Words Can't Describe
December 11 and 12, 2012
Grand Canyon, AZ
Wow, words can't describe the beauty and massiveness of the Grand Canyon. I have traveled several times to Phoenix for work and have always wanted to take the four hour drive north to check out this wonder. It just so happened that my company had planned a meeting for December 13th, so Dr. Sam and I went to Phoenix a day early and traveled north. The timing of the entire trip couldn't have been better. Our plane landed early on Tuesday so we missed rush hour traffic. Most times there is already snow on the ground (yes, it snows in Northern Arizona), but like most of us they haven't seen snow yet. We arrived late on Tuesday to enjoy a dinner at El Tover Restaurant on the Grand Canyon grounds. The next morning I woke up to go get a jog in before heading to there, but was completely surprised to see we were there. I ran on the trails and watched the sun rise. Dr. Sam and I went to several looks out before heading back to town.
Flagstaff, AZ
We stopped for lunch in Flagstaff, AZ and walked around the downtown area. They had some cute stores. They also were counting down the days for the pine cone drop (New Year's Eve).
I'm so glad that I was able to take the opportunity to see such a great site! I would love to go again and do more trails! I better keep in shape!

Vegan Cooking Class
December 3, 2012
Amanda gave me my Christmas present early this year. She had arranged for us to take vegan cooking classes one night after work. We showed up at 6 and ate by around 8 PM. It was alot of work, but it was fun to help out in the kitchen. Amanda and I were in charge of the pesto. I think I have it down now and want to share with others. Anyone brave enough? Others in the class were in charge of eggplant, soup, tiramisu, and risotto. I was in a food coma before we left.

Parade of Homes
December 1, 2012
Dad signed Mom up for a Parade of Homes Tour and she spent more hours decorating the house than anyone could count. It is beautiful and so exciting to get to celebrate Christmas in just a few weeks now. Rachel and I met in Hannibal, MO to drive home to be tour guides. Jordan also got to work her schedule around and joined us for most of the weekend also! By the end of the tour, Rachel and I both agreed that the stories kept growing! I think we got close to the truth on most occasions.

A Time to be Thankful
Thanksgiving 2012
Wednesday, November 21- Sunday, November 25
This year my family came to St. Louis to bring in the holiday season. The Andrews met me at work and we started the party early. Wednesday night we have the official lighting of the Christmas tree. It took about 10 seconds to get all my decorations out! Thursday was beautiful and we took advantage of the outdoors. Dad, Rachel, and I went to Creve Coeur Lake to get in a 2.6 mile run. Afterwards we headed to the St. Louis Thanksgiving Day parade. How fun and enjoyable to be outside. For our Thanksgiving dinner we ate at TGI Friday's before Dad's famous pies. We rested up for our shopping adventures and deals we did find on shoes. It's better that we lose count on how many we bought! I'm very thankful for my family and all the support they give. We laugh until we cry and have the time of our life.

Zootini
November 17, 2012
Amanda and I headed out to support the zoo at the annual Zootini fundraiser. It is a chance to dress up, dance, and meet new friends. We ate dinner at Barcelona before heading over to the zoo! What a great night!
