It's Raining!

It's raining today, which is wonderful because it's really beginning to feel a lot like Christmas! For some reason I am extra excited about the holidays this year and the cool weather just amplifies the feeling… However… not everything about the rain is so pleasant. Today when I got home from work and peaked my head out the back door, expecting to see Einstein and Maverick huddled beneath the porch, I found them frolicking in the rain. Naughty doggies! Aren't dogs supposed to hate rain? When they saw me they ran over and attempted to welcome me home by jumping into my arms. Well, this was not acceptable, so I had to dry them down with a towel and let them in the house. Gotta love that wet dog smell. Steve will love to walk into a nice smelling home after a long day at work. Poor husband. I think I've become immune at this point (my terrible head cold is helping with that). Here are some pictures of those mischievous pups.

Hello

This is our first married persons post. It’ll be the big eight months in just a few days. This first year of matrimonial bliss is literally flying by… I can’t believe how fun and easy it is being married. Steve and I both love it and are so thankful that we found each other.

This year also marks our first Christmas as husband and wife. It’ll be extra special as we will be celebrating in New York with our east coast family – or as I lovingly call them – the Italians (husband laughs at me every time I say this. But I am trying to embrace my new culture as a certified Italian). We can’t wait to see everyone and play with our beautiful little nieces. It’s been a very busy couple of weeks so we are especially excited for sleeping in and spending some time together. Its funny how little we seem to see each other now that we’re married. Hmmm... Maybe we better work on that. Here are some pics from our last time in New York this past Spring. Isn't our family wonderful?!? We can't wait to see them soon!
