Happy New Year

Since 2008 is coming to a close, we just wanted to wish everyone a very Happy New Year filled with love, peace and happiness. This last year has been so wonderful and I know it will only get better from here on out. We love you all and be safe!!!

(I know this is another wedding picture, but what can I say, it was our biggest event of 2008!)

The party was a hit!

Last Saturday was the annual xmas party and everyone had such a great time. Almost all of our friends who could, made it and we loved seeing everybody. They all brought toys and I am delivering them tomorrow. Thanks everyone!

Annual Christmas Party

Hi all! On Saturday we are hosting our annual Christmas party and we are so excited. Jessie is making her famous punchy punch, Brandon is bringing some treats and everyone is having so much fun shopping for toys to bring to be donated to Toys for Tots. We wish everyone could come, but for you all who are far away, we will keep you in our hearts and we miss you!

This is a very special time of year for us. It is a time to be with family, friends and loved ones and just celebrate the closing of one year and the opening of another. We wish you all a very happy holiday season full of love and laughter!

If you want to make a donation please visit http://www.toysfortots.org/. It feels good to give!

Happy Thanksgiving!

To all who we love: we wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving! We are truly thankful for everything and everyone in our lives. This is a very special day to count your blessings and really reflect on what fills your lives with love and happiness. To my wonderful husband, our loving family, our two great dogs and our amazing friends, thank you for making my life full and complete.

Love, The Rosses

Mrs. Megan Wells Ross

Well, I know we got married in September, but in order to vote I couldn't legally change my name. Since I have so much time on my hands right now, I finally got to do it. As of today, I am officially a Ross. I also changed my middle name because I just couldn't let go of being a Wells. So, I am a Ross, much to my husband's happiness. So honey, there you go! ( I am very happy)

Lovely Banner

I have recently become complete obsessed with this website called http://www.etsy.com/ . Everything on the site is handmade and the variety is amazing. You can literally find anything. I got Jessie a really cool necklace for her birthday, me and my cousin "letters" of our new last names and even a really cool fabric cover for my Cuisinart mixer. Almost anything you want, you can find it. The picture above is a banner a local etsy seller made and sent me. Her name is Melody and her shop is called A Jewel in my Crown, it is awesome and she does any banner custom, just for you! I basically love this site and urge all of you to take a look.

Stone Rose Night Out

Saturday night we went out with Jessie, Matt, Mike and Katie to the Princess Resort to the Stone Rose Lounge. We had never been there before so we sat outside around one of the many fire pits, had soem drinks and talked. We had a great time!

My Kids

Since I have been home, I haven't been able to shake the pups. They literally follow me wherever I go and Beans can't seem to find her way off my lap. But, I do love them. I have been snapping a lot of pics of them lately too. At least I am not lonely at home!

Happy Birthday Mom!

Saturday was my mom's birthday. We just wanted to say that we love you very much and you are the best mom any daughter could ask for. Sounds like you had a super fun weekend and we missed you. Love you so much!

Late Halloween Pics

Hi everyone...long time, no blog. Well, it has been a tough week for us here in Scottsdale. Working for a home builder in this tough economy, well, it was bound to happen. I was laid off on Monday, but immediately hit the web and have applied for so many jobs I can't even count. I know something will come soon, I think I already have something part-time, so that is good for now. Anyway, I meant to post these pics of the dogs on Halloween a few days ago, but better late than never. Beans was a lobster and Rocks was a Samurai, or a chef from Benihana (it is really hard to find costumes for big dogs). Enjoy and send any job leads my way, hee hee!!!

Finally

As you might know, my dad owns a condo (right across the street from our house :)) and I manage it for him since he is so far away. For the last three years or so we had some really steady tenants, but our last one is a doctor and had to move to New Mexico. We were sad to see him go, but he had to. After sitting empty for a few weeks, Rich was starting to get nervous and so was I. But, today I finally got an email from a nice young lady in Chandler looking to move in immediately. I met her, she is super and moves in Saturday. This is mom and dad happy to not pay 2 mortgages...

WHOO HOO!!

Congrats to Molly and Just for tying the knot on Sunday evening. We are all very happy for you. Molly was stunning and Justin was dashing. We had a great weekend and can't wait to see you guys soon!

Off to Denver!

Alex and I are leaving tomorrow for my cousin Molly's wedding. We are very excited to see her marry the love of her life, Justin Trobec. We love you both very much and wish you the very best. Sunday will be beautiful, can't wait to see you guys! Thank you so much for making me a part of your special day, it is going to be amazing.

Go Sox!

At Fenway Park 2004

Since my family is from Massachusetts, we are all huge Red Sox fans. Imagine my surprise to find out that Alex is an equally large fan! When they won the world series a few years back, my dad was obsessed and gave everyone RS paraphernalia for Christmas. They are kicking some serious tail this year and we are so excited that we may have another championship this year. Tomorrow night is game one of the new series against Tampa Bay (8:37 Pm EST). I think we will teach those Rays a few lessons in baseball, but I don't want to jinx it. We will be with some friends tomorrow night all cheering for those "Bunch of Idiots." GO SOX!!!

P.S. Hey Rich Wells, where is my new hat???:)

1 MONTH ANNIVERSARY

Wow, I can't believe it has been a whole month since the wedding. It seems like time has just flown by. Really, it was just yesterday that we were all hanging out in Newport waiting for the rain to pass on the porch of the MS Inn. The lobsters, beer, friends and laughs are a wonderful group of memories I know neither of us will every forget. It truly was the best weekend of both of our lives, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Thank you again to all of our friends and family who have supported us throughout the years. You have meant the world to us ans we love you very much. Thank you to everyone who could make it to the wedding. To everyone who couldn't, you were there in our hearts and minds.
