My week in Puerto Vallarta!

I have had an amazing week thus far.In Puerto Vallarta.....
I got here wednesday around 4 and my sweet Uncle Julio picked us up...us being my Mama and Little Sis Heaven.....

Ok get this.....11 suitcases for 2 grown women and an 8 year old child......my gosh we were a spectacle to see...we were attaching suitcases to other suitcases and gosh i was feeling crazy!Well we finally got picked up and this nice elderly suitcase carrier man helped us with our ABSURD baggage...THANK YOU!!!!
We gave that man 10 dollars for his services....he totally deserved it...
I finally got to see my Godmothers new salon its called MC Chic Hair Salon. beautiful.and truly.

That day I caught up with my cousin and went to eat Tacos.....finally....they were amazing.

Thursday I woke up a bit late ...by that time my FAVORITE uncle..Tio Chuy picked us up and went to the beach alllllllllll day.Wow.I forget how beautiful and serene the beach is.And how great it is to eat shrimp by the beach......I will talk to everyone soooooon Besos y abrazos a todos!!!

Life is changing...

It is changing and though it is inevitable and change is part of life I find myself missing the simple days of my childhood.I don't know why lately I have felt so sad and I finally understand the concept of feeling a chip on your shoulder and all i can do to calm myself is cry that river that has build so high in my heart that is to its breaking point. Sometimes it's all I can do to keep my heart above water.....screw keep your head over water it feels that all i can keep above water is my heart.I don't understand myself much less those around me and I wish I could.Moments of clarity and lucidity come to my mind and I am able to function like a normal 24 year old woman and then I feel that asphyxiation that I have learned to live with. I greet it like an old enemy that is always present in my life and race myself for the new emotion it will inevitably evoke of me. I am not one for dramatics I am clear, blunt and candid about who I am and what I stand for but lately this immense sadness has enveloped me and I can't shake it.

Welcome 2009 ...goodbye 2008!!!!!

I have been blessed this past year abolutely blessed.

I have a group of amazing people that circle me and make me feel like I can do so much..

My Mama has been a force to be reckoned with and I love her she's my ally and a woman who will always have the most love for me.I will always be the same to her...I am my mothers daughter, after all.

My Dad oh gosh we will always have our differences but I've come to understand that if you love someone all you can do is understand and forgive.

This was Dads birthday at a Mariachi restaurant ...Lord I acted like a fool...a room full of Mexican men that can sing and wear form fitting clothes and I lose my composure...hahaha!

I love my friends!My Best Friends have been the greatest...always supporting my crazy antics and ideas and aspirations....I thank those who came to the art ahow at Division 9....

My bosses came and supported and my best friends and my close friends and I felt so accomplished that day...

it's like everything you've gone through isn't in vain....You can put all that hurt out there and people respond and want to buy your art........... NOW that was awesome!!!

My art history teacher who I adored came...it's funny how I always get these amazing women in my life....never fails it can be an English class (Dr. P!) or my art classes and it always happens I end up with great women!
