A special night
The big 4-0 Anniversary celebration for mom and dad was one of the best yet. I rambled on about not being about to do a big party / banquet but this little gathering of our immediate family (not all with my Sister, her hubby and their son not here) at one of the parents favorite restaurants was perfect. I even talked everyone in to getting a group picture (it was like gathering toddlers with the way the men were trying to skip it). Afterwards we went back to the house and we had a special thing planned with my sister, her hubby and their son FaceTiming in. Lots of tears, it was perfect and exactly what my family is about. Close knit, emotional and heartfelt. That's us.
We served cake and sat around having a good ok' time - the night could not have been better fortwo of the most amazing people on this earth.

40 Years is a Big Deal
Today marks my parents 40th Anniversary. What a milestone. How many people can say that nowadays? Not many.
They met at a Catholic hospital in Pasadena, CA in their early 20's, she found him annoying and he thought he was the cream of the crop :). They fell in love and through ups and downs stuck together. They married, a few years later married. Here they are today, examples of love and overcoming tough times, hardships in life . Good times always outweighed the bad and they shared all this with their kids.
Now five kids, three kid-in-laws and two granddaughters later - they're celebrating this milestone.
I love them. Happy Anniversary to my beautiful parents.

40-year Chocolate Cake
Tomorrow is a special Anniversary for my parents. 40 years. A banquet with all our family together, friends of theirs from decades ago and new friends. That was the ideal plan, not happening. Thanks to this economy, we are having an intimate family dinner and night with just the "kids". The banquet will have to wait until later this year or the 41st.
For the "night in" celebration, my 2 1/2-year-old niece helped me make a chocolate cake that was worthy of a 40 year celebration.
A few splatters here and there, chocolate all over her face, we got it done and tomorrow we'll hope that it's THE cake that makes these two amazing parents of mine feel celebrated.

Just a note...
I've been gone from blog world forever... or so it feels like it. It seems that everyone that comments is pretty much gone too, with the exception of my one dear blog bud. She knows who she is. =)
Anyway, I was telling my sister that I was thinking of stopping... after almost 3 years. She gasped.
This morning I was reminded that I had a review to do for an incredible author, a book that I've been counting down the days for. So the blog will stay up, with or without readers.
I'll post more shortly... maybe tomorrow, but no promises since I seem to turn fickle in cyberland. ;) But who's holding there breath?

Two years of Blogging!
I cannot believe that it's been two years since I stumbled upon the blogging world! Blogging is one of my favorite things to do. I love reading everyone's blogs and sharing about things in my life.
Thank you to all my bloggy friends who come by and read my thoughts.
I've gathered my top 6 post over the past two years; I know 6 is an odd number but I couldn't narrow it down. Re-reading each post below made me laugh and cry all over again!
