This past holiday season was a bit bitter sweet for me. It was after all the last holidays I would fully celebrate with my family. To say that I cried and had a meltdown is an understatement. This year will be different and I’ll be celebrating and ringing in the new year with my new family.
A small tidbit about me: Pepe and I have never celebrated Christmas or New Years together in the past 6 years that we have been together. He is with his family and I’m with mine.
As tradition would have it, we spend Christmas in town at my aunt’s house and exchange gifts. A few days after Christmas we take off to celebrate New Years with my dad’s side of the family in a small town called Los Garza: Population 230ish. I think those numbers are just a bit off during the year, but once the kids are out of school for the holidays the town is rejuvenated. People walking down the street and having lunch out in the patio.
I looked forward to the trip to Los Garza, knowing that it would probably be the last time I would spend so many days there. I’m not say I won’t go back, but probably won’t be able to spend the whole week there. That’s what happens when you get married. You gain a whole new family and new traditions are started.
I took advantage of the time we had and simply documented what was truly special to me; my family, having lazy days where we just sat around and talked, played games and ate wonderful food.
Here are the people who love me unconditional and are always wanting me to succeed! I love you guys!
