Brian's Visit- Day 2!

Well, unfortunately, I had to work the following day, so the boys were on their own! These are the ONLY pictures they took all day! IMAGINE THAT! Well, we know for sure they had lobster! Anywhooo, I tried to get out of them what they did all day, but I got some story about a loose pepper and a magician??? I guess we had to be there! HA! HA! Did you get the same story, Samantha?! Well, All the matters is they had a good time!

Brian's Visit - Day 1

Time to go night night!
Sweet Cardinal's Victory!!!!
Don't think too hard!
"Slurp, Slurp"
So well behaved!!!
"Get a new team, Man"
This is how Rowdy looks when his Oakland A's lose!
Those are some mighty big beers, boys!

Smokin' some C-GARS at HAAAVAD!

Brian had a TDY to Boston last week and decided to stay a couple extra days to hang out with us. We spent most of the afternoon and all night hanging out around Harvard Square. We started off at Grendel's Den, a popular Harvard hangout, but since they didn't have a TV to watch his beloved Oakland A's, Rowdy allowed just enough time to scarf down BIG pretzels and a couple beers, before we were off to the next place, Tommy Doyle's. We had some dinner, watched the A's lose, and then moved on to Whitney's, a tiny pub, to watch the Cardinal's WIN! We had a really good time!

Thank You!

I just wanted to send out a BIG MUCHO GRACIAS to everyone who acknowledged me on my Birthday ,Thurs, even though I'm getting "WICKED" OLD!! (I just had to throw in some Boston Slang!HA) I received some really thoughtful gifts, cards, phone calls, serenades, texts, emails, blog postings, you name it! I especially enjoyed my Boston Cream Cake and hour long, Deep Tissue Massage at the Spa, courtesy of Rowdy!

THANKS HUBS!

I will update more later.....

Sat Night

Debbie flew into town this weekend with her friend Ryan, so Sat night we went out to dinner at Out of the Blue, in Davis Squre, followed by some dancing at the Burren. According to our photos, we had a great time, but most of them came out blurry! Gotta blame the wine!

More Fall Photos

Fall is Here!

Rowdy and I went on base today to pick up his car, and on the way home, I TRIED to take some photos of the trees, while driving. I didn't do a good job, but it's the most beautiful fall

I've ever seen in my life! I'll take and post more photos later!

I LOVE FALL!

Maine Cont....

The next day was gloomy ,unlike the day before, but we still managed to do a little sight seeing around Maine. We also stopped by the outlet malls in Kittery, Maine on our way home. The whole town is an outlet mall with a ton of stores. Surprisingly, Rowdy was doing most of the shopping! I was just too tired to shop!

Wedding in Maine

Wedding Location
Rowdy enjoying some beer!
Joe, Tim, and myself
This is the only photo I captured of the bride and groom that wasn't blurry, but they looked great!
Joe, TJ, Justin and Rowdy

Rowdy showed up just in time for us to drive to York, Maine the next morning for Chris and Caroline's Wedding. (It's about an hour from our place). It was a beautiful location and day for a wedding. We also had a mini Cheyenne reunion, but I didn't really have the chance to take many photos.

Later that evening, we all headed out for some Maine Lobster(no photos, sorry).

It was good to see everyone!

Looks Who's BACK!

Rowdy made it home safe and sound late Fri night and a few days earlier than expected! WAHOO!

Fun Work Outing!

This is an old post! I just forgot to publish...

Last week, my co-workers(Chandra, in photo, and Suzanne) and I went to a few different Art galleries on Newbury St for work. We met at Sonsie's, one of my personal favorites, for appetizers and wine, www.sonsieboston.com, gallery hopped for a couple hours, and then had late afternoon "Tea" at the Four Seasons, which was DELISH! The Rolling Stones were in town for a concert and there at the exact same time! We saw some members of the entourage, but according to "Doorman Steve", we missed Mick Jagger by minutes! BUMMER! Anyway, I just read in the Boston Globe, that Mick and the band went to Sonsie's that evening! I guess we just kept missing each other! Sorry for your luck, Mick! (HA) Anyway, the BIGGEST BUMMER of all, was that I could've had free Rolling Stones tickets for the concert the next night! The Base was giving away free tickets to spouses, whose husbands were deployed, but tickets were limited! Of course, I missed out on the one day I'm not religiously checking my email. BOO!HOO!

BEING SICK SUCKS!

I feel like POO today! My nose is running like Niagra Falls and my head feels like a ton of bricks! I would love to take some Nyquil and go to bed but that thing called "work", is stopping me from doing so! SUCKY!

Delivery Day!

Well...our new furniture arrived today, but not without problems! Our couch BARELY fit through the stairwell!!! (The same stairwell, that forced us to give away our other couch, HENCE, why we needed to buy new furniture!) I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown! Anyway, as you can see, it made it in and fits perfectly in our place! The kitties seem to love it and I'm sure Rowdy will too!

New Baby Girl!

Mandy and Brian had their baby girl Sophia Renee, and she's SO beautiful! Congratulations!!!

I can't wait to meet her!

TRY THIS!

This is SO wierd! You all need to try!

FINALLY....A Honeymoon!

Rowdy and I never took a honeymoon after we got married and we've spent the last 6.5 years taking vacations to visit family and friends, but we finally booked a trip to Cozumel from Jan 4-10! We are staying at the Cozumel Palace Resort-All Inclusive and it's absolutely beautiful! Some things are just worth waiting for!!!

Crate and Barrel ROCKS!

My long, exhausted search for the perfect couch/chair and ottoman is O-V-E-R! I found it at Crate and Barrel www.crateandbarrel.com. It's the perfect set to fit our needs of great looks for Muah and comfort for Rowdy! Now I just need to get rid of this other furniture we have so I can have it delivered, so BYE BYE you uncomfortable, piece of crap love seat!!! I think the only "person" that actually liked it was Stimpy, but I'm pretty sure he'll be very happy with the new selection! Oh and Crate and Barrel is now my new favorite home store...Sorry Pottery Barn!

Sat Night!

Went out with Emily, Roshni, Liam, Kristin and Katie on Sat night. We started out with some wine at Emily's and then went to Central Square for some dancing at the Phoenix Landing. Aside from the rain, it was another successful evening of fun!

For the rest of the weekend, I haven't done anything except lounge and attempt to finish some laundry. I really did have a ton of things to do, and I was SUPPOSE to go to Crate and Barrel to purchase our new couch and chair, but that still wasn't enough to get me off my lazy tush(sp?)! Sorry Rowdy!
