IRIS & FAMILY

With recently added Marcus we are now a happy family of five! Damian and Amaye are very good siblings with their own very unique personalities. Damian is very imaginative and he expresses it through his stories, both written and verbal. Amaye is an actress in the works. She quite often becomes the center of attention with her antics.

A purple wedding dress for the wedding?

Okay so Ray and I have decided to tie the knot. We are getting married on June 21st of this year, so it is just around the corner. I've done very good at planning the whole thing with a lot of help from family. As I was looking at dresses I fell in love with this deep purple dress that just stuck out like a sore thumb. I toyed with the idea of buying it to wear and even mentioned it to several people. Their reaction was priceless. I'm really having fun with it all. You are probably wondering why we waited so long. We were never ready at the same time. Now, we are very happy with each other. We have both matured together and learned that we want to spend the rest of our lives together. He is the yin to my yang. Yes, cliche but true. We are very different from each other, but I love him dearly!

Thanks Janice! Here you go...

What I was doing 10 years ago: I was in my second semester at USC trying to figure out life and had to leave early for the semester as both my mother and father fell ill. My mother had found out she may have cancer (later to find out it wasn't malignant, thank God!) and my father had had a minor heart attack. A crazy school year that ended just the same. Wow, I hadn't thought about that for a while!

5 things on my to do list today:
1) Complete all the preparations for my wedding (this has its own long list of its own). Yes you read correctly! Ray an I finally decided to tie the knot. After 9 years and three kids we thought it was about time! LOL!!
2) We have been procrastinating doing a will also.
3) Sign up the kids for Summer Schools programs. (If you don't start early around here you get left behind.)
4) Lose weight! Okay I have been working on it by taking walks and eating right but it is time to step it up!
5) Organize my filing cabinet! scary! I'm just not sure how to file everything. It is half-hazardly filed but not where I can easily say, "Honey, just look under ___ tab."

I enjoy: A) Coffee, which, since I am still breastfeeding Marcus I am not drinking. I happily give it up for him. I do have to admit though that I regularly walk by the Starbucks below my work and take in deep breaths! B) Playing with my kids. What can I say they are just soooo much fun!

Things I would do if I were a billionaire. I would make sure mykids were set up for college of course. Buy a house and then sneakily help out my family so that they wouldn't know it was me. I would hate for them to think they owed me something.

3 bad habits: The top on my list is Procrastinating!! Not being as active as I should be. The final bad habit is assuming before asking.

5 places I have lived: Houston, TX; Dade City, FL; Jalisco, Mexico in several small towns;USC; Los Angeles, CA

5 jobs I have had: Escrow Admin Officer, Property Tax Processor specialist; Elementary school teacher; waitress; engineering intern

5 people I want to know more about (a nice way of saying TAG!): Challo, Frank, Alma, Eileen and Sandra.

Thank you Janice.
