Happy 3rd Birthday Ethan!

I didn't get the chance to post anything on his actual birthday, March 6th, but I know he enjoyed his day with his Emma, Caleb and Mom and Dad. I can't believe how fast time goes. He's such a little man now! I haven't been home since Christmas and I miss them dearly. These are the times that I wish I lived closer to my family. It's tough, because everyone has to live their own life and go where life takes you. Here's my Ethan. He loves to pose for pictures!

San Antonio photos...finally.

Hey! I'm finally getting around to posting some photos from my weekend in San Antonio. So, it's a few weeks after the fact...so what : ) Kenny and I went down to the Riverwalk and ate at "La Paloma" Restaurant and "La Casa Rio" which has different colored umbrellas to sit under and it's the most popular spot on the Riverwalk. We got serenaded by a Mariachi Band...which was awesome!!! No picture of that unfortunately. I'll always remember it though!

We also went to Market Square which is a huge shopping ground for anything and everything...and lots of entertainment with local singers/bands/dancers. Great food! La Margherita was the best meal of the weekend! I do wish the weather was a bit warmer that 5o degrees, but I'll take it!

My time was short there...but it was so much fun. I hope we can go back again soon! Ken really enjoyed it there and he enjoyed the people the most. They requested him (this 2nd time) around...so we'll see what happens in the future.

Enjoy the photos...more to come. Happy Spring...can't wait!

Weekend Getaway to San Antonio!

Hello!

To the select few that follow my blog, you all know that Kenny is in San Antonio again for another 3 weeks. I have decided go visit for the weekend. I'm sad it is only for 2 full days, but excited nonetheless! I've heard great things about San Antonio. Not just the Riverwalk and Entertainment, but the Art, and History of the area is beautiful and a sight to see and experience. I'm sure we'll have to make countless trips back to experience it all.

I will try to post some pictures next week. I'll be back Monday afternoon!

Here's a picture of the Alamo. Ken took it his first day out on the town during his last 3-week stay!

Chat soon!

Happy 2009!

Well, it is 2009. Crazy. Just wanted to write a little something before I wind down...and prepare for another work day. I'm excited for what 2009 will bring. I hope it brings new and exciting things for Kenny and I. Ken will be making another trip to San Antonio in the middle of January and I will be visiting for a weekend this time. I can't miss out on the "Riverwalk" experience and that of the fabulous food in the San Antonio area. I love eating at outside restaurants and being in on the "action" of the downtown atmosphere.

I have to keep reminding myself to do something for me...and stop worrying about everyone else all the time. That's just me though. I don't think that will every change but I can tweek it a bit I hope. I must take care of myself better in 2009. I have not being doing that.

I know 2009 will be a better year for me professionally and emotionally. I will be writing down goals I would like to achieve and other to-do's on my list. There will be no "fear of the unknown" in 2009.....

I will share those goals soon...night night.

Blog Updates

Yes, it has been over a month since I last posted on my blog...it has been quite a month. As I write, snow plows are closing my driveway in with Ice and snow. Oh, how I despise winter. I say it every year..."I'm moving to a warmer climate". Hasn't happened yet, but I hope it does someday...can't stand this weather and it has just begun!

I really can't believe that is the Holiday season. It will have come and gone in 2 weeks. Craziness.

I've been addicted to Facebook lately...it has been so great to reconnect with old high school friends and friends/family who you never get to see because of distance or any other reason.

It is a great networking too as well, for anything and everything. I will hopefully be posting more after the New Year. I truly hope 2009 will bring great things personally, and career wise.

More to come...Hope you all have a Happy and Safe Holiday! The picture is a scanned pic of My Nana (who is 94) and still lives in Brooklyn, NY! Miss her and love this pic. We are in our PJ's and eating a snack before bedtime...circa 1982 maybe?

P.S. Just wanted to say hi to Melanie, Sarah and my other good friends and family who check out the blog every now and then. Leave a comment next time you visit! Join Facebook too!

11/15/08 Anniversary of our First Date!

I can't believe how time has flown by. I don't know how to describe it really. Kenny and I went on our first date, November 15, 1997! Oh my god...that date makes me laugh...it seems crazy! 11 years...and counting.

We went to see "The Devil's Advocate" with Keanu Reeves. I should have known then, that he was a movie buff...it continues till this day and will always. Which I love.

We then proceded to go to the G-MAN. It's a bar...The Gingerbread Man. For those of you who are Non-Penn Staters. We stood on line in freezing cold weather... and ended up closing the bar down at 2 a.m. Surprise?? Not so much. Still do it on occasion! We just don't recoup as fast these days!

I always daydreamed about the day I would look back on the times we shared...even if it was just a date to the movies. It brings me back to where we began...and how far we've come in our relationship. We didn't know what was in store for us...we just made a decision to experience life together and I wouldn't change it for anything. We are not perfect...we have our moments, arguments, name-calling incidents like every couple. But, we do not go to bed angry.

We may not have achieved or experienced everything that we wanted to at this point in our lives, but I do believe that we are more in love today, than we were on our wedding day. I thank God for that.

October 2008

Well, October went really fast, I feel like I didn't even enjoy Fall this year! Here's a shot of our Pumpkins this year. We went to the Pumpkin Patch in Macungie...it's so cute. We always go at the end of the month, and there's never a huge selection...but we did manage to find 2 keepers!

The big one looks like a Gourd!
