ALOHA!!!

The definition of PARADISE... Hawaii! If you have never been, you MUST go one time in your life!!! We had an absolute blast, the best trip we have ever been on. You must fly first class... so much better and I recommend getting a jeep... best decision we made!! We did a ton of things...went to a luau, snorkeling twice, Drew played golf at Kapalua (where the Mercedes golf tournament is held in January), I went to the Ritz Carlton spa, we both went to the Westin spa on our "real" anniversary, had fabulous, fabulous meals, watched surfers, explored the island, hung out at our hotel pool and rode the water slides 150 times, etc. etc. We stayed at the Ka'anapali Beach Resort and the Westin.

It's getting ready to be a YEAR!!!

Drew and I leave tomorrow morning for 10 days in Hawaii to celebrate our one year anniversary!!! We are going to Maui and if we get a wild hair we will fly to another island as well. We are so excited!!! In honor of our anniversary here is a little video from our wedding my friend Jennie took.

Thanks Drew for the most amazing time of my life. I love you more than words can say. I am so blessed to have you in my life. Thanks for bringing me so much happiness!


So you think you can dance?

My birthday part 2

My VERY sweet husband surprised me with roses, DIAMOND EARRINGS!!!!, and lots more. He also remembered my very favorite ice cream cake. My sweet parents came on Saturday to help me celebrate as well. So all in all, even though I am fat and old I still had a fabulous birthday!

My birthday-- Chicago style!

As of last Thursday I am another year older... ugh! I hit the big 32! I was kind of bummed b/c I had to be in Chicago for a sales meeting. I LOVE my friends at work so I knew regardless it would still be fun. It actually turned out to be a great birthday!!! My boss surprised us and instead of sitting in a boring hotel conference room all day we got to go "play" downtown all day. We also got to stay at a fabulous resort! We went out to a great Italian restaurant for lunch.. they sang to me then. We went on an architectural boat tour.. very interesting. We also had cocktails at Dick's Last Resort and Bubba Gumps on Navy Pier. To end the night we went to a very Miami style Spanish restaurant where I was surprised by a lot of singing and a birthday cake. Thanks Fiandre group for giving me such a happy birthday!

Missy and Joy. They are both pregnant and sharing a non alcoholic daiquiri. At Dicks they are supposed to be rude as part of their whole gig. They put condoms in the girls drink :)
