Oh, dear blog, I can't abandon you another day!

We made it back to Jersey safe and sound last night. I cried at the airport...and on the plane. The birth of my nephew, Nathaniel, has truly recharged my crying spells that used to accompany Texas goodbyes so long ago. I love that little chunker.
Nathaniel is wearing: a shirt I bought him @ H&M
I got him a Ramones one, too :)
Today (Friday) was supposed to be my day of blogging and doing a San Antonio highlights post and catching up on my daily reads, but I totally forgot that my good friend Marla and her boyfriend were flying into town to spend the next five days with us! (Marla and I met when we were stationed in Las Vegas together, but we've kept in touch very well since going our separate ways. Plus she's a fellow Texican [Mexican-Texan, lol] so we've always been bonded in that sense.)
Anywho, it's almost 10:30 p.m. and we're all turning in for the night that way we can wake up early and drive into New York City to spend New Years Eve watching the ball drop - something I've always wanted to do! NYC is only 20 minutes from our apartment, but we're anticipating a cluster-fudge of traffic going in; I don't even want to think of what we're going to deal with coming home at night, but I'm gonna say a prayer. :)
I can't wait to get back to my daily blogging schedule and update y'all with some of my favorite moments from our Texas trip! Like the one where I revisited my first elementary in a small Texas town. I had such a great time that day! And oh yes, there will be outfits.
Wishing you all a happy new year...be safe out there!

Bear hugs,
Roni

  5. Nathaniel is a little cutie! Your new years plans sound amazing, I hope that you enjoyed them :)! I'm so sorry I've not been about for a while, I had tonsilitis, and then with the christmas celebrations I've not really had time, I'm glad to be back (and posting soon!) xo

  7. Aww the little "chunker" is sooooo adorable! I always miss home too, but as I get older, I'm always happy to be back in my own space. Vegas was a blast! So quick story: I get on the shuttle to the airport in Vegas and some random guys starts up a conversation by asking where I was from. I said "Texas" and he says "Oh really me too!" then he says " What part?" I say " San Antonio." He says " No way me too!" So by now I'm thinking he's pulling my chain then before I can say anything else he says "Yeah, I went to Judson!" I was like OMG me too!!! Small world!
