Seems like this year has flown by! I don't really know where the year has gone...a lot of really great things have happened and some not so great things.
Let's see...yesterday was Manny's 29th birthday! Happy Birthday baby!! Funny story accompanies his birthday cake. I went to the store to buy candles for cake mix and all that stuff and while I was there I saw the number candles and I decided to get just the two numbers instead of a pack cus a pack only has 24 candles in it...anyway I'm thinking to myself "ok he's 28" so I bought a 2 and an 8...and when I got home I thought to myself "right, he's 28 but he'll BE 29!" Duh! I hate blonde moments like that!! So needless to say I had to make a trip to the store for a number 9 candle! It's ok though...his marble cake turned out yummy (so him and candace tell me, i haven't eaten any) and I also made him some frozen oreo cupcakes.
My dad leaves for his trip tomorrow! The doctor wanted to do surgery this week but my dad said "Nope, I'm going on my trip first!" So off he goes tomorrow morning...He'll be back on the Dec 10th and has his surgery on Dec 12th...send a prayer or ten up for him next Wednesday! Let's pray all the cancer was removed last time and all we'll have to do from now on is the treatment! I will keep everyone posted.
Next Tuesday I will officially be FINISHED with my Associates of Arts and I start "big kid college" in January. I know it may not seem like much to other people but this is something I've been waiting for and if I must say so myself...I'm pretty damn proud of ME! I was a little disappointed last week when I found out I MISSED the deadline for graduation so I won't technically get my diploma until after NEXT semester but it won't affect me transferring. I just won't get my piece of paper. Hey, I've been working on it for 6 years...what's one more semester, right?! ;)
We leave on December 15 to go visit Manny's family in El Paso. We'll be back on the 21st. The girls are so excited to go see Grandma and PoPo!! It's always nice to get away for awhile.
Christmas is sneaking up on us QUICKLY! I'm excited. I just like the feeling of Christmas. We hung up our Christmas lights on the house last week and Manny finished them yesterday...we were two strands short!! It looks so pretty. I'll post some pics soon. I'm taking the girls to Snow in the Park tomorrow evening with a new friend from school and her little girl...and of course Sherie' and Nate!
Well, that's about all that's going on in the Torres World! I hope everyone is doing well.
