December was busy - very busy. After traveling to run in Vegas that first weekend in December, we had the second weekend free to prepare for Christmas and rest before traveling to New York City for four days during the third weekend in December. We had booked the tickets to NYC months ago and while I tried to postpone the trip (our time was just getting too cramped). As it was, we had a great trip.
A few things about our trip to NYC:
1) We were there for a 24 hour snow storm which was exciting... and we found a southern BBQ restaurant just a block from our hotel for dinner during the storm. We are so glad that it stayed open and was a fun upbeat place to go.
2) Jeremy had never been to NYC, so he had a great time seeing the sights. We even saw the Rockettes which was amazing. :)
3) We happened to walk through the Macy's at Herald Square and there was smoke in the air. It turns out that there was an escalator engine fire in the store and we got to watch the firefighters head upstairs...
Anyway, it was an exciting time... and everyone was fine. :)
A few days after returning from NYC was Christmas, which was nice. Of course. It was obviously sad and kind of lonely without my mom, but most days are... It was nice to spend the time with the family and Jeremy's family. :) One thing that I have learned in 2009 is that family and friends really are there when you need them... and they really have been. :)
I took the week after Christmas off (for the most part) and enjoyed cleaning and relaxing. I got a great visit in with some friends and started to prepare for the new year. The resolution post should follow this one... maybe in a few more days.
Last night was New Years Eve. I actually had a great feeling about NYE - and it was fun. Really fun. Then, shortly after Midnight, I had my purse stolen. Thank goodness that it was a clutch for NYE and didn't have my entire wallet in it, but I will still miss my phone and camera. Oh well, not the end of the world. I still have high hopes for 2010... and my LONG list of resolutions will follow shortly.
Happy New Years!
