How we know Robin is coming in town...

Ladies and Gentlemen...our wine rack is full for the first time that we have been in this house...haha!!! Neither of us drink wine, but we made sure we have a full rack (of wine, that is) for when Senora Robincita arrives!!! The only bottle that is NOT allowed to be consumed is the "Manny Being Merlot" bottle of wine that I bought BEFORE the Red Sox won the World Series. That is officially our "good luck" wine bottle.

Happy 3 Years!!!

Three years ago yesterday, I went on a first date with a woman who is the most amazing woman I have ever met. I had no idea that three years later, I would be reflecting on our first date, our present life together, and all the time in between. I know that three years may not seem that long to my parents, who have been married for 34 years, or Stacey and Brian (11 years) but all the happily married couples were together for only three years at one point. Whether you were together for 6 months, a year, 3 years, 11 years, or 34 years, those feelings remain the same. Every time you look into your significant other's eyes you see and feel the same love that existed at the start. You just know that you have truly found your soul mate.

I love that we have a home together...I love that we have two (soon to be three) dogs together... and I love that Cindy pointed out the fact that for every year we have been together we have adopted another dog...lol. But seriously, I love knowing that I come home to a house filled with the same kind of love that existed in the home I grew up in...the same kind of love that my parents had for each other and that I always longed for in a partner. So, thank you to my parents for showing me what real love is, for always reminding me of what I am worth and what I deserve, and most of all for accepting the woman I love into your home and your hearts.

And of course, thank you to Cindy for being as amazing as she is. There is no other word to describe such a kind-hearted individual who would do anything for anybody. I love her with all my heart! Happy Anniversary Babe!

My Halloween Costume

Here is a couple of pictures of me dressed as a television thief...ahem...a.k.a my next door neighbor.

WORLD CHAMPS 2007!!!

Wow, so the last few weeks have been extremely exhausting. I'm pretty sure that every Red Sox fan is physically, mentally, and emotionally drained. However, it was worth every freakin' minute because we got the trophy!!!!

Yesterday was just a amazing day for me. Cindy and I got up around 11, had breakfast and took the dogs for a walk around D.W. Field. When we got back to the house there was a message on our voicemail from a dog shelter saying that she wanted to speak with us about a dog we applied for. Her name is currently Sarah, she is a boxer mix, 12 weeks old, and only 10 pounds. She was rescued from a rural high-kill shelter and she is currently in a foster home in Tennessee. She is being brought to Massachusetts next Wednesday and pending a house check, she will be all ours by Friday!!! We are going to name her Jacoby, after Jacoby Ellsbury. Yes, I am well aware that Jacoby is a boy's name, but #1 I like the name and #2 who cares if a girl has a boy's name? After we got that news, Cindy took me to Best Buy to get a brand new computer for my birthday.

We came home, made dinner, and had some friends over for the Sox game. Of course, the Sox won the World Series and just made my day complete. Now, I will be HIGHLY pissed off if the Sox do not sign Mike Lowell and decide to attempt to sign A-Rod instead. So, the Sox better do the right thing and sign their World Series MVP!!!

ALCS Game 7

Cindy and I decided to have a Red Sox bash on Sunday night. We had Matt, Stacee, her husband, and her kids over. Of course, I insisted that everyone put on Red Sox gear. Since I have enough Red Sox shirts for a small army, I ran upstairs, got all my shirts, and forced everyone to put them on.

I got really nervous when the Sox were up 3-2 so I decided to bust out my cookie tradition. I started it back in 2004 and I swear that it works. Basically, everyone gets a chocolate chip cookie. You have to hold the cookie in your mouth until the Red Sox score a run. It sounds crazy, but as soon as we put those cookies in our mouths, the runs started coming!!!

Tonight our neighbors Shelley & Dana are coming over so we are going to be having some more Red Sox fun! Go Red Sox! Rock those Rockies!!!

Baby Apollo

I found this video of our baby boy when he was only 3 months old. We were both cracking up so we just had to share it. The sound that you hear is Apollo growling at a bone...haha...I want another puppy!!!
