I could proclaim that I ate too many tamales for Thanksgiving and got super fat and developed "cankles" (ankle + calf), but I will confess the truth. Yes, I did eat lots of mommas home-made yummo tamales, but on Sunday right before I return to our routine of work, school, homework, etc. I missed a bottom stair into the kitchen and literally heard cracking bones. I think I would rather birth another 10lb kid than go through that again. OHMAGOSH, such pain. Seems that I fractured some tiny little bones in my ankle, can't walk, and am absolutely miserable. Tomorrow I get fitted for an orthopedic boot or a 10lb cast and apparently it is not the best fashion wear. Maybe I will borrow the Beddazzler from my niece and create a one of a kind piece of fashion :) Lucky me!
Thanksgiving Holiday was awesome! I had my sister and her family from El Paso enter our world for a week. I already miss them so much and to think that they just left this morning. I also felt like the I hit the jack-pot with the best-est friend in the world, Allison aka Storm (even though she never gets upset with me that I continue to not call her by her real name). Each Thanksgiving she makes attempts to enter our world regardless what state life takes us to. She reminded me that we are going on 20 years of knowing each other and it seems like yesterday that I met this diamond-of-a-friend in a huge lecture hall studying genetics. How I wish that Florida was a little closer. Our girlie nights this past week were such fun. I am in love with my family and friends it confirms why we have a Thanksgiving Holiday in the first place, so many people to give thanks for.
Who am I... I am a mommy to a great little 6 year old princess, stepmom to a really cool 14 year old kiddo, and wife to a handsome guy. Oh yeah, and outside of home I am a teacher of many sorts and have more hobbies that we can possibly afford. I love life and feel that each day is blessed by God, for it belongs to him.
This year I am 35 and have traveled around the US being the wife of an Army guy and have met so many wonderful and great friends that have touched my life in more ways than they will ever know.
I have a great sister who is in El Paso,a dad in New Mexico who has contributed to my soul by providing such great childhood memories, an extended family in Roswell, New Mexico, a mom & family I love in San Antonio, and friends everywhere. When I don't get to see them, "How I miss them all".
Family and friends mean the world to me so I have decided to bring them into our world.
