Boston, MA

Boston, Massachusettes
Jody and I have been having a great summer so far! We had the opportunity to fly out to Boston for the past week and check it out here!! It is AMAZING!! The east coast is definitely a whole different experience! We landed Wednesday and have been having so much fun! Thursday, we went to downtown Boston and walked the Freedom Trail and visited Faneuil Hall! They say more people go there then Disneyland so it was fun to see what that was all about! They had great entertainment, shops, and lots of history! Friday, Jody had to work so Missi and I went to the beach with her kids!! I LOVE the beach and her kids so that has probably been the best part so far! Saturday, we went to some great outlet shops that have all the great stores and went to seewhich was a GREAT movie!!! You definitely need to see it if you haven't already!

Anniversary ....

June 17, 2006 I married not only the love of my life but my best friend!!!I can't begin to describe in words how grateful I am for such a wonderful husband in my life!! Jody is such an amazing man with so many great qualities and I'm thankful everyday to share these 3 wonderful years of marriage with him!! It seems like yesterday, we were getting married and so in love.... but it's amazing how that love grows through all the joys and trials of our short time together!

To celebrate for our big day...we flew out to Viva Las Vegas!!! I know everyone's thinking why Vegas... but Jody has an event Thursday, Friday, and Saturday here so we decided to just fly in a few days early and enjoy Vegas as a real tourist and we did just that! We normally are on our big vacation for the year by now, but with Jody's crazy work schedule this month, it's being postponed until August! Tuesday Morning, Jason and Krystal were here visiting so they picked us up from the airport and we all had lunch! It was so great to see them! They dropped us off at The GREEN VALLEY RANCH and it is beautiful! We got ready for the night and took a taxi to the strip to hit the town! We did lots of shopping, ate some great sushi, and enjoyed seeing all the casino's!

Update....

Life has been so crazy lately.... I feel like we are living life in fast forward right now and trying to keep on top of it all but I guess that's how life goes sometimes!!

Jody was in NY last weekend doing a business trip that was CRAZY!! He quit his job last week and I still can't believe it!! He came up here for a One Year Internship, and ended up being the COO (Chief of Operations) of the company, and has learned more then he could ever imagine!! It has been such great educating experience for him but he has finally decided to go out on his own completely! I'm trying to be SO supportive of him while he conquers everything he has worked so hard for! I know he is going to do GREAT ... and I'm excited for all the opportunities that have come with his transition, and not so excited for a few but there's always a disadvantage to a great oppertunity!

The traveling is going to be the hardest part about the whole change!! We were planning all his events out for this month and every Thurs, Fri and Sat he is somewhere different! NY, LA, Boston, and Vancouver just in the month of June! I know it's only a couple days of the week and when he's home, he's home but it's not very fun to spend a couple nights alone!! When he flew in late Sunday night after his crazy NY trip, I tried waiting up but fell asleep and woke up to this beautiful note expressing his love and gratitude for me and these pretty roses he picked from our front yard!
Seriously, that was probably the last thing he wanted to do after a crazy trip, a long flight, and a drive home at 2 in the morning but for someone who doesn't get roses but only once a year...LOVED it! Thanks Babe for always reminding me in some way, why I have the best husband in the world and for loving me so much!!!
