Happy Birthday to My VeroBabies!

March 7, 2011

Today is/way my VeroBabies birthday and I was lucky enough to be invited to her birthday dinner at the Cheesecake Factory with a few of her close friends! For the first time ever we were last to show up but only because everyone else was very early. It's such an odd feeling to be the one people wait for, I guess there is a first for everything.

Back to my VeroBabies, today God blessed her with another year to accomplish her goals, make her dreams come true and make a difference in this world of ours. She is one of my best friends and I love her with my all, she is the friend that I can always count on and that shares so many of the same passions as I do. She understands me as I understand her I'm so thankful that she loves me as I love her.

Here are pictures of the lovely fun dinner, we spent hours and hours laughing!

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Today is my wonderful Mommy’s birthday!

The amazing Mother who has helped me be the person I am today. The amazing Mother who has always supported me, believed me and loved me no matter what. The amazing Mother who has dried away my tears, help me in my time of need and picked me up when I was down. The amazing Mother who has stood up for me, boosted about me and gave me away on my wedding day. Today God has blessed her with another year!

Last night my brothers and I took her out to dinner at World Famous Islamorada Fish Company Restaurant. We had a wonderful time. My older brother and I decided that we need to go out to eat as a family more often, its good bonding time. I’m sure that we can make it a once a month tradition. Breakfast or dinner at a restaurant so that no one needs to worry about cleaning up. I’m pretty excited about this. Family outings are always so much fun and a must!

Today I’m surprise my Mommy with Casey’s Cupcakes! I’m sure she will love one of the flavors I have picked out for her; Red Velvet, Orange, Strawberry, Vanilla, Carrot, White Chocolate Cherry. How can someone not be able to pick one out? I’m going to have trouble picking just one to eat!

I hope she enjoys them and I hope she has an amazing day and year! I love my Mommy!

Merry Christmas to all!!!

Sorry I've been m.i.a for a while.. almost a week and let's face it the last two posts were pretty lame. I've been stuck at a pity party that I threw myself and well just be happy you weren't my party bag! :)

So good news! Last week I was working out like crazy and my body loved me for it! Bad news? I'm sick and I didn't get to go today :( and so I am hoping to make it tomorrow. I feel a little better. I was suppose to go to Disneyland with my friend (we have annual passes) but I woke up so icky, :( we're hoping to be able to go before I go back to work next week.

Now what have I been up to that I have been so busy to post? Well other than working out twice a day during one of the rainy days Juan and I took out his Christmas present to break it in...



I only shot the gun three times, the kick was too much. My goodness does that gun have some power! I took a video with my phone but I'm not sure how to get it on my computer yet :( I can't email it to myself either because the file is too big. Husband was/is very happy with his gun. He can't wait to take it out again. He's thinking of getting me my own gun but I don't know about that. I think I'll stick to renting. One gun in the house is enough...

Well then it was Christmas Eve! We spent it with my family as we do every year. I'm so happy to have such a thankful Husband that will not fight me on this! We had such a wonderful time. We waited until my lil big brother got home from work and then had a late dinner. We hung around and the kids played and then at midnight the gifts were opened!

This year I added color to my tree, last year it was all black and white. This year something just came over me and I added a lot of bright colors! The tree to the right is my mom's tree. This was the picture before all the gifts were opened! As you can tell I the kids were fully awake at midnight! Nothing was going to keep them away from opening presents!!! 

Let me just add that I have been using my Nikon D3100 and almost all of my pictures have now been taken with this amazing camera!!! I just love it!! I can't wait to really get into taking pictures!!

Christmas day was spent with my in laws. We had a wonderful turkey dinner planned and I set the table as best as I can. I waned to add more but I also wanted there to be enough room for everyone.

Dinner is ready!!



Now, I'm a very controlling person. I want everything to always be right and perfect. I was hoping to have a wonderful and beautiful dinner with my in laws. Sadly, it didn't work out that way. My in laws brought an extra person which they did not tell me so I had to somehow add an extra place setting and then my lil sister in law was late to dinner because she was with her boyfriend (who we invited but he didn't want to attend). Then when Juan cut into the turkey it wasn't fully cooked and the food was getting cold. As much as I tried dinner just went to crap. But at least the table setting was nice for a few moments.

