Happy 2nd Anniversary

Chris and I celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary on Monday! Time flies when you are having fun :-)

Our celebration came in two phases.

Monday: Chris got beautiful pink roses, champagne and Thai food (YUMMY!). We exchanged cards and had a great, relaxing night.

Tuesday: We headed downtown for a Red Sox game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
It was a great time, and especially fun since they had a tribute to Jerry Remy (former player and 20yr broadcaster for the Red Sox), which included appearances by Carlton Fisk, Dennis Eckersly, Dwight Evans, and Jim Rice.

Here are some pics from the night.

Luck Be a Lady

Well I don't really believe in luck, but over the last few months I have started to think there is something to it :-) In the last few months I have won:

1 - iPod Touch ($300 value)

1 - Slingbox (then sold on eBay for $120)

1 - $50 Giftcard to LL Bean (for catching the biggest fish)

1 - charity poker tournament (where I got my money back for winning - but more importantly I beat Chris)

1 - $100 gift certificate to a local spa

In addition, my reps have been coming out of the woodwork to take me to Red Sox games, fishign trips and spa nights. And I even scored Red Sox tickets for Chris and I to go to the game last night for our 2nd anniversary!

Don't know if this is luck, or just God smiling down on me, but I hope it keeps on coming!

I got to go buy a lottery ticket!

The Bestest Fisherwoman!

Hi All, my rep from Field & Stream took my team fishing last week. It was a lot of fun, and I caught the biggest fish which won me a $50 giftcard to LL Bean. Check out some of the pics below!

Welcome to our blog...

...and my second attempt at keeping a record of all things Cieto :-)

Enjoy. I hope to be more successful this time round. Also hope to have some input from Chris (now that he is on school vacation).
