2011

Happy 2011!

As I am sure you have noticed I have not had a post since the beginning of December! The sad part is I feel like that was last week! But here we are in 2011, and I am very excited about what this year might bring. I am not a huge fan of change, I used to cry when my parents sold a house or traded in a car, so it is funny that I hope this year is FULL of change.

Since my last post many things have happened. We have settled into my parents house and all the cats are now best friends. Tomas turned 28 and my Mom turned 51, which we celebrated with a show downtown and dinner. The show was awful but the dinner was fun. Brian came home from College and after that Michael was in town for Christmas and we had a ton of fun just hanging out as a family, meeting with the Sager's for dinner and remembering when it used to be all of us all the time. Christmas was a lot of fun and we spent the day in matching pj's drinking and playing with new toys.

The next day we headed to Arizona, and Michael went skiing before heading back to warm Texas. Arizona was a great trip. Our van had some little issues so we prayed we would make it to our first stop, Sedona. We made it and we were so glad because Dad surprised us with reservations on top of a mountain. The views were amazing. Our second day we had to take the van to get fixed so we walked around Walmart, a strip mall, and then sat at a bar drinking beer and playing video games until our hours of waiting were done. The van is not 100% but he reassured us it could get us where we were going and back! The next day we headed to Wickenburg to see my Grandma. While there we ate out, Mom and I ran in the wonderful weather, and we played a ton of card games. The rest of the trip was spent in Scottsdale. Our main reason for this stop was to celebrate the Wedding of Elliot & Lindsey Schwartz (it was beautiful), but also while there my Dad took us to his old house and college, and of course we hit up the casino!!

Overall our welcome into 2011 was full of fun, friends, and family so we couldn't ask for more. I will try to post more in this new year! I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday Season as well!
