R & R in Maui

Richard had a few days of Rest and Relaxation in Maui. I'm a little jealous. Chicago had 4-6 inches of snow when he was in beautiful 80 degree weather. But I just keep reminding myself that I will be there in less than 2 months.



Here's Rich by the pool at the Four Seasons in Maui. Look at those palm trees!


This is the harbour. I couldn't tell you the name of it, even if I could, I wouldn't be able to spell or pronounce it. I guess that will be one of the first things I need to do once I get there...practice saying Hawaiian words.

A couple views from the hotel. All I can say is...GORGEOUS, Absolutely Gorgeous!

Both of these pictures are of Lanai and were taken from the ferry. The bottom is of Sweetheart Rock. Now, go Google the story behind Sweetheart Rock and learn a little about Lanai. :)

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Merry Christmas! I spend this weekend in Kansas City at my brother Brian's house with my family. It was great seeing everyone. Here are some of the pictures from our time together.

This is my tree; it's red, white and blue. My grandmother loved Christmas, and it's also one of my favorite holidays. I always think about her this time of year. We love you Grandma Joyce.

Now you all get to meet the Forquer's. Please meet my mom (Sharon), Eric, dad (Gary), me with Isabelle, and Brian.

Eric's Family...Emily, Sabra, and Nicholas. Brain's Family...Joedi, Lauren, David and Sean. And my Dad, Mom, Aunt Cathy and Uncle Vic...he was the only one still in the holiday spirit. Don't you just love that hat!

Here are my girls...Miss Lauren and Miss Sabra. And my boys...David, Sean, and Nicholas.

Wild Man...Mr. David Forquer, The Fireman... Mr. Nicholas Forquer, and Cutie Patootie...Mr. Sean Forquer

Little Miss Sabra Forquer and the youngest, Baby Girl Lauren Forquer

Happy Holidays everyone! Have a safe and Happy New Year!

2008 is going to be a great year! I wish you the best in all your

endeavours!

MERRY CHRISTMAS from Richard and Me!

Our Weekend in NJ

We started our weekend off celebrating Rich's mom's surprise birthday party...and she was definitely surprised! Thanks Jennifer for a great party!

Happy Birthday Beverly! I hope you enjoyed the party! I know we all did.

This was the first time I met Rich's family. Please let me introduce you to them...Mena, John, Beverly, Jennifer, and Richard. And don't you worry, you will all get a chance to meet the Forquer's at Christmas in Kansas City.






Good morning NYC!
Our view from the hotel.








Much to Rich's liking, it snowed Sunday. All he kept talking about was that he hoped it would snow...and it did. So, we decided to go into the City, twice!!









Hello Times Square!! This was my first time in NYC. It was great seeing how different it is from Chicago. What a beautiful city!





It was a weekend of many firsts. I also had a chance to try a cannoli. Richard said we had to get them from Farrara's. And they were delicious! I actally had a sugar bender.







The gorgeous tree at Rockefeller Center.










We had a great weekend! The next time I see Richard will be in January, and I'll be back in Hawaii. ALOHA!
