Last Full Moon of the Year

I had to get this shot through the trees. The moon was super huge and bright.

Merry Christmas!!!

I don't know why I only took a picture of 1/2 of the front, but this is what it looked like all decorated for Christmas!!! Merry Christmas!!!

Christmas Eve 2012

I didn't take many pictures of our Christmas Eve dinner. It was just Mom and Dad, Michael and I this year, but the clam chowder was the best as always and the clam dip, I could have eaten the whole thing by myself.

Well then end of the world has come and gone...I guess it really is true!!

Someone just didn't feel like having to finish up a calendar. I guess he figured someone else would step up and keep adding to it. It's even funnier when actual Mayans don't even believe that their calendar is ending and the world is going to end. I did watch this real cool documentary about the Mayans and their relationship to the Hopi Indians. They actually traded between their two civilizations. They walked the 1300 miles to each others land and traded goods. The Hopi's have their own end of the world prophecy rock, but the cool thing is that it actually predicted the invention of the internet. Google it and read about it...pretty smart Indians!!!

Christmas Tamales

Now I'm not one that sticks traditionally to doing tamales only once a year, but it has been awhile since I made them and well I went a little over board with the peppers this time around and almost killed myself and the neighbors tasting it for me to see if it was too spicy. I had to add a little sugar and butter to the mixture which actually turned out pretty good. Only problem is that I'm the only one with the iron stomach to eat them, because they are still pretty spicy!!!

Just because....

Won't happen in my lifetime again...I guess next year we can look at 11-12-13, but this was way cooler!!!

10 Years

I can't believe we have been married now for 10 years and together for 17 years. Wow I can't believe how fast time has flown. Here's a picture from 10 years ago.

Here's us 10 years later up at Signal Mountain this past October in Wyoming. Other than some grey hairs, I think we have both aged well!!!

We went back to the restaurant where HE was suppose to propose to me, but ended up not trusting the waiter to actually bring the ring to me. So he proposed to me at home instead of the "Stinking Rose." It was a good thing we are married because of all the Garlic that place puts on your food...get it the stinking rose? I had prime rib with about 20 cloves of garlic on it as well as garlic calamari and garlic rolls, with garlic mash potatoes. I didn't want to go with the garlic ice cream, so the very berry strawberry cheesecake won out, but I smelled like garlic for the whole weekend!! They had a big sign up for their "Thanksgiving" meal - 400 cloves of Garlic in that Turkey, they didn't say what size the turkey was going to be, but man that's A LOT of garlic in one bird!!!! So Happy 10 year Anniversary Babe...LOVE YA!!!
