Aspen, Colorado 2009

Adam and I went sking in Aspen back in 2007 and we just knew when we decided to go sking this year that we had to go back to Aspen.

Our hotel on the left

We went for a whole week the week before Christmas,just the two of us and it was wonderful. We rented a condo right in the middle of downtown Aspen, about a block from the base of Aspen Mountain complete with a fireplace and mountain view. The town was all decorated for Christmas complete with snow:)

On our last ski trip I broke my hand the second day we were there, this trip was so much better. I had a wonderful ski instructor "Steen" and I acutally learned how to ski this trip. I had such a good time, it's much more fun skiing without a cast on your hand:)

We did some other activites while we were there, we took a snowmobiling tour which was awesome. the mountains are absolutley beautiful. Tried ice skating (we only lasted about 15 mins).

It was an aweseome trip and I can not wait to go back to Aspen again!!

Verges Rome Christmas Party

As usual I am very behind in my posting.... I have all these "drafts" saved I just never got around to acutally posting anything.
So lets all go back and remember December 2009.......

This year our office Christmas party was at the Roosevelt Hotel downtown (The old Fairmont Hotel). The hotel was decorated for Christmas and it looked beautiful!

The party was lots of fun. This year was the first Christmas that Corey has been working with me. So of course Corey had to stand up and do the traditional "new person" speech, I think the few drinks he got in before hand helped him out:)

After dinner we all went down to the Sazarac Bar to enjoy some more cocktails, good times. :)

Me, Trinity and Holly

Thanksgiving 2009

This year I went with Adam to his parents place in Ms. for Thanksgiving. It was a nice time, the whole family was there except his little sister. I even finally got to meet his younger brother Joe and his wife. We had lots of delicious food, played outside, made a big campfire and ate smores:)

Miami-November 2009

Back in November Adam had a radiology conference to go to in Miami so I figured I had never been to Miami why not tag along?

We stayed at the most beautiful hotel I have ever been to, The Biltmore in Coral Gables, the pool is the 2nd largest hotel pool in the country which was nice since I spent most of my time by the pool while Adam was in lectures:)

Of course we ventured down to South Beach as well, nice place to visit but I wouldn't want to live in Miami.

Adam and his stone hard crabs......:)

Halloween 2009

Yes I know it's two days before Christmas and I am just getting around to posting about Halloween but better last than never right????

Halloween this year was lots of fun. My running friends Sraah and Mark threw a party at their place in the French Quarter that was a good time.

Kimaree, Andrew, Doug and me

Adam went as a giant whoppee cushion and I went as Carmen Miranda, of course my mom slaved over my costume and it came out awesome! For some reason though the Whoppee Cushion was a bigger hit???
