Costco and Planet Fitness - joined!

 Went to costco yesterday to become a member and to look around, ended up with their chicken which was very good and healthy. My plan is go every time I get paid to start buying one or two items to start packing our pantry and freezer.


Started and joined Planet Fitness for $1 dollar down, $10 a month and no commitment....going to my first gym experience tomorrow - my journey begins.....

Christmas

 We both went down to mom and dad's for christmas, drove down early (9:30 am) and got there within 45 min! Everyone showed up and we had a great family time. Both Mommie and Julissa's sister/her family were there as well. Drove back around 3pm....got a Costco's card and Jaime got gift cards to Allbirds. We also got a great blanket from my sister and got a gift card to Valentina's from my brother and his family.

Mom got a stocking for our kids, they loved it!

 








 

***We also found out that Oscar Ray will be a dad!!!!******

We only got presents for the monkeys, this time around....

President Biden signs the Marriage Equality ACT into LAW!

Created and hosted the 4th qtr Town Hall for the ORG, whew!

 Lots of work, stress and anxiety over the project...but, I think it went off pretty well :)




Buda Trail of Lights

 Went to the trail of lights with Sara/Mitch and Ali and Bo...had a good time and then presented them with gifts, specifically...the charm for Ali. According to Sara, she cried on the way home....not going to lie, I did too when I heard about it.

Congress condifies Marriage Equality

 Had a convo with my boss about this bc of his gay son, but told him- I had mixed feelings about it bc we are still talking about this like it's STILL an issue but grateful our President and the democrats are looking out for gay marriage and interracial marriages as well....which strikes me as odd, for those Republicans who voted against it- aren't some gay, know of gay folks, know of gay couples and are in interracial couples/spouses themselves? - SMH

Historic Day in Congress - new speaker of the house

 Hakeem Jeffries - first black man to hold that position and the rest of his team are just as diverse!

Thanksgiving

 We both went down to mom and dad's...Bill and his family were there, so was hannah. Rachel and Anissa were there but Herb was in Ohio visiting his grandchild and mom.


We all ate and had Mia's banana pudding which was actually really good. Bill made us a fried turkey and we thought it was an overall smooth visit.


No traffic going there and back, made it within an hour each way and we listened to 70's music as James sang all the way back, lol


Very nice visit with the family.....he kept calling mom and dad, "mom and dad", so cute

Mid-Term Elections

 Beto lost....but not a big red wave like everyone predicted....we still have to see what the results are and how we can take back America in two years, when we all vote for the next president!

 BTW, James now has the ability to vote, but he had so much anxiety, he did not vote :(

 Went up to Denton for Carmen's mom memorial (Gloria), who died last week. I spent the night at Amber's and hung out with her and Naomi, whom I haven't seen since 2000!

Had to buy a new battery while there- $250, ugh

Took photos at the party and met tons of people, also brought crazy wings from George's for Carmen and Ellen and they loved it!

There were tears, laughter and shared stories....lots of fun but we left the party around 1:30am!!!! whew
