Wow Time Flies!

I can't believe how much time has passed since my last entry! Christmas was great as usual. Sandra, Roy and Luke came until Boxing day and then left.. my first year missing Luke's birthday. They won't be coming for Christmas next year which will be very sad for Luke.. he'll miss the presents but I think and hope, he'll miss the family more. Don't get me wrong.. he'll still get something for Christmas but I for one am not going to waste my money when I don't even get to see the kid open his gifts! And he's starting to get older, gifts aren't that important and he needs to learn that now so he doesn't expect it when he's older.

I'm getting really excited to go on my trip to San Diego with my mom in May. I'm making the plans next weekend. We're going for two weeks and will be going to Disneyland, California Adventure and Universal Studio's. We are going to rent a car for hopefully the whole trip so we'll be able to take mini trips around the San Diego area. I want to get some good shots of the area so that's my motivation as usual.

I'm also planning on a trip to Las Vegas with a friend of mine. I've never been before so I'm really looking forward to that. There are so many free things to do there! And there's lots to with animals so I'm psyched! Plus I recently went into a casino for the first time.. I loved the penny slots!!!

Well I hope everyone is in good health.. till I blog again...

Here are some pictures from Christmas..

And after years of not having my picture taken.. I finally bit the bullet (so to say) and had a friend of mine take this.. I gave it to everyone at Christmas..
