Home is where your heart is....





I don't have a bike right now. In fact I haven't ridden since super week in July.... I sold my bike to pay off the credit card I originally used to purchase my first rocky mountain. It had just gotten to the point that I wasn't able to make my payments on it and it was sent to collections and gaining interest super fast. So it came to the point where I decided that my obsession and love for riding wasn't more important than me always putting myself in a bad financial situation, but I wont lie... Now that it is mid January, I miss it, and I mean I miss it a LOT!

But regardless Alister and I still find a way to do what makes us happy and nothing brings true happiness like being with loved family and friends! For thanks giving we were in Utah visiting my interesting family!

And for Christmas and New Years we were in Connecticut! It marked our first of many lovely Christmases together! I got this cute necklace

While on our mini holiday vaca back east we had a day in New York. The highlights definitely starting with Carlos Bakery! You know! CAKE BOSS??? TLC??? Yeah. My fave! And boy oh boy oh BOY! Was it just as good as I had hoped!

We got LUCKY. Normally its a three hour wait just to get into the place, but for us none. It was slow and the place was all ours due the huge storm keeping all the other so called fans inside! We didn't see buddy, but we saw Joey and Marlo! Not to sound like I was fame struck but Joey made eye contact with me more than once!!! I couldn't bring myself to ask for a pic though! The canolis were as delicious as Buddy makes them sound and same with all the other goods we got!


But upon our return its been go time! Alister and I quit our awful corporate jobs and have been working on starting a cleaning business while I also started a new position at the Durango Ski Resort. There I work at the deli! Its a lot different than McDonalds! The clients are a heck of a lot nicer and I make tips on top of the already few dollar higher hourly wage than McD's!! Not to forget the free ski pass to a very beautiful ski resort!
