Merry Belated Christmas!

Christmas this year came and went wayyy to fast for my taste! We prepped forever for 1 day and now it's OVER! Santa was VERY VERY VERY good to me this year, thank god! I thought for a minute that I was getting a bag of coal.

Other than the gifts (WHICH I LOVE) I got to spend tons of quality time with the family & that's the best gift I get each year.

I would be lying if i said that I didn't love my purse, wallet, boots, jeans, shirts, perfumes, sprays, lotions, wine, and jewelry that I got this year. I told you Santa was very good to me this year :)

It was also amazing to be able to wish my brother a Merry Christmas via Skype! Thank you lord for modern technology.

Oh goodness and now we're prepping for the New Year! I wonder what 2011 has in store for my little household.. and NO, there will be NO bun in the over for us yet!

So again Merry Belated Christmas!!

Love,

Me!!

Change?

The only constant in life is change

People come, people go, some are born others pass and nothing is really certain in life.. (phew I think i blew neuron with that) 

But seriously everything these days is so fast paced and it seems like I never get a moment to stop and listen to the world.

This year has been full of change for me. The kick off to 2010 was an engagement, the wedding planning, the marriage, moving out, moving in, buying furniture, making ends meet, adjusting to a new like and the clutter in my brain has been non stop and I'd just like a minute to breath and take in all the great changes in my life.

Don't confuse my rantings with complaints, I love change but sometimes I just want a little consistency. 

“God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”

we don't say goodbye we say "see ya later"

Mamita Mira & Dad

Monday afternoon my family was devastated by the news that our grandmother passed away... She is survived by her husband of 70 years, 7 children, 19 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren, we were sad that she didn't pass away in our hometown of Altamira

 Our trips to the hometown will no longer be the same, and our house will always be missing something. Thankfully the last time I saw her she was still in good spirits and I didn't get to see her suffer. I'm thankful she was surrounded by our family that loved and cared for her dearly. 

My mother's mom died when I was about 5, and my father's mother lived in Colombia so I never really knew what it was to have a grandmother all the time. I didn't think her death would affect me as much as it did, and I think it's because I feel my father's pain. I can only imagine the pain he feels and it's for him that my heart aches. 

"Missing someone get easier everyday because even though you are one day further from the last time you saw them, you are one day close to the next time you will"

I know that she's finally resting in piece with our heaving father and soon enough we'll meet again in his glory! So, i'm not saying "chao Mamita" I'm saying "nos vemos pronto"
