Columbus Day

Tom and I both had Columbus Day off -- our first day off together in a while. We decided to go pumpkin picking...as we were driving down the road we saw a beautiful river and a place to rent kayaks so we decided to try it out. After we went kayaking we went to Tom's brothers bagel store and had a late lunch -- gyros! It was a wonderful way to spend our day off!

A New Addition

I finally convinced Tom that I needed a kitten to keep me company while he is at work. Right after I talked him into it we went on Craigs List and found a lady in Bethpage that was selling kittens. We even got one for Toms mom and she loves it! It took us a while to name her...we even looked in a baby name book. We finally settled on Bella because she is a real beauty.
Tom has never had a cat before...he's a dog person...but he sure loves Bella!

A Day in NYC

On Saturday we decided to go to the city. I have been dying to see Beauty and the Beast on Broadway and I have never been to Central Park . . . so we did both!

Family Barbeque

On August 12th we decided to have a family barbeque. We hadn't seen everyone since the wedding so we thought we would meet everyone at the beach and have hot dogs and burgers. Toms brothers Angelo and Teddy came . . . and Teddy's girlfriend. His Aunt and Uncle and their two kids Elenie and Steffon also came. Tom and I actually went in the water. It was a beautiful day and it was so refreshing to go swimming.

Yankee Game

August 11th was my birthday. I wanted to go to the city to see Beauty & the Beast but Tom's mom gave us free Yankee tickets. We decided to go to the Yankee game and save Beauty & the Beast for the next weekend. It was cool to actually watch a Yankee game at the stadium instead of on T.V.. Too bad they lost. :(

Hawaii Honeymoon

After the wedding we went to Hawaii on our honeymoon. We went to Kauai first, then to Kona on the Big Island, and then to Honolulu on Oahu. Hawaii was so beautiful. I wish we never had to come back to reality. I have never seen such a beautiful place in all my life. We spent 2 wonderful weeks there. It was so nice to just wake up each morning and have no worries. We could just be together and not have to worry about work and when we had to be where. We loved it!



Isn't Tom a hotty?


yah....we look like nerds...but it was fun!

Our Wedding Day

And the story begins . . . Tom and I were married on July 7, 2006 in the Albuquerque, NM LDS temple. Both of us are so happy that we could be married in the temple and sealed to each other and our future children for time and all eternity. We are so happy that we found each other and that we can be together forever. This day was a great start for a wonderful life yet to come.
