Holidays 2009

We had a fantastic holiday season, capped with a visit from my mom, a nice low key new year's of games, rum and a quick nap before midnight(for me). We are starting our new year off right with a great vacation to the Caribbean... San Juan, St. Croix and Vieques is on the ticket!! I can't wait and we are going to have a fabulous time, I know it!

I am so lucky and blessed with my life right now. I have a wonderful man who I am sooo blessed to have be a part of my life... and 2010 is starting off right. I can't wait to see where our adventures take us... it's gonna be an exciting and dynamic year, that's for sure!!!

O Christmas Tree!!!

So in the middle of a blizzard last Wednesday, we ventured out to cut down our Christmas tree.


To start with the roads were awful... but we jumped in jeremy's Expedition and off we went. About 3 miles down the road, we almost hit a moose... yep, a moose... we came about 4 feet from smacking his rear end!! But we missed him... we just could not stop on the slippery roads!!


We stopped at one tree farm that was closed, another that was a self serve with all little trees and no big trees and finally we got to Grants Tree Farm.




We grabbed a saw and out we went! Right off the bat we find an awesome tree, but we decide to keep on looking. So for about a half hour we tromp around in the snowy, windy, blizzard and we came right back to the same tree. Jeremy and I took turns cutting it down.

Then we threw it in the truck and headed to Walmart to finish buying a few decorations!

Snowy, wet but loving it!!!

We dried off the tree and proceeded to decorate!! Now we have a beautiful tree, and a very festive home!!! We have more decorations now, I'll have to post more pictures soon!

Trip to MN...

Here are a few pictures from Jeremy and I's trip to MN. We had a blast. We traveled Non-rev and the flights were great! We even got business class on Air Tran on the trip home. So cool! We were totally exhausted from all the running around and lack of sleep, but it was a great trip.

Poor Jeremy. He had to meet so many people and that was just my mom's half of the family. He met: Dad, Pat(brother), Pete(brother), Sara(sister), Mom, Grandparents(3 sets), 4 aunts and uncles, 4 cousins, and 2 second cousins... whew!!!

We landed in Boston, having missed the first snowfall!!


Back in RKD with snow everywhere!!!

Happy 2009!!!

Hello everyone and welcome to 2009! I got to ring in the new year with my mom. Yes, for those who know me, you know that my mom came down to Puerto Rico on Christmas Day and stayed until New Years day. It was her longest and best vacation ever, according to her. She slept in, walked on the beach every day, lost some weight(yes, on vacation), got to see El Morro and got to travel outside of the country(not just Canada). Now she has the travel bug and wants to keep expanding her travels. She has traveled all over the US and is ready to tackle the big bad world. Here are a few pics from her trip:

We had a great time and she is already planning on coming back again in a month or so. Not so bad when your daughter works for the airline and you fly for almost nothing(even if it is standby!) My mom rocks and I miss her already!!

But the good news is that my sister will be here at the end of the month for a week and we will have a rockin' time too. I will hopefully post before then, but i will definitely update after that too!!

Merry Christmas!!!

Wow! Has it been a month since I posted!?!?!? YIKES!! I have all these pictures and stories and I keep thinking, "I gotta blog"... and I forget or too long goes by and I don't think it's important anymore... but I guess we'll see. I will try harder to blog about my stuff. But

Merry Christmas
from Puerto Rico!!

It's a little hard to tell its Christmas down here... just some Christmas lights around and people saying happy holidays... or Feliz Navidad! 2 of the roommates are working and the other is off, so we might hit the beach... the beach on Christmas... that I like.

But there is a small(very very small) part of me that misses a snowy Christmas. As much I don't like the cold, snow on Christmas is a very magical thing.

On another note, my mom is trying to travel standby to see me... and it's proving to be challenging. We knew it was going to be, but not this much. So send out some happy travel thoughts for my mom in Minneapolis... it'd be good to see her. Merry Christmas everyone!!
