Since Andrew started traveling and we don't get to be together as often as we'd like obviously, Christmas break was the best thing ever! Getting to be with Andrew for 2 whole weeks was the best thing I could ask for. Andrew's flight from Florida got in around 11:00 PM in SLC, so we thought it made the most sense for me and Bry to just pick him up and then drive through the night to Colorado. Unfortunately, we drove through a blizzard most of the trip which was horrible! But we made it to Colorado safely and were happy to be with my family for a week! We had such a great time (besides the fact I was sick the whole first week). And of course, everyone loved Bryant :)
finally decided to lay & sleep on his pillow in the car instead of on the middle console!
soaking in as many snuggles as I could!
Bry looooooves babies!
Teig tried to put the Santa hat on Bryant but I think it was a little small!
No holiday break without a goatee or fu manchu at our house!
My parent's beautiful tree!
Such a merry Christmas!
Bry lovin his new toys.
Mom opening up her new iPad Air!
Holding our Coach purses I bought them... The ones from the Price is Right were getting too old!!
obsessed with this cutie!
The only downside to the week was that I was so sick! It started with food poisoning, then after getting over that I had a nasty cough and cold, which then turned in to a DOUBLE ear infection. I cringe just thinking about it. I had never had an ear infection before and then to have two was just miserable. Neither of them would pop so it was so annoying hearing myself echo when I talked. I woke up one morning at like 4:00 feeling like someone was taking a drill to my ear. Finally that morning I went to the doctor and sure enough he said I had some angry ears. Since I kept trying to pop my ears on my own by blowing so hard, I ruptured one and it had started bleeding. Needless to say, it wasn't fun AT ALL. He put me on antibiotics thankfully because we were going to be flying to Florida 3 days later!
in pain at the doctor's office :(
We also tried to test our luck at Bingo with my little brother, but no such luck.
Then we were off to Florida! Andrew has been traveling to Florida every week for his client there, so the company paid for me to join him! We had a rough morning getting to the airport. We left Colorado Springs at 4:20 A.M. for a 6:25 flight in Denver. Unfortunately it snowed the night before, and we got stuck behind 3 plow trucks going so slow. We got to the airport at 6:00 and had to park in the parking garage to save time. Andrew tried to go check his bag while I ran through security. They wouldn't let him check his bag for that flight, but put him on a 7:00 flight through New York instead, so we didn't get to be on the same flight. I barely made it to the plane after my name was paged over the intercom but was surprised with a first class upgrade when I got there!!! I didn't think I was going to get it since Andrew wasn't on my flight but they gave me his seat :)
Now I know what I've been missing all these years! Going back to economy seating on the way home really sucked.
We had a great time celebrating the New Year at the beach in Fort Lauderdale! The 75 degree weather sure beat the cold weather I have been facing in Utah & Colorado!
love my man!
Andrew didn't have to work New Year's Day, so we got some brunch at the hotel and then headed across the street to the beach.
startin off the new year the right way!
We had so much fun playing in the ocean and trying to ride the waves! I couldn't believe how warm the water was. Felt so good. I'd love to be back there right about now…
my babe right up next to me keeping me company on the drive home!
It was such a great vacation and I'm sad it had to end. Going back to work was rough for me this week. I couldn't go to bed at a normal time after staying up so late over break which made waking up so difficult….hope next week is better for me!
