Saturday's wedding was so beautiful, I didn't take enough pictures. The wedding was on a mountain side ranch a couple thousand feet in altitude. The drive up was windy but we make it obviously. Perfect weather, good people, lots of family, over all a nice day. Today on the other hand is much colder and it rained a bit. It's the last week of school where I work so the kids are extra anxious to be done.

So tonight my sister Nicole and a bunch of friends of mine graduated from college tonight. Afterward we met up and went out to eat Mexican food. Its been a really busy day and I am ready to go to bed already! Well, congratulations everyone!

Mischief

My little guy up to no good haha. But he's so gosh darn cute I don't mind the mess. It's been a family filled week so I apologize for not posting much. My sister is graduating from college, my grandma's coming to visit, and my cousins getting married soon. All in all should be a wonderful ushering into summer.

My Niece

                                                     Rock star party for my nieces 19th birthday

Now today, my little sweet niece is 21 years old! I posted a picture of my niece Mourissa, my brother (her dad), and myself from a previous birthday of hers. My family likes to do themed parties and so that year we did a rock star theme, can you guess who we are? My brother is Run DMC and my niece is Lady Gaga. And well me... I don't know haha. I think I was going for a Madonna type look. Time flies. I have 10 nieces and nephews and one great nephew. My other niece Serina who is also 21 had a baby boy last August. My brother Mourice has four children, my sister Nicole has three, and my sister Sofia has three as well. And that leaves me with none. They all dived into the baby making business early in life, I've decided to take my time.

Four years to date

Four years ago today, I married my best friend. In total be have been together for 10 years now. We were high school sweet hearts and now I guess we are just sweet hearts. Today we are going out to eat and shop and just enjoy the day. We've come so far in the last four years, I'm excited to see where life takes us. I am a blessed woman.

Good Luck Gina!

                                          

There's nothing like old friends getting together! It's been three years since these ladies and I got together. We are all former employees and good friends. My friend Gina J (the one getting kissed) if off to start the next chapter of her life in Arizona, we will miss her! We went out to Mexican food and Karaoke and had a blast catching up! Cherished memories! Tonight I am going out with my other friend and bestie Gina G to celebrate Cinco De Mayo and our anniversary or "frenniversary" as some call it! About to walk out the door!

Remember

                                                     me and my dad around age eight

Today my father would have been 56 years old. Hardest days of the year for me are fathers day, his birthday, the anniversary of his passing, and traditional holidays. The days you want to be with them the most I guess. He was the best man I have ever met, my husband ties with him on a different level. But simply put he is my hero. Even though it will be nine years this coming summer since he's been gone, I am lucky to say that he got to meet and shake the hand of my future husband (then just my friend). So that does make my marriage extra special knowing that my husband got my fathers approval in a way. Today I honor and cherish his memory.
