Oops, it's been a month!


Wow, I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. It's amazing how time flies isn't it?

We were in Italy in the beginning of the month, just me and ZM for 9 whole days. We flew to Milan and spent 2 days there, and basicaly shopped.
Then we went to Florence by train (the train ride was beautiful, it even snowed, there are no words to describe it) and stayed there for 3 days. We rented a car and went to the nearby village of Lucca and to Pisa (the one with the tower).
Then we took another train to Venice and stayed there for 3 more days.
We had a great time, we really needed to spend some time just the two of us, which hadn't happened since our trip to Barcelona almost a year and a half ago. We rested alot, we got to see some of the most beautiful sights we have ever seen and we came back as good as new.

Of course, things were hectic when I got back to work. My boss was going nuts and you could've sworn I had been away for a whole month if you heard him talking! It's been so bad I've been back for almost 2 weeks now and I haven't had time to download the pictures we took. But will try to do it this weekend and post them.

Last weekend we had my SIL's engagement party and my MIL's birthday party and a friend of mines 30th birthday party. That combined with the load of work I have come back to explains my absence from this blog (or so I hope). Oh, and the kids forced me to put up our Christmas tree on Sunday! I think I need a vacation!
