My Birthday

I am an Aquarius. I like having my birthday in February and of course joke all the time about being sorry for anyone born in any other month. Ha Ha – I know it isn’t that funny. But birthdays in any month seem to come and go when we arn’t looking and then it is too late- We get old. I turned 37 this year and have definitely felt like I’m getting older. Things are different now that I am watching my children grow so quickly – my birthday doesn’t seem so exciting or important. But I still want to enjoy myself and I do still enjoy life very much, so there is motivation to do something fun to mark the occasion. This year it turned out to be work! Well, unless the exact day has been on a weekend I have always worked on my birthday. It was not the same old thing, though. I spent my day at an eschool conference learning about technology applications in education. Kinda of f cool – a little bit like a vacation. And it went a little further – a grown up weekend night in Waikiki. Now that is playing tourist. Thank you, Grandma for babysitting! We had a nice time walking on the beach and listening to a couple of local bands play.  Mostly, I do enjoy thinking about all of my family and friends each year on my birthday. We do get older, but each year adds more people and memories to who we are. It is worth taking the time to remember and enjoy the journey we are on in life.

Happy New Year 2006

Well – the year has started happy and fast!  I hope it has started happy for all of you as well.  I am optimistic that 2006 is going to be busy and full of changes for our family. A visit to Mexico is on the list as well as Europe in the summer. Cian will start kindergarten and Mason pre-school. Grandma Dianna is back at school as well. She is attending college for her training in early childhood education. How funny that she needs a degree after raising three children and now two grandchildren full time!  Anyway, it is always about moving forward and finding new challenges in life. 

Joyce’s goal for 2006 – Post and communicate on-line more consistenly and purposefully! My nacos blog will be a part of that, but also getting my personal web site organized and updated. Yikes it is a lot, but a lot of fun.
