OMG! I cannot believe it's been so long since I've been able to post. It has been a crazy and fun Christmas and New Years. My family & friends Christmas Eve party was great!! We had so much fun... especially with the white elephant gift exchange. My mother in law stayed with us for a week and we had such a wonderful time with her. I am very, very blessed to have the most wonderful mother in law on Earth!! =) We went all around the metroplex and walked our fannies off... LOL. We took her to the Gaylord Texan to see all the lights. Wow... they really know how to do Christmas BIG! It was absolutely breathtaking. I was able to get some much needed down time for myself as well. The week went by so fast and it was sad to say goodbye to her when she had to go.
We had no kids for New Years, so we decided to meet my parents, and some friends, at Choctaw Casino in Oklahoma. I've never been anywhere but home on New Years Eve, so it was a weird feeling at first. However, I quickly shook it off once we got to the buffet... LOL. Scott and I decided to give ourselves one last all you can eat splurge before beginning our new eating lifestyle in 2011. It was a magnificent spread of all you can stuff in your belly boiled shrimp, fried shrimp, crab legs, prime rib, Chinese food, pizza, pasta, salad, pork, all the fixings you can think of, and so too many desserts to remember. I will tell you that, after we ate, I had to change out of my jeans and into my pj bottoms to give me enough room to breathe... LOL.
Then we met up with our friends and commenced gambling the night away. =) At midnight we gathered by the band and brought in the new year with lots of noise, confetti, sparkling apple cider, and a kiss from my one true love. <3 Then more gambling. At one point we were $150 ahead, but we wanted to keep playing. We outlasted everyone we came with, and all the machines. We left when we started losing which was around 4:30am. We hit Grapevine at 6:00am, stopped at IHOP for some breakfast, then hit a friends house for some much needed sleep. We ended up breaking even and came back with the same amount as when we left, so I guess we did pretty good. Our good friend was out of town, so we stayed at his place and rested the rest of the weekend by watching the Lord Of The Rings trilogy on his 52" HD Flat-screen TV. Awesome!! =)
I must say that I am having a hard time adjusting to being back at work all day after our awesome vacation. It gives me much motivation to want to succeed in my business so that we can take vacations whenever we want, and then to actually look forward to coming back and doing work that I love and have a passion for... so then it wouldn't really be fair to call it work...lol. Tomorrow I will be setting my 2011 goals for every part of my life. I will post them so you guys can help keep me accountable. hehehe... I can't wait... I just know it's going to be a Great Year! =)
