The holidays are OVER!!!!!!
Well, December was a blur. Of course, no excuse for not blogging, but I just came up with so many better things to do with my time, like work. I was so busy with year end projects for my customers that I felt like I lived at my desk for most of December, which I will say was worth it. I finished the month at 160% to budget. Woo-Hoo. Hopefully 2007 will be a successful year also. You never know when you are in sales.
We had an action packed holiday visiting schedule. On the 23rd we went to both Jeff's mom and dad's houses. It was the usual mix of boredom and guilt trips from them. I am still hopeful that eventually we won't have to go at all. I am pretty sure that will never happen, but do me a favor and cross your fingers. I did comment that the only way to avoid a visit next year would be to have food poisoning or be knocked up. And don't worry friends I will poison myself!
Our holiday trip did have some highlights...
The first would be meeting the adorable Connor Creighton Petkovich who was born on 12/23. Connor's mom is my best friend from college, Kim(Czarnecki) Petkovich. Kim had some complications with high blood pressure and was on bed rest for a few weeks, then hospitalized for about a week and then they had to induce her and Ta-DAH! We had a little tiny 2# Connor. Jeff and I lucked out and got to see the whole family about 4 hours after Connor was born. It was amazing to see Connor and think that someday he will be all grown up. He is still on a ventilator, however getting a little stronger everyday. Please keep Creighton, Kim & Connor in your prayers and I promise to take pictures as soon as Connor is up to making a blog debut!
The second would be getting to see our adorable pals Christine and Kevin. It ended up that all of us were staying at the Washington House Inn on 12/23. (www.washingtonhouseinn.com) So we got to meet them for a drink to celebrate Kevin's birthday which is 12/24 and it made both Jeff and I miss getting to see them as often as we used to when we were in Milwaukee. There is just something about these two that is so wonderful! They are fun, trendy, and great friends, Kevin was the photographer at our wedding and made our entire wedding weekend so special by capturing each moment. I can't say enough about them. I will say that I will be devoting an entire blog to them in the VERY near future.
The third highlight of our trip was spending Christmas Eve at the Caytano Club(aka Uncle Kenny and Auntie Jeanne's basement martini bar). We had such a wonderful time. Aunt Jeanne gives many of her homemade creations as gifts, which the whole family looks forward too. This year she & Kenny even made homemade BBQ sauce, which I am just dying to try, we received that with some salsa and red pepper jelly. As well as a fresh rosemary tree. SCRUMPTIOUS! If you would like to try Aunt Jeanne's home made products, she is currently selling them for $4 per jar:) Just say the word and we can ship some to you:)
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and wish you a very Happy New Year!

About time the infamous Auntie Jeanne makes an appearance on your blog. I've heard she's one fun chica!
I think I am going to officially adopt Auntie Jeannie as my own auntie too. :)
Congrats on an awesome sales year, super sales lady! Let's have another one! Our prayers go out to little Conner and the family.
