Happy 1st Birthday Lauren!

Lauren turned one yesterday and had her Birthday Party on Saturday. It was a bit of short notice so basically it was our family and a few of our friends. Lauren's birthday theme was Princess Strawberry Shortcake cause I think with her short hair she resembles her a little. We had such a good time from going to Mexico with Gris and Wesley and buying the pinata and candies to actually scrambling to make the candy bags for my nieces and nephews. My Aunt Dora bought her the most beautiful birthday dress and hat, my sisters helped us out enormously and so did our parents. I am so blessed to have three happy and healthy kids. Thank you lord for allowing us to celebrate another one of our kids birthdays.

Chalupa Party....Chalupas to eat and Chalupa to play, lol

My sister's Joanna and Jessica came home early on Friday night which was a wonderful surprise. We decided to stay in and make chalupas to eat and play chalupa. We had so much fun. Usually I don't like to play cause my sisters are VERY loud, lol. It was so funny cause my dad was drunk and after only three cards were called he was already saying "BINGO" and then after every card we would call he would say something dumb like "Oh my god". After a while we didn't even want to take his money cause he wasn't even paying attention. Well before all of this he was the one calling the cards but we noticed that he kept bending over, well he kept dropping the cards....he was cheating! We received some wonderful news also, my little sister Jess is expecting. It was a huge surprise but she looks so happy and she has suffered with her previous relationship. But that's all in the past and we couldn't be happier. Congratulations Jess and JJ we love you guys!

Satellite Office

So we received the news last week. Our office will close and become a satellite office. We will pack up and literally move our office home which I think is great cause I'll spend more time with the kids. The only downside is that we will not receive payment for our work until our company has been paid for the jobs we've completed. I used to get paid like that at my old office and it's not that bad if the work keeps rolling in. The first month will be the hardest since this is the time we have to accumulate our work load. I think in the mean time I will look for a full time job and keep appraising part time. Even at part time it pays very well so I'm gonna keep appraising. Luckily my sister still keeps her job and will also be working from home. Can you imagine how cool that is to just check emails every now and then and have all calls transfered to her cell phone. I'm sure they will reimburse her for that. For now I'm just glad we have something rather than nothing. Don't get me wrong, I'm worried and all....but I'm not gonna dwell. I'm just gonna stay optimistic and keep moving forward. Wish us well.
