Aruba 2011

Again this year, Pete took me away for my birthday to Aruba. Can I just tell you how unbelievably awesome it is to turn another year older in THE most beautiful place on earth? We stayed at the same hotel as last year and had an amazing time together. I am so lucky to have a man like Pete in my life. You make my world so much brighter! We celebrated my birthday at a restaurant called "The Flying Fishbone". It is right on the beach overlooking the beautiful water. The food was excellent! To finish off our dinner, I was served a birthday dessert, complete with a warm brownie, caramel icecream and sparklers!! Here are some pictures of our trip..only 50 more weeks to go until we return!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Well, 2010 was a blur. It seems like yesterday we were ringing in the new year and saying goodbye to 2009. It is now 2011...1/11/11 to be exact. How cool is that? That in someway, has to be good luck! It was a quiet New Year's Eve. The boys were with their dad and I was home alone, snuggled up in bed reading my book. A book which I could NOT put down..."Firefly Lane" by Kristin Hannah...unbelievable book! Pete was working so I rang in the new year by myself. At the stroke of midnight, I was flooded with text messages and phone calls from the kids and of course Pete. My night was then complete.

We are awaiting our second major snowstorm of the season. We are expected to get anywhere from 12 - 24 inches. The weathermen are pretty unsure at the moment, what else is new? I am in panic mode though. Pete and I are leaving this coming Sunday, the 16th, for Aruba. It is my birthday present. He is soooo good to me. I am looking forward to spending some alone time together. It's not often that we get this time.

So, Happy New Year to my family and friends. May this year bring much happiness and prosperity. I will post some pictures of our trip when we return.
