Last weekend while we were in San Diego Gavin meet his uncle Ricky for the first time. It was a bitter sweet moment for me. I was so gald that Ricky came down to see him cause he's getting big and I want Ricky to be in his life. Well me and my brother have a difficult relationship and like any other brother and sister we don't always see eye to eye at certain things. It was also the first time in 11 months that I had seen my brother too. And it hurt the whole time, but I was being stubburn. I should have been a better person and called him and forgave him, but I would pray every Sunday at church and tell GOD to help me be a better sister,wife and mom. I would tell myself ok today I will make an effort and call him, but than there would be that hurt inside me and I never did call him. I love him so much but I want more for him and he's trying and going through life in a steady pace, and I have to respect him for that. I can't push him when he's not ready. Seeing him on Saturday at my mom's house for dinner was the best feeling ever, it felt like all this weight had come off my shoulders. I cried and told him I loved him and that I was sorry. The next day we went to his apartment and hung out for awhile. It was nice and I know that last weekend was the best weekend of my mom's life... we were all a family again.
So last weekend went to "OUR" home town, SAN DIEGO!!! We were there all weekend and visited family and friends. Everytime We go we're always so busy. Jose's grandma and Aunt hadn't seen Gavin since Febuary. They were shocked to see how big he is. Of course everytime we go down there Jose has about 4 different food places he stops and eats at. But not during the whole weekend we're there, he does it ALL in one day... yuck :0 And he also brings 2 burritos home to eat later. He says the burritos are so much better over there, and he's kind of right. Than on Sunday we went to my mom's beach house in Baja, MX. It's so relaxing there:> We took Gavin down to the beach and he was having fun in the sand until he put it in his mouth than I freaked out. We hang out there for a while, for being a Sunday it was pretty busy on the beach. It was Gavin's first time at the beach and in Mexico, My mom can't wait until he gets alittle older to take him and play in the water, but she already told me that I'm not invited cause I don't let him be a boy and get dirty. I guess cause his my first I want to protect him and I worry a lot, it's a " MOM THING" right?? We all had so much fun, I don't know why we don't go more often? Hopefully there will be many more trips down there to come ;>
Just to give you some history of the family, Jose and I have been together since 1998... YES it's been 10 years with lots of good times and some bads. But we made it through and got married last year. But our journey doesn't end there the begining of 2008 we added a new edtion to our family, a beautiful baby boy- GAVIN. It's been great i have a wonderful husband and a happy, healthly (8.9lbs) son :> I look forward to see what the road has ahead for me.
