Back to Reality

J and I arrived in St. Louis late last night after spending the last week and a half traveling.  During that time we did the following:

• Visited 3 families in 3 states (Nebraska, Missouri and California)
• Received lots of great gifts--details coming so stay tuned!  For part one of this series, visit here
• Spent a day in San Diego walking through Old Town and eating great Mexican food
• Went to the Holiday Bowl (sadly Nebraska lost)
• Spent lots of time in my parents' newly repaired hot tub
• Had an open house with friends at my parents' home
• Went for a long hike with my mom, sister and our dogs
• Read two books: The Red Queen and The New York Regional Singles Halloween Dance--book reviews to follow!
• Made sushi with my parents and siblings--recap and photos to follow!
• Ate a fabulous New Years Eve dinner--menu, recipes and details on how I can cross another 130 Before I'm Thirty goal off my list!
• Went to the Rose Parade and viewed all the beautiful floats
• Spent lots of time laughing and sharing with family and friends
• Made some New Year resolutions--which I will share with you soon!
• Discovered our heat had stopped working sometime while we are gone--hopefully it gets fixed today
• Learned my car has a completely flat tire--looks like we will be buying new tires shortly!

Whew.  That's a lot of activities and that means there will be lot of blog posts on the horizon, so stay tuned! 

How were your holidays, friends?
