MEDAL OF HONOR




Whew!!!!!!!!!

This week has flown by!

First I know you have all been in suspense about last weekend! Rob took my away snowboarding to Killington, VT! We had an amazing weekend of riding and snow! It was so relaxing until...my GPS got stolen right out of my car!!!!!!! Someone over night slim jimmed my car and took the time to rummage through it and find my hidden GOS and swipe it!! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT! They did not even take our boards WOW!!!!

Then I returned and yesterday I had an amazing seminar to attend to given by Mike Colon and Bob Davis! My head is still buzzing with ideas from yesterday! I highly recomend looking up the workshop they are giving and if you get a chance go!!!!

Now to the title of my post! Tuesday afternoon my Nana calls me to tell me that the state of CT is coming over to award my Papa a medal of honor for serving in WW II!

It actually makes me proud to say that Papa has served our country during the time of the war. It also makes me sad to see the State coming in now ......when he is elderly and very sick with dementia......... to come and give him this award. I guess better late then never.

So naturally when Nana and Mom called me I grabbed my camera to go document this occasion!

PAPA I AM SO PROUD OF YOU FOR ALL THAT YOU HAVE DONE FOR OUR COUNTRY AND THANK YOU!


LOVE YOU ALWAYS --NIKKI


PAPA HIMSELF...... OH HE WAS IN THE NAVY!



MOM AND PAPA READING THE MEDAL

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!!!!!

Well once again the V-day is here for all you lovers in love!

Rob and I usually don't celebrate the V-Day but this year we are....... we both kinda feel this day has become a hallmark day!

Now this weekend was planned a long long time ago.... it actually is my christmas gift from Rob....


Can you guess by the photo what we are doing?????




Here is another hint if you haven't figured it out yet.......


It will be cold and snowy and a sport is involved.......

Okay we are going SNOWBOARDING!!!!!!!

Some of you might not know that snowboarding is one of my FAVORITE things to do in the winter...... pull on the long john's a warm hat and head down the mountain where all your troubles go away! Since we have been together Rob has learned to snowboard and this will be our 2nd big trip to a mountain for a long weekend. I am anxious to leave which will be about 4pm TODAY!!! FOR THE WHOLE WEEKEND!!!!!! I will tell you when we get back where we are going.....

Okay now here are 2 photos from a couple of weeks ago when I took Rob to Butternut to get his "riding" legs on!




This one of Rob cracks me up cause as much as he thumbs riding down he does have a good time ha!




HAPPY V-DAY HOPE EVERYONE HAS A LOVEABLE DAY!

LOVE IS IN THE AIR!!!

Well my first wedding of the season was here this Saturday, February 9th!

Barbara and Mike had an elegante wedding at The Riverhouse ...which I love to shoot at! Robin, the banquet manager and her staff are so kinda and always making sure EVERYTHING is going right!

I have to say Barbara was in such good spirits on her wedding day seeming that we ran about 30 min late from the begining. But no worries the ceremony was beautiful and all the guests were having fun! Todd for the Powerstation had the dance floor packed all night long!

Thank you Barb and Mike for having me be a part of your special day! I look forward to many more days with you two!

Below are a bunch of my favorite photos from the day!
