Fun in Connecticut...

There is lot's to celebrate! Connecticut has been filled with visits with lots of friends and family... We celebrated our going away to South America/Cassie's Birthday today. Most of the pictures you see are from that party at my Parent's house in CT. 

But first, the beautiful Miss Carrie met Tito and I in Mystic CT, she's in green - nice tongue! We had a great time catching up and eating yummy pizza - so glad we could see each other! Tito an I

 also visited my friend, Jaime Keeler who I have actually known since before I was born - our parents were in La- Maz (sp) class together. We spent some time on Lake Zoar enjoying an evening. 

Among the fun today included Tito getting his eyes poked out by my

 Cousin's children (j/k it was fun - do you see how hard I am laughing in the picture?) - my mom fell into the pool with all her clothes on, we tested our waterproof camera, and my parents dog Lola stole food from the kiddos... come on Lola, grow up ;)

Tito's parents were able to come to the gathering today as well and now they are headed back to Ohio thanks for all the help and support carting our butts across country! 

Long time friends Jen

and Brian were among the ones who closed the party out. Jen's wedding anniversary is tomorrow, Jen's wedding seemed to have helped me spark major changes in my life and for that I am grateful - Jen, it was fun reminiscing with you and seeing your wedding album... we've come a long way and I love you! Brian... you should totally come to Peru and meet us... think about it!!!!

Thanks to everyone who we were able to visit and came to visit us, sorry to those we were unable to see. We certainly appreciate all the well wishes and prayers on the journey we are about to embark on. We look forward to this adventure and a lot of new adventures beyond this trip. Thanks for being a part of our lives. We promise to be smart, make good decisions, to have fun and keep in touch!
