Please welcome RUFFUS!!

Hey hey hey.... Here's Ruffus! Got him last week on my birthday. He's a Maine Coon cat. So far so good. Not too hard to take care of. And he's a cuddly little bozo. Loves attention. He's supposed to be taking care of me while Eric's deployed. Lets see how well that goes... :)

Eric leaves on Thursday July 29th 2010 for his one year tour to Afganistan. And then, its going to be me and Ruffus!

Army Ball

Had a blast at the Army Cav Ball. Got to see some military formalities that I used to hear about... Great to see all these brave men in uniform with their gorgeous spouses!

Mr. & Mrs.

Ever wonder why God gives us two?

A right hand to show the left what to do.

One ear to listen and one to hearthe problems of others,their laughter and fears.

One eye to watch and one to behold the beautiful treasures that life has to hold.

One foot to travel and one to stand tall.

Two feet to land on if we should fall.

One man to stand by a woman's side;

One woman to cherish being his bride.

The love between partners comes shining through and that is the reason God has made two.

The things we do for love....

This weekend, Eric got baptized as a Syrian Orthodox Christian. The wonderful wonderful Shibu Achan and friendly folks at the Raleigh Church helped us with this. Such a nice church family! Lucky to have found them.
Eric got this done for me so that we can go to India and get married in my church there along with my family!! What a wonderful wonderful man!
Paul and Beth accompanied us to be there for him. Had a good weekend in Raleigh with them! Also went shopping and Eric got his wedding clothes....

Our dog for a day

We went horsey riding.... :)

Eric and I went horse riding last weekend! :) Very exciting!!! Ft Bragg has its own stables and have a lot of horses there.

I got Shayla. Shayla was more interested in eating than getting some exercise though. :P She kept stopping at every point that she saw some grass to snack. In the end, we even fed them apples that we took alomg. Eric got one of the biggest horses there. I forget his name, but man, that horse was a leader.... He kept trying to get in front and gave Eric some real good gallops!! Poor Eric's butt! :P

And for those of you who don't think so.... Horse riding is also exercise! My body was pretty sore the next day after riding. Eric says we should take classes next. Lets see how that pans out.....

Very late Easter post

Well, had a couple of firsts this Easter....

We colored eggs but forgot to take pictures :P

We also got a nice Easter basket from Beth. My first Easter basket! And the great Eric started eating from it before Easter even came!!

It was very hard to keep him away from the bunnies we bought too. And finally when he opened them, he let out his frustration on one. See pics for what I mean!!

Easter is supposed to symbolize new life and a fresh start! So, here's to that for us!!!
