About Me

Phoenix, Arizona
Growing up my initials were OP, which was pretty cool in the 80's, right? Then I got married and my initials got updated to match our very texting obsessed era that we now live in (and shake our heads at)...OMG. For those who are texting illiterate, I'll spell it out..."Oh, My God!". I pity the girl whose initials are W.T.F. (I won't spell that one out. You can Google it or email me for an explaination on that one!)

The Difference a Year Makes

Last year, I thought this was evidence of my attempts at healthy eating.....

This year, things have gotten alittle more serious in the fruit & veggie department.


Last year, I was most concerned about getting a great hair cut & color....
This year, I'm more concerned about making a great grade on my final....(I still realize my bangs look horrible!)

Last year, I was saying good-bye to my sweet brother as he moved to California....


This year, I'm saying hello to my new sister-in-law!


Last year, I ate tons of cake on my 33rd B-day.
This year, I made better choices for my 34th B-day.....

Last year, we took my healthy Grandma out for steak on her 80th B-day....

This year, we are just glad to be home & able to celebrate another year with her on her 81st B-day.
Last year, I was given these wee little leaves transplanted by my mother-in-law....

This year, I am in awe...

I am in awe by it all.
What a difference a year makes.
Oh, what wonders are in store for the following year!
Oh, what wonders are in store for the following year??

Oh Oliva... this brought tears to my eyes. I feel it is totaly relevant to say, "What a difference a year makes"...

I LOVE your beautiful sweet smile in every single pictures. You have an inner light girl...

I am so lucky to know you!
