Updates and I booked my trip! omg!

I booked my trip to Egypt. June 17 until July 7. I will be gone for 21 days. I'm freaking out just thinking about leaving Doug and Amelia here at home but this has been the biggest dream of mine. Doug surprised me with the tour package with Princess Farhana and I just booked the airline. I will be staying with Yaz and family for a few days but then I'll be staying in a old Egyptian Palace overlooking the pyramids. Ahhhhh.....And I get to fly to Luxor and take a cruise on the Nile and I'll get to see Aswan and all kinds of neat things like the valley of the kings. Cool!!! My sister just booked a ticket to go along and she will be staying with Yaz and family the whole time. She is so excited!! I'm excited! We get to fly into Amsterdam and will get to see that cool airport....let's just hope the volcano stops before June! I thought about all the things I've wanted to accomplish in life and I have done everything on my list except Egypt. It's the last thing on my list. I can't believe that I'm 35 and I have accomplished my list. I guess it's time to start thinking of new dreams and goals.



I turned the big 3-5 this year. It's a pretty big milestone. I had my birthday party along with Shawn at Ali Baba's in Little Rock. There ended up being 30+ people at the party. Shannon performed for us, we had our food catered by Ali Baba's and it was one hell of a party. We did debke dance with the Arabs and just had a good time. It is definitely one party I won't forget!


This is me and Ebony in Eureka Springs. We had such a good outing. Ebony is a photographer and belly dancer, too!


This is on a Fayetteville trip a few weeks back. Met some of my friends at Racha Thai food. So good to see everyone!


This is part of my family. My dad is wearing the sunglasses. My uncle Enrique is on the other side of me along with his wife and daughter. Also pictured is my Amelia and Antonio (my brother's son)


Me and Mom! yay!

Amelia


Amelia is now taking gymnastics and belly dance. She has really started liking belly dance again and has been asking to go to classes to learn. She has picked it up very quickly!

Clubhouse! Amelia has a room she plays in with her friends. They store the Barbie's in there and they draw on the walls. Wished I had something like that when I was a kid!

Amelia at the UALR library. She goes to school with me when she is out. For some reason she just loved my reasoning across the disciplines class!

I gave Amelia a haircut....it was just time to do it. I bought some hair scissors at the wig shop and commenced to cutting!
