Turning 39!

I do have to admit...that when I woke up I couldn't believe I was only a year away from turning 40 and started to get a bit depressed. But that didn't last very long because I started to think of my wonderful and loving family and all the beautiful friends I have in my life...and just realized that I'm a very lucky gal.

The day before my birthday I had plans to go out for a couple of hours and my mom had the kids paint some signs for my B-Day! They were all over the living room...lol It was so sweet!

I had a wonderful day on my Birthday! Phil, Kaitlin, Nathan and my niece Miriam took me to Island's for a wonderful lunch. Then in the evening Phil and Toni surprised me and took me to Claim Jumper in Pasadena and we had a wonderful dinner with family and a few friends. That's all I really wanted for my Birthday was to be with family and friends...I feel truly blessed to have you all in my life.

Prom - 1986!

On the Foxy MB we've all been sharing our Prom pictures. Here is Phil and I at my Prom and I also went to his but for some reason I can't find those pictures at the moment and when I do I'll post it as well. We had gone with 2 other couples and we had the Best time ever!

Phil and I met in Choir Class - he was a sophomore and I was a senior (High School Sweethearts). But if you ask all our friends "who was after who" well he was a very persistant and romantic sophomore to say the least and I am eternally grateful that he was. I couldn't imagine my life without this man and K & N.

Going "Natural" every once in a while!

So everytime I get a haircut from Foxy Marissa (my awesome sister-in-law) she always wants to ring my neck for blow-drying and straightening my hair too much. She always say's to me "give your hair a break and go Natural"...ugh! We'll it's been years but I'm finally listening before she has to cut my hair off completely...LOL.

So here I am..."Au Naturel"...lol!

Birthday Crop!

For my Birthday all I really wanted to do was scrap with my "Friends". So I planned a Crop at the Memories Store in the Empire Center here in Burbank, we scrapped from 10:00am-8:00pm and we had such a Blast! We took a break and had a great lunch at Sharkey's. Toni made me homemade "Chocolate Cupcakes" and they were sooooooooooooo Delish!! Thank you so much Foxy! I loved them so much...I had TWO of them...lol.

Towards the end of the crop Joanne stopped by to pay us a visit and I was so happy to see her. We live practically 8 minutes from each other and we hardly see each other because she's such a work-a-holic...lol (just kidding). Joanne, I'm looking forward to getting together for dinner and catching up - okay! Thank you so much for the gals who were able to make it...I had such a wonderful time today!

New Years Eve!

We had a wonderful time! We celebrated with good food, family and friends and most of us were in our PJ's and very, very comfortable... LOL.

The evening started with my mom and dad making their traditional "Paella" and I made a huge green salad and it was absolutely delicious! For dessert we had so much to choose from: Toni brought a Mudd Pie, Phil's dad and mom brought 2 kinds of pies (apple and cherry) and 2 kinds of ice cream flavors...ahhhhhh it was all delicious!!!

We turned on the TV and then brought out some games and we played and talked until practically just before midnight. At 11:45pm we started to get our drinks together and did the count -down! Woo...Hoo it was a lot of fun just hanging out in our PJ's celebrating with family and friends. I just can't believe it's 2007... WOW time is sure flying ...yeesh!!

Wishing everyone a wonderful and prosperous New Year!
