Happy New Years!!!


Want to wish all of my friends a Happy New Year!!! Lets hope that 2009 will be a lot better than 2008. Hope the economy gets better and the New President will make a difference in this world.
I am ready for a new beginning. I need to put 2008 behind me and start anew. I'm very Hopeful! I will no longer ask "How worse can it get?". So, I will not say these words in 2009. I can't handle anymore bad news or anymore of the doom and gloom of this economy that is changing our lives.
Cheers to 2009!!!!

Twas the Night Before Christmas

Happy Christmas Eve !!!

This year we decided to stay home, just the 3 of us and make a fun family day. We really want to start some traditions with Briana, as our families never really had any. Also, because, we still have our coughs and sniffles, the day is cold (45 degrees, I know for some of you its a heat wave, but for So. California its freaking cold) and heavy rains.

So tonight, I cooked our traditional meal of the pork roast, white rice, & black beans (well this year we had red beans, cause that's what the little girl wanted) and a chocolate silk pie for dessert. After dinner we went and drove around a neighborhood, less than a mile away, the majority of the homes have there are all decked out and lights galore. It was awesome and to hear Brianas gasps and shout out what she has seen and at everyone home we drove/or walked sometimes she would say how beautiful it was. She did not want to come home, she wanted to see more lights and we would of like to, but all of sudden it started to pour rain and we had to run back to the car.....LOL!!! It was fun. After coming home we had some snacks and saw the Get Smart movie we have had sitting at the kitchen counter for days. I totally loved that movie, gonna see if I can find a good price on it this week-end.

Today, was also a Christmas Wish come true. We, finally sold the house, we've been trying to sell it for a while. We've had lots of Realtors and their clients come in and out and they loved the house, but the people now and days prefer to buy a REO, Short Sale priced homes, instead of a hassle free home. We have gotten a few offers and then later on fall thru, I was really praying for someone who really wants the house and just buy it. This economy is so messed up, that we really needed this. Now, a new adventure and new chapter in our lives begin.

Please pray that the transaction goes smoothly and we close escrow with no problems.

Thank you my friends. {HUGS}

Happy Birthday, Daddy!!!


Today, my daddy turns 73 years old. Wow! I can not believe he is that age. I am so glad he is very healthy (at least that's what he tells me), he is still working, he still parties like he was in his 20's. He is full of fun and energy. I hope, by the time I am his age I will be as healthy and full of energy like he is.

I love you, Daddy!! Here's to many more birthdays.

Disneyland in December

I am so tired and sore!! We had received a free admission ticket to Disneyland back in October and I had til mid December to use it. We finally used it yesterday, I was waiting for all the Christmas decorations to be up to go. I just love Disneyland in December.

We had a blast! We met up with our friends Eric and Caryn. Briana was so in awe with everything. We were all surprised she went all day and all night without falling asleep. She finally did around 9pm. This morning, she just kept talking and telling us about all the things she saw and loved. Her favorite ride was Pirates of the Caribbean, which surprised us, cause she was scared, its was pretty dark and did not like the first drop, afterwards she was okay.....LOL!

Here are some pictures to enjoy. So mad that my battery was real low by night time, so I couldn't take any good pictures of all the lights around Disneyland. Its a small world looked so beautiful. So bummed!

Briana and Me on the Dumbo Ride-so much fun!

Where should we go next....We've got to check the map Mommy!

Friday Fill Ins

Found this site, that does Friday Fill in. Thought I would give it a try.

3. Briana is the best little girl ever! (well she has her days......LOL!)
4. One of my favorite old TV shows is I Love Lucy.
5. I'm done with feeling sick these past few weeks.
6. The most enjoyable thing around the holidays is all the delicious food we prepare.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to watching Ghost Whispers and scrap booking, tomorrow my plans include going to Farmers Market to buy flowers and dinner at a friends house and Sunday, I want to sleep in!

Have a great day. Thanks for stopping by. {HUGS}
