300

Not talking about the movie people, but turns out, this is my 300th blog post!!!
Can you imagine?! Hope everyone has a good in between time. Visitors keep coming in now for New Years Eve and my friends are up to crazy ski tours and snowboarding days!
Wish I was on a holiday right now and didn't have to work, but New Year's weekend will make up for it, lots of fun stuff coming up.
Any thoughts on resolutions for 2011 yet? Lots of thoughts on my end is all I can say, it all will be revealed in due time.

LA friends

My personal treat this Christmas season: I got to hang out with one of the funnest people on the planet, my friend Monica. Years ago she married my friend Paul and they moved to her hometown, LA. Me being gone for years and years myself, always thought that they must have been back for a visit, but turns out this was their first time back in Austria in almost six years!! Not bad, right.

We took a whole day out before Christmas and just chatted the entire time. So much to catch up on and dream of our futures, planning for 2011, etc. In between we ate, shopped and strolled around Vienna. I hope everyone has friends like that! You feel full of energy when you say good bye at the end of meeting up with them!

 such a bad picture but the only one of the two of us haha

Back in May I was already bragging about Monica's jewellery line and now I finally have two pieces (Navajo Friendship bracelet and Simple Gold Nugget Necklace) to wear. 

Check out her webpage and her Etsy shop. Pretty things, fair trade and cruelty free. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Christmas round up

Christmas was short and sweet this year.
Nice to hang with the extended family and catch up with friends.
Found out some very exciting things. 2011 will be the year of festivities it seems :)

Best moment: when my uber-musical family asks me if I want to play a kazoo or a shaker egg!!! Although I dislike those sing a longs, it was fun and in the end I got to play the triangle woop woop!
Don't think we've ever sang that much and after lots of laughs and my brother singing a very loud solo - he did go carolling after all haha - we ended up shouting out Feliz Navidad. Typical family moment and still makes me laugh out loud just thinking about it :)

look what my friends are up to

Love that we take the time to celebrate our Saviour God every year! His goodness and grace. May we think of Him, while we unwrap our presents and have fun.
