I smile because I have a healthy family and I have healthy friends. I am surrounded by love and support constantly. I am thankful everyday for what God has provided us. I love listening to Elijah say his prayers every night as he thanks God for "Everything YOU have given us". We are truly blessed.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Like most every year, I have learned numerous things that have made me into what I feel, is a better Anissa.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I have learned from my mom to not see the glass half empty, but rather half full. (This is SO IMPORTANT TO ME because it is so true and makes your world so much brighter if you try and live by this)<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I have learned from Elijah that I am not chunky, but in his eyes, a young, pretty mom.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I have learned from Cary, that plans are not always needed. Just go with the flow. (Still trying to figure this one out ;))</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">I have learned from myself that I cannot always be perfect and that is okay. I cannot always please everyone, and that is okay too.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">The end of this year has brought sadness to my heart. A couple of my closest friends had loved ones pass away. I felt so much hurt for them and their families. It made me realize the real reaso we are here on this Earth, which is not to take things for granted but live life to the fullest. LIVE AND LOVE.<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">On a lighter note: At dinner one evening, with Cary's parents, we were speaking of honeymoon plans...<br /></span><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Elijah says, " <em>What kind of parents leave their children behind and go on vacation?</em>"</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">After Cary and his parents give the "G" rated explanation of a honeymoon, Elijah insisted on having the whole family join us anyway. Cary's dad was thrilled about the possibility of golf courses at the locations we had in mind. He didn't help at all! LOL!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Needless to say, it looks like both sets of grandparents (parents) and Elijah will be joining Cary and I on our honeymoon after the wedding. We are thrilled, really. <strong>Speechless as a matter of fact! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</strong></span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">This coming year I will marry my best friend, the love of my entire life. I look forward to 2011 like no other year ever before. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Happy New Year to you all! May you be blessed and happy in 2011!</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">Elijah at Christmas 2010</span><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/TR6QMhPEBCI/AAAAAAAAAC8/J3DDwhhflJ0/s1600/SDC13185.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 254px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557037534976148514" border="0" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/TR6QMhPEBCI/AAAAAAAAAC8/J3DDwhhflJ0/s320/SDC13185.JPG" /></a><br /><br />Cary and I at Christmas 2010<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/TR6QkuO6LGI/AAAAAAAAADE/zYEzjSLY_Pc/s1600/SDC13268%2B%25282%2529.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5557037950782024802" border="0" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/TR6QkuO6LGI/AAAAAAAAADE/zYEzjSLY_Pc/s320/SDC13268%2B%25282%2529.JPG" /></a>Anissahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09084998611400689918noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4898417755659802716.post-31641432346486806272010-11-18T13:38:00.001-08:002010-11-18T13:38:36.804-08:00Brain Dump<p class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 19px; ">Time for a brain dump!

Elijah turned 9 years old and I turned well…….. DIRTY 30 of course!!!! Elijah had a wonderful pool party. I took the day off of work and took a few boys to the pool, had cake, pizza and fun in the sun!<br /><br />My birthday was AMAZING! It was my very first party since I had Elijah. He and I are 2 days apart, and we always give him a big bash. This year was my turn! My best friends came for the entire weekend. (Jill, Kristin and Katie) We kicked it off at the piano bar with LOTS of friends and family, I gave </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">Cary</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"> a special dance on stage, as if it was his birthday?! On Saturday Cary and his parents took Shannon, Jill, Kristin and I to the Dodger/Yankee game at Dodger Stadium. We went to the stadium club and had appetizers and drinks. I had a ginormous, beautiful, yummy birthday cake! It was so big I shared with the staff! We ended the night at the Geisha House on Sunset and danced all night! FAB FAB FAB!!! </span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">In July Cary, Elijah, and I went to Havasu with friends. We rented a house with a pool and a slide. We were able to take them out on the boat for a whole day! To this day, Elijah still talks about how much he enjoyed the trip, and so do we!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">This past August, we made the decision to pull Elijah off of his baseball traveling team. Cary and I struggled with the decision for awhile. Looking back at that decision now, I can honestly say that we did make the best decision for HIM. He loves the game, but he had been playing for 3 years straight. It was time for a break and that is just what we did. He will start baseball back up in the spring of 2011.</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">That being said, we have had time to go to the movies, Elijah has had time to ride his skateboard, play video games, visit grandma, etc. He even took up trumpet playing and his first concert is December 1<sup>st</sup>! There is a whole other world out there! We were in a crazy baseball BUBBLE!!!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">Elijah is at a hysterical stage. He says and likes the CRAZIEST things. He asked </span><st1:city><st1:place><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">Cary</span></st1:place></st1:city><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"> if he was proud to be marrying a Mexican woman, and he was serious. He shakes his head in embarrassment when I sing to songs on the radio because he claims I sing the WRONG words, he even talks about pretty girls at school. (SHOOT ME NOW)</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black"> He just started 4<sup>th</sup><span class="apple-converted-space"> </span>grade and he is a very independent, vibrant, giving, loving, and an intelligent boy with a HUGE heart. I don’t say these things JUST because he is MINE, but because he really is wonderful. He is his own person, with his own views, opinions, and sense of fashion (WHICH WE DO NOT agree upon, EVER.) But I love that about him. He has made me see a different side of things. He has made me a better person. GOSH I LOVE HIM and I am SO PROUD of him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;color:black">I am loved, blessed and beyond happy.

I think that I will do my best to keep up with it more. There is so much happening with us, time just flies.<br /><br /><br />Elijah continues to consume my life with baseball. He finished up regular season baseball and is now JUST playing travel baseball.<br /><br />His last tournament was our birthday weekend, and they took first place! He was sooooo excited, and I was VERY proud. He pitched, and played 1st and 3rd. He played a total of 3 games that weekend. He got an amazing basehit up the middle, which grandma was able to see!<br /><br />Here is my little star in between games enjoying a shaved ice<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQcrLVK8YI/AAAAAAAAABw/hOXlr3PcoaI/s1600-h/021.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355937384951902594" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQcrLVK8YI/AAAAAAAAABw/hOXlr3PcoaI/s320/021.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQcrLVK8YI/AAAAAAAAABw/hOXlr3PcoaI/s1600-h/021.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQcrLVK8YI/AAAAAAAAABw/hOXlr3PcoaI/s1600-h/021.JPG"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />A team meeting after their first win<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQdB7mTVBI/AAAAAAAAAB4/_62sR2eP0vc/s1600-h/028.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355937775865779218" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQdB7mTVBI/AAAAAAAAAB4/_62sR2eP0vc/s320/028.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />My Champ on Sunday afte<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQdhS-fehI/AAAAAAAAACA/6Di2BiPbPsQ/s1600-h/084.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5355938314717198866" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_QxHhh3litwo/SlQdhS-fehI/AAAAAAAAACA/6Di2BiPbPsQ/s320/084.JPG" border="0" /></a>r the big win!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Next stop is Texas!
