The Boys New Haircut

When I got back from the cruise, the boys had gotten a haircut, goodbye long hair. They looked like such cute little men. Their hair is much shorter now and we have been keeping it like that, it was so long when Corey and I first started dating if you look back to the Spring 2008 Pictures I posted of the kids. Here are few pictures of them with their new haircut, their new PJ's I got them and their turtles I got them in St.Thomas.

Looking Back on Summer 2008

This past summer besides enjoying the nice warm weather which I am beyond ready for right now, as I look out the window at inches and inches of snow....we did a few small things together and I took a cruise with my parents.


The cruise was beyond amazing, I had never been on a cruise before and loved every minute of the relaxing vacation. It definitley wasn't a vacation that you get home from and you feel like you need a vacation from your vacation....it was actually R&R. Our cruise took us from Miami, to the Bahamas, then to St.Thomas then to St.Martin (St.Maarten). The islands were beautiful and although I missed Corey while I was gone...experiencing a relaxing cruise is something everyone should do if they haven't yet.




Something else we did this summer was take the boys on a few day trips, we did the Air and Space Museum with them, which they thought was a lot of fun, looking at all the big big planes, and of course getting some astronaut ice cream. The next trip we took them on was to Ocean City for the day, unfortunatley I was in anti-camera mode for the day and I didn't get any pictures which I regret now...but this year I will definitley be better about that. The last trip we took them on before Nathan's school started up again was the Baltimore Aquarium for the day. The kids were on cloud nine there, they thought everything was sooooo cool from the HUGE turtles to the tiny tropical fish . I got one good picture of Corey and the boys that day (below), the rest were pictures of fish for Nathan I took.

Life Has Been Changing

A lot has happen in the past year and continues to change everyday, so I decided to write this blog so everyone can keep up with the changes with me....lets get started.

Almost a year ago (March 26th) to be exact, I started dating a wonderful man, Corey Taylor.

We of course had met a year and half prior when he did one of my tattoos, we stayed in contact over the year and half leading up to last February 2008.....that's when Corey and I actually met each other out at Neds where he met Matt and a few of my other friends.

After that we starting hanging out more and more...then we just clicked and at the end of March 2008 we were together......Almost a year has passed since we started hanging out and he still makes me incredibly happy. Not only did I get a great guy, but Corey has two great boys Nathan who is 6 and will be 7 in April, and Braden who just turned 3 in February. Here are few pictures below of the boys last year in the Spring. Braden was 2 and Nathan was 5 (almost 6).
