If you'd like to learn more about this great offer....head over to NikonProGear.com today!! You won't be sorry you did.

Tired

We had a great weekend, but boy am I tired. We have been going, going, going since Thursday morning. We had a great time at all three of the Thanksgivings we had on Thursday...got lots of yummy food and some time with our wonderful families! Friday we went shopping and found some outstanding deals and then went to the movie Fireproof! What a great movie!! Today we helped Jen's parents get their C-mas decorations up and now are working on our own. Hopefully tomorrow will be a little more relaxing for us before the work week starts up again.

Holsted Jewelers

Have you ever heard of Holsted Jewelers before? I had, but never had taken the time to check out their selection until just recently. They have been in business since 1971 and provide high quality designer jewelry, gifts and accessories at affordable prices!! Their large selection of fashionable merchandise is what has me interested in purchasing from this this holiday season. I also like knowing that they have millions of satisfied customers who have been with them for years! If you're looking for cutting edge designs and true classics when it comes to the discount jewelry you buy...Holsted Jewelers may be the place you want to shop. Check it out and see what you think!

Dancing Baby

My favorite thing to watch is Kaelyn dancing. She just loves music...so anytime she hears it she begins to dance. It's so fun to see her so happy all the time! :) Watching a baby dance is the cutest thing ever. Isn't it funny how we're all born with that natural tendency to move when we hear music. So cool!! She's even started to stand up in the middle of the room and stand there and dance on her own. That's a big thing, because Kaelyn has just started to stand on her own just recently.

Part of being a Homeowner....

Well...I have quite the busy day today. I'm helping Jen clean the house...then I have to get painting the ceiling in our family room. I started it last weekend, but have to finish it today. I'm not looking forward to it as it's a messy job...but I guess it's got to get done. I also have to recaulk our bath tub upstairs and do some raking if the ground dries up a little bit today. It seems like there's always something to do...I guess that's part of being a homeowner.

Vacation Time

Karisma Hotels is a place I'd really like to go visit at some point in the near future. This resort collection is located on the beautiful beaches of the Mexican Riviera Maya and offers a new gourmet-inclusive concept that I'd love to be a part of. They offer an elite level of service and make it a truly relaxing vacation that travelers will never forget! I was impressed to learn that they have many accommodations like beach side service gold where they treat you lik, swim up rooms, ocean views and more! I don't know about you, but this is definitely a mexico vacation that sounds good this time of year. Check out their site if you'd like more information about them.

Movies

Speaking of movies....Jenna could not believe that there are two very popular movies that I've never seen before. Pearl Harbor is one of them, and the second is the Titanic. I know I can't be the only one out there who's never seen these movies, but she was quite surprised. She told me that she thinks I"ll like them, so I'm going to watch at least one of them with her tonight I think. We own the Titanic, so that's the one we'll probably watch this weekend. Sometime we'll have to go ren Pearh Harbor....I'm sure I'll like it.

National Treasure Movie

I really enjoy watching movies. Recently Jen and I had the opportunity to watch the second National Treasure movie at her parents house. That is such a great movie! I would love to own it. It left us thinking that there will probably be a third one coming out at some point, but who knows. I just know if they do put out a third one I will definitely want to see it. I think Jen will too....she loved both the first and second one a lot as well!

Denver Magazine

It's always nice to learn more about the cities you are going to visit. Wouldn't you agree?? I know we do. Jen and I have been talking about planning a trip to Colorado, but wanted to learn more about all they have to offer. I happened to come across the monthly feature of the Denver Magazine and really liked all the information it presented. Whether you're looking for business, political or cultural news...or maybe just information on Denver Restaurants and entertainment...they have it all. If you'd like to learn more about the great city of Denver for yourself...check out their site today.

Winter Weather

I'm envious of my brother-in-law who is in LA right now. We are having bitter cold weather...almost freezing temps and he is in the warm state of California for business. He's been able to take a couple of days and enjoy the beach and all the city has to offer. I would love to visit a place like that this time of year. Maybe someday I'll be able to. I know Jen would really like that as well. We're just not ready for winter weather yet.

Kaelyns Pics

We recently had Kaelyn's one year pictures. It took a lot of phone calls to get the date set up to get the pictures taken with the photographer that we wanted, but finally got it scheduled. Overall we thought they turned out great. We even were able to get a couple of family ones done as well. It's always fun to compare the pics and see how much she has grown. Now we won't get pics again until she's two...so that will be a big difference I imagine.

