Just as fast as the holidays snuck up on me, they vanished without a trace until next year when I hope to be a little more prepared! A little time off always goes by way to fast though, doesn’t it? While I wasn’t in the normal holiday spirit, certainly the best part about this time of year is getting together with family and friends that we haven’t seen in awhile. That’s really what it’s all about. Yea, we didn’t have too many decorations, or a lavish meal, but we did get to spend time together and that’s what counts. I even got some wine tasting in. wooo!

Lupo Restaurant
It is definitely the holiday season, and while I’m not too entirely prepared, Chris and I did finally get some Christmas decorations up the other night. Better late than never I guess, right? And what ever made me think that I would have some substantial time to work on my thesis over the holidays, I was sorely mistaken! There’s lots of shopping, prepping, and setting up get-togethers with good friends and family in town. I certainly can’t turn down a great meal with family! Last night we had dinner at a restaurant called Lupo in the Mandalay Bay. It was delicious and one of those nicer meals that make you smile. (more…)

While we’re scrambling to get every last task accomplished, all the gifts wrapped, the house cleaned, cookies baked for the cookie exchange, and still find the energy to make it to the gym or train, the last thing on our minds is our own sanity and health!

Carlitos Burritos Birthday
Chris celebrated his 26th birthday this Friday! Most Fridays we head to a favorite little restaurant called Carlito’s Burritos that has some great New Mexican cuisine and is fairly cheap. I also talked about this great place in my weekend of friends post. Even though I had to get there a bit early to find a table, it’s a great place to hang out, have some killer, spicy food, and celebrate a birthday of the one you love with friends! (more…)
