New Year's Resolution!


My New Years Resolution . . . enjoy the little things which means I have to slow down to recognize them, see them, and enjoy them.

This is my nephew Gabriel . . . setting the example.

Friends . . .

This old John Denver song Friends is a song that was adapted a bit for a year of girls camp . . . a long time ago. After having dinner with my childhood friends at PF Changs before the end of the year, it came to mind and I think it is perfect to read along with the pics.





The crew: Not all of us in fact we are missing more then half . . . probably the better looking half but we do pretty well in defending ourselves (Isma, Tania, Rachel, Me, Rocio, Guero, Juan, Keri and Birgitta)

















We have only known each other for 24 years or so. . . we don't look a day over that so we must have met in the hospital as new borns (Kerina, Birgitta and me)



What a friend we have in time Gives us children, makes us wise Tells us what to take or leave behind And the gifts of growing old Are the stories to be told Of the feelings more precious than gold Friends I will remember you, think of you Pray for you And when another day is through I'll still be friends with you (John Denver)






Me very excited and freezing because we were by the door. My siblings minus one (me, Ismael, Tania and Rachel) my all time and eternal Best Friends.







Our excuse for getting together since Juan serves our Nation in Colorado when ever he is in town we call it an occasion to celebrate!
(Rocio, Juan, and Guero)
Guero, Cynthia, Keri and Birgitta cheese it up for the cameras.
Ok so what did I love about this night? There are rare moments in life when you are laughing so hard you feel like you are going to suffocate. This evening was one of them. We represented by being loud Latinos and I know that PF Chang will never seat us in ths middle of the dining room again. We were laughing so loud that the cooks were looking over the glass partition just to see what was going on. These are the kids I hung with, the girls that knew all of my secrets and the boys that never took us to Prom. . . ha ha ha I had to throw that in some how! All though it is not my beef . . .
Anyways this was one of the funnest things I did this winter and I just wanted to share . . . the truth . . . I love dinner with old friends!
