New Year!

The holidays were good. We spent it with family and friends. We celebrated Jordan's 15th birthday early January with family as well. I took him to see Jeff Dunham at Wells Fargo Center as part of his birthday gift. He loved it! Jordan got a new Android/Samsung Galaxy phone for Christmas...ouch, not cheap. We went to NY for Christmas Eve, visited the Natural History Museum, Central Park, and Rockefeller Center. As we were getting back on the bus to return to Philly in the evening it started to snow. It was a great day! We spent New Year's Eve at Warmdaddy's, eating good food, listening to great music, and dancing the night away. The singer, Amazing Grace, even sang to Jordan and tried to get him to sing along......lol. We went to a Sixers game and they actually won! I treated myself to a massage and facial this month, which I think has helped relieve some stress.

Jordan continues to take guitar and voice lessons. He is in "like" with one of the girls who is taking guitar lessons. We continue to visit one of my favorite spots, DiNardo's, where Jordan gets a NY strip steak and I get the garlic crabs....Yummo! We visited the Helium Comedy club this month for some good laughs with friends. We have enjoyed watching movies like: MAMA, Zero Dark Thirty, Django, Today is 40, Haunted House, and Le Miserable.

My job is going well. The program I manage is growing and it's very exciting. Three people from department are retiring January-February so we have had/having 3 luncheons to wish them all well and thank them for their service.

As the winter is in full force, I think about what I want to accomplish this year; some travel, excel at work, help Jordan be more independent, and a few other things. I pray that 2013 is full of adventures, love, and lots of wonderful experiences.
