Let me see where to begin... 2010 was a pretty good year - plenty of laughs, love, happiness, family and friends and a few tears here and there.
We started 2010 with a bang! It was a great party with our family and our friends and at the end of it @12:05 am to be exact, I went home to sleep off my tequila binging... it was all in good fun with our friend's dad. He thought he could beat me! Ha! I showed him but I did have to break up with Tequila.. I woke up with the worst hangover :( but despite that I had a blast saying goodbye to 2009 and welcoming 2010.
Our family trip to San Antonio in January was awesome! It was great to have a nice mini-vacation with just our kids. The kids had a blast and even though we didn't get to do everything we wanted, we still had a great time spending time with one another and doing those few things together. We tried some cool restaurants and brought home a giant Cinnamon Roll to enjoy :) I think we should do it again in 2011!
In May, I lost my cousin Erica...she was going to be 16 a week or two before she passed. It was very sad and no matter how long she was sick and always expecting her to pass sooner than she did, no one was ready to say good-bye or let go. Seeing my uncle and her mom just tore me up inside. My heart goes out to them and I pray that this holiday won't be too sad for them, even though I know that losing your daughter and not having her there when you're supposed to be with your kids, is going to be tough.
Our Summer vacation to Arkansas was pretty awesome. It wasn't a long vacation but it was nice to go out of state and somewhere completely new. I loved it! The scenery on our way there, was just so beautiful and amazing. We did have a few bad experiences at some of the restaurants there, but we didn't let that ruin our trip. Hopefully in 2011 we can all take a trip down to the beach...Galveston or South Padre would be a good start :)
I turned 30 this year, and I have to say it's not as scary as you think it is... Being 30 has been really awesome so far. Yes I'm older, but I don't feel any different and I don't look that much older, so it's not too bad. Celebrating that big day was alot of fun. I even had my mom come over. I still don't speak to her very much or hardly at all - yes, sometimes I miss her, but other times, I'm like well she's not making any effort so why should I... I hoped that having her over for my birthday would open a door for us but apparently it didn't do very much for our relationship. It's so weird how things change like that and there's not much you can really do. I mean I could go and consistently try and speak with her, but I can't seem to find the time - I have a husband and kids that need that energy. Maybe one day we'll become close again, I just don't see it happening anytime soon.
My Lyssa danced with a boy for the very first time this year at her first school dance. She's only in 4th grade! When she told me that she danced with a boy, I cried a little bit...my baby girl is just getting so much older and is growing up at a pace that I'm not ready for or looking forward to. But I have to suck it up and go with it you know? She'll be 10 in March of this coming year and I just can't believe it! How time flies :(
My Tommy played tackle football this year...and oh my what a struggle it was. He was so excited at first but when he got hurt for the first time he wanted to quit...I couldn't let that happen. He needs to complete his commitment that he had made to his team! He played both offense and defense and at the end he did really good. He really loves football more now than he ever has! He wants to be a receiver next year so he practices just about everyday with catching passes... I told him that to be good he has to practice all the time so he can become great at it!
This year Tomas and I celebrated our 10th year anniversary. We didn't do anything big but I did get an iphone 4 and he got the iphone 3GS - woop woop! :) We went to the Cowboys football game and went out for dinner and a movie the night before...I just had a really good time with my hubby. 10 years can be considered a long time but to us it's only the beginning :) and we can't wait to make it to our 20th! Woop Woop!
Christmas was awesome! We're working on completing our back room into a game room - a REAL one this time...I think we're going to put in a new TV back there first along with some bar stool and or pub style table :) It's going to be so awesome! Hopefully we'll be able to complete it within a couple of months if money permits (cross your fingers)!
What I hope for 2011 is well the same as I wish for every year but bigger than the last... Lots more love, happiness, laughter, and especially more time to spend with our friends, our families and with each other...Can't wait!
