"Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love." Albert Einstein

A little note to my husband...
I love you. I truly do :) Through it all, I know that I have a partner for life who will love me and support me in my darkest moments and applaud me through my greatest achievements.

Four years ago yesterday, Eric and I met for the very first time. Of course I thought he was cute (and he tells me he thought I was cute...) but nothing came of it for a while. Unbeknownst to both of us we were handling a lot in our lives at the time. Our conversations started out innocently enough - asking about work and general life. And as the time went by, and about a million emails were exchanged, a strong connection was formed.

Eric and I have stood by each other through more than most young couples. We've fought (like cats and dogs) and loved (like it's nobody's business) and the love always wins out.

My amazing husband sent me the most beautiful circus roses to mark the anniversary of the day we first met, and I was deeply touched. For us, we have no "dating" anniversary. Ours was a relationship that just grew - so this marks a special occassion for us. The day that I feel blessed to have met my match.

Our first anniversary is coming up and we can't believe it's been a year. We're both so thankful for our families and friends who are there to support us, make us laugh and who make everyday of our life so worthwhile.

We hope to see you all SOON!

GFAW :)

Aptly named, our GFAW nights include lots of good food and wine...it just so happens that gfaw is also indicative of the enormous amount of laughter that is produced when we're all in a room together. I'm still waiting for the photos that Bob took at our house in February but here are some from the last GFAW (april @ Pri and Anthony's house). It was a blast!















It's never a good thing when Ms. Pri has that look on her face...let's hope she didnt rename the child "bubbalicious"

















Even Annalie, at her young age, is thinking "What in the world is this woman doing to me?!"
(you know I love you Pri)

















The three ladies with no child related responsibilities stopped to take a shot (a photo!! not the other kind)








while lil miss slept...so angelic

All I needed was the rain...

It's that kind of night (hell it's been that kind of day) where you just want to sit in your pjs and snuggle with the dogs and watch tv. I sat down to check my email and realized that I had neglected to post photos of our closet redo as well as to post about the Coulianidis hosted GFAW!
I'm pretty sure that our 'good food and wine' (hence GFAW) night was in late April - the 23rd I believe and Miss Annalie Lucia Brice made her first appearance at our dinner party. You know that we're all friends like family and it's a beautiful thing when our dinner circle begins to expand with little ones...forcing us to put a place setting of a bottle and pacifier at the table :)
So I'd like to share some photos with you - first of the crash boom closet redo and then of the lovely Annalie...she's an amazing baby with so much love around her. I can't wait to spoil her rotten like a good aunt should! If I have technical difficulties (which I often do) I may have to post the GFAW photos separately, let's see how it goes!

This is, of course, after we emptied and gutted the closet as best we could....

Eric put up some new hardware...

the lovely wood floor (ahem ahem) in the closet...though I WOULD like to know what the heck that slanty thingy is...

YAY! New, clean closet with a new light and carpet!!

Of course Ginger helped A LOT during the re-do process. Morgen was absolutely nowhere to be found, as usual; since she usually hides from the mamarazzi.

This was Ginger's gift to her Daddy for giving her Mommy a new closet. Honestly, I'm pretty sure that this is how Eric wakes up EVERY morning :)

And here's the closet team resting after a long night's work. Ginger's in her usual position and so is Morgen - she just can not bring herself to look at the camera. So instead, she tried to make herself look like Eric's hat.
