We Made It!



Well one year that is!

We had the opportunity to celebrate our one year anniversary surrounded by family in Avon Connecticut! The weather was beautiful all weekend and we had a blast spending time with everyone. Thanks for making it special!

Memory Lane

MEMORY LANE-
This will be fun!This is just too fun to pass up.Here are the directions:
1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! I guess good or bad but be nice!!!!!!!
2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

    Ok, so it has been years since I have seen you, but I still remember when we were best friends in the Woodlands. I would always sleep over at your house, swim, watch movies, and eat junk food. They are some of the most fun memories I have (aside from the one time I ate a little too much pizza, sorry again for you having to clean that up:)

    OH, so many fun memories, Kare Bear! Many of my favorite memories come from the summer that I was staying there when Hector had his surgery. Running over the security gate at the Buddles in Bongo is a really good one. Also when you took my kids in Bongo everywhere they needed to go. . . Shrek at the drive in, Kindergarden class at Quail Hollow, taking Sammy here and there and lots of fun times at your house with that kid who was going on a mission who I can't remember his name right now! Love you Kara

    Rebekah- I am happy to say I do not remember this gruesome pizza incident... but I do remember lots of fun times and countless sleepovers! I am glad we found each other after all of these years!

    Ally! I definitely have those same memories! Some of my other favorite memories were babysitting your kids and when you used to babysit my sisters and I and of course who could forget Stone Harbor NJ?!? I am so excited for Jacob's Mission Call... have to say I feel very dated though... Lots of love!

It's a Small World Afterall.....

So Thursday before I was ready to hop a plane to Connecticut, one of my coworkers approached me and asked what my maiden name was. So I said Howes of course. He then proceeded to tell me that he had just gone to lunch with his roommate and some of his roommates friends from work. Among the group was an individual that he met for the first time. Upon introduction he asked my coworker where he worked which of course was Wasatch Advisors. Then said wow, that is weird... I just flew home from New York last night and sat next to a guy on the plane named Curt Howes whose daughter works as an accountant for Wasatch Advisors.

Creepy.... or is it just a small world afterall?