After my panic attack and my venting to Juan we took off to the movies. Juan and I have been doing this since we have been dating. Every Christmas we go out and watch a movie. This year it was Black Swan. LOVED THE MOVIE! The plot was amazing and it was so different! I'm so happy I got over my anxiety and went out.

I really do hate having such bad social anxiety. It gets in the way of being happy and having a good time. I try to fight it but sometimes it just gets the better of me. Not many people understand that side of me, it's something I just can't help nor control. I'm working at it though.

Oh Rain, Rain, Rain...

It has not been stooping to rain but thankfully I love it! There are many people that don't but hey we need it and it just sounds so beautiful!

Recap of the weekend:

Friday: I was suppose to go to yoga with Val but Husband wanted to see TRON as soon as I got of work. LIES! I had thought he had bought the tickets but nope. He even ended up wanting to watch it with my little brother so we didn't go until 9:00 p.m. oh well.

TRON, I loved it. I loved the music because well who doesn't love Daft Punk! I loved the graphics and everything! What I didn't like is the fact that there are too many little kids who are sadly adults that just don't know how to act in a theater! Why would you play $12 for a ticket and then play musical chairs, jump over the chairs and talk nonstop! Oh let's not forget the texting!! My goodness! I wanted to tell them to shut up but I just didn't want to have to deal with them being dramatic because they think that it's okay for them do act this way and bothers those around you. I guess thankfully because of the rain there weren't that many kids at the theater. Thank goodness!!



The Happy Birthday Boy!

Saturday: We were suppose to go to the shooting range but somehow all we ended up doing is sleeping in and being lazy. I for one didn't get out of bed until 3:00 p.m. I have not been able to do that in so long. I have been busy and busy and I just didn't have to get out of bed if I didn't want to. That night though was Juan's birthday dinner with the friends. I invited a lot of our friends but only two of our friends ended up going and our little siblings. I was sad because there weren't that many people going, Husband said that he didn't care. The people that care about him are going to be there and that is all that matters. The people that can't or don't even try well that's on them. It's not everyday that he tries to celebrate his birthday. Dinner was amazing! We went to Buca de Bippo and everyone had a very happy tummy at the end of the night! I for one paid for it today at the gym! Just look at that food!

I was so full at the end of night! Everyone was! And you know what? We surprised everyone by paying for the dinner. We didn't let anyone pay. Why? Because it's a few days before Christmas and all we really wanted was for our friends to spend the time with us!

RIGHT: The Zamorano kids! Daisy was sick and she still came to the dinner...maybe not the best choice because were are now so scared to end up sick like her! I don't think we will though, gotta think healthy to stay healthy!

LEFT: Me and my little brother! He will always be there for us! We love him so much! I bought him that purple shirt and he rocks it so good! Might I add that it took Juan FOREVER to get a good picture of us because he fears my new awesome camera!

RIGHT: David and Celestie! The two friends that we can always count on to go to our dinners. No matter what they have planned they will be there. They had a family Christmas dinner that they needed to go to and they put that on hold so that they could be there for us! How awesome is that! They really are the best fun friends we have! Oh but let me not forget that Celestie meant to do that face! Silly goose!

Oh did I mention that we also had cake! Yes, there was no way that we were not going to try the celebration cake this time around! But not that many of us liked it. Well more like David and Daisy and well Juan didn't want to try it because he was soooooo full! Plus he also had his own brownie!

SUNDAY: Didn't do much, I have been having a moody day so I have stayed away from people and Husband has been trying to make me happy. I went to the gym and had a good time there but once I left the moodiness came back. So Husband told me he would take me shopping, that didn't make things any better because well, people are Christmas shopping and the people that are crazy looking for last minutes gifts are so rude. Why? I have no idea. Where is the joy? Why are people not happy?

Readers: Are you done shopping? Who was the hardest person for you to shop for? Did you give this year?
