I can’t believe that so much time has passed since our last post. Kyllan and I have been incrediably busy, but there really hasn’t been any news to report. Things should quite down for in the next month or so and hopefully we will return to posting more frequently. Until then, we will do the best we can. This weekend my mother’s family is having a reuion. Unlike the past month, there should be plenty of pictures from the weekend’s events.

Mother’s Day in Jacksonville

Kyllan and I spent Mother’s Day in Jacksonville with my parents. It was a fun-filled, yet exhausting, weekend. In between a belated  birthday celebration for Kyllan and the Mother’s Day festivities we helped my father setup his new tv and wireless internet network. There was also the traditional computer help that comes with every visit. Pictures from the trip can be found on my Flickr. A slide show of pictures from the trip is below. (The first few pictures are of Kyllan opening a birthday gift from my parents. This is NOT any type of hint concerning her and Mother’s Day.)

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!

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!
