Beautiful Friends = Beautiful Pictures

Rich and I were lucky enough to meet a wonderful couple in May when we all went to Vegas to celebrate a mutual friends birthday. Kristi and Greg are two of the nicest people, not to mention they are an Air Force family too! It was so great getting to know them and spending the weekend celebrating together.

Kristi is a photographer that does A-MA-ZING work! If you are in the Colorado Springs area and looking for a family photo session, CALL KRISTI!!!! Check out her blog : www.kristiannephotography.blogspot.com. She specializes in newborns and family photography. She was gracious enough to schedule some time to take pictures for Rich and I this year. Despite her being at the end of a not so great first trimester of pregnancy, cold and 70+ mph winds, she braved it all to take some great pictures.

Here are a few of our favorites. I didn't put them all on here, just a few.

Baby it's cold outside...


but despite the freezing temperatures and snow here in NM, I've been fortunate to work 2 different cruises that took me to the beautiful and warm caribbean!



Went shopping and snorkling in St. Thomas

Had beach time in St. Maarten

Took a catamiran island tour and snorkled in Antigua

Was able to tour around St. Lucia by bus and boat

Saw interesting things in Barbados

Swam with dolphins and sting rays in Mexico

Hiked the Dunns River Falls in Jamaica

as well as went horseback riding in the ocean

I was able to ride a jet ski around Haiti

Formal nights are always fun on these Ships, not often I get to dress up here in NM.

I am very blessed that the career I chose takes me to new and exciting places. I am equally as blessed that my husband loves me enough to allow me to take these assignments and leave him behind while having a good time. I don't think there are many people out there who can say that they have gotten to go to or do the things I have been privileged to do while working!
