Oh Happy Day

What an incredible day today is! I know everyone who reads this blog did not vote for Barack Obama and that is ok. I still hope everyone can take a break today and experience history being made. I will be glued to the TV most of the day. I love news and am so excited to see our 44th president sworn into office. I know our new president won't be able to snap his fingers and fix everything in an instant. but I have faith that he will do his best to repair our country.

Miracle On The Hudson

I have been watching different news channels today and am amazed at what happened on the Hudson River in New York yesterday. A brilliant pilot made an emergency landing in a freezing cold river and there were no significant injuries. I think next time I fly I will pay a little more attention to the flight attendants when they do the safety announcements.

Visit with Friends

My dear friend Terri and her daughter Lauren will be staying with Adam and I this weekend. Terri brings Lauren to Chicago every year for her birthday and this year they are staying with us. Terri has not seen our awesome apartment yet. It will be great to have these two girls here for a visit. I am hoping to take them to our favorite sushi restaurant.

Snow

It is a cold and snowy day in Chicago. Adam and I were up early today because Adam had an appointment for service on his car. We dropped the car off and took the L home. It is so weird riding the L with Adam. I am so used to riding by myself.

Adam got into the city last night. We had dinner and watched Romancing the Stone. It was a strange movie. I didn't last through it all. The ending got really weird and I got really tired.

Today we are going to bum around house and wait for Adam's car to be done. I am hoping we will make a trip to Whole Foods after we get the car. It is very close to the car dealership. I've got some new recipes I want to try out and I haven't been to Whole Foods in forever.

V-A-C-A-T-I-O-N

It is that time again.........time for our annual ski trip to Colorado. Our friend Brendan sent us a text on Tuesday saying he had booked tickets, so Adam and I felt the need to plan our trip. We decided to cash in on some of Adam's frequent flyer miles and got one of our tickets for $7. Woohoo!!!!! I am very excited that we will be flying directly into Aspen this year. We usually fly into Denver and then rent a car to get out to Carbondale, which is where Adam's parents live. I think our vacation will seem longer because we won't be spending 7 hours driving to and from Denver. We fly out on February 10th and fly back home February 19th. I can't wait!!!!!!
