Holidays - Is it over yet?

Central Park at Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Wishing everyone a wonderful Holiday season! I put up a nice picture that could have been on our Christmas card this year if my hubby wasn't such a crazy person for the Phillies. Just kidding, I found it really nice that he actually got into Christmas card sending this year. AND he even amazed me by his gift wrapping abilities and by buying me gifts I actually wanted!! He actually listened to me when I would talk to him, I think I have found my Christmas miracle. Now if we could just get the cat to stop vomiting for no apparent reason. I guess that was his special Christmas present to us, well in that case we are converting. I can do with out that present ever year. Just kidding, these are jokes, family and friends do not call in worry, JOKES. Jokes are needed during the holiday season and are VERY under used. Say things like "I am pregnant" while guzzling Bourbon, this is a joke that will be remembered long after the holiday lights are put away. Even "It's a Wonderful Life" has hilarity weaved through out George Bailey's story.

- Note to all my girlfriends, the Phillies won the World Series this year that is why our Christmas card was of us at a game. It was not because of my overwhelming adorableness in a hat. The World Series is like the Oscars of baseball, a big deal.

St. Patrick's in NYC

Yay for Baby Jesus!

Our House - WELL our APARTMENT

Due to popular demand, we are finally posting pictures of our new place.

Our Halloween pumpkins: Bryan did the Pirate ship, I did the spider and we made a cat one, for well, the cat!

Eat Your Heart Out Martha

Yes, I craft. I make stuff, I decorate crap, I try and entertain myself by all the possible things you can make out of a potato and toothpicks. Everyone does it, so no laughing or snickering at me. Whether it is cooking an insanely great meal, using your work talents to make a myspace page masterpiece, or whittling a hoopa from one Beachwood tree…it all falls under the heading of crafting (just face it).

Since the MOVE (all caps to show the severity of the situation) I have had plenty of time to craft, since I moved away from all my friends and family. But we can have tears on another day, today is about showing up Martha, or at least taking her ideas and parading them around as my own. Either way, here are some pictures of Halloween crafts I made/put together. Some suck and some are great. Notice the Penn State and Maryland pumpkins, we like to represent everyone in the Kendro household... well except for those Wisconsin fans (you all know who you are).

This one is Bonnies, too cute, notice the spiders.

My Home Office

So now that I am working from home my office constantly looks like something exploded!! It is a free for all, paper everywhere, dog and cats living together. Think Ghostbusters and the Stay Puff marshmallow man, that about sums it up. However working from home has allowed me to tailor my daytime TV watching schedule to include all the favs like Martha, Rachel, Ellen, Gilmore Girls, What Not to Wear, ohhhh you know you are jealous of the snazzy 60-year old lady life. I typically sprinkle in talking to cat in between nail biting episodes of 'whose the Dad' on Maury or 'let's talk about me' on Tyra. All that is left is finding a soap opera and buying soap opera digest at the grocery store.

At least I don't have to wear heels anymore :)

One Year Down

We had our First Anniversary! We celebrated by a quick trip to Gettysburg on our way to Harrisburg for a wedding (a wonderful weekend to get married in our opinion). This is a shot after a great dinner at the Farnsworth House with us eating the top of our cake with a wonderful cake candle given to me at my shower over a year ago! The couple we were sitting next to were celebrating their 47th wedding Anniversary.

The beautiful couple, Amanda and Bryan. The wedding was so much fun and the bride was insanely beautiful! It was one of the best weddings we have ever been to and one of the happiest!!
Us at the rehearsal dinner. In pains me to say this, being from Maryland, but the crab cakes at the Firehouse in Pennsylvania were some of the best I have ever had.
