“Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans.” (Allen Saunders)
(a thought, maybe this is my version of the christmas card where you write the letter telling everyone what has been going on in your life, the one you are so excited to get & read...your cue --> to just smile & read on...)
...so 2014 what did you throw at us...well we took lots & lots of pictures (which if you know me i was not so thrilled about) but ohh the memories i will have...i witnessed dear friends & family tying the knot, which i love weddings so i could not be happier to celebrate them....i also traveled to wild & wonderful west virginia (be very jealous); not once but TWICE that was where one wedding happened & i also got to see my sister get honored b/c lets face it she rocks (she is my sister after all) and then i watched my brothers open a 2nd restaurant (shameless plug for business here is there facebook page; HangOverEasy, Cincinnati if you be so kind to like it, i would be much obliged ;) , i could not be more proud of them...i know they will do well & will continue to make moves (again i am their sister after all)...i also attended my first one direction concert & let me tell you the only thing that kept me sane was the fact that my nieces were on cloud 9...otherwise let me just say 1 bajillion screaming girls, teenagers, & women (yes, i said grown women) all at once, got the mental picture, not enough tylenol in the world...nah, it wasn't all that bad, but word of advice ear plugs...we did quite a bit of celebrating, my niece sabene, turned 1, & francesca turned 4, & the other ones (remember i am blessed to be aunt 8.5 times) turned 7, 11, 9, 5, lots of parties, lots of celebrating life...ohh & we celebrated the end of me being single, it was quite the party, there were scarves, pianos, colorful drinks, and lots of stories (PG people) and of course pictures...& to finish the year, i decided to get myself hitched...NOW that was fun, so much fun that it flew by so fast that i am having a hard time remembering all the events that occurred throughout the day (mental note & word of advice, if i do it again; which i am pretty happy with what i got, so most likely will not, i will be taking pictures myself throughout the day so as to relive it instantaneously)...in all reality, it was one of the greatest days of my life, a day where i walked down the aisle to stand next to my best friend & pledge our love, our life, in front of our family & friends under the eyes of God...from the ceremony to the party i could not have asked for a better day, it was my fairy-tale come true, i was a princess for the day...and all those people, people who have touched our lives that came to be a part of the celebration & TRULY made it what it was, my heart will forever be blessed & will FOREVER hold that memory of november 8th...so how do you finish a year after that -- you buy a house, get a new car & have a baby! --> made you look/read; not at the moment for any of those... :) (deep breaths people, i am so glad only 4 people actually read this otherwise i would be getting some phone calls)...we take it one day at a time, we celebrate holidays as a new family with new traditions, we go on weekend trips, we continue to figure us out, we live...
...so long 2014, you were GREAT, thank you for the memories...can't wait to see what 2015 has in store for us...
...wishing you & your families a very blessed & safe 2015...CHEERS!
