Happy New Year Snuffins

So over the Holidays, I was blessed to spend time around three of my lovely nephews (Leo, Joseph, and Arthur). This holiday season was loaded with so much excitement, there was never an opprotunity to be bored. In fact, I must say, I truely hope that 2009 is not as exciting as 2008. Sean and I attended four weddings. Tom and Amanda in May. This one was exciting because there was a possiblity of evacuation at a moments notice due to wild fire. We were able to drive to Idaho in July for Dan and Becky's wedding. I never thought I would survive that many hours in the car with Sean's mother, but now we get along fairly well. In August we were married at Immaculate Conception in Tres Pinos, my home parish. And on New Years Eve, Sean's sister Genevieve married a lovely gentleman by the name of Vishall (I hope i spelled it correctly). it was a lovely beach wedding in Pismo (about a mile and a half drive from our place). The reception was held at Rosa's Restaurante Itailano (about one city block from our house). Easiest commute ever.

Unfortunately with ever dose of good, there is always a dose of bad. In April, Sean's grandfather Arthur passed away. He was a lovely man, whom I wish I could have gotten the chance to know better. Also my father had to undergo shoulder surgery in December (during my finals week). He is on the road to recovery and hopefully he will be fully recovered in a couple of months. I don't know how much longer i can take the complaining. So cheers to all, as this is my first blog and i have no readers yet. Below are photos of all the lovely nephews durning christmas time.
