The New Do

I cut bangs and highlighted my hair almost a month ago now.. it's almost time to cut again! Ty's been wanting me to post this for a while but lets be honest.. I'm not the best blogger. Anyway, here's the new do....

More Pics...

We got to spend some time at the DC temple and it was AMAZING! I really love this temple. We were able to meet up with my good friend Danielle and Ty's FBI friend Rich. It was so much fun getting to hang out with them for the day!





We went up to Ty's mission on Cinco de Mayo and they had a really fun festivities!


My dad shredded the ligaments in his arm playing basketball and had to have surgery, so he wasn't able to participate in bowling, but he was a very good sport and cheered us on from the side lines :)

Vacationing...

One really awesome benefit of working at the school my husband attends is that we get time off at the same time. This allows us to do what we love most... TRAVEL!! Tyrone was able to go to Florida for a week and then we both went to PA for 10 days to see my family. It was such a blast! We were able to go to the DC temple and get some of Ty's family names done and meet up with some good friends. We were also able to go see my amazing Grandmother in New York and visit Ty's mission in Harrisburg! One thing I love about home is how close everything is! We were so busy, the trip went by way to fast and I of course didn't get near enough time with my little nieces! They are so grown up now, almost like little girls instead of little babies :( I took my camera and got a ton of pictures so I hope you all enjoy!!

So Confusing!

The weather out here is SO confusing. This past week we've had weather in the 60's all week. It's been amazing! A much needed change from the 19 below weather we had been getting a couple weeks ago (yeah, that's right...19 below). Anyway, Friday was a little chilly but nothing to crazy. We met up with some friends that night, and I only had my lab coat on over my clothes (from work) and Ty didn't have a jacket at all. We were both pretty cold, but again, nothing crazy.. with a jacket we would have been fine. I say all this to give you an idea of how surprised we were to wake up Saturday morning to the worse snow storm we've seen so far since we've been here! We couldn't even see out of our window it was snowing so hard! We found out that they don't plow our neighborhood so we weren't able to get out in our little focus and the run errands that we needed to, but we were still able to have some fun. These days really make us ready for some little ones to play with!!

Valentines Day

I hope everyone had a wonderful Valentines Day and were able to show the ones you love (whether it be a husband, wife, father, mother.. or just a great friend) how much you love them!

Valentines Day for us was pretty low key. We mostly celebrated on Friday so we could avoid the crowds on Saturday. We did go out to Breakfast at Ty's favorite spot, The Crackel Barrel, and that's when he surprised me with THIS!....

A NEW CAMERA!! I felt a little sheepish, because I had only gotten him a cowboy's hat.. but the camera was much needed. He said he was tired of me not posting because I didn't have pictures. So now I have no excuse :)

I'm still trying to master the different features but these are some pics I took this morning of some of the flowers he bought for me..


It's been really fun to play with, I just hope that I can remember to bring it places!

Birthday Fun

The first week in February brought lots of birthday fun! I had the chance of celebrating the birth of three of my favorite people all within a couple of days of each other! I have to first give a birthday shout out to my wonderful, beautiful mother. She has always been such an inspiration and example to me! Thank you mom for your love an support through all the years! I love you!


The next B-day shout out goes to my oldest besty Tiffany! Thanks for always being there for me through out the years Tiffy!



And last but not least, my wonderful husband Ty. We've been married for almost 2 years and I couldn't ask for a better man to be married to. Through all the ups and downs, I feel so lucky to have you by side. I love you, for all the little things you do to make my life just that much better. I love you sweethart.. for time and all eternity.

The Munchkins

Here are the latest pics of my adorable nieces.. I miss them SOOO much!! Dominique is the one with the giant purple bow on her head and Gizelle is the one with the even bigger pink bow. Only the cutest babies ever could get away with those bows!!


My mom said their eyes have finally made the switch from blueish green to straight up green! They are now the exact color of their dad, so hopefully they will stay that way!
