It's been a while...

I apologize for the lack of posting the last few weeks!

After the very fun weekend of the bar crawl - I went to work Monday morning to find out that my work computer was stolen from my desk over the weekend.  Somehow or another, someone came in and saw my MacBook laptop and walked away with it, the power strip and a set of headphones.  I was so upset about it and felt so bad that my computer was gone!  But everyone at work assured me that it would be okay, that it wasn't my fault and that we would figure something out.

The next two days after that I had a meeting in Brooklyn - which was really great.  I learned a lot more about the company and where they are looking to go in 2011 - so it was a great few days.

Then the next weekend was the Jets tailgate that had been planned for all of the Loyola kids!  Tom sold seats to three of our friends (Anthony, Billy and Brett) who each bought two seats.  So the boys generously took a friend with them to the game and we had an awesome tailgate beforehand!  Here are some photos!

Jenelle, Frank, Brett, me, Anthony, Billy, and Liz!

J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!

Brett grilling us some grub!

 What was really nice about the tailgate was that some of our Jets friends came - so I got to introduce them to the Loyola crew.

Then we went into the stadium and met Tom (who was working the whole day before the game) and headed to our amazing seats!  The game was another nail-biter, but the Jets pulled out the win in the end!  We had such a great time!

After such a fun weekend - it was nice to have a short work week!  I worked in the office Monday and Tuesday and then worked from home on Wednesday.

Wednesday would have been my parents' 31st wedding anniversary, so I was very happy that I was able to be at home with my Mom.  

Of all the couples I have ever known, my parents had it perfect.
Thank you for showing us how to love.

Thursday of course was Thanksgiving and my brother and sister-in-law hosted 26 guests at their beautiful home.  Karen did a great job with the dinner and everything was delicious!  

Friday is our annual Christmas-decorations day in the Noonan house (pictures are to come...) where we transform our home into what has been described as a winter wonderland.  

Saturday I went to breakfast with my friend Liz and caught up on all that is going on in our lives and then went home for lunch with my Mom, brothers and sisters.  We went to mass on Saturday night and had a delicious Momma Noons dinner.  After a HomeGoods run with Patrick, he and I went to Dairy Queen to pick up some ice cream for everyone!  Then I packed and got ready to leave early Sunday morning!

Work has been going really well and I have been assigned more projects - which is really great!  So, again I apologize for the lapse of "reporting" but I will get back to my few posts/week - promise!

Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families and friends - and thank you for loyally reading along!
