Trina's Wedding weekend!

My best friend from allll the way back to 7th grade, got married this weekend. Trina and Tim's wedding was awesome. We were a little chilly during the ceremony, but once we hit the reception it was all good. Had a great home cooked meal(or so it tasted) and then prepared to dance the night away. Dresses were awesome and trina and all involved looked fabulous. Here is a picture of the blanket I made for Trina and Tim:

Fibery Goodness

Yea, I stole my title from a great podcaster, Meghan from Stitch-It, she has a fantastic podcast and you should check it out. She is also the inspiration/instigator for my container garden and my Artisan bread obsession.

I went to my first fiber event yesterday the 5th of June. I went with a knitter friend and we had a blast. I bought yarn for a shawl project and some fiber and a spindle from a horrible enabler, Highland Handmades. They offered me a slight deal to encourage me to try the spinning thing. We'll see about that. It is hard and I'm trying to get my legs(or hands) under me and I figure out the process. Here is what I saw!!



He is a pretty pretty beast!!



Very cute!

Oh How Things Have Evolved.

Well, My Honey is doing great in training and is almost graduated from his second phase and ready to start the actual work(not that hours of PT and endless studying isn't work). I have been busy with my work and am so glad that summer has arrived in Maine. Winter is very brutal up here and the short days are killer.

I have started gardening and here is some evidence!
There are many more pots that are growing but I don't have that much patience to show them all.

Here is Jeremy and I at his graduation... Aren't we just fantastic together?? I sure think so! I can't wait for him to get back to Maine... still have some time left down south, but he will be here before I know it :)





I will spend time down there this summer and some in Maine. I have a good schedule now for summer, so i will be really enjoying the travel and the time with Jeremy. Woo Hoo!!

Big Changes

So life has changed quickly around Owls Head. Jeremy left for training at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC) on Super Bowl Sunday. I miss him like crazy. I miss the little things: cuddling, chatting, cooking, cleaning, running errands, etc. Never thought in my life I would want to be with someone so much. I went down to visit him over Valentine's Weekend and it was so hard to leave. Only 8 more days until I get to see him again.

He is doing so well down there. He is doing well in his classroom work and is liking what he is learning. He is working hard in PT and getting stronger every day. He feels like he is on the biggest loser with 2 Jillian's there kicking his ass. He is be even more smokin' hot then he was before! is that possible!?!?!? :)

I am one tough cookie, but am missing him so much. i keep myself busy with long days at work(like I have a choice), visiting him every other weekend and filling the other weekends with trips to see friends and family.

I have had numerous offers from friends in the Boston area for a place to stay so that I can maximize my time with Jeremy when I do get to go to him. that really makes my life easier. What great people I have surrounding me!! I couldn't get anymore lucky!!

Keep working hard, Jeremy!! I will see you soon. I miss you so terribly!! :) I love you!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

So i started a post last week with all of our christmas pictures, but I am gonna flake out and just share the facebook link:

Holidays 2009

We had a fantastic holiday season, capped with a visit from my mom, a nice low key new year's of games, rum and a quick nap before midnight(for me). We are starting our new year off right with a great vacation to the Caribbean... San Juan, St. Croix and Vieques is on the ticket!! I can't wait and we are going to have a fabulous time, I know it!

I am so lucky and blessed with my life right now. I have a wonderful man who I am sooo blessed to have be a part of my life... and 2010 is starting off right. I can't wait to see where our adventures take us... it's gonna be an exciting and dynamic year, that's for sure!!!
