new to this. news to you.

i've decided to start blogging... or web logging as it stands for. it's a way to share whats going on in life with my friends and family. it's also going to allow me to look back and say, remember when..

[right now my husband is cooking dinner. he's also singing an old seal song for some reason. lol. i'm watching him over my laptop screen]

so let's catch up..

zachary & jennifer met in 2006 while working for delta air lines. beginning just as coworkers, then friends..the connection grew stronger. we made eachother happy. it was effortless and easy. we connected on many levels. we talked about life. about our hopes and dreams. we established a foundation. our values, our interests. a year later, we were engaged.

christmas eve, dec 24, 2007, we exchanged gifts. we were supposed to have a budget. as we opened, i found hand-knitted red mittens and matching scarf!  i had talked about wanting these and he had enlisted the help of a co-worker, sandy. i instantly threw them on my hands and to my suprise there was something inside!! it was the most beautiful ring. white gold with three large diamonds, and diamonds down the band also. fast forward to may 15, 2009. friday evening wedding at st. patrick's church in enfield, ct, with the reception following at school street bistro in westfield, ma. it was the most wonderful day. our honeymoon was a cruise to the bahamas and key west.

a week later, we were off to oklahoma city, ok for the summer. we were chasing zach's dream. he was going to train to become an air traffic controller. and i was going to enjoy some time off. while in okc, we decided to get a puppy.. enter piper. she's a black lab/basset hound mix. we got her at 9 weeks old. she and i spent a lot of time together in okc............(cliffs notes version)........in september we moved to the albany, ny area where zach would be stationed. we then rescued another pup... enter radar. hes a husky/australian sheperd mix.

bringing you up to date.. piper is 8 mo's old today. her birthday is may 14, 2009, the day before we got married. radar is approx. 5 mo's old, but since we rescued him, the exact dates are a little vague. we like to think he was born aug 19 which was my father's birthday. :)

so here we are living happily ever after in watervliet, ny.

that's enough for now.
