Where do I begin...

Lets see, what can I say? I'm new to blogging but not to writing, I've been writing, stories, journals, letters, etc since I was a kid. But since marriage, adult life, career and kids, all of that got put to the back burner, so I decided maybe I should start it up again...after all like a friend once stated : "It's very Theraputic" ;)

With that said, I guess the best way to start is a year in review of our life! 2009, what can I say about 2009. I turned the big 3-0 (sigh) and personally I think I grew up abit. It wasn't a great year, but it wasn't a bad year either, for me it was the year of lessons. Lost a few relationships of what I considered friends, but I guess you start to realize the people you want in your life and the people who really have no business being in your life, even though for a few, it harder to leave behind, but realized it was probably the best thing...sad thing is, some of them left without a fight so what does that tell you. Ummm, I some how became a baseball fan (Dodger's to be exact) thanks to Hubby, the girls and a few Friends who live and breathe baseball lol. Even named our Boston Terrier we got in March Dodger...lol. I got to reconnect with old friends and distant relatives thanks to good ol' Facebook. Survived our first year in our house...

I'm blessed to have my family and the friends that I do have. Without them I don't know how I would continue on each day. November of 2009 Nando and I had our 10 year wedding anniversary, wow 10 years. We've had our ups and downs but together we got through it and I love him soo much, its forever baby lol. I've learned to appreciate him more and the things he does for his family. He works hard to put the roof over our heads, make sure his 3 girls get what ever we pretty much ask for (which I'm sure is not always a good thing lol, but who's complaining)

Our girls are the best things to ever have happened. Emalee (10 yrs old), is beautiful, bright, smart, creative, independent, helpful, sweet, does her own thing her way and doesn't care what others typically think (sometimes including me sigh) and I'm so anxious to see where her talents will lead her in life. She at times is a bit hard on herself to perfect what ever it is she is doing...whether it be school work/projects, dance, coordinating her daily outfits, you name it and she tries her 150% at it. Always a A average student, I'm soo proud of her and I make sure she knows it on a daily basis!

Little miss Olivia, ohh Olivia (5yrs old), this girl, she is soo full of life, energetic, loud, outgoing, creative, theatrical, umm, loving, sweet, wild, stubborn, head strong, leader of the pack type personality lol. She started kindergarten this past year and loves school , when she is on break she constantly asked when she can go back to school. She's also smart and does very well in school. And may I had probably one of the best cuddlers around hehehe.

Both girls are dedicated to dance. We spend 4 days a week at the dance studio, they take Jazz, Ballet and Tap. Hoping to add probably Hip Hop (for Olivia) and Lyrical (for Emalee) later this year. And on weekends we are always on the go, I don't even know how I manage to stay on top of things. We are definitely the busy bees and social butterflies type of family lol

And before I end this novel of a blog, I just want to thank all my friends, I love each of you, so many of you have been there through thick and thin, through tears and fist, through text/IM vents lol. I seriously have the most awesome friends ever. And I just hope 2010 is a great and blessed year for us all...

Until next time.
