A long awaited update

Don't get discouraged! it's gonna be a long one, it has been awhile and lots of fun things have happened so take a look!

First, the last of my visit to AZ!
* Fun after chocolate fountain- my mom and I got pampered, a full body massage, pedicure, and manicure. decorating a gingerbread house, and getting and decorating a christmas tree. Enjoyed eating out and a movie The Holiday- recommend it!



* hung out with friends- games, lunch, craft night too! It was great to see my AZ girlfriends!!


* Sister and boys came to AZ- So fun to play with Caden (her 2 yr. old), and to see her new one Jackson. It was fun to be a babysitter and a playmate, an excuse to act like a kid.



Tons of Fun in AZ! I will miss it, but it was a nice trip! It was nice to be back with my Husband!

Second, Anniversary to Toronto!
* December 20th was a great day, not only the last final for John, it celebrate our first year of marriage!, so off to Toronto for a few days of fun with each other.
* First, a great room thanks to briste for the discount, we were welcomed to a nice suite! And a king bed in which we would spend some time( catching up on sleep that is)!


* Fun shows in Toronto- Blue man Group was great, I had no idea what to expect and was not disappointted. So much fun, they were great entertainers. And the nutcracker. That is a beautiful play, what talent, beauty, portrayed. I love shows, and so I loved it.


* Fun shopping, visits to the Casa Loma Castle, the toronto temple, and the CN tower, etc. Toronto was a fun city, a miniature NY city, big city life, and plenty to keep us busy. We enjoyed our stay and our anniversary!!






Third, almost christmas in Buffalo!
* back to our Home, after Toronto. I know its late but we went out and got us a Christmas tree. It's not too tall, but hey its taller than last years. It was fun putting up lights and ordaments. We sat sipping hot chocolate , listening to christmas music, looking at our little tree, and talking about our favorite christmas memories!

*Remind me to never go out again on the eve of christmas eve. A few last minute things, but boy not worth thte craziness! Everyone and their mother is out. I guess that is what is get for a little procrastination.
WOW, sorry it had been so long! Hope everyone has a great holiday!!!

Chocolate Fountain Craziness!!!

An update here in Arizona. First of all, it is sunny and nice down here, jeans and a short sleeve shirt, I know I forgot they existed in NY! So far I have been a great helper to my mother who owns a catering chocolate fountain company. This time of year is very busy for her, so Sarah to the rescue. Thursday, Friday and Saturday were all filled with events!



But I must tell about one. Saturday I got to do a fountain for one of my great friends(hee hee), She lives in a huge mansion in Paradise Valley, I will be honest, the biggest house I have ever seen, let alone be at one of the biggest events of the year. Over the top with decorations, a huge guest house, a huge backyard, and to give another hint as to the amount of money these people had, just in their garage, their were 4 harley hot rod motorcycles, 2 ford mustangs, one older restored one, and a new one, 1 yellow lambergini, 1 black Bentley, and a black range rover!! Wow, huh! Anyway, on with the story. My dad and I were there getting all set up for this party. It was a huge party, decorations perfect, tables, food, ice carvings, bars everywhere, the pool was covered with an elevated dance floor, a band from LA was flying in. Anyway, so you get the point. An over the top party to say the least, and so you are wondering who's house was this. WEll I will tell you. . . . ONly the most sought after porn star ever . . . JEnna Jameson! Yes, that is what the porn industry will buy. I guess that explains all the strippers in prom dresses that were there. What a night, my dad and I were dodging boobs the whole night!! Sorry for not having my camera on me, but WOW! Talk about the big and spacious building!

Anyway, enough with the chocolate fountain talk, now it is time to relax and enjoy AZ with friends and family! Congrats to Kristen on the birth of her beautiful son Chase!!

Wow! What a week!!

First of all, another birth of a beautiful baby boy occured thursday morning. Johns cousin Adam and his wife who are up here going to dental school as well, had a baby. John and I went to the hospital to see them. What a beautiful family!!



On Saturday night, john and I and other of our friends got together for a christmas party. There was about twenty people there, and it was so fun. There was food, which was all delicious! I was assigned desserts, and like always I had a blast doing that. I could not decide what to make, so I made 5 things, yes five! Cute little reindear and santa cookies, Reese'sm peanut butter cookies, mini cheesecake and rocky road fudge bars, Oh wait, and White chocolate trail mix!! YUM! I am getting hungry thinking about all that food we had! We all sat around and ate, chatted, and of course, had a great white elephant gift exchange! An old stained glass chandilier, a budweiser tourch, and an african statue were some of the highlights! John brought home a stuffed chicken which is a slingshot, and it makes wonderful chicken noises!! It is great to have such great friends up here!!





And the final results are in. . . Drumroll for the NCLEX!!! Passed, yes you read correctly, I did PASS!!! now onto real life as a working career women! I will let you know about the job options and where I choose to work!! Hopefully starting the first of the year!

This week I leave to AZ, jealous aren't you. I know I am very excited to see some sun and my family!!
