Aye, Aye Matey!!






So, I predicted that it would rain tonight because it ALWAYS rains on Halloween in New Hampshire and guess what? I was right!!! (But at LEAST it wasn't freezing rain) Christopher had a great time, however after an hour he said "I wish we could go home" LOL....

Sedona, Arizona


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ok, so now I want to move to Sedona! Oh my goodness was that place ever beautiful! First, let me say I was NOT expecting it. When we landed in Phoenix, I thought "nice, but would not want to live here". We stopped for dinner (I spotted a Sweet Tomatoes and Colin couldn't believe it!) After dinner, we drove over an hour and a half to Sedona. Well, it was pitch dark and I couldn't see a thing.

The next morning, Colin got up bright and early for his meeting. He walked out the door, turned around came back in and said "Come outside, it is so gorgeous out there". I'm thinking he is talking about the weather. So, I got up and walked out the door. I was blown away by the view from the terrace outside. I was shocked because on the way in the night before, you seriously could not even tell there were mountains right there. It is just soooo pitch black.

Christopher and I got up and the adventure began. I couldn't explain it, but I immediately felt some kind of energy there. I was trying to put my finger on it. It had a spiritual feel or something. Later, Colin would tell me he learned some theories that some people have about the energy at his conference. Apparently, it is something to do with the iron in the rocks attracting electricity and causing magnetic pulls or something like that. Alot of people believe that there are energy/magnetic vortexes scattered around the Sedona and that they have healing powers.

I know that I had alot more energy while I was out there and could never sleep beyond 7:30 am., when here at home I have no problem sleeping in..today I woke at 12 noon lol. But there, I woke up at 7:30 and was ready to get outside!

I am not a scientist or a doctor, but I know that it is just gorgeous out there and I definitely want to go back each year at the very least.

Canadian Thanksgiving 2009








Another trip has come and gone! I am getting so busy with my travels that I have been neglecting my blog. But anyway..

We had a great trip. Christopher is such a good trooper with traveling now. He is a pro!

I enjoyed the break from all of the oppresive Florida heat; we even had a bit of snow on Sunday. Our Thanksgiving Day dinner was very relaxing in a small town about 2 hours from Toronto. The food was all toooooo yummy! Time to hit the bike again!

I am looking forward to Halloween (and Taylor's birthday) when I head to New Hampshire again on the 30th.




I get to have another Thanksgiving when I go to New Hampshire for our "U.S. Thanksgiving" lol. And YAY, Britany will be there too! Wooooo-Hoooooo!





The girls will be coming down for Christmas this year and we will be celebrating it at Rob and Ann-Marie's house! I can't wait!

I will spend some of the holiday break with them here in Florida before Christopher and I join Colin in Toronto.

My computer is getting so slow and running out of disk space...it is really sucking the fun out of all of this!!
