Happy New Year....

I know it's late in the year, but never too late right? I have actually got a lot of things done already this year. Of course welcomed the new year in with my youngest son was great. Me and some friends participated in a Blazin challenge. If you don't know what that is, Buffalo Wild Wings has this challenge where if you can finish 12 of their hottest wings without ranch, drink, and wiping your mouth all under 6 minutes, you get a shirt and your photo posted on their wall of fame. It was a great experience. Out of our team of 3, I was the one that made the last cut. Five minutes 50 seconds to be exact. But man I was hurting the next day.
Then the next month it was my son's birthday. We postponed the first party because of rain. Then we were sad because it looked like it was going to rain on the other date we chose. But thank God it didn't. My parents and yaya worked hard to get the party ready and it was so worth it. We had lechon, taco lady, my mom's cooking. It was almost all gone when it was said and done.
It has already been such busy year. I can't believe it's already March.
This is about the time I start to reflect on my life. Where I am now. Where I am going. It's funny how perspective changes as you get older. How what was important to you then is minute now. How which friends who you thought were the greatest are now not so great and vice versa. How family is the strongest bond there is. And that a little boy's smile can make the most taxing day be the best day ever.
