My 2013 Christmas Vacation

As you all my know I've been bragging about posting my vacations pics and well finally now is the time.  So sit down and enjoy.  These pics were all taken in Puerto Rico where we shared with our families and friends, and also did some sight seeing.  Oh how I wish I could go back again, I just love my beautiful island.

My cousins and my sister on Christmas Eve


During Christmas Eve we had dinner at my Godmother's and then went dancing at one of my mom's neighbor's house.  They had it going there with salsa, merengue and bachata.

My bff on her baby shower

This woman is truly an inspiration for me.  She had two miscarriages, they had to take one of our fallopian tubes and God gave her the opportunity of becoming a mother with just one fallopian.  Miracles do happen.  And I'm blessed to be the God Mother of Zoe del Mar!

 My Daddy

This man is my protector, my guide, my everything.  My dad was my first love.  Seeing him the way he loves and devotes himself to my mother made me want to look for the perfect man in my eyes.

The hubs, my brother-in-law & mother-in-law

My amazing mamacita, the hubs & I

This little lady here has been my inspiration.  I always said I wanted to be exactly like her.  And at a certain point I think I am.  We love helping others, we give advices (sometimes we might be harsh giving advices but I prefer to be bold than to say something I don't mean).  She's 64 years old and still looks like her 50's; now you know why I definitely want to be just like her.

I love this picture

Crying cause I didn't want to leave her and dad

Project Life - Week 2

Week 2 - January 6, 2014 - January 12, 2014

This past week was my last week in Puerto Rico.  Like I said on my last Project Life Post our flight got cancelled and we had the blessing to spend one more week with our family. We got the opportunity to stay at home and watch movies, we went to El Morro (details will be posted later on in another post; we also had to say good bye to my parents.  This was the hardest part; I hate goodbyes especially when it involves my parents.  I’m the biggest cry baby ever known.  We also finally reunited with our fur baby Knela.  She was so excited to see us and I have to admit she slept by my side lol.  I have to give a special thanks to my cousin Jossie, she took great care of her.

Well I hope you enjoy my short post.  I will be downloading, editing and posting our vacations pictures soon.

Saying Good Bye

Last Friday (November 16, 2012) I gathered my nearest friends since Elementary School at "Tano's Chinchorro" >> which by the way it's a cool spot to hang around if your near Las Piedras, Puerto Rico.  Anyway, the people in these pictures have been and will always be in my life since 4th Grade.  This is just part of my farewell parties... More pictures to come soon!


A friend is one who knows you and loves you just the same. 


These two girls have been there since a lifetime. 


A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
 

Who ever said you can't have a true friendship with the opposite sex is so wrong. Here's my best friend, my confident, my advisor, the man that has never failed our friendship.  A single rose can be my garden... a single friend, my world.
The hardest part of any friendship is when it's time to say goodbye. As much as we might like things to stay the same, change is an inevitable part of life. The universe may seem huge and the rift between friends on opposite side of the world may seem a great distance. There are many tools available with which we can communicate, but even without these tools there is a secret that only real friends know, and it is this. All the mountains and valleys in the world cannot separate friends whose hearts are as one.

Puerto Rico My Isla Bonita

I only have approximately one more month in my beautiful island and with my family before I begin my journey as a married woman and join the so called military life, which don't get me wrong I'm very proud of all the soldiers specially my husband, my sexy man.  But it's kind of scary as well, anyway, coming back to the topic for all of you that has never visited the small little island of Puerto Rico I want to show you how beautiful, peaceful and exciting it can be to come visit us. 

Castillo San Felipe del Morro (El Morro)




El Morro (“The Promontory”) is perhaps the most famous historic structure in Puerto Rico. Begun in 1539, the mighty fortress was built on a narrow point overlooking the San Juan Bay and the Atlantic Ocean. It would prove a formidable stronghold, successfully repelling every naval attack on the city. In fact, El Morro fell only once, in 1598, to a land assault by British soldiers under the command of the Earl of Cumberland. Today, El Morro and its sister fort, Castillo San Cristóbal, are National Historic Sites and the oldest European constructions in the U.S. National Park Service. You can visit the venerable fort, walk among its ramparts, explore its dungeons, and imagine, for an instance, the rigors of colonial life in the 16th century.
Castillo Serrallés


Castillo Serrallés, in Ponce, was the one-time home of the Don Q rum family. A magnificent example of the opulence and lavish lifestyle of turn-of-the-century aristocracy in the south of Puerto Rico, Castillo Serrallés is today a lovingly restored museum and showcase.
La Cueva del Indio


Yeah this is me on the top where I had the most amazing experience and the most beautiful view!


La Cueva del Indio is said to contain the largest number of petroglyphs found along the coastal zone.
El Yunque


It's pretty cold yet good place to visit.


So there you go and this is just a few things I've included because there are so many other amazing places to visit in Puerto Rico.  So if you ever have a chance take a trip and you'll be amazed.
