One More video of Amber



Amber was sick and during these performances. She didn't feel she was performing as well as she can due to her being ill and her throat being affected, but for those of us who don't have training in voice, we may not notice too much of a difference. :)

More Christmas Pics

The holidays

Wow, it has been a long time since I posted anything. The holidays were great. I had two Thanksgivings. I made a meal on Tuesday and took it to my mom and her husband. We spent the actual holiday with Ashley and her boyfriend, Gabe, in Silver City. Amber and Carlos spent their first Thanksgiving with Carlos' family (yep time for the in-law turn taking at holidays). Prior to Christmas we went to Las Cruces and views a musical Amber was in called "Two from Galilee" She played Mary. I will attempt to post a video of her singing.
Christmas was wonderful. Amber, Carlos, Ashley and my wonderful stepson, Johnny, all came down for the holiday. This was the first time Johnny had Christmas with us in about 10 years. I haven't been able to have everyone here at Christmas for 2 years, so this was great.
I was deeply disappointed that my mother and her husband didn't come down. She sais it was too cold and they didn't really feel like coming. Oh, well. We all had a good time anyway and I took my mom her gifts from everyone after the holidays were over.
Christmas night we to a river boat ride down the Pecos River and looked at the Christmas lights on the river. I will attempt to post pictures of these as well.
New Years was spent at the ELKs lodge with my sweet husband and a couple of friends from my job. I haven't danced so much in a long time. I LOVED it!
I started a weight loss program last Sunday. I've lost 2 pounds so far. It is really a sensible plan. A balanced meal and exercise, that's about it, but I needed to have someone to keep an eye on me and motivate me to stick to something. Hopefully, I will lose a few pounds, but mostly I will get into better physical shape and have more endurance.
This was really long, but I'm done now. I need to post stuff more often and put less words. LOL
