and so it is: October 2011

Trip to Boston

Sadly my grandmother passed away so James and I were able to take a trip to Boston for the funeral to see the family and say good-bye one last time.

From right: William, James, me, Veronica, Andrew

My BEAUTIFUL cousin Marissa. I love her dearly.

A little part of my family was able to get away for a night and we had dinner at this delicious Italian restaurant. It was so much fun catching up and being able to spend some time together. (Big Papa was sadly cut out of the picture to the left, sorry.)

My boys :)

Veronice and James really hit it off. I was so pleased that their goofy sides matched and they were able to entertain me for a day when we took the T down to Boston and walked around Harvard.

The love birds on the stairs to one of the many libraries at Harvard.

The Ball

My hunky military husband was invited to a Ball that his Platoon put on. And of course the line came to me "Every pretty girl deserves to go to a ball." I was exstatic to be able to buy a dress and get all dolled up for a night.

Look how HAPPY I am to be going, lol.

My classy man in his Class A's. He may hate wearing them because they are so "stiff," but I LOVE him in them!

At the Ball... one of the only pictures we took of us. What were we thinking? Especially since we looked so stunning together!

I love his sense of humor and the faces he makes!

4th of July

It was such a pretty day on the 4th. James and I went exploring to Steilacom, a town over. Seriously my favorite place that I have found here so far. From the spot we camped out at to see the fireworks had the prettiest view.

Just enjoying the warm weather and beautiful surroundings with the hunny :)

the view...

Since James and I had camped out there all day we were unprepared for the cold weather so we made it long enough to see a couple fireworkds and then ran home to warm up.
