Hey all! The holidays were a blur and of course were fabulous. I flew out to Philly on Christmas and back to Chicago on New Years Day. Flying on the holidays was a great idea. I had so much fun in Philly with NP. We partied hard every night.

I am glad to be back home and concentrating on my health again. I've managed to gain some weight since Milan because I haven't been exercising or watching what I eat. I started back at the gym on Saturday. I'm going to try a step class tonight. I used to do step in college. It's been a while though :-)!!!

NP and I are really enjoying each other's company. He is so much fun, and I would fall totally head over heels with him if he lived anywhere near here. We talk or text every day. We talked for two hours on the phone Monday night. And we are working on planning the next visit. I think possibly sometime in February. That's a quick catch up for now!
