Well I hope everyone had a good day. I don’t usually give in to the prefab American Holiday stuff, but it is nice that one day out of the year we are a little extra special to each other. Sean and I didn’t do too much. I took him to Mangia, his favorite pizza place here in Austin, and he took me to Quacks 43rd Street Bakery, my favorite cookie and coffee place in Austin. Then we stayed in for the evening and just relaxed. It was perfect.

Well I hope you all had a good day.

Well we hope everyone had a safe and happy holiday season. We also hope you had as much fun ringing in the New Year as we did. We were lucky enough to be able to visit our friends Becky and Michael in Kentucky. They took us to a very remote town called Seco. There we met their friends and danced the evening away at a place called the Highland Winery. Yep, that’s right folks, they make wine in them hills. Needless to say we had a great time. We also spend a few days in Hazard where they’ve been living for the last two years. And as much as we enjoyed seeing a bit of Eastern Kentucky we’re happy they’re moving to Memphis, Tennessee. From what we understand they’ll be there starting at the end of February. We wish them safe travels and happy moving.

As for the rest of our holiday… well we did it all: (more…)
