Chrismas Day 2007

Adrian's dad Jesus Jose Quesada, plays the piano by ear as well. So we see where Adrian has got this talent from. We had the traditional turkey. Adrian's grandmother, Concepcion my dad and his girlfriend Sandy were there to share the day with us> We went over to grandma's. Carmen, Ruben, Jr., my mom, Albert, and Gina were there. Everyone else had their own plans. It was fun. We tried to get everyone involved in the game "are you smarter than a 5th grader"

One of my many favorite pics

I'd like to get a family pic of each aunts, uncles, and cousins family. All the uncles are very seldomly together. I will get one--I have to!! I regret not taking pictures earlier in my life. There are so many memories in life. Having pics to go with those memories are so special.

Adrian and I plan to eat at my favorite restaurant afterwards, Olive Garden (Westside). SO all are welcome to join us!
We would have had a party at our new house but there just isn’t the time.
Call me if you have questions.
See you there.

Las Vegas Honeymoon

We had a lot of fun. We planned around the shows this time. I can't remember all of them, but the best ones were Wayne Newton, David Copperfield, and Mystere. The last time we were in Las Vegas we got to try out the rides, The Bigshot and the other one on the Stratosphere. That was a unique experience. The creativity in this hotel, I think the Bellagio, was amazing. The center displayed these poinsettas and a small pool of fresh cranberries. A huge polar bear at one corner made of white poinsettas and a reindeer on the other corner of pecans.

We finally made it to the volcano eruption and fountain shows on the strip. The seven days we were there was quite enough for me. Unfortunately, we weren't so lucky on the slots or tables.

I know it's taken me a while to post these photos. I think posting photos allows anyone to print copies. So enjoy!!

California cousins

It was so great to see Mary Ann and Kathi with their kids. If I could I would go and get to know my entire family on a once a year basis, at least. I know life is tough for everyone, as well as for myself.
This semester is the toughest for me, especially making sure all is thought out about my wedding.
Family is where the heart is. I know my sister will be with me at my wedding, as well as David, Carmen, and Ernest.
I will never, for the rest of my life forget how fortunate I am to have such a great family. I thank God everyday.

My Wedding

I have finally got a date picked out. It will be on December 16th. I know that this is very last minute. I just hope all of you can make it over to El Paso. It will be held at San Martin de Porres church in Sunland Park, NM and the reception will be in central EL Paso, Radford hall.
I will mail you all an invitation as soon as possible.
