New Year's Eve

Little did I know that three years ago would be my last single, pregnant-free, child-free New Years Eve celebration. Boy am I glad that I got all the fun out in my younger years!

Some of us lucky few are actually able to obtain babysitters and go out and celebrate like we did before the responsibility of parenting came. I have not been fortunate enough to have that happen, not to mention that the very thought of coming home late and spending the next day with the “Irish Flu”, (or anything less than normal feeling) around children sounds a lot more miserable than finding something else, more child-friendly…

It’s New Year’s Eve 2015. My family and I are walking the streets of downtown San Antonio heading to the Riverwalk. My heart is already pumping blood uncontrollably, not because of the lengthy walk we had to take in order to reach the Riverwalk, but of excitement. The feeling of excitement due to that I will once again be reunited with the Riverwalk; my favorite place in this whole world. This small stretch of river, which I’ve visited two times previously, has a special place in my heart. When…

In truth, we can do none of those things in the flesh, which is why our New Year 's resolutions tend to fail. Its the same every year, WE make a plan for…

Five minutes later, he came back carrying a package of index cards and a handful of multi-colored pens. “At…
