Baby Daniel

My brother and sister-in-law welcomed their first little one into the world on July 23rd. It was perfect timing since we were going to be leaving Northern New York and heading to Western New York to see them and my grandparents on the 24th. I'm so glad that he made his arrival in time for us to meet him. What a perfect little man he is : )

Welcome Daniel Joseph Geiger!

 

 

His going home outfit - which was his daddy's!

One more visit before we headed South <3

As if I didn't have enough reasons to wish it to come faster, come on Christmas! : ) Maybe we should just move closer so that we aren't always wishing our time away ; ) LOL

Congrats again, Jonathan and Liz! I'm so happy for you guys and love him to pieces already!

Dad's birthday

 Dad had his birthday while we were there, which was so much fun since we missed Father's Day. For some reason I think you can show more love while you are in person than while you are a million miles away and have to skype. Plus it's just more fun : )

His feast.

 

I surprised him and made him a lime cheesecake.

 

  

As you can see he couldn't wait to try it. LOL Actually we just forgot about the candles until we had already cut a piece. See how proud he is of making it with one breath?  

 

Love her <3

 

My mom always thinks that our time home with them is so boring because it is just her and my dad. But I wouldn't rather do anything else but sit at the kitchen table playing cards with them, crash date nights or wake up early to curl up on the couch with her, drink coffee and watch a chick flick. I will always look forward to that <3 

Love you Dad & Mom! : )

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 : )
