More Family in AZ

Our niece Jasmine(My sister-in-law Regan's child)

Below: My cousin, Golriz(my mom's niece)

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!

Johnny

He was such an adorable little boy!!! John and my other brother Sam playing soccer.

Sorry I haven't updated in awhile. This will be a difficult post for me. I had an unexpected tragedy in my family. My youngest brother Johnny(dad's son) passed away unexpectedly on Jan 13, 10 days after his 19th birthday. I'd been in Tucson, AZ till late Thurs, so I apologize if I've neglected to return phone calls. I still can't make sense of why this happened, but I know I need to learn to accept that he's gone.

One Tequila, Two Tequila, Three Tequila.....

FLOOR! Yeah, we met some friends poolside that day and joined them after dinner for a Tequila party! Probably NOT the best idea, but when in Rome.....

Myself, Jeremy, Rowdy, Charlie, and Danielle. Jeremy and Danielle are married and from Manhatten, NY and Charlie was from New Orleans. They were fun!

Still more to come.....

Private Dinner

One of the nightly shows.
YUMMY!
This means trouble!

The hotel gave Rowdy and I a private dinner overlooking the Sea for our honeymoon. It was very lovely.

Trip to Cozumel .......

View of Bill Gates's ship from our balcony

We're back from our trip! We had a WONDERFUL time although the first day was a little rough. They didn't have our suite available, so we got stuck in a small room facing the street! I was NOT a happy camper considering we paid for a suite facing the Ocean for 6 days, not 5! They straightened it out the next day, THANK GOODNESS and then all was great!

Here are a few views from our balcony at different times and days throughout our trip! Bill Gates was also visiting and staying on his private yacht! It was quite extravagant! His helicopters would land on the boat, taking him to and from the reefs for scuba diving. Anyway, our room was lovely(well, once we got the suite) and stocked with everything one would need! We also enjoyed lounging in the hammock as often as time would allow!

More to come.......

ADIOS Amigos!!

We leave early tomorrow morning for our trip! We're so excited!!

Be back in a week!

Happy New Year!

yor FACE!

New Year's Eve, we started the night with dinner at Grafton Street, in Harvard Square. They had a delicious menu of 3 course meals! Caroline and I had Filet Mignon, Rowdy had Lobster Thermador, and Damien had a leg of lamb! It was really very yummy!! We stayed for a few hours eating, chatting and enjoying our cocktails, before heading to Roshni's house to break in 2007!

Damien's Visit!

Before

After

Damien flew in from Chicago on Fri morning! He actually made his first flight, so we were very proud of him!!!! The boys decided to go out, while Dom and I stayed in to make Purple Haze martinis!

House of Laziness!

We had a very nice and RELAXING Christmas Day, as you can see! We ate, slept and slept some more! The cats did much of the same!

Rowdy and I also went to see the "Pursuit of Happiness". It was a great movie!

Hangin out with Chris and Caroline - Sat Night!

Christmas Party

Bill, ME, Dom and Eric @the Club

Rowdy playing a game

Rowdy's work had a Christmas Party lastThurs. I gather we had a good time because the party started at noon and we didn't get home till almost 9pm! Well, actually, we had 3 hours of scheduled fun, including singing, games, etc, at the Base Chapel and then took the party to the Base Club for our own fun! Once again, I really didn't have a chance to get many pictures.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KEELEE!

HOPE YOU HAVE A FABULOUS DAY!

AFA Christmas Party

The three of us with Mr. McD(below)

On Fri, we went to the Air Force Association Christmas Party @ the Marriott in Burlington, MA. Rowdy's co-worker Steve is the President and let's just say, they sure know how to throw a party! We all had an amazing time and dinner was delicious. We mingled most of the night with Rowdy's new boss Mr McD------ (aka Frank's dad). He even gave us some ballroom dancing tips! Unfortunately, I was only able to get a few photos towards the end of the evening.

Emily's Birthday Night

Ben and Rowdy
Red Sky
Kristen, Emily, ME, Roshni, Harmony and Christy @Aqua

Thursday was Emily's Birthday, so we all headed downtown to the Aqua Bar andGrill in the Financial District for some cocktails and appetizers and then ended the evening at the Red Sky. Ben also drove into town from New Hampshire to hang out with us since we both had Fri off.

We all had a great time, as usual.
