Catching Up

I was going to do a post to catch up and decided to only include a few major events and then move on to the present! I deckared the year 2012 The Year of Organization, in both my personal and professional life! I work hard, I play hard and now realize that I need to actually schedule my life accordingly. That thought makes me feel old and boring, but hey, if it means accomplishing what I need and want to do, so be it! The big even last year was the wedding of my youngest daughter, Adrian, to a wonderful man. The wedding was a big affair and I pinched pennies for a year to give her the wedding she wanted. Success, if I do say so myself!

Wasn't she a beautiful bride?

A handsome couple if I ever saw one! My mom was diagnosed with cancer before the wedding and struggled to live long enough to see Adrain get married. She died a few short months later. RIP, Mom... We spent a considerable amount of time in Denver, watching our beautiful grand daughters grow up and fall more in love with their little girl personalities everytime we see them. Recently, we celebrated Ayla's 7th birthday and went all out, as usual, with an Angry Bird Party. Tabetha and I laugh hysterically every year making cakes for the two and this year was no different. The end result was perfect, in our most humble opinions, anyway, LOL

Party was complete with giat slingshot to knock down the walls hiding those pesky pigs, a pinata, and my fun loving son in law finished the day with the kids shooting soda rockets high into the air.

I have been slowly but surely organizing my house. Purging, cleaning, and consolidating. Our nex move is a short year away and I need to pare down. My loving husband has made me the sewing center of my dreams and I know this has added unneeded weight to our belongings so I will continue to purge and bring our household weight down to a manageable amount. But, oh my, isn't this worth it?

Yep, yep. Better and more pictures to follow! I will close for now with the promise to update frequently.
