past year

It's been awhile since I posted anything , perhaps I thought I had nothing worth while to post.
Most of my stuff ends up on face book and since I only have one main reader here I thought why post it twice.
 Today is New years Eve just less then 12 hours away from a new year!
I thought that I might  reflect on what has happen  this pasted year.
I what comes to memory first is my Uncle Dave passing away this year on Mothers Day. Many of us knew that it was only a matter of time before he was going to leave us, but no ones guess was how.
Andy for the past year had been going over to my uncle house on some what of a daily basis to help my uncle with some personal care needs, in return Andy found a friend someone he could talk to. They became close friends. Two days before Mothers Day ( which is also Dessa Birthday) My Uncle took Andy, Sebastian and Shannon my cousin husband out to the D-backs game for a guys night out, While us girls had a girls evening. A day after late in the even my uncle was taken to Mayo ER. He passed early morning on Mothers day.  He's still watching over his family and us since.

In September we took the kids to San Diego for a Karate tournament and a mini Family vacation.
With the help of family and good friends saving bottles and cans for the kids to recycle the money they saved help go towards the tournament. While there we got to experience a power blackout and many other fun things.
We had fun taking the kids to the beach and playing in the water even though it was icy cold.
The tournament was also a fun experience to see how other states runs The kids took third in most of there events. What a learning experience we had,we hope to go again next year.

Other than these to big events in or life, we have experience a multitude of car issue and some minor health problems mainly me. Our jobs we dealt with many quick changes including transferring to a new building , the department buy out and now we patiently await to see if we got hire on with the new company.
