And the big silver ball has dropped
January 1, 2011
Happy new year!
There is so much to reflect upon for 2010, but also so so so much to look forward to in 2011 and beyond!
This past year my family finally moved into a small apartment of our own and we really saw what it takes to maintain an ‘instant’ family of 4 with just me and darrell calling all the shots. Aizen and Demetri did all their ‘firsts’, from rolling over, to sitting up unsupported, to crawling, standing, walking and now running! They turned 1 this year and got baptized and also got their very first haircuts! My identical suns aren’t babies anymore; now they are rambunctious, curious little toddlers!!
But this year also brought about lots of sadness for we experienced 3 funerals for all three of their remaining great grandmothers which pains my heart so much to know that they will never get to see them grow up with us, but at least they are in our hearts and my memory so I can pass them on to Aizen and demetri when they are old enough.
This year also brought about so much excitement cuz Darrell brought me to hawaii for my first time and proposed with a gorgeous, tiffany lucida engagement diamond, and now we look forward for a year of planning and a potential wedding!
2011 will also, hopefully, bring us our very own house/home of our own ^_^ our lease for this apt if up in april, so we are planning to move into our house of our dreams.
This 2011 also means that I will also be finishing up my very last semester of my undergraduate career..and thus the next chapter of my own life will unfold. Right now, that’s heading towards a job that will pay for our wedding 
I sit here by myself in our empty living room, eyes drooping, watching the New Years Rockin eve on channel 7 with my sweet, beautiful, breathtakingly cute boys sleeping soundly (miraculously) on the other side of this wall, while their dad is hard at work, earning good time-and-a-half-money to support our family. I am so blessed. So, so blessed. G’night 2010-you had some rough edges, but also a glorious, sliver lining.
And to you, 2011 – I’ll see you in the morning.
