Merry Christmas!!

I hope that you all have a very Merry Christmas.

May it be filled with Family, friends, food and lots and lots of LOVE!!!

Santa was very good to us this year....

 

Holidays are here...

WOW! that was fast.  Its been such a whirlwind the past few months that it feels weird to be so mellow right now. It was awkward at first to be sitting with not much to do. I'm settling in though. It feels really good to be home. 

So now the holidays are here.  I've gotten just a bit of shopping done. Major stuff mostly. This year i've decided to go lite. last year we were really spoiled so this year we are toning it down.  I haven't done as much decorating this year because Jimmy has been working on the house and every time i put something up...he took it down. Turkey butt.  But the house looks fabulous.  We painted and redid a bit of the front of the house. We put in a new driveway and added a bunch of rock out front. it doesn't even look like my house.

We're having a party Saturday night. So not ready for that either. But getting there.

Jimmy and i decided that we are going to NYC for New Years Eve. We've been home for so many years with the kids that we thought this is our chance to have a good time away from home.  I'm super excited.

Lots of life going on.  Can't wait to share more.

Payments:

There are (3) three payment options.  Payment in full, payment in 10 monthly payments, due on the 15th of each month, with the final balance due in full on May 15, 2012, or Payment for Event with NO accommodations.  You can also sign up to RESERVE your spot through December 31st for $100.00 if you want to wait until January to start making full payments.

 

Here is a new special from Laura to help ease you through the holidays!!

From NOW until December 31st, they can SIGN UP and RESERVE their spot for only $100!  I know people have added expenses at this time of year so I wanted to make it easier for them to hold their spot for the event.  So instead of paying the $550 1st payment, they can reserve their spot for only $100 and not have to make payments until middle of January!  All the information is on the site under "Registration".

There is also a 4th payment option for those who live in Italy and don't need accommodations.  This could also be an option for anyone that would like to book their own hotel in Bellagio, because this payment option doesn't include hotel accommodations.

Lovin the warmth in Florida!

Got in late last night....good night sleep... Rocked the classes today and back at the hotel. Long day. Weather is nice and warm just how I like it... More classes tomorrow and my beautiful daughter flies in to have some mommy time. Looking forward to it!

whirlwind...time to fly again!

i feel like i just got home from Europe and now i'm off to Florida.  I finished up all the last minute stuff and now i'm ready to go.

Off to the airport....At least i will be leaving rain and heading into sunshine.  LOVE that.

See you tonight Florida!!!  looking forward to it :)

overwhelmed and rambling...

i have this sinking feeling of being overwhelmed tonight.  I just feel like crying. I think my feelings are hurt and maybe my ego a little bruised. Maybe my girl stuff is coming and that is what it is. I don't know. 

I leave for Norway on Thursday. I'm not ready. I have so much to do and there is not enough time. I screwed off the one good weekend that i had to get stuff done. Actually i screwed off most of the week last week.  I shouldn't have set my logic aside, i should've stuck by it. But no! Bad choices. Felt right at the time. Sure i had fun. BUT damn it! I should've gotten my work done.

anyway i'm just rambling...

incredibly proud

I am so very proud of my cousin Jason Bond. He is more like a brother than he ever was a cousin. We spent most of our lives together until he moved away.

He lives in New Jersey now and he is an amazing man. He has been in charge for many years of taking care of the trees that are to be used in the 9/11 memorial at ground zero. He started them from saplings out on some land and has nurtered them into beautiful trees that are now at the site of the memorial.

He has been on the news and interviewed for documentaries. His wife sent this to all of the family and friends...so that we could watch the documentary.

Keep up the good work Jason. I love you and i'm so very proud of you!!!

 

Just a reminder that Rising: The Rebuilding of Ground Zero <http://dsc.discovery.com/videos/the-rising/>  will air on the Discovery Channel this evening.  We wish there was no need for this Memorial or this documentary, but we are proud that our family was able to be part of this important, historical project.  The show was interesting last week.  Jason was filmed and interviewed for the documentary, though I am not sure which episode he will be in.


He continues to be interviewed almost daily.  We have no idea when and where these interviews will air (at this point many of the interviewers do not have the information, but are just saying that it will air on the days leading up to 9/11 and during and after the ceremonies on CNN, FOX and several syndicated networks such as ABC, CBS and NBC), but you may just turn on your TV and see him!   

Here is Jason Being interviewed. So proud of him
