Ski Trip

Ready to Ski with Collene!

Fri we went on a ski trip to New Hampshire with Rowdy's work. We spent the day skiing there and then headed to Vermont for the night and another day of skiing. I'll post those pictures later.

Last Day!

Cozumel was wonderful! The people at the resort gave EXCEPTIONAL service. They made us feel like royalty and catered to our every need! We relaxed, snorkeled, para sailed, swam with dolphins, ate delicious food and desserts, had the finest wine and cocktails and met some really great people! I give our trip a 4.9/5.0. I would definitely recommend the Cozumel Palace Resorts to everyone!!!

Swimming with Dolphins

HUGS!!!!
MUAH!!!!

Rowdy in the Dolphin park

This was the most exciting part of our trip! We got to swim, hug, kiss, and play with the dolphins for 30 minutes!!! They were SO adorable!!! I had to take pictures of the pictures we purchased, because I have yet to develop our waterproof camera. I will post those when I get them. Anyway, Rowdy and I were the only two in the water with them. Usually there's a group of 12 or more, but it was raining and cold, so no one else signed up!!! It was the best experience and so much fun!!!

Are you Kidding Me????

Our University made CNN Headline news today for a bomb and anthrax scare! Some crazy kid was upset about his grades! How sad!

Mexican Fiesta Show

The making of "Sexy Coffee"...an Italian dessert coffee. I loved the presentations of the desserts almost as much as eating them!
Rowdy enjoying his dessert!

On this night, we all enjoyed dinner at the Italian Restaurant. We also caught some of the Fiesta outside. Each night, the hotel had a different show to keep us entertained.

Parasailing

Off we go!!!

On the 4th day, we decided to go parasailing with Liz and her boyfriend Tim. Liz and I went up together and I'm SO SO glad, because I don't think I would've liked being up there alone! It was SO scary and SO fun all at once. I think I was more worried about landing in the ocean, with all the sea creatures and SHARKS, than anything!

Laura Laughlin

My eyes are filled with tears as I write this. Words alone cannot express how sorry I am to hear the news that Laura Laughlin has passed away. Everyone I know, that heard her story, was touched by it, as I was. She will continue to be an inspiration to me and will always remain in my thoughts. I want to express my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.

Mexico Cont......

Goofing around on the pier

On this particular night, we went to the Mexican restaurant, at our hotel. We met some new friends(the night before at Asian while doing Saki bombs), that we ended up hanging out with the remainder of the trip. Rowdy wasn't in any of the photos because he and everyone elses significant others, were watching the game, so we were left to entertain ourselves! OH well....I think we had a better time! Still more to come.....

While I was in Tucson, I got to visit with some of my family I haven't seen in awhile, as well as Rowdy's family. I especially enjoyed playing with our nieces Hailey and Jasmine!

SO COLD!

My brother Sam, the night it snowed!

It was absolutely FREEZING here today! I'm so glad that furry little groundhog didn't see his shadow! He just better be right on having an early spring! Fortunately, we've been very lucky to have such a mild winter, so I can't complain! The whole country seems to have experienced some interesting weather. It even snowed in AZ when I was there. Now that was weird!!!

Thank You!

I just wanted to say THANK YOU to our dear friends, Susan and James, for sending us this beautiful arrangement to cheer me up! It was SO thoughtful and we are truly grateful to have you in our life! The picture doesn't even capture how lovely it really is! Thank you again!
