Happy Holidays

Happy New Years Eve everyone!

We spent the last week in Minnesota for Christmas. It was a VERY busy trip home, that resulted in both Andy and I getting really sick. Good news is he is better and I'm almost better too! Our first 3 days home consisted of attending 7 family Christmas gatherings...it sure was hectic but when you're with family it doesn't matter. It was so great to see everyone. And it was so great to have our first married Christmas together :) because last year Andy wasn't able to be home.

Like our festive outfits?!

The "Amanda&Andy Kurkowski" cookie made at the annual cookie decorating w/ my mom's family!

The rest of our trip home was spent seeing friends and snowboarding! It was a fun trip home but both of us are happy to be back in San Diego relaxing until Andy is done with leave next week. We have noooo idea what we are doing for our first married New Years yet either, so more info on that coming later!

Still no luck with jobs but next week I'm going to search until I find ANYTHING! Just trying to keep in mind I'll only be at the job for 6 months! Living in California is expensive and we are learning really fast that we need another income and we need to watch our spending :) but it still is nice to live in such a beautiful place!

2011 was a year of ups and downs, but I did gain a husband so I'm not complaining ;) Hoping you all have a fun and safe New Years Eve and wishing you all the best in 2012!
