Well, it's 2010! I think that 2009 was a great year! It was a very important year in my life. The main highlight was that I got married to my soul mate and best friend. We had a beautiful wedding and a wonderful honeymoon.
In our seven months of marriage we have made some wonderful memories. Married life has been great!
I look forward to having a great 2010 with Jon. We hope to go on at least one fun trip this year.
As for new years resolutions, I have one. I am going to exercise more and lose some weight. I have been good about establishing a little bit of an exercise routine, but I know that I can do so much better. So here's to 2010 to help me reach my goal! We shall see!
Happy New Year all!

New Orleans Soiree
Greetings from BR! Vita and I had a wonderful trip to New Orleans this week. I had a few days off from school and Vita was fortunate enough to get some time off also. We got to spend Thursday and part of Friday in the French Quarter. I really loved it! We got to visit three fun bookstores (including the Faulkner Library) and I bought a book about my favorite composer, Richard Wagner. We got to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe, Fiorella's, and the Mona Lisa. All three restaurants were great, but all very different from each other. My favorite was the Mona Lisa because it was the first place Vita and I got to go as a married couple. We also got to go on a Haunted Tour. It was very interesting. I enjoyed getting to hear the ghost stories. I hope to get to go for the Vampire Tour and the Haunted History Tour (it was voted the best tour in New Orleans) sometime in the future.
All in all it was a really fun trip: Vita and I really got to spend some wonderful, quality time together and I got to experience some of the fun places she remembered from her childhood and teen years. I can't wait to go back!

The Mitchell's Go to Virginia
Jon and I went to Virginia last weekend to visit Jon's family. It was our first visit as a married couple. An ice cream social was held in our honor.
How we got there is a pretty interesting story, since we did not have a car.
I was able to get a really good deal on airfare, so we flew to Raleigh, NC.
We turned in the rental last Thursday. Our friend, Dustin, met us at Enterprise and drove us to the New Orleans airport.
Our connecting flight was in Atlanta, but there was bad weather and ground control issues in Atlanta. We were really delayed, which caused us to loose our connection in Atlanta.
We had lunch at Moe's and then went to our gate and waited.
We got to fly in first class or business class, as they now call it. It was pretty cool. I made being very late, not so bad. I loved that we got drinks before take off, and all those little things.
We finally got into Raleigh around 9 PM. I can't remember exactly. I got to see my aunt, uncle, and cousin for about 5 minutes. They live in Raleigh. Nathan and Kara came to pick us up, and we drove 4 hours to get to Pounding Mill, VA. We got to the Mitchell house around around1:30 or 2:30 AM. What a journey!
Day 1: Friday, consisted of a drive to Emory and Henry College, where Nathan will begin college in the fall. Both Jon and Tina attended E & H, before transferring to Millsaps College. It was nice to finally get to see the campus after hearing so much about it.
Day 2: On Saturday everyone was preparing for the ice cream social that evening. Jon's 3 brothers set up at tent, so they could perform live music to entertain everyone. They were great.
It was nice to see the people I had already met. I also enjoyed meeting all the new people that came to share in our joy.
Day 3: On Sunday we went to church. Then we drove to Bluefield, West Virginia. We had lunch at a place called Macado's, then we walked around the mall. I really wanted to go to Belk, so I could spend my gift cards. I got a few place settings of my stainless, got what was left of the Fiestaware place settings that were on my registry, and I got the towels that I wanted. It was a successful trip!
Monday was spent on the road. We hopped in Jon's old car and drove it back here. It is so nice to have a car again.
We had a great trip.

Ready to Travel
Yesterday, I found out that my leave request was approved! I am so happy! It will be nice to take a little road trip up to Virginia. Our first official road trip as a married couple.
I just love this site: http://www.roadsideamerica.com/
Maybe, if we have time, we can stop at one of the places on the way. We don't usually have time, but one can hope.
I would love to travel Route 66 one day! It would be so awesome! I love roadside Americana.
I don't understand why retired people go back to work, because they are bored. I would trade places with them any day. I would travel! You would not hear me complain about being bored with nothing to do.
