better late than never

how can five days go by so fast!!!
once again we had our giant christmas eve polish fest!!! i love tradition, and i love when my family is all in one place...even if some ( one the most important members) can't make it, i understand. We went to a church that was not my gram's and it was not at all the same...but we tried...this year there was not a christmas hooker on Michigan ave., no coffee from telway and no "church of the divine midgets," but tony and i got to be home and still have our family dysfunction after church!!! that is the best part, when people get together and holler "SAUZA!!!" at 3am!!! not to mention the fighting cock....but alas we were together!!!
i also got my ring ( although not techincally) from tony!! and i LOVE IT!!! but i don't want to give it back to wait for the 'real' proposal!!! at least i got to wear it through the holidays and show my family and friends!!!!
the day after christmas we ( me and all my fantastic beautiful bridesmaids) went to get fitted for dresses...holy cow that is a bad day to do something like that...but we all had fun! and then we headed over to sarah's to celebrate the holidays!

man i have been so lazy!!!! this is three weeks old! anyway we are back in tucson and FINALLY getting out on the town! tony and have been working our asses off nonstop-no days off from the time we got back until just a few days ago...
so since we had to work on new year's eve and day we decided along with our new midwestern friend Corrine, that we were going to celebrate on Jan 3...
so we got as decked out as you can in the southwest on a tuesday ( which means jean and not sandles) and went to a few bars...picuterse to follow-since we also got a new camera (HOORAY) i liked the old one, but this one rules!

anyway we planned on seeing the grand canyon today and tomorrow, but then we both got sick _BOOOOOOOO!!!! so we stayed in all day yesterday and i got my fill of classic movies, while tony played his game until his eyes crossed!
feelin a little better today ( partly because my mom and dad are coming to visit soon!!!! YAY, and partly because i think i may have found the wedding dress of my dreams: not to mention that i got more sleep than i have in years) we are going to go to the desert museum today!
so i PROMISE that i will write more soon, and not just once a month!
