Here's to an exciting 2010!

For the Record, It's Twenty Ten.

Happy New Year! I hope that everyone had a wonderful evening last night and a relaxing day today (and that you are finally hangover free).

I've been trying to work through all of the craziness that has been this past year to write some sort of pensive discourse on the year that was 2009 and how that will influence my 2010. However, I've been too busy relaxing and enjoying our new high-definition television (they don't call it vacation for nothing). The vacation officially ends tomorrow as I have blog posts and personal statements to write...and goals for twenty-ten (not two thousand ten...save yourself a syllable).

Until then, enjoy your long weekends kiddos!

Loving Love.

My sister is currently on route to New Zealand (because of this). I am so incredibly excited for her and proud of her for taking such a chance for love. Still, everyone who knows Jen and Ed are pretty positive it's a safe bet.

I did really well yesterday saying good-bye to her. I barely cried and only left her with two minutes of older sister advice. And then I was on Facebook and saw this message from Ed:

Farewell my friends, I gotta go see about a girl...

Instant tears. And I'm crying again just typing this. Once a sap, always a sap.

Feliz Navidad.

Just found this photo that I had to share of my brother and I visiting Santa when we were kids...before the younger sister entered the scene (I think). Holy long hair! What does a 6 year old do with all that? And seriously, are we wearing matching overalls? Yes, overalls!?! (I'm totally going to avoid the discussion of the creepiness of this Santa, his gargantuan hands and that doll on the right.)
