I'm going to have a bit of surgery on friday. Right now I'm trying to get my house ship shape for when I'm out of commission.
Think good thoughts for me. Until then, here's a little ray of sunshine for everyone.
Keira Bella Dennison.
My cousin Maureen's baby.
Isn't she a doll?
Cheers

So tomorrow is our 8th wedding anniversary. I think we have reached a comfortableness in our relationship that was not there before. It's a good kind of comfortableness, not a boring one.
We like each other immensely. We get along very well. But most of all we make a great team.
Thats the most important. I think that we have both grown tremendously since we met. We have allowed each other to explore things that we may never have if we were alone.
But again what I have realized, in this coming of our 8th anniversary, is that as a team we are better than we are sperate. We have a better life, happier times and lot's more fun.
Like yin and yang we just work together. Don't get me wrong there have been plenty of bumps in the road. Year 7 was not a walk in the park. But one year later looking back, I see that everyone needs those bumps. So that we can see what is really, really important to us and how sticking together and working through the rough spots and being a team is what love and life is all about.

Here are more photos from that day....

About two weeks ago we had a lovely weekend when my Cousin Katie and her husband Rodney visited with their two boys. The Kids are on soccer teams and every May they have the finals here in Wilmington. It's a great family reunion. They stayed at a beautiful hotel right on the beach.
After the games were over we sat by the hotel pool sipping cocktails with the family. My Mom and Aunt hung out and my Uncle came down from NJ to see his Grandchildren play. It was a beautiful day with fabulous weather and a great family to hang out with.

Today is going to be a hot one. I just checked the weather and it say 96 by 3:00.
Jeff has a cold. I'm taking care of him to get him all better. I imagine it's from all the AC cranking. I guess we will go hang out at the pool when he gets home from work. It's so lovely to have the pool and also to be so close to the beach.
I have to take a ride downtown later. I'll take some photos and put them up tomorrow.
I usually meet Shawna downtown at Port City Java for a quick coffee and a chat. It's one of my favorite things to do. Wilmington has quite a few cafes. It's not uncommon to walk into a cafe for a quick cup and bump into some friends and have a quick chat. It's great. You always see someone you know. Not to mention the coffee is great too. Here are some pics of Wrightsville Beach... Oh yea, that's Leonard at the beach. He likes the sand but is not to crazy about the waves trying to wet his paws. He runs away when the water comes near him. He is very silly.

Here is Jeff doing his thing for Radio La Gran D.
He is producing local commercials to be broadcast on the station.
This is one of his favorite things to do. He loves his new job.
He's getting tons of great experience and he looks super cute sitting at the board.
Stay tuned for great things to come...

Here are some pictures from our memorial day party and from last weekend hanging out by the pool with friends. That's Jeff and Tucker (He's in Jeff's band "The Clams") and Barbara and Tim, neighbors. Then there is Josh, Dylan (Clams) and our neighbor Zelito jamming in the living room. The last picture is our good friends Shawna and her husband Rich and Matt (where's Alison? She must be sunning herself by the pool.) We live in a great place with a lovely pool.
We really take advantage of the beachie lifestyle here and have as many parties and get togethers with friends as we can. The Wilmington look is.... flip flops, shorts with a slight coconut suntan lotion smell. It's a nice life.

So I started up this blog and then I put the ball down. So here I am again blogging away.
My friend Shawna seems to want me to pick that ball back up. She has been emailing me,
instant messaging me on myspace, whatever, just to get be back on the stick.
Soon she will be channeling me through my dreams. She's a writer and teaches writing.
So she has a lot of respect for the written word and it's magical powers. So here it is Shawna...
I've picked up the ball and I will not put it down again. Here's a picture of Shawna at
Flaming Amys Burrito Barn. She loooooooovvvvveeeeeesssssssss herself some hot sauce
almost as much as she loves the written word. Thanks Shawna
