Our First Anniversary!

It's so weird to say first anniversary since we've been together for 9 years! It's also nice to have firsts again! Happy Anniversary Babey! I love you! This year has been wonderful and I've enjoyed every minute of it! The good the bad and the ugly haha. I cannot imagine my life any other way than with you in it. I sure did not think that the year would go by as quickly as it did. One year down a lifetime to go!

My Fearless Bridals (aka TTD)

In July I was fortunate to be able to work with the amazing Rachel from Merge Weddings! She has this project called Juxtaposition going on and I was able to wear my wedding dress again and parade around Boston! It was so much fun!

I took pictures at the New England Aquarium, Fanueil Hall, and George's Island. People keep asking if I was getting married, if I was in a magazine and where my groom was (Cory unfortunately had to work). I felt like a celebrity and I felt beautiful!

Rachel is going to be publishing a book with these photos and I'm so excited about it!! Here's the link to my photos!!

Happy Birthday Bosco!!

Today's my puppy's first birthday! And I'm so excited Cory and I were joking that maybe we should have a birthday party for him next week (Bruno's birthday is a week from today). Although I think Cory was pretty serious, lol.





Happy Birthday Bosco mommy and daddy love you!

My Sunroom

Before I painted it was ugly wood paneling!! I thought I'd be green and just paint over it since we had what I thought was white paint in the basement that was left here when we bought the house.

When I opened up the "white" paint it was actually yellow and that wasn't going to work since my mom is making me curtains that are very girly but they're white and light blue (I'll post pics; i promise)

After: The room looks so much bigger! I love it! The painted wood paneling gives the sunroom character.

I can't wait to finish the room I'd like to add a daybed to it for some seating!

Our current seating! My papasan chair I love it and so do our dogs!! See my little Bosco to the right

Bruno psyched to be able to finally be able to lay in the sun. The room was closed off to the dogs for the last 3 days

New Bathroom!!

So I came into some extra money when I left my old job and decided to spend that money on a 1/2 bath for our home. I figured why not invest that money so that when we do sell we'll make more on our property. We are putting in our 1/2 bath in our laundry room we wanted to put in a shower but it was going to cost us too much b/c we'd have to dig through the foundation in order to make it drain properly.

Our home only has one bathroom and it totally stinks to only have a bathroom. Whenever we have friends over there's always a line not to mention we have a walk-out basement so by having the extra bathroom in the basement no one really has to come upstairs to use the other bathroom and it would so help to keep our home clean (mud always gets tracked in)

Cory starting the work

the walls are up =)

I'll post more pics after we put up the sheet rock and paint!! Help me pick a color for my laundry and 1/2 bath! I'd love for it to be pink and girly since I do most of the laundry!

Kiss 108 Concert --NKOTB

So on Sunday May 18, 2008 after loving the NKOTB since I was a child I finally got to see them in concert! I can't even describe how excited I was! It's all I could talk about I was basically shaking in anticipation. I pulled out my old t-shirt and brought it with me -- not that I could fit into it anyway.

When they came out I screamed my head off! I lost my voice for 2 days; it was so worth it! The guys still look fantastic! Donnie is so HOT!!! They brought the house down! Everybody was screaming. I even yelled at a teenager walking in front of me b/c she was taking so long to walk past me and I couldn't see the guys. I said "Will you hurry up I've waiting 20 years to see these guys!"

My best friend said to me that she thought I was more excited for the NKOTB than my own wedding! She may have been right, lol. Cory of course doesn't understand what it's like to finally see your childhood crush after so many years! I had so much fun that day. I'm planning on going to another NKOTB concert.

I still cannot believe they're going on tour! =)

OH and the rest of the concert was really good too!

So that's my boyfriend Donnie in the center I love him!! Sorry the pic quality sux!
