2005 Year in Review

2005 was - 12 months. 3 weddings, 2 new babies, countless cities, a road trip, a first plane trip with eachother, endless prayers and 1 dearly missed grandmother.. This year has brought some ups and downs. 2005 shook my family in some of the worse ways possible. From beginning to end. But there is a fearlessness that has been earned by the women in this family. A strength can not be matched by a survivor in the family. And one little man that made this year one of the best years yet. (click on image to visit photos)
January- We enjoyed a revisit to "Rotten-vester"
February- Got to visit "The Gates" in NYC.
March- I colored my hair? what was that about.
April- Cancer. He kicked its ass. This Blog began.
May - Nan, I see your signs, and know you watch over us.
June - "Aint nothing gonna break my stride, aint nottin gonna hold me down. oh no.. Ive got ta keep on movin"
July - Its good to be alive. The sun is for soaking, and pools are for jumping in.
August - 27, Tepee, nude beaches visit to cape, Marthas Vineyard, NYC and Spamalot.
September - I never want to go apple picken' again without my little man!
October - Florida weddings and Dali is amazing. (lesson learned sometimes planning is good, sometimes letting go is good too)
November - Junior Review passed with flying colors. Pancreatic walks for a cure are a cause everyone should donate to.
December - Friends are just as important as family. We depend on eachother, and shouldnt be taken for granted. Christmas is a time for togetherness.

We live our lives from day to day, we shouldnt forget that what we do is our legacy. Who we are paves the way to our future. Live life like you dont have tomorrow. Dont regret things you have done, its a part of who you are now. Take the time to listen, because love is in the details.
Happy new year everyone, best wishes in 2006!

What an amazing group of people to share the holiday with, have some food, and enjoy some laughs. Thanks for everyone that took the time to come. I really really had a great time and it wouldnt have been what it was with out every one of you. :) XOXOXO - Ill see you next year! (with a better theme of course)

Holiday Ill Fri.

A quick one for Ill Friday. It's been months since i posted anything.

Christmas

Christmas was great, I got some really really nice things, everyone liked their gifts. My family was close by and everyone was happy. We had such a nice day. My nephew is a super-genius. My mom has become the worlds best shop-aholic. And I have become closer to my sisters then ever. My Dad liked all his gifts, and my step-mother finally didn't over shop. This was a good year. My boyfriend and I are very excited about the new year. We have big plans. I just cant wait.

Naughty or Nice?

Have you been good this year? Check here at this website?....
I have been nice. So maybe Santa will bring coal in the form of diamonds this year?........ hey ya never know?
"Rebecca : Nice, with a few exceptions. Needs to be nice to everyone not just friends. Could try a little harder when things are tough. Good sense of humor. Made list last year. Needs to be good all December."

All in a bottle...

Would this be good? Should this be tried? I was in NYC yesterday and they have all the latest drinks.. Why cant we have this fun in our town. Is this for 500lb people or created by 500lb people? I mean seriously. Snapple pies - fruity.. but to add the flavor of flakey crust... omg. And I think Jones Soda takes the blue ribbon for grossness. The have released a line of holiday flavors such as : Brussels Sprout with Prosciutto, Cranberry Sauce, Turkey & Gravy, Wild Herb Stuffing, and Pumpkin Pie, Broccoli Casserole, Smoked Salmon Paté , Turkey & Gravy, Corn on the Cob, and Pecan Pie.
