What a week...

New York was a lot of fun, but I will NEVER drive in the city again. The taxi drivers are just nuts and it is too stressful to drive. Once you get out of the city it's fun. We were able to see more things this time around and Nicholas really liked it. We leave Saturday to go to Miami, then Key West, then Key Largo. I am really looking forward to it!

Kristina is doing better today. The young woman who hit her car was found to be at fault so all Kristina's medical bills, car, time off work, etc, will be taken care of. She stayed for dinner last night and it was good to give her hugs and kisses.

Kitchen coming together

Our island arrived today and I just love it. Our appliances are also in but they need to be installed. We are hoping that the counter tops will be istalled before our trip to Key West. Busy busy month. Only one more week of school! All is well here, planting Bagonias today.

My visits

Well, I really enjoyed myself in California. I got to see relatives and friends I haven't seen in years. My niece got married to a terrific young man and I couldn't be happier for them. My sister and her husband did an AMAZING job with the wedding. It was beautiful! I was able to spend some time with my dad and his wife. They live in Orange, CA - pretty area. There is a part of me that really misses California but the other part of me just loves Virginia. Overall, I will pick Virginia as it suits me better. I was there for 5 days and still didn't get to do all the things I wanted to do. I did get to eat at In-N-Out Burger and that was yummy! I didn't go to the beach or the mountains, but I really was there to visit family. Next time I will stay longer and be a tourist again. I had a very nice visit and look forward to trying a return trip next year. I HATE flying or I would have been back much sooner.

Preparing for a busy summer

We are going to be very busy this summer. I am going to California to see my neice get married and visit with family. I haven't been back in years and it's about time I go. I am looking forward to it! We are going to New York for Nick's award ceremony in June. We are then going to Miami, Key West, and Key Largo. We went to Philidelphia a week ago and really enjoyed ourselves. Little Nick will be going to Virginia Tech for a soccer camp this summer and we are updateing the house with new appliances and a new deck. SO much to do, but I am looking forward to it all!

Happy Valentine's Day!

We are just relaxing and enjoying the day. I have flowers and wine that Nick bought me. We are going to The Log Cabin Restaurant tonight for dinner. It has good steaks and seafood with a really big fireplace that is cozy. All is well.

New kitchen appliances

We are looking at new kitchen appliances and everything looks good out there. Our double oven and stove top are REALLY OLD - they came with the house in 1996. I am leaning toward Electrolux but like Kitchen Aid and Jenn Air. I know we will be moving in 3 years but our stuff is just yuck! I want everything to match and so we will be getting a stove top, double oven, refrigerator, and a warming drawer. We will probably make the purchase later this month. I can't wait! :)
