I've Moved the blog!

I know, isn't it sad! 

Not really! Check out where we moved to!

Montage Monday!

Today's picture is one of my favorites. Simply because I adore 1920's Art Deco. This is by Charles Demuth.

Happy New Year! Get back to work!

Back from the vacation, and wow so much happened!

Brian came down before I had to leave with gifts from his family. They spoil me to death! I’m amazed and in complete awe of what they got me. Seriously Family…. I love you!

Before I opened the pocket wrappings. 

Afterward. Chocolates even for the cats! <3

I went back home to see Family and Friends and what a hoot that was. Got to see so many of you Thursday night before Christmas and that will stick with me forever. If anyone took pictures, please…. No facebook tags! Christmas Eve I was blessed with watching my Step-Brother and his kids open up their presents with my Dad and Step-Mom. Those kids are adorable. I hear that they are little hellions, but still have yet to see the proof. I love being an Aunt! Then it was off to the candlelight service and then to bed.

Road Flooded? Ya think?!

Christmas Evening I spent with my Mom and Step-Dad, Brother, his girlfriend, and my Niece and Nephews. They’re getting so big it makes me feel old… and short. The youngest is now taller than me, which of course, I yelled at them all for. Hehe.

By Sunday I was more than ready to be home. Brian came up for the remainder of his vacation (Until Yesterday =-D) and we spent the week together. It was honestly really nice to just be home and relax. Now it’s Monday again and I already miss Brian and my Family, but it’s back to the grind for me. Luckily without any issues or system failures! Hooray!

Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!

Wordless Wednesday

River and Suki love the Xbox360.

Yule Tidings!

Okay, don't be scared.... I cooked! Now, now, I know what you're thinking. .o0(Oh No! Did she burn down her apartment complex?!) And I say to you, "Nay Nay!" We discovered that I'm a great cook. Go figure. I made Roasted Dijon and Apple-Glazed Turkey with Fruited Stuffing, Sweet Potato Oranges, Hot Artichoke and Spinach Dip, Peanut butter pie, and Iced Pumpkin Cookies. To my delight everyone enjoyed it. There was no complaints and everyone finished their plates.... and NO, no one dropped their food on the floor! haha. That was the entirety of Saturday. I started cooking around 10am and stopped around 7pm. It wasn't stressful at all, but I was exhausted by night time, and yet, I can't wait to do it again next year.

Now to back up a bit. Friday Brian and I had our own mini Christmas. I lit up my tree (which is hidden from my cats in my bed room.) and we opened presents. I was so excited to find that Brian bought me a board game that I've been staring at in Game Daze for months now. It's called Mr. Jack, where one of the two players represents Jack the Ripper, the other player tries to figure out who Jack is. It's a complete blast! 

Sunday we finished the 2nd season of Dollhouse. Damnit Joss Whedon! I cried! Never would have seen the end of that show go that direction. We pretty much stayed on the couch all Sunday. After the busy weekend I was tired and attached to the cushions.

As for this up coming weekend, I'll be in Kingman to see the folks and Brian will be in Tucson. Can't wait to spend time with my family and close friends. See you all there and everyone else have a wonderful holiday!

Bring on the Holidays!

This last weekend was a blast! 

Brian, Sarah, Cody, and I all went walking through Winter Haven. Sarah and I raced to post the pictures on Facebook as soon as we got in the car on the way to dinner. (Photos on blog soon to come.) We also helped decorated Sarah and Cody's Christmas Tree. Which for $40 was an amazingly poofy tree. haha! 

Saturday Brian and I went with his sister Holly to the park and had our pictures taken. They came out amazingly and everyone should check out Holly Himebaugh Photography as soon as they get a chance. 

Saturday night followed with Sarah and Cody's Christmas party. Many people came and it ended shortly after a marshmallow war in the back yard sometime after midnight. We ended up taking pictures, but judging that Sarah hasn't posted them, they more than likely didn't come out too well. haha!

Hope all is well with everyone! Can't wait to see you all over the Holidays!
