Sad.

My best friend at work left Ryland yesterday. She found an awesome job as a personal assistant. I'm so happy for her, but so sad too. She has been my rock and seen me through dark days at work. Not only a good friend, but a mentor and a mom to me with advice that I will take with me forever. Work will never be the same. Martha's perosnality and sense of humor was one of a kind and this woman was so creative! I will miss her terribly, but wish her the best.

9.3

I woke up a few weeks ago and realized, it's 2012.  I started at Ryland (my job) 9/30/02. This September will be 10 years! I ran to my boss and she looked in the system and sure enough I've been here 9.3 years. The good news, I get 4 weeks vacation that's sweet. The bad news, what the hell have I done in 9.3 years. Oh yeah, got married and had kids. I keep thinking of things I wanted to do: go back to school to get my B.A., get back into my make up career (yes, I wanted to be a make up artist) and do more baking hoping I could get a little biz started.  Hopefully I can still achieve those dreams. I'm only ... 38, eek!

Happy New Year

It's been awhile. Christmas was fun, but hectic. The boys got everything they wanted. I think we may have bought too much, but the smile on their faces were worth it. Andrew kept saying, "this was on my list, this was on my list." Very cute. 

New Years was mellow. Raul and I went to dinner as we always do on New Years and were home just before midnight to toast and ring in the New Year with the kids.

My birthday was yesterday. 38. Can't believe it. I'll be embracing my 40's soon.

Some new years resolutions:
As always to be healthy and try to loose 10 lbs
Be more patient with the kids. They are only little once.
To start taking the kids to church on a regular basis. I would like them to have a good foundation of God. Plus, Andrew keeps asking about god, and religion.  Andrew, "what is that building over there?" Me, "A church" Andrew, "what's a church?

Happy New Year.
