This past weekend we finally got started on the house.  We painted our room and made a headboard for the bed.  I am a huge HGTV fan so I got this great idea for a headboard.  And I must say it looks fantastic!!  Of course Ricky did about 80% of the work but it was my idea! haha.  I am so excited at how great the room looks.  It is amazing what paint can do to a room. 

Project #2 is in the works…next up is the bathrooms!  I’m hoping to get the guest bathroom started this weekend. 

I love to do this kind of stuff!!

I can’t believe it is already 2008. 

2007 was good to me.  Here are a few highlights:

1. My children are happy and healthy - that is the most important thing in the world to me!  Watching them grow and learn and form a beautiful bond with each other is the most amazing thing. 

2. Reuniting with my childhood friend Erin who coincidentally lives less than 10 minutes from me!

3. The Spurs won the championship and the Cowboys are in the playoffs. OK, that was for Ricardo - I really don’t care that much anymore!  I know those were highlights for him

4. The odometer on my car hit 100,000.  Not really a highlight - just happened!

5. I took Isabel to her first ballet.  She loves her ballet and “tappin” classes so taking her to a ballet was very special for me. 

Things to look forward to in 2008:

1. Our trip to the Dominican Republic in September.  2 weeks of Carribbean fun!  I can’t wait to take the girls to the beach and am really excited about them meeting thier great grandparents.  Isabel will turn 5 while we are there and she is really looking forward to having a little birthday party on the beach!

2. Fixing up the house.  I can’t wait to get started!  I have HUGE plans!!  HUGE!

3. Trip to the DR……our first real family vacation!

4. Trip to the DR…..our first real family vacation!

OK, I know - a little redundant.  But I am super excited about the trip!!!
