Marty brought home some Hob Nobs yesterday. I was unaware that he had them and we were chatting I noticed out of the corner of my eye the familiar packaging and asked him very suspiciously, "What are those, where did you get them?"

I was elated when I discovered they really were Hob Nobs! Someone from Marty's work had given them to him and I was ready to pounce! Suzy and I have been watching our treat intake, but I gave in today! (Suzy this is my confession).

These Great Britain morsels are cookies with chocolate on top. I gained five pounds in England, mostly do to these and Digestives. It brought me back to such a fun time living in London and renewed my desire to take Marty there. Their food isn't all that great, but their treats are!
Yummy Chocolate!

Anyone else loves these like I do?

Fall Photos











I just found these photos from a few months ago that I never posted. It was so fun because Graham and I were able to be in a little photo shoot for one of my harp student's uncle, a photographer. In exchange for us doing it, he gave us all the photos.

I thought they turned out really cute, so for Christmas I made a little iphoto book for one of Marty's gifts. He loved it! Which made me so happy, because my main-squeeze is tough when it comes to gifts.

Isn't Graham a cutie? It was only 22 degrees outside and he was such a trooper!

Mexico 2010




























































Marty and I returned from 6 days in beautiful Puerto Vallarta! Marty surprised me with this trip for Christmas, and I was really was so surprised! It was also Marty's 34th, yes people 34th birthday, while we were there. We had such a fun time celebrating and mostly relaxing. We ate, read, swam, ate, read swam. It was a perfect trip (another than the one day of rain... but we took a glorious nap!) We went fishing one morning with Alonzo (the fisherman), I got two massages, Marty got his first massage ever and got his bum rubbed by a senorita on his birthday, and I ate salsa until my heart and stomach were content!

Thanks Marty for such a fun week!

Also a special thanks to my Mom and Dad for watching the little man while we were gone!

Presenting... my new black walls!











I was talking to my mother-in-law a few weeks ago about the new paint color for the front rooms. I said Dark... she said Black. I've learned to always trust her (especially when picking paint) and I'm so happy I did. I think it turned out great! A lot of people we worried it would look like a dark cave or something, but there is so much light and the floors and trim help by being white. My friend Meg sent me an article entitled, Black is the new... ummm, black!

I think they are right! I love it!

Photos for People you want to see the outside of my house!



Happy New Year!
