New pictures

I have updated my Picasa site with new pics of Danah and of Judy and Concetta Marie

Too much going on lately so I'm sorry if I haven't been in touch.
Thursday my mom turned 45! Me, mom, Mike and Aurora went to Darwin's to celebrate - hey Jude and Lee-Lee membah getting kick out of there?
Friday night Aurora and I decided to hit the bar pretty late. Everyone was up there and it was a good time. Saturday John went to plays cards all day; Danah and I went for a nice long walk and headed over to Mel's bridal shower. I wasn't able to stay long because John and I went out with my mom and Mike for her B-day dinner at Blues Central. The band was great and I can't wait to go back.
Sunday it was over to Keli's to hang out and let the kids play. They had a blast!

I'm back at GCI for the week and there is sooo much work to do here I haven't had a chance to breath. But it's nice to be busy; makes the time go by.

The next few weeks will be crazy...I have Mel's Bachelorette party on Friday night.
Saturday night mom and Mike are taking Danah and I'm not sure what John and I are up to. Maybe we'll hit up Blue Central again!

Next weekend is Ian and Maddy's B-day and Mel and Fred's wedding, then Lisa and Ed's wedding, Aurora's B-day, Gabby and Sydney's B-day, Danah's B-day...I'm booked through July!

Do you ever have a day that leaves you wondering about how your life turned out and why?
I find myself thinking about his more and more. Over the past few weeks I have been questioning where I am in life and where I want to be....more importantly, How do I get there?
I wish that I had a crystal ball that could answer my questions and guide me on whatever path I am suppose to be following. Because honestly I am not sure, sometimes it's like everything I do is wrong. I am unable to be happy and keeps the people that I love happy at the same time.
I am 24 years old and I feel more like I am 34 (not that 34 is old!) But I joined the Air Force when I was 17, got married when I was 19, moved to Alaska at 21 and had Danah at 22. Between John, Danah, my 2 dogs, the house, cars, work...it's all so overwhelming.
Ultimately I would love to go back to school full time and finish my degree but where do I find the time or money to do that? John is suppose to get orders out of Alaska in March 2008 and I have mixed emotions about that too. I miss my family and want to be closer to them but I have a good job here and some very close friends that I can't see my life being the same without.
Anyway, enough rambling from me. I have to go get Danah, go home, cook dinner and clean up the house!

Easter

I hope the everyone had a great holiday. Me, John and Danah got up early yesterday and went to church. She was very good; and I am proud of her.
We went to my mom's for dinner (it was great not having to cook!) Mike and mom spoiled Danah all day and half way through the Red Sox game we had to come home because she was being a brat. I finished watching the game at home and after Danah went to bed Aurora and I went out of a few beers.
Happy Easter

New Stuff

I updated some of the pics; you can find them at

Not much has been going on with me. I have been trying to catch the Red Sox's games but it's hard up here. They play mostly Seattle games because that is the closes team to us. I recorded the season opener with Kanas City and that was a crappy game.
Wednesday night me, mom and Aurora went down to the Peanut Farm and caught the last of that game (which we won!) They lost today against Texas so we are 2 - 2 now.

Danah has a bit of a cold right now too but other than that she is doing great. She says new words everyday and LOVES Elmo and Blue's Clues. To be honest with you I'm a bit tired of watching both shows...but at least they are educational! I can't wait for all this snow to be gone so we can start doing more things outside.

Works the same. Not much to say there...

Hope everyone has a great Easter

Red Sox loss 1st game of season


Well I am sure that most of you have heard that the Red Sox lost their first game of the season to the Royals. The final score was 7 - 1; I recorded the game and watched a bit of it before falling asleep last night.


Boston's pitching coach pulled Curt Schilling out of the game after just four innings...but with good reason. I am not sure what happen to my beloved pitcher yesterday but it was a sad day for Schilling fans. Curt even says himself on his blog "Not sure where to even start. Two words sum it up best, no command" (http://38pitches.com/)

What makes this loss so much worse is that the Yankee's beat the Devil Rays 9 - 5 yesterday!

I am hoping that we pull out of this by tomorrow when we play the Royals again.
161 games to go!

Either way I am glad that Baseball season is finally here. It seems so long since the Super Bowl and I found myself watching Basketball Saturday night!

Go Red Sox!

Baseball season STARTS!


Today is the official start of the 2007 Baseball season.

The Boston Red Sox are playing the Kanas City Royals and from what I am reading online the score is 1 to 1.

David Ortiz launched a double to the left-center field gap driving in Kevin Youkilis with the first Red Sox run of the season.


Curt Schilling allowed three straight singles to Mark Grudzielanek, Mark Teahen and Mike Sweeney to load the bases. After striking out rookie phenom Alex Gordon on what looked like a splitter, he went 3-2 to first baseman Ryan Shealy before what looked like a slider or a two-seam fastball for ball four. Pitching coach John Farrell even made his first in-game appearance to the mound. Schilling was able to retire Ross Gload with a pop to center.

It's 1-1, but it could have been worse.




I hate it that I can't watch the game live; I am checking online to find out any information that I can...and I have it recording at home so I can watch it tonight.


GO SOX!

Frustrating


Anyone that knows John and I; knows that he tells me everything

I know all the TDY secrets, I know who's doing who, I know who is getting into trouble and why...TMI!

The problem with this - I hear all these things everyday and never tell anyone else about them. It's very frustrating! I use to tell people; I thought that the wives had a right to know what their husbands where doing while they were away...but I learned the hard way that they don't want to know. I was make the bad guy by saying something. I was told that I started rumors and spread lies about people. SO I let it go. I keep my mouth shut now and when I see these people out and about I just shake my head and turn the other way.


But just remember my mom use to always tell me when I was younger:

"People in glasses houses shouldn't throw stones"


Just a little venting!

Till next time...

It's a Girl!


My sister found out yesterday that she is having a baby girl! We were all hoping to get a boy this time; but as long as the baby is healthy we'll all be happy. As of right now her name will be Concetta Marie Nappi. Albert's aunt is named Concetta and Judy wanted to name the baby after her because she has been such a big part of Albert's life.

I am so excited...I can't wait for her to get here so I can spoil her!

Danah will have her first cousin and I'm sure she'll be just a cute as Danah is. I keep teasing Judy saying that it's too bad that her baby won't be able to be as beautiful as Danah; but I know that she will be a gorgeous baby - you just have to look at her mom to see that.


Till next time


I love you Concetta Marie Nappi

Don't take life to seriously!

A good friend of mine forwarded me this email...I thought it was pretty cute. Enjoy

The Man in the Glass

THE MAN IN THE GLASS

(Author Unknown)

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight-shootin' chum
And call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear to the end,
And you've passed your most dangerous test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

I had seen this poem a while ago and happen to come across it today. I think that everyone can learn something by it. Till next time...Enjoy
