Giving this "blogging thing" a try!

I have been wanting to blog since I first became a mom in 2009, but never found the time (or better said the courage) to do it. Until now, I think I am at a time in my life where I have things to blog about.  Before, all I cared for was what I was going to wear to the club and if my friends (and a few crushes) would be there. But having kids change your life 360 degrees. But in order for you to understand where the title to my blog page came I have to go all the way back to the beginning, so here I go.

I was just a little girl when my parents decided to bring me to this beautiful country that I now call home, to pursuit the so called "American Dream" hint the title to my blog.  My father promised me he would take me to Disney World and that's how he convinced me (smart man huh? lol) It might have taken him 10 years but he took me to see Mickey Mouse! and every year thereafter (  I guess he was making up for all those 10 years I waited patiently) and I sure did not complain.

Being a Mexican family, we were very close, ate dinners together every night, spend lots of quality time with each other, and enjoying every single moment. I truly had a wonderful childhood; being an only child for 16 years and only grand child for 10, I was very spoiled and loved by all of my family, but the relationship me and my father had (or daddy as I STILL call him) was truly the best thing I could ever ask for. 

But it wasn't all peaches and creams. When I was 19 my parents decided to separate, breaking that "perfect family" I had (or so I thought) leaving my brother (Jose, who was 3 at the time) and myself with a broken heart and a sense of emptiness that I still struggle to fill.  Their divorce was one of the hardest things I have ever had to deal with (and still struggle to), but thanks to lots of visits to my therapist (or crazy doctor as I call her) I can talk about it without tearing up.

Today I am blessed with a family of my own, my husband of 5 years, my 2 wonderful babies, Natalie who is 3 and Owen who us just 2 months old. I have a career in Real Estate that I enjoy very much, a very social (or nosey in other words) life, and a great relationship with both of my parents. 

What else can I girl like me ask for?? maybe a million dollars! lol. But, hey, nothing is perfect, right?! lol

So, bare with me as I begin this new adventure as a blogger!! Here I will post pics of my pride and joy, my babies of course, my "creations" as my neighbor calls them, and my day-to-day events.
