Closing out 2011 with my family

I always say I'm going to be able to blog more, and fully believe it when I think "I'll have lots of time to blog about my trip," but that's far from the case. Right now I have the time because I'm finally uploading my pics from the trip thus far and we have to be quiet and calm because my baby nephew is awake and needed him some pb sammich.

It's been a crazy beautiful week of chillaxin' with my family - got in on Wednesday night, breakfast date with almost the whole NC Kota crew Thursday, Wake Forest v. Yale basketball game, helping my moxie little nieces start their cupcake business, wario playing until the wee hours, grocery shopping, and tonight - the all out best part - a New Year's Eve party with sparkling grape juice, pizza rolls, cheese slices, new nail polish and 6 of the best people I could ever hope to be with to ring in the new year. The only thing missing is my awesome husband. Love you Steve!!

Here's a quick photo montage of the trip -

I hope you're having as much fun as I am! Happy 2012 to you and yours!
-p.

Delay, delay, delay. Stupid southwest airlines! now i won't get home until midnight...blah!

I don't want to go home!

Tonight is the last night of our glorious honeymoon...then back to real life. Work on Friday, the whole nine. But I still have so much more to say about the trip. I'll be able to spend more time telling y'all about all the great things we saw once I get home. But for now - I need some prayers.   "Why?", you ask. First, because I'm pretty sure that my baggage is over it's weight limit. We're allowed two bags each, but I only have one...and it's damn heavy! Secondly - I burned my face.  It was the sun again. He is totally not my friend!

I hope to see y'all soon once we get back in town. Tomorrow we'll be traveling all day and don't get into Buffalo until like 11 p.m. or so.

Love ya!

Off to watch the sunset w/ the love of my life, my husband steve kerr!

Natives on the rock?!?!?! WOW!

I had no idea about the "indian occupation" of Alcatraz Island until today. 19 months of harsh climates and living conditions in an effort to take back some land and hold America to the treaties. Well, now I have a book on it...I'll let you borrow it when I get back home!

Waiting for the boat to take off! all aboard!

Up an' at 'em! going to tour alcatraz today! hope they don't keep me!
