We just got back from 5 glorious days in Vegas. Tatiana attended The Pulse http://www.thepulseontour.com/ for the second year in a row and she had, in her words, "An amazing time!!" Mia Michaels class was her favorite and she didn't want it to end. Such a cool dance they learned from her! Her other teachers were Dave Scott, Cris Judd, Tyce Diorio, Laurie Ann Gibson, and Shane Sparks. Amazing talent and an amazing time! We ran into people at The Pulse we hadn't seen in years, it was great. We also got to spend time with friends that recently moved to Vegas, do the Vegas tourist stuff, hang out with Tat's dance teachers, shop at the gazillion shops in Vegas, and eat lots of really unhealthy delicious food! A fun time was had by all!

Yes We Did!!!!

There are no words to describe what an incredible feeling it is to have the Obama's as our next First Family. Inspirational, life changing, history making, I could go on. Tears flowed all night for so many reasons. Here's to our future and to America's new beginning! Yes We Did!!!!

Today is the Day! Get out and VOTE!!

Today is the day history will be made! Make your voice heard if you haven't already. Vote, Vote, Vote. America is forever changed because of this election. Let us never forget what we can all achieve.

Happy Halloween!

Okay I just had to share this adorable pic of our great niece Janessa. How cute is she!?! Jamie and I spent Halloween on our front porch with Miss Corinne and all of the various neighbors passing out candy. Our house was decked out and we had so much fun checking out all of the costumes. Tatiana went trick or treating with her friends and went to a sleepover. I have no pictures. Sadness. The funny thing is she came home this morning and said, "that is the last time I will go trick or treating, it was so awkward because people kept asking how old I was." She said they didn't believe her when she said 14. Funny! Hope you all had fun!

Making Strides Against Breast Cancer........

Tatiana just finished the Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk at Balboa Park. Jamie dropped her off at the high school early this morning so she could participate with a group from her school. She told us she wanted to do the walk for her Aunt Lori. She just called from the park and said the walk was great! I will add pictures from the walk later. Lori and Dani are you ready for next month!? 3 day, wow!!!!! Let's all pray for a cure and let's make it soon!!!

Canterbury Gardens...Beautiful!

Okay we both couldn't resist getting this! How funny...Obamaccino! =)
Today turned into such a fun day. =) Angela and I rarely get to spend time together anymore unless it has to do with this mess of a lawsuit we are in with Otay Water the City et al. So ironic considering we used to see each other every single day in our adorable store that we used to have. Today we both took the day off for more hearings but ended up not having to go at the last minute. Yeah! So instead we spent the day together just like old times. We went to Broken Yolk for breakfast...mmmm, then off to beautiful Canterbury Gardens and Gifts in Escondido. We were in heaven looking at all of the wonderful decorations for the holidays. If you have never been you must make the trip. What a great store full of wonderful items and friendly people. Such fun! After that we went to Plaza Bonita so Angela could finish her class reunion shopping and we ran in to two of our favorite customers from our old store. Bittersweet but wonderful none the less. Lots of hugs and a few tears. They said it was so nice to see the two of us together. =) I have to agree! What a great friend I have and one day hopefully a business partner again. So here's to today (it was much needed) and all that the future holds as well!

Army of Women.....

Ever wonder how you can help the fight against breast cancer? Well now we all can. Please go to http://www.armyofwomen.org/ and sign up to help with ongoing research to find a cure for breast cancer. As most of you know this one hits close to home for me because my wonderful Sister had breast cancer, was cured, and now has metastatic breast cancer. She is doing great thank God! We all know and love someone who has had or has breast cancer...let's all find a cure together!

Debate Day.....what is there to debate?

Really, is there still a question? Why? How can anyone at this point in time truly vote for a ticket that has possibly the most inexperienced VP choice in history. Please. Could she truly step in as President..better yet would you want her to? America is in a downward spiral and there is only one way out...Obama.
