Merry Christmas

Greg and I had a great first Christmas as a married couple. We slept in and then opened gifts. Bella and Lani loved rolling around in the wrapping paper for their first Christmas! It was a nice and relaxing day which was perfect. It's hard to believe that this is our first Christmas in Arizona!

I made 2 of Nana's famous chocolate rolls w/ hot fudge sauce and around 1pm we headed to our friend's Chris and Kelly's house. It wouldn't be Christmas without us showing up in our ugly Christmas sweaters provided by my mom! Kelly couldn't stop laughing as all she saw when opening the door was a blinking Christmas tree on Greg's sweater.

We had an incredible day with good friends, good food and a great football game. It was nice to relax and eat all day!

Greg and I headed over the the Bowen's for pie...our 5th course of the day. It was nice to see all of their family and a perfect ending to our first Christmas as husband and wife! We look forward to many more Merry Christmas'

Cowboy Mania

I was in Dallas last week for a convention at the Gaylord Texan. I'll tell you as the saying goes...everything is BIG in Texas Ya'll. The hotels, Cowboy Mania and Christmas decorations. The convention was good and the best part was that I could stay at home and see all my family before the holidays.

BUSY

Happy Belated Turkey Day to all. I went to Texas and spent the holiday with my grandparents, five nieces and nephew, brothers, sister-in-law and mom. It was a lot of fun just to relax and hang out. Do you know what happens when you drink some good wine and get a little tipsy? The blonde wigs come out...hilarious!!!

Now back in Arizona and finishing up a crazy busy week. It all started on Sunday. I arrived back in Arizona at 10:30 am...got home with about an hour to eat lunch and get ready for work...yes on Sunday. It was my first day at my second...or really third job. I am in training at Morton's Steakhouse as a server. I trained Sunday and Monday watching videos and then Tuesday was my first training day on the floor. It was rather slow in the dining room but this was actually a blessing in disguise because I was able to learn about 90% of the menu presentation that night. Tonight is my second night on the floor training. I'm hoping the training part goes by quickly so I can start making some money. It's been a difficult week fighting sleep, crazy busy work at PING and then working at night....whew. I've been averaging about 12 hour work days this week...I just keep visioning $ to keep me going.
