Same Old...Same Old

Well, not much has changed since Christmas. We had a great El Paso Christmas. Nice, quiet and sunny was what we had this year. It was nice to not be running around between two families with our heads cut off. My Mother's visit was short but, fun and definately overdue. I think she needs to come to visit about every six months. I hope she wasn't too boerd with little to do here as far as entertainment goes. I did take her to Mesilla Valley to go shopping and while I was at work Todd took her to the Missions of El Paso. I don't know a lot about it, but I guess some early settlers passed through or something. All and all it was a good time.
Now to the good news...We are going to.....Alaska!!! I am so excited I can't stand it! My family is going on a Caribean Cruise to Alaska in July for a whole week. The only bad thing is that it takes up my vacation time so that I can't come home this summer. Hopefuly though, we might come home for a short weekend in February. Todd's cousin is getting married over Valentines and I hope to come with Todd. Cross your fingers so when, or if, I come we can get the crew together for Lunch or something.

For sure let me know if you come in February!! And by the way, the sweater was for a contest at Ryan's work for the ugliest Christmas sweater (we thought the turtleneck was a nice touch :) Don't worry, Ryan hasn't started dressing like that regularly! And yeah, that's Sally... She wasn't in the picture when we went forever ago and made ginger bread houses at my house, remember that?
