Happy New Year..

So it's finally 2009!! It's about time!

Well, I was sooo over w/2008 like long ass time ago. It was a great and difficult year for me..and my fam. But it's a part of life that we go through. I'm not going to do any resolutions this year, but I have goals and the biggest one is to SAVE! Yup. Oh and to get things going again to be on our own.

I haven't been on blogger forever, and I know I can go on and on about everything. But I'd rather not (at least not now) So here's a breakdown of the holidays:

Christmas:
Went to DC for Xmas Eve..did the usual. Had white elephant at tita Teresa and tito Sam's house. I got a little mechanism that counts how many steps and/calories are burned. Cool gift. Then we actually saw my mom on xmas eve. Not something I was excited about, but I did it for the kids. I know it's horrible, I had a grudge, but it's too soon for me that's all.
Xmas day..went to Stockton and had some good ass prime rib and turkey! I gotta upload pics for Oliver and Joce's first turkey! Thanks guys for having us over. It was a lot of fun to be around great friends during the holidays. Then..
Xmas evening..came home kids opened gifts and had to sleep early cause I had work the next day..ugh. But it was fun.

New Years Eve:
Stayed at Lisa's house and just ate, slept, and tried to enjoy the evening. Rachel and Randy along w/ the kids were here to visit from Turkee so that was awesome. Tita Saio actually came over and had dinner at Lisa's house. It's been a while since they came to any family function so it was a big deal. And then did the count down.
New Years Day:
We went to the snow and had the kids play. Gemma had her baby..Kendall Marie (HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! baby) She's so big from the pics I saw. Can't wait to meet her.
The snow was fun, we're planning on going up again in a few weeks. The only thing bad that happened was Leanna lost her boots she got from Joce. Bummer. Oh well, she got to sport em.

That was that...Now it's a new year. There's a lot of changes coming. I know for me, I'm really determined to get things on the road. A new home for us hopefully before the 2010 comes around, but we'll see how much is put aside. And just to be able to enjoy the year.

I hope everyone had a great holiday...
