Recap

Damn it.  Once again, I've let too many months go in between posts.  Here are some highlights from the past few months.

• We hosted Thanksgiving with my parents, Greg & Kerrice.  Everything was delicious...except for the sweet potatoes I'd never even put in the oven. 
• Christmas was lovely.  We saw everyone and spent the following week together at home. 
• We had another small pajama party for NYE.  It's my favorite.  John says we should make annual t-shirts.
• In January we said good-bye to a dear friend, Ray Galloway.  He passed away suddenly and we were all shocked and saddened.  The graveside service was beautiful, snow covered the ground and many people came to pay their respect.  Reba Russell sang a few verses and we stayed a bit to listen to some blues and drink a beer for Ray. 
• Valentine's Day was sweet & simple.  John sent the prettiest flowers and we had a delicious dinner at home.  A few days afterwards, Mom & Dad took us all out to Chez Yasu for another celebration.
• We celebrated our friend Brenda's 40th birthday in February.  It was quite the week. Dinner on her birthday, margaritas, mexican food and cake on Friday night.  And on Saturday, John, Javier & I took her out for a sophisticated night on the town. Sophisticated meaning, getting fancy cocktails at interesting places and a late dinner in a dimly lit restaurant. 
• John and I started doing some much needed work on our bathroom. We took the wonky glass doors off and replaced them with a shower curtain. I love it!  Now I want to replace the mirrors with medicine cabinets, paint and update some hardware.  
• We reserved "our" house in Albuquerque for a week's vacation in late June.  Cannot wait!
