What were you for Halloween?

We were the worlds most senior Flight Attendants, been flying for over 83 years!! We were laughing so hard under our masks while walking through the St. Louis Airport. Everyone was waving and laughing with us. Secretly, I bet they were all hoping we were NOT going to their gate...haha. We got a few pics while on the airplane, I will upload them as soon as I get them.

Happy Halloween!!

Miya's first Halloween in USA !!

Check out Miya's Halloween Costume, she is sooooo cute!!

Happy Anniversary to Me....

Happy Birthday Connor !!

On this day, October 23rd, 2008, My Baby Brother, who is no longer a Baby is 10 years old today. I thought it would be fun to sneak back into the past and see how much he has grown up. In the Fourth Grade now, better at Guitar Hero than me, I want to wish him a very Happy Birthday. And although I can't be there to celebrate with you Connor, please know that I will be thinking about you all day. Hope you have a Wonderful Birthday and all of your Birthday wishes come true. Hugs and Kisses, your Big Brother Ryanie.

Blog-worthy !!

My Mom sent me some pics today from her front porch. I thought they were so beautiful I would share a couple with you. Everyone loves a good Fall Photo!! Looks great Mom.....notice her new deck :-)

RIP

Mr. Blackwell, the acerbic designer whose annual worst-dressed list skewered the fashion felonies of celebrities from Zsa Zsa Gabor to Britney Spears, has died. He was 86. Here are some of his famous comments: Madonna: "The Bare-Bottomed Bore of Babylon.", Barbra Streisand: "She looks like a masculine Bride of Frankenstein.", Christina Aguilera: "A dazzling singer who puts good taste through the wardrobe wringer.", Meryl Streep: "She looks like a gypsy abandoned by a caravan.", Sharon Stone: "An over-the-hill Cruella DeVille.", Lindsay Lohan: "From adorable to deplorable.", Ann Margret: "A Hells Angel escapee who invaded the Ziegfeld Follies on a rainy night.", Camilla Parker-Bowles: "The Duchess of Dowdy.", Spears: "Her bra-topped collection of Madonna rejects are pure fashion overkill."

Rays beat Bosox in Game 7, advance to World Series

Down to their last chance, the Tampa Bay Rays left no doubt they were World Series-worthy, after all. Its one sad Redsox Nation!

Me and My Brother....

During an afternoon Photoshoot, this pic made both of our approvals, enjoy, Happy Halloween!!

Cut and Paste....

I hope Sara doesn't mind, but I love posting pics of Miya on my blog. All of my work buddies ask about her all the time, so I like to include a new picture whenever Sara posts one. Miya has been home for 3 months already, I think she looks like she loves her new life. Miss u guys!!

Happy Birthday Cynthia!!

Today is my Mother-in-Law's Birthday. Cynthia, I hope you had a wonderful day and all of your birthday wishes came true. I can't wait till you come out to Boston and visit us again. Lots of love on this special day. Again, HAPPY BIRTHDAY from the bottom of my heart.

Don't Stop Believing!!

The Red Sox are at it again. Down seven runs in the seventh inning, Boston came back to win Game 5 of the ALCS 8-7 on Thursday night. David Ortiz's homer in the seventh got things started, but J.D. Drew was the hero with a HR and game-winning single.

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Today is my Dad's Birthday. I am lucky enough to be able to head out to Seattle and celebrate it with him. Now he is going to kill me for posting the video down below but we will all get a "kick" out of it. Happy Birthday Dad, see ya in a few hours :-)

Everyone Loves a Parade.....

Everyone loves a parade and this is no Macy's Parade but every year on Columbus Day Weekend, this parade strolls right down the street right in front of my house. Talk about a front row seat!! Happy Columbus Day America.

16 Months Already....wow!!

Sara just updated a new picture of Miya Mei. She is 16 months old today and looking as cute as ever. Miss you guys!!!

Week 1 down...how many more to go?

Well I have been committed to my new weight loss program for a week now. I had my first weigh-in on Thursday night. So how did I do my first week........drum roll please.....4 lbs.

I already see a small difference in my face when I look in the mirror. Still a long way to go, but not too shabby.....man I want some ice cream right now!! (just kidding)

162,161,166.....

I just went bowling last night, everyone know how much I love to bowl. Anyway, I haven't bowled since the last time I was in Seattle visiting family in September. So what's the big deal right? I told my Dad and Step mom that I still bowled pretty good and be prepared to be in awe. (little more dramatic here than it really was said). Anyway, I think I bowled the worse I had ever had my entire life, I didn't even get a strike!! Well I am happy to report and I only post this hoping my Dad and Step mom see this and can redeem myself, that I bowled a 162, 161, and 166 last night. That's it I am going on PBA tour......and BTW that's not me up there

1 down, 2 more to go....

Have you heard? These Rays are no flukes. Tampa Bay is through to Round 2. In Boston, the Red Sox made noise of their own, stunning the Angels and setting up an all-East Division ALCS.

Fully Commited Now....

Just got back from my first WW meeting. I had to face the music and admit I was ready to commit again. So I stepped on the scale, with one eye closed and my pockets completely empty and got my new starting weight.....(you didn't think I was gonna give you that number did you)
We start with a goal of 10 percent, I get to eat 35 points each day. Which seems like a lot, but when you are counting points they go pretty fast. I will keep you up to date with my progress but for this being DAY 2, I haven't blown it yet.

Will you be watching?

Will you be watching the VP debate tonight? They say more than 50 million people will be tuned in with all eyes on Palin.
*updated* Some 70 Million people tuned in to watch how Sara did. How do you think she did?
