So proud of my man!

So this week I got to do something I haven't done in about 10 years. I kissed a college boy! No it's not what you are thinking, Gordo is taking some classes at Las Positas College. He is taking some classes to get a certificate in occupational safety, and might continue on and get his associates. I could not be more proud of him, so I wanted to let the world know. I know you will do great Gordo and I love you so much!

Adoring Wife

"I know that you are not perfect and nor can I claim to be either, but please believe me, when I say that I want to be by your side, to hold your hand, to treasure you in the morning and in the noon-tide, to be next to you, to be held close to your heart now and for the rest of my living years, to comfort you, dry your tears and calm your most frightening fears, to fight your battles and show no shame to scream my love for you out loud over and over again."

JOY
I LOVE YOU
P.S. Will You Marry me

Happy New Year Everyone

Thank you everyone who helped our trip to Utah be great. We came home exhausted, getting in at 1:00 am didn't help, but we accomplished a lot. Alli got her drivers license, yeah, we all got cleaned, drilled and filled, thanks Dad. I had much needed spa time with Amy, thank you. We ate at all our Utah favorites, Chuck a rama, Cafe Rio, Artic Circle, La Puente, Gandolfo's, and Iceberg. There were a few more on the list that we didn't get to. We were able to see Aunt Phlyis and some of her gang. We spent time with my gram and gramps, and Gordo's granny who made Chile Verde especially for us. It nearly burned our mouths off but was so good. The best part was visiting with everyone and being together for Christmas. It is good to be home, it was sunny and 50 degrees today. We took the girls minature golfing outside, you can't do that in Utah in January. But it is always bittersweet. I miss you all so much. I wish I could be there to be a part of your daily lives. I hate to see how big my nieces and nephew are getting. They are so cute. These blogs help though, they let me see what you are all up too. But really it was a great holiday and I love you all, even though you are still laughing at my fall. I was just trying to make it a more memorable event. It was planned. Thank you mom for spearheading the activity, it was a great idea. Thanks Jen and Joe for your car, I know it put you out and we truly appreciate it. Thanks Holz and Trav for having us all over. Thanks Dad for the great accomodations and all the great breakfasts, especially the steam bread, it took me back. Thanks Josh and Brit for just being you, and Lance and Amy as well. Thanks Angie for helping us with all the rides. See you again soon, I hope.

Goodbye Utah Goodbye Snow

At the airport, delayed again, traveling in the winter is so fun.

Christmas morning 2008

New Christmas outfits for Mia and Victoria

Stopping Traffic in my new orange PJ's

Alli was pretty excited about her new pink flat iron, yes this is Alli excited.

Mia and Victoria asked for cameras for Christmas. They took pictures all day long.

Christmas Eve at Grandpa Bri's

Josh opening a present

I didn't get a lot of good pictures on Christmas eve, to busy opening presents I guess. Here is one of Halle's backside while she is on her new present from Grandpa Bri.

I know that Jenny will love that I posted this picture. All I wanted for Christmas was for my niece to be born while I was there, but I guess I was naughty this year because I didn't get it, all Jen had was contractions for Christmas, doesn't she look happy.

A shared present of nail decals for Mia and Victoria. They are getting big, but they still get so excited for presents. Victoria asked me every ten minutes for about two hours when are we going to open presents. Their enthusiasm gets contagious.
