Ugh!

I just composed a long post with lots of pics and it didn't work!! Anyway, here are some pictures of my family. Also, here's the Umbilical Cord hat from the Stitch n' Bitch book that I made yesterday. The yarn is weird - looks like camo when you knit it up.

Well we're flying home today - next time I post I'll be at my house!

Almost time to get back to reality.

We've had a great vacation and today's the last day. Tomorrow we'll be driving down to Albany to get on our flight home. I'm actually not dreading going home, because we've been keeping up with our laundry at my sister's house, so I won't be wrapped up in that when we get home. However, I do have a quiz due tomorrow and have no idea what it's even about!! AHHH!! I hope I'm able to figure it out - it's math, my very worst subject.

Today is the Winter Carnival Parade up here, I plan on taking pictures of it and posting them up later. There's also an ice palace that they make every year out of HUGE blocks of ice. Hopefully we'll get over there today and take some pics of that also.

My birthday was good and relaxing. I think as you get older, birthdays just aren't as fun. I remember being a kid and getting VERY excited about my birthday every year. I used to love planning the birthday parties, etc. The truth is, at this point in my life, I don't have many peers that I hang out with. I'm friends with a few people at work and my 2 best friends have moved far away in the past year. Sadly, I don't keep in touch with them as much as I should. I miss them lots.

I'm working on adding some songs to our iTunes library so I can load up my iPod before hanging out on planes and at the airport tomorrow.

Anyway - hopefully I'll be back later to post some pictures!

Knitting, vacation, etc..

Well it's been over a month since I posted - wow! Right now Tom and I are on vacation in the Adirondack mountains of NY. We're having a great time relaxing, reading, spending time with the family, etc. This weekend is "Winter Carnival" up here, and it's sure to be an interesting time. My brothers are coming up from southern NY for the weekend. It tends to get a little wild when I'm with my bros - there's usually alcohol involved and some silliness. I can't wait! I've spent the past couple of days knitting a hat for my co-worker's baby shower, and I'm going to post it up here. I'm also posting a picture of Tom and me at the airport in Greensboro, NC on our way up here. The little girl in the picture is my niece, and the hat is on her doll. It's so soft! Made with Rowan yarn - one of the cashmere blends that my older sister had in her stash. Now I'm working on an iPod case for my dad.

The little guy is my nephew/God-son, Sam, who just started free-standing! He's such a cutie!

Tomorrow is my 26th birthday and my sister is taking DH and I out to dinner tonight. I can't believe I'll be 26!!! It seems like I just turned 21.

On the TTC front, we've decided to hold off for awhile. This May, we'll both be in school and we want to focus on that for awhile. I'm not sure when we'll try again. I'm going to the RE next month at some point to have some blood testing done.

Hope everyone is well. Hope these pics work!
