New York City

Last weekend was Pat's four-day so Pat, Belle, Cooper and I went to NYC to visit Sophie and do some Christmas shopping. Her lease is up the end of December so it was our last chance to get to see her place (in Chelsea) and visit her while she's in New York. We had a great time with her. She showed us all around and we ate at all her favorite restaurants (Pat and I tried Thai food for the very first time). NYC is like no other city. I fell absolutely in love with the city. If we ever get the chance to live there I will gladly take it. I'd love to live near Central Park, it's the better family area. There's always so much to do; and almost all the restaurants deliver at all hours. It's amazing!

My New Job

Today I started at my new job, Spa Cascada and I LOVE it! Everyone is so nice. The owner is also an esthetician there and is such a nice lady. During the interview I had mentioned how at Animare their rooms are both a facial/waxing room and also massage room so I could do a facial on a client then a massage, not having to move them into another room, and she loved that idea. She already ordered me all the facial machines I'll need in order to turn their massage room into a facial room as well. As soon as all the equipment comes in I'll start full time as an esthetician and, as soon as my massage license is transferred, massage therapist. I'm really excited about Spa Cascada; they use Image Skincare which is a line that I absolutely love; in fact, when I open my own spa, I'll use Image (& Eminence Organics) if I don't open an Aveda salon & spa.

Pat Made First Class!!!

Back in October Pat took the E6 Exam and we just found out today that he passed! He is now officially a first class. E6 and he has only been in for 4 1/2 years, I'm so proud of him. He has been working so hard and it's really showing.

Our New Address

Thanksgiving 2009

This Thanksgiving Sophie came and stayed with us for the week. I am still waiting on my licenses to be transferred so I haven't been working, therefore Koo and I got to spend alot of much needed time together. She was our very first visitor here in NY. We had a great time. We went and saw New Moon (of course...) , did alot of shopping and had many wonderful talks. We even did quite a bit of cooking. We home-made everything for Thanksgiving (aren't you proud Mom!). Right now it's looking like she's going to come and stay with us again for Christmas. Pat can't get off of work until mid-January so so far the plan is for all of us to fly to Denver and have a belated Christmas there with my parents and Rae.

We're All Moved In

Foyer

Our awesome kitchen, I love it- there's so much storage space

I am in love with our new washer & dryer. Pat keeps joking saying I've done more laundry in the past few weeks than I did in the past year...what can I say, I LOVE them!
