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!

Happy Birthday Barbie!

This past Thursday, Cornell Museum of American Art & Culture at Old School Square in Delray launched a Barbie exhibit celebrating Barbie's 50th birthday! More than 500 vintage Barbie Dolls, friends, family members and accessories were showcased in the exhibit. They also had a few people dressed as real life Barbie & Ken. It was a lot of fun & such a beautiful exhibit! It's the little things like this that I get to see that make me very happy! :)

Dave was covering it for a story so I went with him and his sister Lisa Came as well with her two kids, Alyssa & Austin. We thought the kids would love the exhibit, and they did!

They also had little crafts for kids to do! Here's Alyssa making a butterfly :)

Also there were a bunch of little miniatures people made on display. These are a couple of my favorite.

Love&PeaceAlways.

Henry's

A few weeks ago Dave and I ventured off on another food review! This time it was to Henry's in Delray, a fine dining restaurant.


It's owned by the same company that owns Bogart's Bar & Grille in the Boca Muvico, where we went a few months prior.


We were stuffed with much to eat and it all was very good. I will say though, that I did have higher expectations of this place. There food was good but there wasn't that wow factor, that something that sets them apart from the rest. I would have to say I prefer Bogart's a lot more.


Anyway, here are some pictures from our fun night!



Enjoy!