Allegro Medical

These days you can find almost anything you need right online. It makes it really easy, especially those who aren't as capable of venturing out and doing a lot of shopping. I know we're kind of the type of people who would much rather shop online...with a little child it's just easier. Browsing the web I found Allegro Medical which makes it easy for people to get the medical equipment and health care supplies that they need. I thought this was great, and is actually a site that we'll probably use often. They offer products such as exercise and fitness equipment, nutritional dietary supplements, maternity/baby supplies and more! That really covers a great deal of things that we could definitely use. Whether you're looking for baby supplies or even a foley catheter this is definitely the place you should check out first. Their site is very user friendly.

Our new camera

Yesterday I got a call from Jen saying that we got our new camera in the mail. For those who don't know the story.....Jen had gotten a new Kodak digital camera for her birthday from my mom and I, but within months the LCD screen accidentally got broken. We were looking into getting the same camera again...but the battery life on it was not good at all. When we saw that we could get a Nikon Cool Pix for not much more money we decided to go that route. After having the chance to look over and try it...it seems like a camera we're really going to enjoy. We just have to learn about all the features and how to get the best pictures from it.

Tactical Pants

There are so many sites out there, sometimes it can be hard to find what you're looking for. That's why I like to pass on a good site when I find one. Recently I came across Operator tactical pants. If you've ever been looking for great deals on quality tactical pants, this is the site! They offer a variety for you to choose from at deals you won't want to pass up. Take a look and see for yourself. You won't be sorry you did.

Cold Outside

Wow, it sure is cod out there today! The snow is blowing and the ground is covered in white. I have to do a few things outside today and I'm really not looking forward to it. I prefer to be inside on cold days like this. Oh well...what can you do I guess. I am looking forward to getting the Christmas lights up at least. That will be fun to get it feeling more like Christmas around here. It doesn't seem like it should already be that time of year....but it is and I'm excited! :)

Capella University

Capella University is a fully accredited online university that leads with their offerings of masters and phd degrees. It's a great option for working adults, as you can still keep your career and go to school at the same time. They are a growing online school with many options available to those wanting to further their education. You can learn a great deal about their school by simply checking out capella.edu. They have a very user-friendly site that makes it easy to find the information you're looking for. They also release inside online education podcasts. Recently it was an interview with Beverly Enns, who is a faculty chair for reading/literacy there. It's always interesting to see what staff and students have to say about online colleges like this. Check it out for more information.

Great 1/2 Day Off

With all the crappy weather we've had the last couple of days, it was nice to get a day off during the week. My job is nice because if anyone in my family has a doctors appointment I can use my sick leave to go to it. So yesterday I was able to go to Kaelyn's 1 year doctors appointment. So I took a 1/2 day of sick pay to go. It's so nice to have a job that allows me to do things like that.

Black Friday

Recently I was just looking to see if some of my favorite stores had put out their Black Friday ads. Can you believe it's that time of year already?? Wow! I can't! Unfortunately I have not been able to find many black friday ads yet, but I did find a great Black Friday website which is out there to help people save money when shopping on this wonderful thanksgiving day sale time!! In case you didn't know....Black Friday is the day after Thanksgiving each year. This Black Friday site helps people purchase items online so you don't have to worry about standing in long lines or hassling the crowds. How you ask? Well they make the ads available to you so that you are able to see the deals before the day. You can even put in your e-mail and they will let you know when ads have been put up. I'm definitely interested in taking a look at the Best Buy deals and the target specials especially! ke to get for family members as well. Hopefully they will have some great deals! These are stores that I not only will find great deals for myself, but also for gifts that I would liWhat I like best about this site is how easy it is to use. It's VERY user friendly and easy to find the stores and ads you're looking for.

Trick or Treating

I was thinking back to the weekend today as I was driving home from work...and what a wonderful time we had!! I especially had a fun time getting Kaelyn all dressed up in her Halloween costume and taking her trick or treating. I have always dreamed of being able to take my kids trick or treating, and I finally got the chance. We had such a good time. It has me looking forward to many years to come and more children to take out along with Kaelyn!

Andy Barkate

With the economic hardships our country is facing, it's nice to know that there are still people out there, like Anthony Barkate who are helping. He is a financial executive and has many years of experience in the financial services industry. He is the owner and president of Califronia Retirement Plans LLC and holds many financial and retirement planning workshops for corporations and government entities like NASA, Shell Oil, Pacific Bell and many more. I think it's great that he's out there, as a speaker and author helping people plan through this difficult time. And what's great to know is how experienced and knowledgeable he is about this subject.

Officially ONE!

Well, my little girl is officially one! It hardly seems like it's possible that a year has gone by already. But, this weekend we celebrated her first birthday. We had such a wonderful time! I think she enjoyed all the family around and being able to open gifts and have new toys to play with. :) Her birthday party was a "princess" theme and went very well. It's kind of sad that it's over, but I guess it marks the beginning of another year to cherish.
