Well...the year is finally coming to a close. We have a really busy week at school. Field trip tomorrow...5th grade promotion on Wednesday...followed by more school days before the end finally arrives. But when it does it will be a sweet ending...Chris and I are headed to Greece! Woohoo. We are so lucky to have a good friend house sitting for us and taking care of our two dogs. It really makes leaving easier when you know your life will be taken care of!
So...we are officially beach and Aegean Sea bound.
Happy tanning...drinking...and eating.

Once again...long time...no blog
Life is crazy. I often wonder where the time goes. The school year has flown by. TRAILS is starting session 3. I mean...really...where does life go. This month has been great. I have visited with great friends celebrating birthdays...taught fabulous children at school...enjoyed brunch with fabulous friends...and spent time with family. Life is great and exhausting! This week is going to be crazy...SOLs are quickly arriving and our bathroom needs to be finished before Chris turns 30. But on the plus side this coming weekend we will be hanging with our loyal dogs, then watching the Kentucky Derby with some great friends at their new condo...and then heading to a beer tasting with more good friends! Like I said. Life is good. Off to bed now. School and children await tomorrow.

Pictures from the last 2 months!
Most recent snow!
Chris being lazy with the dogs during the blizzard. 
I might have baked all these cookies before everyone was up. West coast time did not agree with me.
Hector is not sure if he loves Uncle Chris!
Hector at Christmas!
Neal, Stephanie, Chris, and I before Neal left for Afghanistan (Thanksgiving)! Where has the time gone?
We have been so very busy these past few months. We had such a wonderful Christmas visiting with Chris's brother,wife,and new baby Hector. We spent the new year with my family here in Arlington - but missed my little brother Neal. He has been in Afghanistan now for 2 months. They are getting ready for a major marine offensive, and we are just thinking about him and his safety each day.
We have also been snowed in for days. I cannot believe that DC has gotten this much snow this year. I am scared to go back to school next week...the kids are not going to know what to do with themselves! We have enjoyed the extra time at home though - we played a ton of solitaire, cooked a few good meals, and spent some quality time playing with the dogs. Real life is about to begin again - but before it does Chris's folks will be coming for a visit...to help us tile our bathroom. We tore out the wallpaper with the intentions of just painting, but the walls were in such bad shape that we had to tear them out. So, we figured we would just go ahead and give it an overhaul. We got a great deal on some gorgeous glass tile, and will be redoing the shower in glass and then putting subway tile with a glass strip halfway up the walls! It is going to be a long few days.
Here's hoping spring is just around the corner, and keep Neal and his fellow Marines in your thoughts.

December has arrived
Thanksgiving was fabulously fun...but so exhausting. I feel like I need a vacation after vacation. But on another note...I am now an Aunt and Chris is Uncle! Tony and Marisa had Hector Jacob last Wednesday. We cannot wait to meet him in a few weeks! Until then it will be a mad rush to get things finished up at school before Christmas...so...no down time till then.

Fabulous weekend in the big NYC
Chris and I had such an awesome time in NYC. I can't believe how huge the city is...and how busy it is all the time. We thought life was busy here. Wicked was fantastic...we also visited the Met to scope out some art. We ate lots of good food...including a fancy dinner out, pizza, and a hot dog from a street vendor! Thanks to my wonderful husband.
On a side note...did you know there are such things as "good" questions and "silly" questions. Loving the topics we are teaching at TRAILS!

Loving my hubby.
I cannot say how thankful I am to have such a wonderful husband. I knew that he had planned something fun...but I had no idea he planned a fabulous trip for us to NYC to celebrate my birthday and our 3rd anniversary! He even scored tickets to Wicked! The bottom line...I am so lucky.
