escape from the cold

Jon & I are taking our first vacation together since Nov 2006 at the moment.  I’d say we’re enjoying ourselves, except we didn’t quite leave all the cold behind and I ended up having the worst migraine of my life starting on Monday and still with a remnant of one today…

We’re visiting my parents in Ocala, Florida and had plans to drive up to Pensacola (plans derailed by my stupid migraine).  So far, we’ve taken over their entertainment room by reconfiguring their projector and screen to accomodate the Wii. It’s been quite amusing watching Jon and my mother box and golf and play tennis. I decided to include some pics to show you just how serious they are, if only I could include audio as well. The laughter and yelling add to the experience.

Jon decided that his weapon was not his great swing or his uppercut, but making my mother laugh harder.  that’s all it really took for her to lose.  though in her defense, she kicked his butt a few times.

Where have we been???

Wow, it’s been 4 months since I’ve posted anything! Surely we’ve been up to something.  Anything worth talking about here anyway. I guess I’ve been too busy to write and post pictures too.  A lot has transpired, like a new blog design.  I’m still working out the kinks, but I think I’m getting used to it. What do you think?

July – ooh, I went to Hawaii with my parents while Jon stayed home to work.  poor guy! I seem to have all the fun. I will post some pics from Hawaii one of these days… I must show off pics of my adorable, but large kawaii cousin Ezra (and some pics of other cutey cousins).  See Hawaii pics here.

August – I went canoeing with friends from church.  For those of you who know me, you know outdoorsy activities and I generally do not get along.  But I played well with others, and I didn’t fall in. though Jon did! I will get pics posted on this too… Oooh, business news, Blue Star was named Small Business of the Month for the Goshen Chamber.  That’s quite an accomplishment for us.

September – We went to Cedar Point with some friends.  I LOVE Cedar Point.  I do have pics from this event.  Click to see the gallery.  My new favorite ride is definitely the Maverick.  It was the last ride we got on at 10 pm and riding it in the dark made it so much more fun!  So sad Jon couldn’t enjoy it with me, as he doesn’t do twisty upside turns…  Family news: At the end of the month, Berkeley got 2 of his front teeth removed. It’s pretty sad when your old dog needs dental work.

As October has just ended, I will post about it separately.  For now, I will close this out.
