SNOW DAY!!

So we woke up this morning at 6:40am to start getting ready for work, only to look outside and see SNOW!! And what do we do....grab the camera, put on some running gear, and take the dog out for a run. Of course the Triangle Area is all freakin' out with the snow, so we are staying home until the roads clear. No need to get in an accident because some Southern can't drive in the snow. Enjoy the photos! We had a nice 20 minute run and Sophie loved the weather...she HATES to be hot, so this was perfect for her.

Fitz has decided for his new year's resolution he wants to surf at least once a month, each month of 2007. We are glad he made this known during one of the most beautiful weekends in January...is was in the 70's, light winds, lots of sun, 55 degree water, and small clean waves. Here are some photos...Sophie did not like the water and hated it when Fitz went in so we had to stand guard on the beach until he was done for the day. Becky's dad, not to be out done by his son-in-law caught a few waves of his own. Then it was off to lunch at El's Drive In... for those who have experienced it, you know why! Surfs up!

We must get more camera savvy…we managed to not take any photos either at Christmas or New Years , but had a blast both places. Christmas was with the Fitzula’s in NY, there was tons of eating and eating, and eating. We did manage a trip into NYC for a quick shopping trip for Becky (it was her Christmas present) where she preceded to buy a Coach purse that had just come in that day. We finished the day with dinner at the 21Cluband seeing the Wedding Singer on Broadway. It was awesome, very 80’s. Any of you “children of the 80’s” need to see it. Then it was out to Morehead City for Christmas with the Hoover clan and some relaxing at the beach. We were able to spring Sophie from the kennel…she was so happy to see us, but she some how ended up with a deep rooted skin infection that caused her some real problems and us some $$$$!! We ended up at the emergency vet on 30Dec06 at 11:30pm with a dog who had a fever and was thought to be in real trouble..but not our Sophie-girl. She just needed some SERIOUS antibiotics and she was “good to go.” Then we were able to spend New Year with at Tara and Matt super special pad with Katie, Dugan, Melissa, Josh, Rachel, Dan, Jen and Neil. We partied like it was 1989 with Meatloaf blearing from MTV. Since ringing in the New Year, Fitz has been a super traveler from Boston, to NY, then Flagstaff, AZ and St. Antonio, TX. More exciting things in our future (hopefully) and pictures too!
