Since i haven't blogged in a long time here's an up date as to what's happened over the past couple of months.
1 - Tom and I went to NYC again in the first weekend of december. We hung out with Abby, & her crew, went to
Rockefeller Center to see the tree (It was the craziest most packed place ever) and didn't actually see the tree up close because it was just too insane. We ended up watching the Macy's Snowflake-show thingy, a dazzling display of snowflakes set to techno x-mas songs. All in all it was still pretty, and we escaped the crowds to go for a beer afterwards. We also caught a Raptors-Nicks game at MSG, we were the only ones in our section cheering for the Raptors, and the only ones who sang O Canada. The Raptors punished the Nicks, so there!
3 - While in New York, we decided on a day trip to Bethlehem, PA where our friend Marnie has a house. Whilst in the town we took some time to see the Moravian Putz. Basically, it's a really old-school diarama from the 50's that is set to a voice-over of the story of baby jesus. It was bizarre and interesting. We bought some hand-made items in their quaint gift shop and all felt better about the world.
Later on that Night, while we were drunk and laying in bed, Tom asked me to marry him! I didn't hesitate and said yes. And then i got a bit blown away at the fact that I'm going to be someone's WIFE so i couldn't get to sleep for like 3 hours. But it blew over and by the morning i was just happy :)
4 - Before all this, my mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. She was lucky to find it early but still has to go
through surgery, chemo, and radiation. She's gone through 2 bouts of Chemo already and is such a beacon of hope to me. Through it all, she's been positive, her same old jovial, loving self. That's part of the reason why the first thing I said to Tom about our marriage was that I didn't want gifts - I want people to donate money to cancer research. We both have enough "stuff", in some cases we even had 2 of the same thing after moving in together.
5 - We had a great time over Christmas seeing lots of family, and got some decent loot. We got to play Apples to Apples a couple of times and had a nice little New Year's party at our place with some friends. I made way too many Jello shooters, the remainders of which are still in my fridge.
6- My friend Rannie came over last week with his Wii and we had an awesome time. I love the Wii, I really really want one. Boxing is the best game on it, it's such a great workout. Of course i dressed up like a goof because i love to be ridiculous and make people laugh.
Our next trip will be to Beautiful British Columbia in February. I will take lots of pictures of trees, mountains and storms, see friends and family, and smell the salt air. Hopefully we will get somewhat good weather, and no crazy wind storms like they've been having there lately.
