December 2015

Well its the end of the year :( but as you can see by all my post i've had a very eventful year :) I believe next year will be enjoyable as well and life changing :) We shall see what the future holds :) 
Its the beginning of the month and its this Angels birthday :) she's 21 years old on 12/1/15 :) but, we are not going to party like we are rock stars when she comes home for christmas #wedidntgettoseeherforthanksgiving:S because yes she is pregnant :) go ahead and be in shock cause I think I still am :S its something that I am still trying to process :S not only did my brother have a kid already my niece is about to have one too :S still in disbelief :S but like it or not I have to get ready because the new bundle of joy will be here in March :) 
 12/1/15 my thoughts are with my niece as she is celebrating away from home but also with my cousins in Arizona :) My cousins 2nd bundle of joy is coming today :) #prayers #theyshareabdaynow:)

This month has been extremely eventful and Santa came to visit us early this year :) I've been a really good girl :) he replaced my washer & dryer, which was much needed :S its been a hassle to wash close in my house :S So we SO took advantage of the black friday deals and were able to replace ours :) washing is no longer a headache, its SO easy and actually enjoyable now :) Brandon has been a good boy too :) he's totally on this health kick which is fine with me :) So, he bout himself a treadmill :) I was in shock :S but he got a really good deal :)

new Samsung washer & dryer #bargain:) 
his new baby :) Our garage is a full on gym now :) No excuses :)
he got a hell of a deal on this too :)

Im still on my workout grind and came up with a few new years resolutions :) I gave up coffee 2 years ago cold turkey, I drink hot chocolate now to warm me up on these cold mornings :) its been really COLD we went from extreme heat to freezing temperatures in California.  No real fall weather.  I am also going to limit my carb intake and try to reduce my rice intake which will be hard since I am cuban and rice goes with a lot of meals :S No more soda for this girls either :) I don't drink to much soda anyways I usually opt for lemonade or water when I am out and about so this shouldn't be too hard.  The workout accountability group is doing ok.  i still post stuff and keep myself accountable for my workouts :) I just wish everyone else would do the same :S If you want to join the group let me know  :) its a free workout support group where you just have to hold yourself accountable for your workouts ;) 
Santa thought we are the best people ever cause he surprised us completely :) on Friday 12/4/2015 Brandon called and informed me that he was trying to buy us plane tickets to Oakland cause his work friends have a suite and invited us to go to the game :) but of course trying to get last minute plane tickets was not happening :S and we had to many things going on Saturday :S We had a very important appointment to go to and Saturday evening and I was hosting a holiday party with some very important ladies :) So, we had to buckle down and do that 6 hour drive :S it does not compare to the bus trip last month :) that was well worth it :) the drive was no fun :S but we did it :) all for the love of the game and being a true fan :) 3x this year we attended a game :) incredible :) His friends had GREAT tickets :) we had VIP access to everything :) we got there around 10:30am cause we left at the butt crack of dawn :) he drove there :) we tailgated for a while then headed in :) I was in AWE...it was all amazing :) they have remodeled the coliseum a little bit since the last tine we had a suite 8 years ago :) the suite area was plush :) I loved not having to wait in a line to use the restroom and they had TVs and bars everywhere :) it was off the chain and well worth the drive :S So glad we buckled down and did it :) 
Then we had to drive home after the game :S it was a BITCH but worth it :) I drove most of the way back :) my anxiety kills me especially about having to drive at night :S but self talk was SO helpful and I did it :) we got home safely :) We didn't get home until about 12:30 and B had to be at work at 6am and I had a medical appointment at 1:30.  So we rested :) thankfully he can operate on little to no sleep but i'm a different story :S I need my rest :) So after my medical procedure that was supposably not a big deal we had a lazy evening at home :) I SO needed it and deserved it after all I had to endure this weekend  :) overall it was a great weekend :) B kept on telling me this is a glimpse into our future :) which I can see and dig :) it was an awesome experience :) the drive not at all but it is a doable drive and if you have a heart like we do for the game you would do it too :)
 Brandons co-worker my new friends :) #awesomepeople:) to bad we lost the game :( but it was a GREAT experience :)

Suite view :) we enjoyed the game from up here in the suite :) I can see myself doing this more often in the future :)
Then we had another surprise in the middle of the month :) we have been really good people :) It was Brandons BFFSs birthday and she wanted to go to a Clipper game :) So, we went to a clipper game :) Spent the evening at LA live and then had premier access into the game :) it was plush as well :) We enjoyed it so much we decided we are going back on 1/2/2016 for sure :) we are planning to make a day out of it :) it was also a GREAT experience :) We are ending the year on such a high :) I see this carrying over to next year :) we can only go up from here :)
We enjoyed the clipper game with these fabulous people :)

Then we went to the disney on ice show :) We had a BLAST :) Then I got a little nifty and decided to be crafty with the kids.  So we made Christmas tree brownies which they did a good job decorating :) Then we had this gingerbread house that was a complete mess :S So I had to opt to just give the kids pieces of the gingerbread and to go at it :) We also made reindeer lollipops :) they are cute and simple :) gotta love pinterest :)

We had a fabulous christmas :) I hope everyone else did to :) Then the day after christmas B had a work function to attend :) it was his works holiday party at IPIC theaters is Pasadena :) this is the 2nd time we have gone to the movies here :) since the first time we went to the movies here we haven't gone back to a regular theater.  You can't after going here and spoiling yourself :) RF10 is the company he is working with and they are SO legit :) We saw Star Wars and it was a good movie :) I'm not a big star wars fan :S but it was still ok :) GREAT way to have a holiday party :) this theater is plush :) I haven't gone back to a regular theater yet but with all my xmas gift cards to the movies and having to see Creed like the rest of the word I have to go back to a regular theater, which is fine :)
IPIC theaters=Date Night/ Work function :)

Ita the end of the month, so end of the year, and I feel fine :) I didn't really have new years resolutions last year, which is fine :) All year i just continued to work on myself, keep the house up and stay active :) So, overall I've accomplished my goals :) I have the same new years resolutions/goals for next year.  No more soda, limiting my carb intake, continuing to work on myself, stay active and keep the house up :) So not to hard at all :) We had a FABULOUS new years :) Enjoyed the night and brought in 2016 at the Burrell House :) Enjoyed a few games and GREAT company.  Overall, it has been a GREAT year no complaints :) Goodbye 2015 you were good to use :) Hello 2016 we await and embrace all you have to offer :)

Happy New Year everyone :)
