Photo Shoot

Some just for fun, some for our one year anniversary, one day we took off to Jeremy's grandpa's field and did a little photo shoot with our wedding photographer, and sister-in-law, Amanda. She did such great work, again! 

 

One of my favorites : )

Love this one too : )

REALLY love this one! : )

Love him!

Thanks again, Amanda!

Misc. Fun

Ok, back to our NY visit! : )

I missed out on so many pictures without my camera, but was able to snap a few with my phone of Uncle Jeremy and his little mini-him.

 

 

Followed him around everywhere and did everything he did : )

 

  

Had some fun with Ryan's gun...

 

 

Some fun on the water...

& of course the 4-wheeler : )

& tuckered the little guy right out mid-play.....

Jeremy and I were quoting him and thinking of all the crazy stuff he does the whole drive back. We already miss him and everyone so much and we have only been back a week!

August 3, 2012

I had to take a break from my NY posts, 

because a year ago today something pretty awesome happened : )

I married the love of my life, my best friend...

& today we are still going strong, happier and more in love (who knew that could be possible!) than one year ago : )

I can't believe it has been a year!
Time sure flies when you're having fun!
Thank you, for being the best man for me. Thank you for being patient on the long days, understanding on the difficult days, fun on the adventurous days, spontaneous on the boring days, but mostly, for being loving every day. I never knew that I could be this happy or feel so loved. What fun we have had this past year, going on adventures and making memories. I can't wait for the years to come at the best place in the world, right by your side. No matter where life takes us I will always be home as long as I'm with you.

I love you Jeremy Kyle Thomas!
Thank you for making me your Mrs. : )

Too long.....

While being "home" (I think have 3 homes hahaha) we were able to see people that I haven't seen in SO long, at least since Christmas if not since we got married!

One of my best friends/sister, Sami <3

 

One of my dads <3

 

  

Another best friend, Rachel <3 

 

Another best friend, Meg <3

 

While we were home for Christmas we only had one week. It went by so fast and there wasn't enough time to see everyone that we wanted to. Having two weeks this time I thought it would be so much better. While we got to see pretty much everyone we wanted to, we still only got to spend a couple hours with friends, which is NEVER enough! Still, very thankful that we were able to squeeze some time in with these great people (plus others that I didn't snap pictures with : ) 

New York!

We were supposed to leave for New York Friday night after I got off of work, but I had worked two doubles at the beginning of the week so I got someone to cover my Friday afternoon shift and we took of on Thursday. Pretty much everyone knew about this except my parents. We got in and went to see Jeremy's family. After spending some time there we took of to go surprise my parents. I called them when we left and acted like we were just leaving South Carolina (I wanted to make sure they would be home so I casually asked what their plans were, etc). I wish I had my camera to take a picture of mom's face when we pulled in. She was very thankful that we saved her a night full of worrying about us driving! LOL Since we surprised them, we also crashed their date night hahaha So we took off to go to dinner and the drive-ins! 

Despicable Me 2 and White House Down!

While we were at the drive-ins my sister came into town and since Saturday was the Potsdam festival we woke up the next day at headed off to spend the day together! It was so much fun to just be with family, walking around familiar territory LOL While we were there I got to see one of my best friends/sister. We hung out for a while and then watched the parade, which she was in. It was our first time getting to see her perform and she did amazing!

 

 

 

Then, that night we hung out with my parents and watched their pastor, our friend and the man that married us, perform with his band. How many of you can say that the man that married them is in a band?! Pretty cool!!!! : )

 

Just a little heads up, I left my camera in South Carolina, so all of these pictures are coming from my phone and there aren't that many of them : ( And my awesome half-broken-not-sure-how-it's-still-working computer won't let me steal them from Facebook either so, the next few posts is all you get : ) 

4th of July in the South!

Just a visit from us Southerners to tell you how the South celebrates the 4th of July! : ) LOL Luckily, I was able to have the day off, so we spent the majority of the morning doing absolutely nothing. I got a bunch of my scrap booking done and Jeremy worked on his video game skills : ) For dinner we made a yummy homemade pizza...

 

 

 

We were going to go to the beach to watch fireworks but the weather here has been really rainy so we didn't really want to chance it, plus by the time we actually thought about doing it we figured parking would be insane. Then we were just going to go to the local fireworks but we soon found out that those had been cancelled due to the weather. I had heard about a firework show in Mount Pleasant (about 40 minutes from us) right in the bay where the USS Yorktown is anchored. They sold tickets for people to actually sit on the deck to watch the show! So, I got the bright idea that we should go to "my bridge" to watch the fireworks! You all remember my bridge, right? 

 

I have been wanting to walk it for a really long time, so what better time? Well, when we got there, found parking and walked towards the bridge, we realized that they had the pedestrian walkway closed during the fireworks. BUT, there was a path going underneath the bridge that a bunch of people were going to so we decided to go investigate. What do you know - there is a pier under my bridge! You can kinda see it in the picture above actually, on the right hand side. So, we found a seat (next year we will know to bring chairs!) and waited for the show to start!!!

Our perfect view, with the USS Yorktown in the distance...

All of the boats in the water....kinda hard to see, but there were a ton!

 

I'm kinda surprised they let them all be there! We actually think they even shut the bridge down for the fireworks, too, although i'm not sure how they could do that, but we never heard any traffic going over us the whole time and when the finale was going on and all of the smoke, i'm not sure how anyone driving on the bridge would have been able to see! I tried to take pictures of the fireworks but they didn't turn out very well, so I took 2 videos - but for some reason they won't upload to blogger : ( They did a really good job though! Comparable to NY I suppose : ) 

Speaking of NY, we will be there a week from tomorrow! YAY! 

Hope you all enjoyed your holiday! 

You probably won't hear from me again until after our trip!
