My friends Anne Marie and Katie had a baby shower for me at Vito's office this weekend. It was super sweet and just what I wanted. It was small, no lame games, plenty of alcohol (that I couldn't drink) and no public present opening. I really enjoyed it and felt so loved. We laughed a lot! It just felt like a fun party..
It was great being surrounded by fun family and friends.
I can't believe I only have 4 1/2 weeks to go! It's really going by so fast.

New YeArS.. rustic StYle.

We spent New Years up at my friend Brian's little cabin for a couple of nights with Heather and Ali. It was cold and quiet... really cold. It was 18 below zero the morning we packed up the car to come home. We spent our days playing cards, eating Vito's yummy food and laughing a lot. We did spend one afternoon at the dive bar in Hartsel, CO which is a few miles from the cabin. We asked the lady who owned the bar if the bar had anything going on for new years.. her response, "no.. hope not. we're closing at 4." It was a relaxing couple of days. And now this week back to work!
