Last Post of the Year

That’s a wrap. 2008 is over. It’s been a fun year. We started it off with my parents on New Year’s Day. Those who know me well were shocked when I made “the switch“.  Kyllan and I got to pretend we were famous… and then there was that whole Oprah thing (which we couldn’t talk about due to a Non-disclosure agreement. Click here if you are confused.) Kyllan attended her 10 year reunion; I skipped mine. We caught a few great movies. I got my hands on the hottest gadget of the year… or maybe Kyllan did. We enjoyed the Oplympic Games. We visited 6 countries (Vatican City counts too.) The site had a few technical issues. We were inspired and witnessed a historic event. The two of us discovered that we are hockey fans. You tried to follow along as we set fitnes goals (which we will resume posting about in the new year.) Kyllan and I hosted our first family event. And though Kyllan and I will be spending New Year’s Eve with some of her co-workers, I think Neil wrapped up this year nicely with his recent announcement.

Here is a link to my favorite photos of 2008 (on my flickr account)… Okay the first few are from late December 2007. Close enough.

William and I are headed to Cleveland for Christmas. We are at the airport, but already have a 2 hour weather delay.  It appears that several of the Continental flights are on a 2 hour delay.  William and I should have learned out lesson 2 years ago when we tried to go to Jacksonville via Continental, but our flight got canceled and we had to abort the whole trip.  We should have listened to William’s mom and booked American.  Fortunately, today’s flight is a direct flight to Cleveland, so we should be ok, but I think we are giving up on Continental (although we had a bad experience with American on our honeymoon).  No airline is perfect I guess (although I have had very good experiences on Frontier Airlines to Denver thus far with the exception of 1 delay).  While in Cleveland, we will also be celebrating my mom’s 60th birthday!! (she is not bashful about her age). I am sure we will have lots of pictures to post after the weekend.
We wish everyone a very Merry Christmas!

It’s Beginning to look a lot like Christmas.

I just want to complain about the fact it is now 25 degrees outside and it was 79 degrees yesterday.  Yes… a 55 degree swing.  William doesn’t want to hear it.  It is -7 in Denver right now and I am sure it is much worse with the wind chill.  But… Denver is known for being cold.  Dallas… not so much.  It has been known to see drastic temperature changes, but this was more drastic than usual.  The other thing about cold weather in Dallas is that if it rains and turns into freezing rain, which = ice on the roads, people in Dallas DO NOT know how to drive.  They decide to drive 5 miles per hour, which is a bad idea.  They also like to put on the breaks when they hit ice….another bad idea.  The good news is that is looks like the forecast shows us warming back up to 68 on Saturday, but the bad news is that the low on Saturday night is 28.  I know it could be much worse, so I will stop complaining now.  My blood just seems to freeze in my veins when it is this cold.  Perhaps I should rethink my suggestion to William yesterday that we go skiing while he is in Colorado.

Season’s Greetings!

Wow… it seems like a long time since we have made a post…. oh wait… it has been a long time.  As you are probably already aware, the site was down a few separate times over the last week, but William worked with the host and I think we have worked out all the glitches.

William and I have had a good December thus far.  We got to see each other on back to back weekends!!  That usually does not happen, so it was great.  He was at home (in Dallas) for Thanksgiving and then back again this past weekend for my company’s Christmas party.  I was very glad he was able to come b/c my boss had spread rumors around about me having a husband who was just a figment of my imagination and did not really exist (jokingly) since most of my co-workers had not met William before, except for a few who met him briefly at the wedding.  So the whole night, people were coming over and saying “you really do exist!” and it was good to introduce him to everyone.  We both had a nice time and stayed overnight in a luxury suite at the hotel that hosted our party, the Adolphus, which is a very luxurious and historic hotel in downtown Dallas that opened in 1912 by Adolphus Busch.  It was awesome!!  The suite was more like an apartment than a hotel room.  You can find pictures on my flickr page.

Well…. I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season!
