Call me crazy, call me nostalgic. But once October comes, I can't help but get excited. Three Holidays back to back, four if I count my birthday. But wait.... I'm not having anymore birthdays. I, in my mind will be immortally 34 forever. Yes, immortal, maybe I am reading to much into those damn Twilight books that have consumed me for the past 6 days. I liked being 34, it was a good age and year for me. It's a good age to mentally stay at. And with that said, I will.

Halloween is the first of these holidays that I love. I only wish that it would be a little cooler, but what can I expect when you live in the "Valley of The Sun". Yes, there is the whole finding costumes, yes the kids eat too much candy, but that is the whole fun of it. This year Nachito decided to be "Iron Man". It was another one of those mother/son bonding moments. I had not really wanted to see Iron Man, but since Buddy does not like to go to the movies, Nachito begged and pleaded with me to take him. What was I going to say? No? Not an option. We left the movies like two eight year old boys, amazed at how great this movie was. Remembering all the excitement and about when Iron Man does this and that. It was great. When we went to the Spirit store, the super hero section is where he ran. Iron Man it was, "Remember mom, it's your favorite movie". How could I break his heart and tell him that I had moved on, that Iron Man had been replaced by about five other movies by now. I didn't and as we paid for his costume he looked up and smiled at me, my very own little Iron Man.

Kassie this year chose to be a fairy, a glittery fairy. Her and McKenna wanted to match. Nana Norma, like always, made her and Mckenna the cutest fairy costumes. It was obvious that she is growing up. She had her friends with her. They walked either a block ahead, a block behind, or completely on the other side. This was it, she was growing up, and there was no stopping it. No longer wanting to be seen with us, she was a big girl now. It was a fun night, lots of laughs, and again, great memories.

Here are pictures of the invitations for Kassie's 13th Birthday party. I had so much fun making them. Hum...maybe because I used my three favorite colors, maybe because I like to make invitations, or maybe it's just because I LOVE to plan parties. Either way, here is a sneak peak. Sorry the pictures are so bad, my camera is dead and I used my phone.

Good things come to those who wait...

I was having one of those bad Mondays. One of those Mondays when everything seems to be going wrong. 1. Our phones at the office are not working. 2. Statements went out over the weekend and angry patients are calling to complain. 3. My coffee got cold and I had to throw it away, and now I have a caffeine headache. 4. My cell phone has been tied up all day because I'm having our calls forwarded to it. (good thing for rollover minutes). 5. My boss has just added two more things to my darker pink "TODO" notebook. And just as I was about to roll up in a ball and hide under my desk, I got this e-mail. Dear Kindle Customer, Today, we introduced Kindle 2, the next generation of our wireless reading device.

Where do I begin???

After a long absence from my blog, I am finally sitting down to post. So much has happened in the past month that I honestly don't know where to begin. December 23, 2009 turned my world upside down. My mom suffered a minor heart attack, and was taken by ambulance to Chandler Regional Hospital. When I arrived, she was in good shape, and she was talking. They ordered a CT Scan of her chest. When she got back to the ER from her test, every thing that could have gone wrong, did. She suffered another heart attack, this one was much worse. She was in-tubated and things were not looking very good for her. The next few days were spent waiting for tests to be run, consulting with Dr.s and praying. A lot of praying. We were finally told that she would need to undergo a quadruple bypass. There was a problem with that, because she was in critical condition. Her kidneys were failing, her blood pressure was to high, as was her blood sugar. And, she was to weak. The surgeon said that we would ...
