my winter vacation

2 weeks down, 1 to go. i have had such a great time so far.

the first week in ohio was great. i got to see my brother after almost 3 years of not seeing him. and i got to see a bunch of family members that i havent seen in a really long time. we had a polish christmas with perogies, keilbasa, and lots of other good foods. my brother, dad and i made all the perogies! i was so happy to finally learn how to make them.

we also got to go to the transsiberian orchestra. it was amazing. we had great seats. 2nd row. we could see their faces. it was so so so so so so good.

i really enjoyed playing euchre with the family and catching up with family.

then this past week, i spent in florida. the weather was perfect. sunny and warm. t shirt and shorts weather. cant complain there. it was so great to see my mom again. and finally meet my brother's girlfriend. we spend christmas with some of my moms friends. it was nice. i got to meet my moms 2 new dogs. i was a little unsure of them at first, but now, ill be sad to leave them!

we went to see cirque du soleil. that was an amazing show. i couldnt believe how perfect they were. everything was perfect and i was a little tense because i sometimes couldnt believe they didnt fall! wow. we also had great seats. we ha the seats reserved for the family and friends of the cast. thanks to my moms boss' friend. so lucky.

it was just nice to be with family. to go to the store and read the labels on things. to run in sunny weather.

so now tomorrow morning, i am back to ohio for the last week. this week will be with friends. i am looking forward to seeing them.

i have lots more pictures, but for some reason, the internet was taking forever to upload them on my blog. so be patient!
