30th Birthday yo!!

So, today I turned 30!!

Woop woop!! A new century has begun for me and this is going to be the best one yet. I can feel it in my bones. Everything is going so good for us right now. I have had an absoultely amazing birthday this year. So, last night, Iris, David and his family threw me a big birthday bash. There was tons of food, a lot of his family came, including uncles, cousins, his Mom and Dad, of course, his sisters, his nephew and his girlfriend and her daughter, and some of our friends. We had an awesome time. The only way it could've been better is if all of you guys could've been there to celebrate with us. It made me sad to think about that. I miss you guys so much. I invited Dad, but he wasn't able to come. One of Margie's relatives was just diagnosed with Breast Cancer and all her family was in town because she had to have a mascetomy. =( I understood.

David's Mom and Aunt are amazing cooks and cooked sooo much food. There was chile con carne, spanish rice and beans, chile con queso and chips, salad, green beans, I don't really remember what all there was to be honest but it was all amazing. I was amazed at how many people showed up. A lot of David's uncles and aunts and cousins came, most of which I have only met once, and they all came to celebrate with us even though they don't really know me that well......yet. It was really just an amazing feeling. Everyone talked and laughed, and danced. We even had a pinata that was so fun. David and our friend Cristina got on the roof and held one side of the cable and his nephew, J., held the other side of the rope and were swinging it around all crazy!! I was first to go and at one point, they knocked me down with it!! I came back up swinging though. In my defense, it WAS a really big pinata! It was almost as tall as Iris.

So that was my birthday party. On my actual birthday since Dad and Margie weren't able to come to my party, they took David, Iris and me out to lunch for my birthday. He let me choose and I chose the Greenery, it's one of my favorite restaurants. Here is a picture of Iris and I at the Greenery.

So, after lunch we met some friends at the bowling alley and bowled a couple of games, that was also a blast. My arm still hurts. I won 2 out of 3 games, YAY!! Then we were going to go to music under the stars but we decided we were too beat and just stayed home and watched a movie. 10,000 BC. It was alright. It was good, I guess.

I hope everyone's doing good. I miss you and I love you.

Ok, ok!! Here are the pictures of our new house that everyone's been asking about!! Tee hee...

Well, I am going to try my hardest to do this blogging thing but, anybody that knows me also knows that I may or may not keep it up. I promise to give it my all though... So, we just moved back to El Paso, Tx and I am soooo happy!! I love my new place, it's so cute! I just started work again on Monday after being on vacation for 2 1/2 weeks (waaaaaa) and my new store is really, really nice. I seem to have great employees who have worked there for a while and the few I have already met seem really great. My store is in really great shape and doing amazing in sales. YAY!! I had a Manager's meeting yesterday and met my new boss for the first time as well as all the other Store Managers in my district and they all seem really nice. I felt like I fit right in. The only thing I don't like about it is the 30 minute drive it takes me to get there, but if that is my only complaint, I feel like I'm golden.

I cannot begin to explain how amazing it has been to be here with David and his family. They are honestly some of the most amazing people anyone would be blessed to have met and have helped us out sooo much. I love them all and I feel right at home and always have. I can't stress enough how absolutely amazing it is to finally have someone beside me in this lifetime, because I was about to give up hope. David is one of the best things that has ever happened to me, as well as Iris, of course, and I couldn't be happier.

I hope everyone enjoyed the pics of the new place, I really love it, it's just so cute and quaint. I can't wait till you all come to visit!! YAY!!

On Sunday, Father's Day, we went to see David's Dad and hang out there for a few hours and ate and had a great time. Then we drove all the way over to the East side to see my Dad which was really nice, because I haven't seen him on Father's Day in years. We just sat and talked for hours and had a really good time.

This Sunday I will be thirty!!! The big 30. I can't wait. Hopefully David and Iris have something planned...
