Enough already!

Ok... ok have you had enough yet??? well luckily I'm done for the day:) Hope you aren't too overwhelmed!

Just a few of my faves

Seattle

Here are a few pics. from one of our trips to Seattle... love the city scape of Seattle...love that space needle

...& a glorious picture of me on the ferry:)

Wait... what's that

Could this possibly be a picture of our (dare I say it)... wood stove. Why yes... your eyes are not deceiving you, that is our wood stove... installed... with fire... in our living room! It only took... hmmm... 6 months and self installation!

Oh well at least we are now free from any contact with the former owners of OUR house... but their mail is still being sent to OUR mailbox (can you explain that to me???) and they think we're going to hand-deliver???

I've had a LOT of jobs people, but I don't recall POSTAL WORKER being one of them... do you????? :)

Luke's job... fun.... fun...

Here are some pics of luke "working" ... it looks like fun huh??? (not so much) Any way... I'm playing catchup... i just figured out how to get our pics. from here to there so you are getting your more post wishes (all in the matter of an hour) then you know i won't post again for a month or two :)

Pics of our baby

So this is our Angie... isn't she getting sooooo big??? And she's even bigger now since these were taken in Jan. ... please note the vera bradley collar... as if you all didn't know that she would be the most stylish dog on the block:) Don't let these pics fool you... she is as obnoxious as she is cute:) but we love her!

WW 2 (the weigh in)

Well friends... here's our weigh in ~ drum roll please:)
Melyssa's weight loss for the week of 2/18... 2.6 pounds (sweet huh:)) I no longer hate weight watchers!!! I am supper excited!!!
Lucas's weight loss... 2 lbs ... haha i win ... just kidding ~ over all he wins:)

and yes... these are the exciting blogs you get to look forward to... aren't you sooo glad we moved to WA to share this ever so important news with all of you... hehehe

ps... I keep promising you all photos and I really do promise to do them at some point...

Pink, is my favorite color....

We've gone pink... more my decision than Luke's ~ it really is my favorite color lately... never thought of myself as a pink girl although I am the ultimate girly girl so I'm not sure why I've been so anti pink before... well not anymore.... I'm a barbi girl in a barbi world(Port Angeles):)

Weight Watchers

So Luke & I started Weight Watchers this past week... very exciting. Until today... I am STARVING and I can't eat anything... but air! no b-fast... tuna blah sandwich for lunch and some low-fat pizza (yuck) for dinner. oh ya... and enough water to float a whale! I'm peeing every 5 seconds which is much worse than my usual every minute! Where are my burgers and fries ~ I want them back!!!!!
Any who... no loss for me for our 1st 3 days... Luke's down 5lbs. (he sucks!!!) I think even Angie has lost about a pound:)
I'll keep you posted on our progress... or lack there of! (at least for me)

Bad blogger... that's me:)

Ok... ok... ok.... I know that I am not the best at keeping up with my posts on this blog... oops:) What am I doing with all my time you may wonder... Nothing!!! Which is why I have absolutely nothing to keep you all posted on I guess:)

Let's see... weather is good 40's-50's ~ not a snowflake in sight:)

Angie is growing ... growing... growing:) I 'm trying to get more recent pics of her up on the computer & on the sight but we're having problems getting our pics from the cam. into the computer while using the same program we've been using so that all our photos are in the same spot! Any way... this brings me to the exciting topic of our NEW cam. .... we got a real camera (not that I'm sure as to what a fake cam. is:)) anywho... we got a cannon digital rebel & we LOVE it!!! its so much fun to take pics and have them turn out really nice... even though our last cam. wasn't that old (or that bad) the pics. that we were taking just were not turning out that great! any way... I've talked way too much about this...

well... other than that nonsensical nonsense... not much is going on... sorry to disappoint:)

Change of scenery

Well since it's a new year... I figured it was time for a change on the blog. Easiest way to do that ~ change up the background... hence the new green color... I think I like it:)

