Gosh, time flies when you have a life (something I haven't been used to)!  Life has definitely picked up in the last 6 months.  As y'all know, after Bennett came home in March we've been having a lovely time: a week in upstate NY, three weeks in Europe, cruise to Grand Cayman and Mexico, Foof & Wine Fest @ EPCOT, Marine Corps Ball....and the list goes on.  Also, as some of you may not have known, I started CULINARY SCHOOL in October!!!  It's fabulous nd I loooove it!  I've found my calling.   I still work at the wine bar, but quit my rec center job in August.  I now also work at a well-known and established restaurant on 4th St. (which will remain nameless, my stalker friends...unless you've seen my myspace page, lol)

Anyway, life is definitely very fast-paced right now and I'm loving every minute of it.  My other feats as of recently include doing the entire Thanksgiving dinner for my family (and rockin' it) and I'm planning my Christmas feast and possible cocktail party.  I've also been getting offers for work from a few local caterers (I'm trying to figure out wheat culinary direction to take professionally) so I'm gonna see how that goes.

 If I don't write before the rest of the upcoming holidays, I wish you all the health, wealth, happiness, good friends and good times!  That's all for now!
