Good Morning, 2008!

So here we are... eight years into 2000. Is it weird to feel like 2000 is still "new"? Is it strange that you can have a perfectly intelligent conversation with a person that has never lived in the 1900s?

Okay enough of my "feeling ancient" talk. This Christmas and New Year's was especially low-key, but we figured we had enough hoopla already with the wedding celebrations and the Thanksgiving parties and first-time-ever trip to Europe for our Honeymoon.

Staying in town was nice because we got to catch up with some folks who visited... meanwhile avoiding holiday traffic! :) Our friends who moved to Florida were in town for a few days, and it was nice to catch up and see how big the kiddies had gotten!

Being home for the holidays also meant that we could put to use some of our new kitchen gifts, which we love! Chopping bell peppers with better knives or turning potstickers in easy to clean, heavy duty pans was never so much fun. We still need to try out our Waffle maker and our new Panini press... (Thanks Mac!)

We did a holiday dinner at Herman's sister's house... I still forget sometimes that I now have two sisters... (in-laws)... One had just moved back to California from Michigan, and it's awesome to have them back!

I'm looking forward to a fun 2008... there's a bunch of weddings on the way (yeah mel/jason, rex/genie, nary/yuiwing & albert/shana!) and so many brand new babies, (melia, kianna, dylan, olive!) trips to hopefully plan (first visit to New York would be nice!) and a lot of catching up with friends we haven't seen in a while.


Cheers to a New Year!!
