a new year!

Wow...so I know it's been a long time since I last posted so there are many things to be updated on! I'm going to try & do much better about posting often!

Well to start off, I graduated school back in September with my Bachelor's Degree in Culinary Management. It was a lot of work but well worth getting that piece of paper that states my accomplishment! One of the main reason I got this degree was to learn for myself what it takes to run & manage your own business. As most of you know I plan on having my own bed & breakfast so, this degree has help me tremendously.

Here is a picture of this beautiful thing!

So to continue on, 2009 was an amazing year, firstly being that it was full of love because of David Dipino :) We actually just celebrated our 1-year anniversary together a couple of days ago! <3

Back in November Dave & I went to visit my sister Jessica in Boulder, Colorado :)

She lives there while attending Naropa University, working on her Master's Degree in Art Therapy. Anyway we had a BLAST! Tons & tons of snow, it was so much fun. Jessica drove us up all through the mountains, it's so beautiful there :) We also went to the Coors brewing factory in Golden, Colorado & drank lots of free beer! :) One of our last days there we went to Estes Park, where the Stanley Hotel is. That is where Steven King lived while he wrote the Shining. We sneaked upstairs to take a look at the actual room he stayed in too!
It was such an awesome trip & I can't wait to visit again! Maybe in the spring :)

Here are some pictures from our trip!

Love&PeaceAlways.
