Besides that I’ve been so crazy busy with work. I have a new niece, Hadley, born this past Sunday. Some close friends are getting married this weekend and we’ll have a house full of people. My husband is finally back from his 2 months off/on of crazy travel. It’s rained a lot. It’s freaking hot. I’ve been running around 15 miles/week (although this week I’m slacking).

It still is and I’m pretty sure I’m going to have the same holiday blues this year, too. I think you have the right idea, though, to focus on the fact that we have some amazing angels watching over us because we certainly do. Who knows, maybe our angels are friends. :)

Friday I made cupcakes and used THIS Fresh Strawberry frosting recipe. It may be the best thing since sliced bread, literally. I was in a hurry so I didn’t make the cakes from scratch - just used a french vanilla boxed version and added pureed strawberries.

Why, yes. My champagne DID make it to the top of Red Rock. :)
I love this because you can see the Vegas strip off in the background. 6 hours. Amazing views. Exceptionally sore everything. This time it was tougher getting down than up…
