancies, births, motherhood, blogs, travel and more parties and/or whatever it may be, thanks for keeping life interesting! LOL
