Extra Day Off!

My, it has been a while...here I am. No, I did not fall off the face of this Earth!

Lots of things have happened since I last published an entry. Let's see...We did go on that Alaskan cruise, and boy was it fun. I think this was my favorite cruise, so far. Eric's younger daughter, Irene had a baby girl in December, on the 15th. Her name is Jade, and she is beautiful and healthy.

Eric's older daughter, Dawn joined the Army in May, and is currently stationed at Ft. Riley, KS. Dawn is being deployed to Iraq tomorrow morning. Hopefully we will be able to keep in contact with her while she is there. We all have joined Facebook, now, and think that will help.

Oh, one more big thing...Eric and I finally tied the knot on November 14th of 2008! It wasn't a big event, but it was so much fun, and perfect for us. We were in Las Vegas, celebrating Eric's dad's 80th birthday, and we got married while there in our city of lights. My best friend in the world, Ida was there to be our witness, and no one else. What a fun night it was! We really wanted something like this instead of some huge, fancy affair with hundreds of people...how nerve wracking, not to mention expensive. We plan to take a proper honeymoon to Europe as soon as our schedules will allow.

Also, my co-op opened a second store on January 15th of this year, and I work there on Mondays and Tuesdays. It is a very nice store, modern and gorgeous. Hopefully, we will continue to get busier and busier.

Today is an extra day off for me, and I intend to enjoy it to the max. I will head to Starbucks, and watch part of an "Ace of Cakes" marathon that starts at 11 (I do know how to live it up, don't I?). Who knows what else the day may bring, but I am happy to have this little extra time off.
