Fast forward 2 years. Braces off. Same girl. Pretty much no differences in her apperance and there we were in Vizcaya. My mom. Me. The make up arist and the photographer. It was a beautiful day! It started off rainy but it cleared up. She picked out a typical fifteens dress and off we went to take the typical fifteens pictures. I wasn't "allowed" to take any pictures but I took some anyways.
We had a great time walking around in the garden. Admiring the pretty flowers. So happy to have Spring here already! While we were in the garden, something really funny happened to my sister. She started to move around like a crazy person and she said something was biting her. My mom went to the rescue and it was a BEE!!! A bee bite her in the behind. lol. she says it hurt a lot and at the moment we were all freaking out but now all we could do is laugh about it. It was just too funny!
After we were all done taking the pictures. We were hungry! So we went to On the Borders and had some yummy food. I love spending time with just my mom and sisters. We were missing one of my sisters there with us because she was at home babysitting our little brother. Besides Steph is not very good with pictures and having a group of people watching her. 
On my last post which was last Thursday, I posted on how that night we were going to my little sister's ring ceremony (it was also my cousin Tiffany's Ring cermeony, they go to the same school). Well we went. It was fun. The ring people gave my sister the wrong ring. We didn't realize it till later. We knew it was wrong because it didn't fit any of her fingers but when we started to look at the details. oh boy were they wrong. lol.
The cousins with their rings
And well after a lot of investigation, one my sisters friends called her on Friday afternoon and told her that they found the girl who had her ring. My sister of course was happy to know that she had her ring and that soon it would be in her hands. My sis was very sad the night of the ceremony because she thought she was going to have to wait till forever for them to fix her ring. But thankfully, problem was solved and she can show off her class ring.Here are some picture of that night...

And of course...US showing off our rings! hee hee.
I can not believe that 10 years ago, I was receiving my senior ring in high school. My goodness. And now my little sis, my mini me is getting hers. NOW...is when I feel like I am getting older. After work, I will be heading home to shower and get ready to be there for my sister. Taking a zillion pictures and turning that ring of hers. I can't wait to see it! From what she and my mom told me, its going to be beautiful. And Steph (my sis) told me last night that she wants ME to be the last one to turn it. Yup-I am THAT special to her :)
Sparkpeople Translation: "This reminds us how important it is to not stop dreaming and setting goals to get there. Use the completion of one goal as a foundation for achieving another. Each goal that you complete will make you stronger and more able to move ahead. Building this strong foundation will also help you when you experience a step back. "
Speaking of goals. I had a VERY important goal that was not able to take place in January of this year. It was to start the Masters program at my school. I had a few obstacles in my way but the path is now clear and today I have an appointment with my advisor to register for summer classes. Since I have already done all the enrollment requirements, all I have to do is register. So excited! I do not know many people who love school like I do. After high school, I actually loved going to college. I guess it's because the classes were actually interesting for me. Either way thats my current goal and I will complete it SOON. I have too many dreams/goals waiting on this degree.
Sparkpeople Translation: "So how can a person do us absolutely no good? This is a little off; it’s not that they cannot do us any good; they just cannot repay us for anything we do for them. A couple of examples are a senior citizen struggling to open a door, or a child who appears lost. These individuals cannot repay you if you help them. So, this leaves you two choices – help or ignore. If you ignore, no harm done, you continue on with your life. But if you choose to help, it could make all the difference in the world. Ever been lost or confused and a complete stranger came over and helped you out? Didn’t it make you think highly of the human race, or put a smile on your face? Remember, it only takes a small gesture to make an impact on someone’s life."
This wkend we had our little get together on Friday. On Saturday we stayed in since it rained ALL day. We played some cards with our family. Watched some movies and just hung out. Yesterday we went over my moms for my Tio Pepito's Birthday. He turned 79. We played dominos. Ate some yummy food and then headed home. 
Spring has arrived & so has Friday 
First diaper change from Mommy

To ALL of you!!!!

*In the above picture, We were celebrating Audrina's Babyshower. Monique was about 32 weeks pregnant.
I have to admit married life has been blissful. Everyone always talks about the first year of marriage being tough but its been a breeze. We thank God all the time for truly blessing us.
1-Derek: is really depressed over the fact that he lost another patient. He is refusing to go back to work. They are suing him. He has lost more patients than kept them alive. He is drinking alot. He takes all his things out of Merediths house and moves back to his trailer.
2-Meredith: is trying her best to be there for Derek. He is not being very nice to her. She tells him that all his patients are near death, he is their only hope. But thats doesn't help. He leaves the hospital. The Chief talks to Meredith. He tells her that Derek has her engagement ring and that he doesn't want to be alone. She leaves the hospital to find him moved out of her place and back to the trailer. Derek is drunk. She tells him about the ring. He keeps telling her to go home. He takes the ring out and throws it. He goes back in his tailer and she leaves after he screams at her,"GO HOME!!" :(
3-Richard/ the chief: one word...CRANKY! lol. He is acting like a little kid. He is picking fights with everyone. He is treating Baily very bad. His wife has to come and put him in his place.
4-Baily: is trying to do the best she can but the chief is making it hard for her. She calls the chiefs wife (Adel) and tattles on the chief. lol.
5-Alex: is becoming more independent and caring. He is becoming a GREAT dr. He is showing his love to Izzie. :)
6-Izzie: poor thing. She has cancer. She doesn't tell anyone. She has this special project going called, "patient x" with all the interns. Patient x is her. The interns finally come to terms with the diagnoses for patient x. They tell Izzie, patient x is going to die. Izzie only tells Cristina about her illness.
7-Cristina:nothing interesting.
8-Owen: nothing either. lol. only that he passed out in a cot in the hallway. Cristina came to wake him up and he swung at her. She fell and hurt her arm. He was having a nightmare. She doesn't think anything negative towards him or his dreams.
9-the others....well nothing.
After the horrible things going on with Derek, I am kinda sad on how he is treating Meredith. I hope he snaps out of it OR I hope she does something to make him feel more sure of himself.
SPARKPEOPLE translation: "Has anyone ever told you that you can do anything you want to do? Many people use this to encourage kids to set goals and stick to them, but as we get older we tend to forget this rule for ourselves. It is extremely important to realize that you can do anything you set out to do. Sometimes it takes hard work and extreme dedication, but anything is possible! So, what are you waiting for? Start building a foundation to reach success today!" So true!!!! Make those wishes come true!!!!
Sparkpeople Translation: "Are you in love? Do you wake up in the morning and know that your day is going to be filled with love? This quote reminds us that it is important to truly love what you do. Whether it is a relationship in your personal life or your professional life, love what you do. Of course, there will always be tasks that you don’t necessarily love to complete…but you should love the bigger picture. It is much easier to reach success if you love what you are trying to reach. Think about that. Perhaps you need to revise your goals or refuel your passion…whatever the case, do it today and LOVE it!"
This is so true about everything. Your personal relationships (marriages & friendships), work, tasks, hobbies, etc. When you have everything you work hard to get (in other words everything you love), you will love to be around those people or you will love doing what you are doing. It's that easy and inturn it will make your life much easier as well. So live that life you will LOVE!!!!
