Fondue on Front St.



They have a tank of jellyfish by the bar, they look so beautiful just floating around. I could stare at them all day.







Our friends Caressa and Jim and their baby Orin met us Downtown to have some fondue at The Little Dipper. The food was delicious and we finished up with an amazing milk chocolate fondue. It came with strawberries, bananas, marshmellows and more. Definitly a treat!
After dinner they stopped by our apt. and we gave them one of the eggnog custard pies that Brian made. He created the recipe on my request since I love eggnog anything. Orin had so much fun playing with Isabelle, and she was especially sweet and gentle with him. We all had a wonderfull time.

Holiday Recap



I just realised that I haven't made a holiday post! We had a great Christmas and a nice and relaxing New Year's Eve. Above is the awesome Hello Kitty Christmas card I got from Eddie. He was also kind enough to send me a super cool Charmmy Kitty DS Lite skin that's only available in Japan! Here's me doing my japanese school girl pose, ha ha!







We really had a wonderful Christmas, we went to Jacksonville to spend the 4 day weekend with our parents. Along with our suitcases and gifts, we brought the sugar gliders in their travel cage and Isabelle in her carrier, it was like the Jones family traveling zoo, ha! We got great gifts, some of my favorites were the new Josh Groban CD, makeup, and a sewing machine. Brian got Family Guy Monopoly and a new power tool set.
For New Year's Eve we stayed home and relaxed. Our Christmas was really busy since we had to attend events with different family members the whole time so we just sat in our PJs and watched the ball drop on TV. At midnight I kissed my darling husband, it was the perfect end to a great year.

A trip to the museum

Driving to the museum


This beautiful kimono looking piece is part of the "weaving" exhibit. It's woven out of thousands of strips of fabric, with wording embrodered on the collar. I really liked it.








These were made from cables, wires, and hoses.




I look so serious, ha ha.
Today I decided to check out the exhibits at the local art museum. Museums aren't really Brian's cup of tea so I went by myself. It's a small one but they had some interesting pieces. After the museum I stopped by a coffee shop downtown that I used to go to when I first moved to Wilmington. The barista recognized me and gave me a big hug, I told him about getting married to Brian and he was really happy for me. Later I picked Brian up and we had dinner at Terazzo, it was recommended by Natalie, my step-sister. She used to work there and told us how great the food is. She was right, everything was delicious. We'll definitly be going back.
