This Month in News

Well...I just got back from a business trip in big bad NYC!

The Big Apple was averaging about 40 degrees the whole week, but bundling up was a nice change.  The city was packed since the tree lighting ceremony at Rockefeller Center was on Wednesday.  If you're guessing I did my best to stay away from the thousands of onlookers, you guessed right!  Sorry to disappoint, I'm just not down with the possibility of getting caught in a stampede.  Regardless of how packed Midtown was, the city was truly magical with all the Christmas decorations and lights.  It really is an exciting place and I feel truly blessed to visit-once in a while.  I wish I had pictures to share with you...maybe next time.

Geoff's birthday was the Monday before Thanksgiving.  My parents bought him the ice cream attachment for our kitchen-aid.  He's made strawberry and an extra special welcome home vanilla bean and peanut butter cup ice cream.  I eat around the cups (stupid frozen chocolate)...plus, the vanilla is seriously RIDICULOUS!  I'm just throwing it out there-I think he likes his new toy!

We're looking forward to the upcoming holiday here, it's gonna be a good one!  I think I'm going to attempt a pecan pie, for REALS!  Miss everyone great big and hope to see you all real soon!!!