Any who... got our new camera in the mail a couple weeks ago! wooo hooo!!! we are still getting used to using it since it has lots of fun new features we've never had before! Luke's taken it to work every duty period so I haven't really had a chance to play with it yet... as soon as I get a chance I'll post some fun new pics. (hopefully I can alter them, just have to learn how... if I feel like getting a little crazy:))

For those of you who are unaware of our ERIA (estimated Rhode Island Arrival) hehehe ... I crack my self up... we can chalk this one up to the Coasties with all their silly acronyms:) Any way what was I saying.... I even lost track on that side-track.... we are planning on coming home for my cousin Laura's wedding (can't wait for it by the way!!!) which just so happens to fall on my B-day... couldn't have planned it better myself hahahaha! so we will be home for the grand ol' 28 ( can't believe that I'm sooooooooo close to the 3-0!!!!!!!!!) so as of right now the plan is to get back to RI @ some point during the last week in may & my plan (again... as of right now) is to spend the whole month of june in RI (this is not going over well with Luke ~ or Angie... even though she doesn't know it yet:)) so you can all drop what you're doing for the whole month to fit my schedule... right:) heheheheheheeeee! no... but i really do want to make sure we have time for everyone!!! we miss you ALL so much.

Well .... enough comedy act from me... next post i promise pics... of what who knows????

Happy 2007

Hey all... just wanted to wish you a happy new year! Since most of you will be celebrating 3hrs. earlier than us ~ have a good one!!

As far as resolutions... none @ this house! Everythings going pretty well ... life's good even if we're far, far, far away from home!

I'm just going to try to keep up my new thing... visiting the gym (hopefully this will continue... I'm trying very hard to lose my little tum tum:) which the Holiday Season has not helped with)

Wish you all a Happy, Safe and Successful New Year! xoxoxo

Playing Catch-up

Ok ... ok.... So I just posted 3 posts in a row ... oh wait make that 4 :)i'm definitely realizing that I had a ton to catch-up on! so from now on I will TRY my hardest to do this whole updating a little more frequently so as to not overload you w/ info. hehehe

Oh Christmas Tree ... etc. etc.:)

Our first Christmas not only in WA state... but our first Christmas
together (as married people) where we actually picked out and decorated our tree together:)

As you all remember this time last year I was sick as a dog ... the word "Honeymoon" ring any bells??? Any way... much healthier & happier this Christmas!!! And thanking god that we didn't take any vacations this year hehehe:)

Well I won't make you wait any longer... Christmas tree pics ( it's tiny but it's CUTE:)) Please note... still no fireplace!!! oh and also just how adorable Angie is:)

Surf's up dude:)

As many of you already know... via the news etc. we have had some major storms in the last month or so... fun fun! So here are some pics Luke took out @ his station of the last "rain storm" aka Hurricane (that would be the North East term any who) that we had... bye the way... that's a 30ft. wave up there... yeah that would be 3o ft. high (oh boy)

FIRE!!!!!!

Ok... let me set the scene. A week or so ago on a Thursday night @ 8:30pm Luke and I were watching tv when we hear a siren for about a 1/2 hour going off and getting closer and closer to our house. We start looking @ each other like "is our house on fire and we just don't know it???"

As the fire truck gets even closer we start to hear a voice over what seems to be a loud-speaker @ this point we have our ears pressed to our skylight upstairs to hear exactly what was going on... Luke looks @ me and says " I think they're saying Merry Christmas" well then we start hearing Christmas music blaring over the loud speaker as well as this guy (maybe Santa) is saying Merry Chirstmas!

SO we rush downstairs - throw our shoes & coats on and run outside... creeping up our road is a fire truck light up... blaring country christmas songs w/ Santa on top with the loud speaker and about 20-30 people hanging off the truck. We took a pic... didn't come out so well but you'll get the gist of it... boy did we move to a STRANGE town:)

A little surgery

Angie had surgery 2 weeks ago today, she got spayed... no puppies for her:( these pics are from the day after when I unfortunately had to go to work and she had to wear THE CONE!!! This pic by the couch is when she looked @ me and turned her head away as if to say... mom you sooo better stop taking my picture -
don't you know how pissed I am at you right now:)
She's still a cutie ~ cone and all!
