The day before Easter and it has been a real busy day!! I started out shopping (finishing up my basket stuff). I also went to Michael's to use my 30% coupon (off my entire purchase!!), I bought lots of bead stuff and some craft magazines. I also put gas in my daughters car (wow!! $3.02 for gas!!! OUCH!!!). I also this huge purse at Target so I splurged (with some of my bonus) and bought it!!! FUN!!!
I took the girls with me and we went visiting. We had fun time with my Aunt Virgie and Uncle Frank. We also learned some history on the Ruiz family!!! It was very interesting. We also went to my Grandma G's house. We also went to see my Mom. It was a good time to visit and I am so glad I was able to do my visiting done this month!! I also saw Michelle Olguin at Target!! It has been years and it was so good to see her! She is doing great which is wonderful to hear!!

AND...I also bought us Singstar and Guitar Hero. We have been playing these tonight and they are AWESOME!!! We have been laughing and laughing and having a wonderful time together!! They were a wonderful gift to us!!! I so recommend these two games!!!

today was day of multiple errands (and you know how much I HATE errands...yucko!!!). I started early and ended late. I had to do some Valentine's shopping (so many gifts to buy!!), do some grocery shopping, go to the scrapbook store (I found 2 cute mini books...too cute!!!), excersise, mail a Valentine to my secret sister, take Boo to get her hair cut (aaarrrggghhhh) and take my family out to eat! Talk about busy!! I then finished up my mom and grandmothers Valentine's gifts (and one for me...teeehehehehe). AND to top off the day I had some of my QVC packages waiting for me (Wahoo!!!). There was some real fun and cute stuff and I cannot wait to start in on them.
this week plans to be a real busy week! I have to drop off Valentine gifts, make goody bags for my team and celebrate Valentine's Day with my family. Good Times!

good times...today was a wonderful day. it was full of family, God and church. good times. we started the day spending time in church. it was a wonderful time of worship. the Lords presence was felt and welcomed. The message was very good and important to the spirit. Making sure you see God in you at all times as a Christian is very important. Having joy and love in the life of a Christian is so vital and necessary. The message made me think(which is always important when listening to a message) about where I am and where I want/need to be. It about CHANGING!!!! Lot's of meat and I love Sunday morning meat!!! teeeehehehehehe
We also went to our favorite Chinese restaurant (yummy). Later on we went to a youth group fundraiser. It was a great time. They did a great job with the spaghetti dinner and the short play they did was a blessing! The LORD was so wonderful and blessed the group with $1,000.00!! He is truley incredible and AWESOME!!

RECAP of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Christmas Eve found me out and about early in the morning (5:00 a.m.!). I did my Christmas dinner shopping when there were no lines! I then made my way to do some last minute stocking stuffer shopping. I also wanted to make sure I bought my Grandma G and hunny bunny's dad a gift (hint: Go Bronco's!!). With all that finished came home and we started on the house (is it not amazing how messy it can get in a few days!!!). Later that night we went to Chili's for dinner (yummy!!!...there Chocolate Molten Cake is "to die for!!"). We came home and got ready to see the girls first Broadway Show!!! It was "White Christmas". We dressed up and celebrated Christmas Eve at the theater! We then came home and opened our one gift (it is usually 2 but the show was one of their gifts!) and put on our pj's and took pictures! Good Times!! wow!!! Christmas is over! Wow!! It feels like Thanksgiving was yesterday! Where did the time go!! It was a cold and snowy day (but it sure was beautiful!!!). It snowed most of the day and i stressed over our parents and them driving here. *sighy* We went out earlier in the day to give my cousin her Christmas gift and the roads were horrible!!! I must confess it was a "little" fun driving in the snow!! We were all starving so we stopped by 7-11 (the only store opened!!!) and had a soda and nachos!!!! They were yummy and it was fun driving in the yellow cab/van, in the snow, eating nachos, listening to Mariah Carey and being with eachother!!! Good times!!! Later in the day out parents came over and we had a real yummy dinner. It was good to have everyone over (even if i was feeling some holiday blues). We opened gifts later and the girls received lots of clothes and the Grandpa's gave the girls a total of $800.00 cash!!! WOW!!! Grandpa Burgess gave them $300.00 and Grandpa Griego $500.00!!!! EACH!!!!!! It was fun watching them both give their gifts to the girls!!! The girls were thrilled and soooo excited! Grandpa and Grandma then taught us how to play a fun card game and it was so much fun watching then interact (who knew they were so competitive!!!). We will have to try the game again (and hopefully no fist fighting will occur...teeeehehehehe). They made it home safely (we were worried because of the snow and bad roads!! It was a wonderful Christmas and i am so glad the weather did not ruin it (or my blues....). I hope all of you had a wonderful 2 days with lots of incredible memories and tons of pictures!
