Work has been going well, its work- sometimes it has bad days, but also good! Like every job right??? I LOVE my team and I have made some amazing friendships! I started teaching a Zumba group in August and it is still going! This year, at our holiday party, my group did a performance for the whole office dancing to Joy To The World by Mariah Carey! The group did a great job! I love that they love it!!! I have a video and wish I was able to post it, but due to HIPPA, I can't. Lets just say it was adorable and they did a great Job!
While at the christmas party, aside from dancing with my guys, I photographed special moments of the whole day!!

I have made EVERYONE's christmas gift this year! Peppermint Sugar Scrub- thanks to the Idea Room! I was able to get the idea and print out cute tags! It was a HUGE hit- I made it for my coworkers and I made it for the family. Some people even got ornaments I made with professional pictures I took of them this past year. I also got a cute Idea on Pinterest involving socks and nail polish- I just printed out a cute tag!
I love home made thoughtful things!!!
Every Christmas as I was growing up, my dad decorated the house in lights while my mom went all out with the decoration inside the house and on the lawn. This year, we are living in an apartment but its part of a house, we I was able to have fun decorating and getting into the holiday spirit. Man, I missed that. I felt like a kid again. I know PJ and I dont have kids to really share this with, but I wanted it to be something for us to enjoy and I think I did a good job. I have posted a ton of pics to my Facebook page but there are also a few below so you can see the tour of the apartment with the cute decorations.
We had close friends over on the Saturday before christmas and I was happy they were able to see all my hard work! :-) Note: Scattergories is a FUN game!
This Christmas we had a change of plans. We were going to go to NJ to visit the NJ family again, but things happened with work and we were not able to follow through with that plan. We were sad, but we were happy we got to go there for Thanksgiving. Christmas was spent with our family here in MA....A 45minute drive vs. a 6.5 hour drive...although- Randomly we were greeted with the present, yes present, of MY SISTER! My sister decided on Christmas Eve that she was going to battle that 6.5 hour drive to spend Christmas with the family up here! It was such a nice surprise and I was happy she was able to do that/ wanted to do that. Poor thing drove all the way here in a snow storm in a little car with lets say, NO 4 wheel drive...and a NJ license plate... ya know what I mean?? :)
Well, she made it here safely arriving at 2:30am on Christmas Day- She had a glass of wine, or bottle, when she got here, we went to bed and spent Christmas Day together with the family. Next time, I hope she brings my dad...he wasn't able to come this time.
Christmas so was nice celebrating and seeing everyone!!! I missed our NJ family but I was able to FaceTime with them (thank goodness for apple products) and I spoke to them all day through texting. We actually dont get to see our MA family as often as we'd like so seeing them all together for Christmas was a treat! I got to play around with my camera and again, captured some beautiful shots of the family spending time together. PJ got me a gift certificate to take workshops which I am so excited about, and an great book that will help me learn my camera more too! Gotta get that book started! 50 Shades can wait! :)

So once we got home from visiting the family, I felt my voice starting to leave me. Well, I thought it was from talking too much and making my voice heard over my sister, as she loves to talk and elevate her voice (love her)..but I was getting louder...till I got nothing....I went to bed Christmas Night and woke up in the middle of the night not able to breathe. I didn't know what was going on, but i knew I couldn't breathe and I was freaking out. I was crying. PJ was able to get me to calm down. I didn't think I needed the hospital Under his direction, I took a Benadryl and my inhaler and attempted to calm down. I was hyperventilating for about 3 hours before finally falling asleep again with the gentle hand of PJ's on my back.
Yes, my sister is a doctor, I am surprised she didn't hear me in the other room, but there was not much more for her to do for me at 3am. So I didn't wake her.
PJ took me to the doctor the next morning to find out that they think I had a severe asthma attack in the middle of the night. The doctor asked about allergies and if there was something that could have peaked it- I mentioned there was a cat at the house christmas night but I didn't touch the cat and I didn't think to take allergy medicine before going over. The doctor thinks that the cat peaked my attack and it just got so bad at night and I did the right thing taking Benadryl and my inhaler (My husband is a genius!) Well, today I have no voice and I keep coughing. I am able to breathe thank goodness! but its hard for me to talk to people right now.. I dont feel super sick, just tired and my chest hurts.
Thanks Santa for this awesomeness.
On top of this, the month of December I was having some issues with my eyes. They were very bloodshot. I have not been able to wear my glasses for about 2 weeks. I went to the eye doctor about this and it turned out I had a bacterial infection in both eyes. She stated, " it looks like someone went into your eyes with sand paper and rubbed it all over." So, as of today, the infection is gone but my eyes are very dry and I feel as though my prescription has changed. i gotta go back there in 2 weeks for a follow up.

I think the doctor office is my new home. I have been there yesterday, today and I will be there Jan 10 and 11- The 11th is my annual physical, but still!
Hoping for a Healthy 2013!!! I got too many amazing things happening in 2013!
