Vince took over taking care of our home. Aria began taking care of herself more and not needing me to do everything for her. These last two and a half years, my people went through it with me. I couldn’t have done it without them and everything they gave to help me. They never complained... Continue Reading →
Look At This Face
This is the face of a little Mexican girl from a dusty tiny town in Nowhere, USA. This is the face of a girl who had no chance in hell of ever getting out of that black hole. This is the face of a girl who had zero examples of what being more could look... Continue Reading →
Dear Aria…
…I love being your Mommy. ❤️
My Apologies Please
Wow! My little blog has been abandoned since September! Please accept my apologies. Last semester was crazy busy in all things work, school, and life. I start school again this week, and it’s looking like I will be just as swamped as last year. The only difference this time is that it will be the... Continue Reading →
Numbers and BIG Things
Me trying to get over the dreaded fatigue, and Aria just being cute. A few weeks ago, I told you about my Mounjaro journey. Well, today I took my 52nd shot. I've been on this medicine for one year! It's been quite the roller coaster. On the downside, I've lost SOOOOO much hair. Then I've... Continue Reading →
Here We Go Again!
It's that time of year again! Your social media feeds get filled with back-to-school pics, traffic gets busier, and everyone's schedules get complicated. We're totally in the mix of it all. This morning Aria and I were actually ready early. Traffic was light. Drop-off was almost too easy. Yup, my kiddo is ready to rock... Continue Reading →
That’s That

Elizabethtown
It’s 1:26am, July 4, 2025. I’m sitting here 4 beers in, watching Elizabethtown. I’ve always loved this movie. It’s a sweet story. The soundtrack is badass. I’ve seen this movie a good 20 times, if not more. I just realized something. The part where Dora takes Drew upstairs to show him pictures of his family,... Continue Reading →
Achievement Attained
I went back and forth with myself on whether or not I wanted to say anything about this. I made a video, then I decided not to post it. Then I decided I could talk about it on my little blog because this is my space where I talk about whatever I want. Haters be... Continue Reading →
Dear Agony
Last week right about this time I was in a state of numbness. I had just wrapped up another semester of grad school. One of my cousins had just passed away. My work has been in a constant shift of uncertainty lately. But through it all, I was still looking forward to seeing another of... Continue Reading →
