Enjoying the Florida sun

It is gorgeous here! Low to mid 20's and sunny! This afternoon, we are heading to the beach and tomorrow we are heading to the everglades to go on an airboat tour. Tomorrow is supposed to be the warmest day yet at 27 degrees. Then it is supposed to be cooler for Thurs and Fri - so you know what that means - outlet mall shopping!

Our house here is absolutely gorgeous. We got the master bedroom since we have Julie and the bathroom (complete with 2 walk-in closets) is bigger than our bedroom at home. We love this house! If we come back again next year, we'll likely get the same house again since it is gorgeous and in a nice quiet area, but close enough to the shopping.

Julie did so amazing on the drive down! It was about 25 hours of driving time and we only lost an hour total due to traffic, which isn't bad considering how long the trip was. Having the portable DVD player in the car for Julie was awesome, it kept her occupied for most of the drive.

We are enjoying our vacation so much, I don't want the week to end!

Last post for 2009 (probably)

This will likely be my last post for the year given that I'm leaving for Florida on Friday and won't be back until January 5th. Although, who knows, I may post while I am sitting by the pool at our house in Florida ;) I'm so excited about the trip! I hope Julie does okay in the car for that long! We bought a portable DVD player to help occupy her for some of the drive.

This is my first time ever going south during the winter. All the other times I've been south have been in August, April, October, and September. So this one will be different because I can escape some of the snow! I have also never been on this long of a drive. My longest drive thus far would be to New Brunswick in 1996.

We had Christmas with my side of the family on the weekend, and it was awesome! We had our turkey dinner on Saturday, then played games for the evening. We played this new (to us) game "Settlers of Catan". Have any of you ever played it? It is AWESOME! We loved it so much that we played it again on Sunday! We had our 'Christmas morning' on Sunday and it was so much fun.

On the 25th, we will be heading to Carlos' parents house for the afternoon and then we're leaving on our trip - yay!

I hope you all have a fabulous Christmas!!!

Great weekend

I had my company Christmas party on Friday and it was a lot of fun. It was great to see everyone again and get to know some of the new people. I was so glad that Julie was okay without me from 6:30pm until almost midnight! She was with my parents and was an angel, she only got a little grumpy near then end and that was only because she was really tired. I'm so glad I can get out in the evenings now! Tomorrow, I am meeting the girls from work for dinner and then we're going to see New Moon. They even made T-shirts so we all wear either "Team Jacob" or "Team Edward". We'll feel like we're 15 again ;) I decided to go with Team Jacob for this movie, but then I'll switch to Team Edward for Eclipse ;)

And then on Friday I'm going scrapbooking with a mom's group that I joined, so that should be fun!

Hard to believe it's only 11 days until the trip now! I'm getting so excited!

It's a lonely world...

... this blogging world is. Seems like I am the only one who is still posting. The rest of you haven't posted since the summer! I'm feeling a bit like the cheese standing alone...
