Christmas in February

 Our family was finally able to get together to exchange Christmas gifts. With trips to Brasil and every day life it took us a minute to be able to meet.

I am happy it finally happened. We love aunt Sarah and tio Amauri’s company. I cooked Brazilian lasagna for dinner and lime mousse for dessert. We exchanged gifts and talked until late. It was a perfect Sunday. 

Welcome February!!!

Last day of January

 Can y'all believe it is ALREADY the last day of the month? I cannot believe January is gone. What happened? Time flew! I confess I haven’t even put our Christmas tree down yet. Hopefully we’ll do it before Valentine’s day!!


Today we took the girls to skate and then we went to Leatherby’s for ice cream.

 February we are ready for you.

Sukiya

Time for sushi. Yum! 

Today we tried a different roll- Jayden, made with crab, spicy tuna tempura shrimp with soy paper, and topped with torched yellowtail, jalapeno, tempura crunchies, cilantro, siracha, tobiko, spicy mayo, and eel sauce. It is delicious! You cannot go wrong with any sushi at Sukiya. It is one of my favorite places to go.

My dear white hair

 The other day I was looking at the mirror and noticed my white hair. It is growing and it is everywhere now. I don't plan to color it. I like them and I am proud of them. They are a sign of where I've been and where I am going.

The other day I was talking to my mother-in-law how I like myself so much more now than when I was younger. Maturity and years of life experience are two good things. 


Elder Robert L. Backman said: “ I look forward to new experiences, new ventures, new horizons, new worlds to conquer. I look forward to new opportunities to grow physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. So many of us are afraid to leave our comfort zones and thus cheat ourselves of some of the greatest adventures of our lives”.

I am looking forward to conquer new worlds and enjoying new adventures.
