Looking back at the year, I think 2014 treated me really well and I did lots of traveling and fun things with friends and family while also keeping up with my full-time job as well as Martinis & Bikinis. It wasn't always easy and I've had ups and downs but I try to focus on the positives.
January
I was sent to Vegas by my company for a work convention and stayed at MGM Grande. Since it was my first time visiting Vegas, I took a few days off of work to tour the strip and K came along to join the fun.
February
Kate and I started our Tuesday Recipe Swap linkup which has been fun keeping up with and trying out new recipes every week. Feel free to join us every Tuesday if you have a recipe or food related post you want to share.
March
Celebrated St Patrick's day with friends...
Also traveled to San Francisco for another work conference which was amazing! I used my free time to do a bus tour and visit the Golden Gate Bridge. I love this city and just found out I will be going back next year for the same conference. Woo hoo!
April
Went to New Orleans for a bachelorette with a group of 8 ladies and partied up and down the streets. My NOLA bachelorette trip recap.
I also threw an Easter dinner party for friends at my house.
May
Spent Memorial weekend at St Pete beach for a beach front wedding and stayed a couple nights at the hotel with friends.
June
We traveled to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic for another wedding. Punta Cana is by far one of the most beautiful destinations I've visited to date.
Later in June, my work took us on a company beach vacation to St Pete beach.
July
Celebrated 4th July with friends at a pool party.
August
August was a fairly uneventful month. We made a few beach trips and I went to a baby shower and a gender reveal party for friends. We also lost our cat Skyh who was 12 years old.
September
We visited Chicago with Kate and her hubby for K's birthday. We toured the city, went on a river boat cruise tour, ate some great meals, went to a baseball game at Wrigley Field and had an absolute blast! We all loved Chi town.
October
My parents came to visit for 2 weeks from Trinidad. We went for a beach weekend trip to Treasure Island on the west coast of Florida and stayed at a condo for a few days.
My best friend of almost 25 years came to visit me from Trinidad to go wedding shopping. We shopped til we dropped and had so much find spending QT together.
November
Our wrinkly baby joined our family and has been keeping us very busy. She made a 2 hour road trip with us to celebrate Thanksgiving and even got a little piece of turkey to try.
December
My work holiday party at Universal Studios and City Walk.
Witnessed the marriage of two good friends and had a blast at their wedding.
2014 was my first full year in the 30's and WOW was it a fun year!
Looking forward to what 2015 has in store for me!
