Middle of January Already?

I can't believe it is the middle of January ALREADY!!! Work for me has been super busy with year-end, PwC audit, export metrics and my SOX testing due - all at once.

Christopher is enjoying his new job at Nativity Miguel School and has started a "bow tie Friday" trend. I got together with one of my close friends and found out she is EXPECTING!!! Baby Urban coming July 1st! I can't wait to be an aunt again!

Christopher's brother Chet gave us his Bandits tickets while he and the family were out of town - Thanks Chet! We had a wonderful time and got to see the Bandits start their season with a win.

Little Jameson had his neuter performed. He is doing fine and was back to his normal self in...two hours. Seriously. He is resilient and was playing, eating and bugging Marv within a few hours of being home.

The rest of the month is busy and exciting for us too. We have our friends wedding "reception" party to attend. They were married the same weekend as Dave & Abby, but in Jamaica, so their family is throwing them a little party here. We have networking events, board meetings. I am looking forward to a date night with Christine!!! Woo hooo! And we are squeezing in a visit with the Simm Family in Rochester. Looking forward to meeting baby Emma!

Long Time No See

It has been a while since I have last blogged. We have been busy with our activities. I feel like the last couple of weeks have been filled with sporting events, bridal showers and home projects.

In March we went to a Bandits game (courtesy of Chris’ brother Chet) and met up with a bunch of friends before and after the game. The same weekend, Chris went to the CHS State Championship game with his family and helped cheer CHS to state victory! I was asked to become a mentor for the No Boundaries program run through Fleet Feet and sponsored by New Balance. Our first run was yesterday in the bitter cold and wet weather. I was happy to see the weather did not deter the participants and about 75% showed! Looking forward to next week and the rest of the season as we prepare to race in the Koman run.

Lets Go BANDITS!

In March I also attended two showers and had a shower discussion. My friend Jenn Moore had a lovely shower at the Buffalo Yacht Club hosted by her family and Therese had another shower hosted by the Urban Family. I hosted my family over to discuss and plan my cousin’s shower. The Aunts are sure funny when they all get together. We will be meeting again in May to go over the final details.

Chris and I are still deciding on where to go on vacation. We were so sure about Punta Cana, but lately, we have been missing Disney…we shall see what happens! Any suggestions, please let us know!

Our First Anniversary Disney Trip :)

This past weekend I began our first home project of 2013 – refinishing our hardware stairs. I prepped, sanded, cleaned and started to stain and paint the stairs. So far, so good! I am looking forward to finishing the project this weekend and will take more pictures of them completed.

We also attended GAMBIT, CHS’ big formal fundraiser. Chris and I had a ton of fun with our friends and came home with a bunch of loot! We cleaned up well, don't you think?
