Happy New Year!!! 2010

I rang in the New Year with my parents, brother and my boyfriend at home. It was quiet and relaxed; we had dinner and ate paella, chipotle shrimp, two kinds of salad and wine. We talked a lot over dinner, rang in the New Year and ended the night with a board game. Today I had lunch with some of my gf we were going to go to the movies but it was such lazy day and I still had tons of food at my house so I had them come over for lunch. We talked lots about babies in our families, maternal clocks, weddings and working out, vitamins, cooking and many other things.

2009 was a great year; I am pleased with everything that happened… I learned so much in school this past year and had so many experiences working at the hospital. I traveled with my bf to new places and saw many, many, many awesome concerts. Met new people, found a job, joined a gym and the absolute best thing that happened is that I fell in love with an amazing guy. I am really lucky to have great friends and this summer was the first time that all the girls were together again. I’m really excited and looking forward to see what the New Year will bring for me… and I’m anticipating graduation day.

Alexia turns 2!! ...Wow


Looking for a gift for a two year old proved to be more challenging than I had anticipated. I thought that getting a toy would be easy but the reality is that I didn’t know what she would like or what was suitable for a smart kid. B and I finally ended up getting her some books for reading and some for coloring and it was “a great success”. She loved them and I read them to her several times over. Although not all the family was there (my cousin missed out due to the flu) Alexia is very lucky to have family with her lots of great pressies and yummy home made cake. Happy Birthday Cutie!
