53/365 The Hermit

Media_httpmedia365pro_bjxsd

Today I wanted to snap a picture of my oldest daughter in her element. Whenever I think back on Elisa's teenage years, this is exactly the picture that will be forever ingrained on my mind. She lives in her room, on her bed, in front of the computer. I like to think that she is mostly studying, but I know she is chatting with friends and drawing pictures in her sketchbook. She doesn't go out with friends on weekends, she is not a boy chaser, she is just an unsocial child who lives in her room. I know soon she will be spreading her wings and living on her own... but for now, this is my favorite sight to see.

52/365 Remembering my Grandma

Today would have been my grandmother's 89th birthday. She passed away a year and a half ago. I miss her so much. When she first was gone a hole was left inside me. At the advice of a very wise Aunt, I purchased this shelf and filled it with all the amazing things that remind me of her. Whenever I eat dinner, this is on my wall and I feel her spirit there with me when I look at it. She will forever be a part of me in my life. I miss you grandma, Happy Birthday!

Today was a very special day.... It started with Ambriel making me a Valentines card and giving it to me. Then after work I got home to some Salsarita chips and home made guacamole and salsa. My husband had my running clothes all set out for me. Now, we are getting ready for dinner out. I love my husband so much and so grateful that we get to enjoy this Valentines Day together!
