January 2010

So we started off the New Year with some great friends and good chinese food!! Let me tell you, going to pick up the food was the CRAZIEST thing I have ever experienced in my life!!!! Chinese food on NYE is VERY big here. I can't even explain the craziness.......Whew! The rest of the night was a blast! Unfortunately, I did not take any pics. (I used to be so good at having my camera at all times!)



Then about the middle of January, my friend Luisa came out to visit! It was fun! We went all over Mass and showed her around! And I think I got her addicted to SOA! We watched all 2 seasons in a few days! Unfortuantely, she didnt get all the snow she wanted! haha BUT....I did get some pics of while she was here!Its almost become tradition that everyone who visits gets a picture in the Lobster! haha

We also did Christmas with Kris' side of the family, since we were in CA during Christmas, and we got a ton of cool stuff!!!!

Other than that, I have learned how important it is to get up extra EARLY on days that it snows....since cleaning off the car is now a must before leaving for work! But I wouldn't trade in Winter for anything....I LOVE IT!! It actually felt like Christmas time here....you definitely don't get that in CA! But here are just a few pics of the snow! The ones with TONS of snow are on my cell...but you get the picture!

XOXO

5 YEARS TODAY!!!!

5 years ago today I met the man I now call my Hubbs! (the date stamp on the pix is wrong....it was a day off) The last 5 years have DEFINITELY been an adventure!!!! We both have changed so much and looking back I realize how much we have grown.

My 5 favorite memories of us are:

1. The night we met
2. Buffalo Fir and Buffalo Guts (Angie will understand)
3. Vacations we've taken (cruises, Aruba, going back East, etc)
4. Living on the East Coast....and of course
5. Our Wedding Day!!!!

Kris is an AMAZING husband and I am SOOOOOO lucky he is MINE =)
