Closing out a year is normally filled excitement and anticipation for all of the amazing things that are filling my calendar for that year but as you know- 2020. One major heart break that I had was the cancellation of my trip to Ghana, which really did not close down til about a month before take off. The nature of my choice of word was based on that trip- EXPLORE .  How we explored in 2020: Family walks on every square inch of the San Antonio River- Mission Reach trails.  Daily walks around our apartment complex Potty training-- enough said The ways to stream church services  How to do "camp at church" Sea World and Zoo season passes  Career as a virtual admin and project manager Over all-- not the distant explorations that I was expecting to take, but still explored "home".  Thinking about how I want to frame the next year, really had me perplexed on a word choice. I have not lost hope, I live each day through my almost three year olds eyes. 2020 was not a br...

I don’t lean well. I don't sit well. I don't slow well.  I am a power through girl- things are going to get done, no matter what.  BUT ... this year (2018) has to look a little different. 2018 will bring 32 years for hubs (Jan 7) 9 years of marriage (Jan 9) 30 years of age ( Oct 11) OH YEAH! and a baby no later than January 15th.  While it was hard to swallow not having a natural birth, we have a very breech baby and will be having a c-section on Jan 15th at the latest- you know because babies sometimes don't like being told when their birthdays will be and decide to bust down the water wall. So we shall see when BABY H will join our rankings within the next two weeks.  BECAUSE  of all of this... I have considered a few different words to represent my goal in 2018. The first word that came to mind was slow- again if you know me, or have read any of my blogs = I don' t slow well, I am a get up and go girl. I think that there will ...

2017 : The current year 2007 : The year I graduated from high school Do you see the correlation? 10 Years Ten years have passed since I graduated from Churchill High School. Now it may seem strange that I am writing about my ten year mark when it isn't even ten years to the date yet(May 28th), but what made me think of it was Free Coffee this morning.  Toss Back to High School: My dad would drop me off around 7 am when he had to leave for work (or else I was walking the two miles to and from school for the day). Many of my friends would get dropped off around 7:30 am so they had some time to hang out before their practices or meetings that normally started at 8:00 am ( school bells rung for the day to start at 9:00 am). April was my favorite month for these hang outs to happen because my two close friends, Anna and Sarah, and me would walk to Valero after the Spurs won a playoff game and get free coffee. Our coffee was normally about half normal coffee and half cappu...
