Ok, so it's been almost 2 weeks now since we've been back from Europe (I still miss being on vacation). I'm such a slacker.

I can't even blame work for keeping me busy - work has been pretty light since I've been back. While I haven't had to put in any "extra" time on some deadlines at work, it's been taking me forever to go through all 1500 photos from our trip.

After culling through all my damn shots, I think I chose about 480 photos to keep online. And since my parents hate going through my hundreds and hundreds of photos in each album, I slimmed down the number of photos in half and created a "Best Of" album.

Hopefully I'll have my wifey's trip journal posted as well soon.

Enjoy!

We're still waiting and waiting and waiting!

Wait - they just said they fixed them, but we're still not going anywhere. I keep hearing the toilets flush over and over again.

And now the French guy next to me is hacking away like he's got the flu!

HE BETTER NOT GET ME SICK!!!

So after an interesting Christmas holiday we are now on our way to Europe.

Well, not really. We are sitting and waiting on the plane. First they needed to load a few more bags on to the plane, and now we are waiting to see if they can geet the restrooms working. Supposedly there and a few not working. So now it's a half an hour after our original flight departure time. Hopefully we get going soon!

The time is here! We finally made it through all our work and our busy calendar since Thanksgiving.

Every single weeekend has been filled with work parties and other social events.

So we were gonna leave my car at work, but we didn't think it would be good leaving it there for so long. So instead we got a hotel in tempe, and I parked the car at the airport this evening.

Good thing! I literally got the last spot in the the entire overflow east lot. I figured I'd rather figure out the parking situation tonight rather than tomorrow at 4:30 am.

Tomorrow head to NJ for 5 days and then to EUROPE FOR 8 DAYS!!!

We are really damn psyched!!!

As you can tell, we're pretty psyched about our trip in less than 2 weeks.

First to NJ for Christmas for 4 days and then Europe for 8 days!

Of course work has been crazy, and there's a ton of deadlines right before and after the holidays. This next week will be ridiculously busy!

But I just need to make it through the next week and half, and we're set for a great trip.

I haven't written about it at all (and I'm not sure why) but our trip to Europe is only 5 weeks away! At this moment we'll be waking up to our second day in Paris! We can't wait.

We'll only be in Europe for 8 days, but we'll be seeing three cities: 3 days in Paris, 3 days in Amsterdam (including New Years) , and 2 days in Brussels. We're even going to be able to see a friend from Jersey that I haven't seen in like 10 years!

I can't wait! I'm gonna have so many freakin photos!

I will be setting up a trip site very soon.
