Kenny is back in PA!

Kenny is finally back home in PA. He really enjoyed San Antonio, but was ready to come home. Living out of a hotel and eating out at restaurants for 3 weeks was a little much after the 2nd week started. The weather was great and he got to do a lot of sight-seeing at the Riverwalk and Alamo...jealous, yes I am.

He said he really wants to go back...so I will be making a trip back with him sometime in the near future! The cost of living is really low...For what we spent on our home, we could have gotten in San Antonio for $30,000 grand less. Crazy.

Ya never know...you may have to visit us in San Antonio next year...lol. We'll see if that comes to fruition. I'm not holding my breath.

Kenny got a good shot of the Crocket Hotel during his stay. No, he didn't stay there.

My poor Emma.

Well, it was bound to happen at some point. My neice Emma broke her hand on Thursday. I think she had been running (with a pencil in her hand) and fell. I guess it was bound to happen at some point, she's 7 going on...15 I think. She's such a sweet, sensitive, courteous, beautiful little girl. I miss Emma and her brothers, Caleb and Ethan dearly. They are the loves of my life, besides my husband of course and our future children.

It was her right hand as well, but my sister said they tried to cast her hand so she could attempt to hold a pencil...we'll see how that works out. It should be a fast recovery which is good.

My Emma...I love you and miss you tons.

Kenny is San Antonio bound!

Well, as I write this, Kenny is in Flight on his way to San Antonio, Texas until October 24th! It felt like he was leaving me forever! It was a weird feeling. We have been apart from eachother for a week or so, but never this long. I'm sure it will go fast, but It's such a pretty time of year, I would love to spend it with him.

I would also love to experience the Riverwalk in San Antonio, I've heard it's a great place with a lot of different things to do and some fabulous food! I'm soo jealous right now. Kenny will be working for the most part, but I was trying to plan a 3 day weekend to come visit and do the Riverwalk like I said. The flights are rather expensive right now. $600 from the Lehigh Valley Airport! I would so love to go...but I should be really saving that money. I never put my foot down and save like I always say I'm going to. I would really like to achieve a goal I set out for myself, but do I want to deprive myself of a really fun experience with the hubby??? Don't know what to do and I only have a week to figure this one out.

We'll see.

P.S. The picture is about 1yr old. Oldie but goodie.

Celtic Classic 2008

Every year Kenny and I attend the Celtic Classic in Bethlehem, PA. We love it. It's great food, great music and of course, Great Beer, Wine and any other beverage to your liking! We've been going for 7 years now and it's a tradition for us. There has only been one year where we had my sister, cousin and Ken's friend come along. All other years, it's been Ken and I. I love that we are making long lasting traditions that we hope to enjoy with our family, whenever children come into the picture.

We see some of the same people every year and know exactly what booths to go to when looking for our favorite vendors! Ken's goal this year was to get his "AU SHUCKS" corn on the cob, with spices and parmesean cheese, it's the bomb! As well as an O'haras pint. Not as good as Guinness, but close to it!

I just love walking around, shopping, listening to the great celtic bands which are so entertaining, and the whole vibe is just a good time! We look forward to it every year and never plan anything for the last weekend in September!!

P.S. The bagpiper picture is from a few years ago, I couldn't get a good one this year, we didn't have the greatest weather.

Flats or heels??

So, I have a new addiction. Ballet Flats and Flats in general. They are really coming back in style these days. They are so much more comfortable than wearing heels for 8hrs and I think their funky! So they may not be the sexiest shoe, but who wants to look sexy at 8-5 job? They are so much better for our feet too!

Not saying that I'm totally giving up on heels...I wear them...I do. But, I never seem to find the right size. They are either to tight up front, and too big in the back. Always something! I love the peep toe heel!

I'll post a picture of a new purchase soon...Red Funky Flats! Love them!

Exhausted!

Sorry it has been so long since my last post. I have been extremely exhausted! I really need to take my vitamins and take care of myself better.

I have been so worried about what is happening/not happening in my life right now that I don't take time for me. I also have to start making decisions for myself and not have a fear of what other people might think of that decision. I have to do what it right and what feels right for me.

I have a huge fear of the unknown...but I have to take a step in that direction, because I'm stressing myself out to no end. Yes, money helps pay the bills, but does it bring Happiness?

Anyway, I'm a bridesmaid in a wedding this weekend. I so hope the dress fits. I purchased in almost a year ago and I had to have gained a pound or 2 since then! I'll be sucking it in! lol.

Well, It's U.S. Open Tennis time! Kenny and I are big fans and have been to a few matches in Flushing Meadows, NY. It's a great time! We also love watching it on T.V. We have been known to stay up until 2.am to route for our favorites! We love those 5 setters that end in a tiebreak!

Celtic Fest in Bethlehem, PA is coming up at the end of September, so look out for that post!

I love my husband.

Well, when you are having a bad day, and you think the next thing that happens will put you over the edge, you have to think "someone else has it worse than I do".

I was so glad to be coming home from a very long day and week for that matter. I don't get to see Ken at all when he works nights...well, not counting our 3:00AM conversations when he's finally tired enough to come to bed. He made my day today!

I came home and went to check my cell. I had a voicemail. He said he just called to say "I love you"...on his way to work. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, I remember why I married this man.

Once again..."It's the little things in life". Common trend, don't ya think?
