The end of the world is coming....that's what I hear anyway. So There are a few things I need to do before this happens. Here are some Goals for this year.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
<ul><li style="text-align: left;">I'm not even going to talk about losing weight, because honestly, that stresses me out, we got rid of our scale because I obsess over that stupid number that shows up... so we are going to call it, living a healthier life. Rick and I decided to get an early start, we didn't wait till January first, we did it the day after Christmas, and by doing that we saved 5 dollars each on our memberships! SCORE! We signed up for Crossfit...5:30 am everyday Mon-Fri! KILL ME! But I need to have a good attitude about this, it is for my health!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Temple attendance...I regret to admit that we have not been very good at this, so this year, we are committing to going to the Temple at LEAST once a month.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Continue my studies. As much as I want to quit every semester, I have to keep going....I will be a Nurse....someday!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"> Early to bed, early to rise....this kind of goes along with having to get up at 5 am for Crossfit, but I have noticed that I can get so much done if I get up before my kids do! Go figure! I wish I would have done this a long time ago.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I will do better with teaching my children the Gospel...this is very overwhelming to me, but if I stick with the basics I think everything else will fall into place.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">I will cook more </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">clean more, but relax if my house is not perfect</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">play more</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">laugh more</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">cry less</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">love more</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Read more</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Do more things that bring me joy</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">be a better friend</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">run a marathon with my husband (this will be a huge accomplishment for us)</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Let our kids get dirty....by doing <a href="http://www.thedirtydash.com/">this</a> which will be so dang hard for me! But I think the kids will love it!</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">do more things as a family</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Develop our talents </li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Give more Service to others</li>
</ul>2012 will be a great year, we have many big things happening</div><div style="text-align: center;">our 5 year anniversary which we will be spending in Hawaii</div><div style="text-align: center;">my brother getting married in April</div><div style="text-align: center;">Summerlin will be baptized this year</div><div style="text-align: center;">Andres will get his Driver's license(EEKKK)</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm excited for this year! So I refuse to let this whole "end of the world" hold me back from the things that I want to do and enjoy with my family and friends.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Happy 2012!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I honestly cannot remember any gifts that I ever received before my first Christmas in the USA, which was when I was 10 years old.....but I have the best memories of Christmases spent in Casilda, Argentina in the home of my grandparents...my nono and nona (grandpa and grandma in Italian) I don't know why it is that those are the happiest memories I have. First you have to know that Christmas in Argentina is in the summer, so it is REALLY hot! So we would set our table outside in the long driveway they had. Mostly everyone did this, so you would go outside and sit down for dinner and you could see your neighbors and just hear and see friends and neighbors all around. Also we celebrate on the 24th, Christmas Eve. My grandmother would cook all day...homemade lasagna, made from scratch! Lots of food! Dinner was at 8pm and then everyone hangs out and waits till midnight, that's when the champagne comes out (or sparkling cider for us) and everyone cheers, hugs, fireworks go off, neighbors come over to wish you a Merry Christmas, it's a BIG celebration. After that, we would all go inside by the tree and open gifts! After gifts were opened the party does not end, usually you go visit more friends and neighbors, fireworks are still going off everywhere and you eat some more! People don't go to sleep till 3 or 4 am if they even go to sleep! The 25th is usually spent relaxing and eating left overs. This is what I remember the most! I miss it! Every year when the Holidays come around, I miss them, my grandparents....they were amazing, my fondest memories of my childhood include them. I get a little sad on the 24th of December, but I cherish those memories, those Christmases spent with my family, and it wasn't about gifts at all, it was about family, joy and celebrating the birth of Jesus Christ. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Merry Christmas to all!! </div>prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-15055687970927412642011-12-20T12:13:00.000-08:002011-12-23T20:48:44.950-08:00Month full of Fails....<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">This month, I had big plans.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Baking, crafting, sewing, gifting, family pictures, Christmas cards sent out early, and so on...well</div><div style="text-align: center;">Family pictures have not been taken, which means no cute Christmas card from the Cromars for the first time in almost 5 years, I have crafters block, everything I have tried has not been successful.</div><div style="text-align: center;">My baking skills are gone, disappeared, as if the Christmas Grinch has stolen them from me</div><div style="text-align: center;">EXAMPLE, </div><div style="text-align: center;">i burned the caramel I was making for neighbor treats, I burned the chocolate I was melting for neighbor treats, the bread that I've been baking for over a year tasted horrible, and here we are 5 days before Christmas and I have not baked any treats for the fear of what may happen. </div><div style="text-align: center;">My sister's breastfeeding cover remains cut out pieces waiting to be sewn, and the gifts I was making for the ladies in the family was another fail that I would rather not even describe....</div><div style="text-align: center;">So I was feeling pretty down on myself, and stressed about gifts for people, and what will they think since I haven't made them anything, and how sad they sent us a Christmas card and we didn't send one to them, and it has been eating me up, along with other things when i start feeling insecure....so today I decided to STOP</div><div style="text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>I have 4 beautiful children that are so excited about Christmas, I have a man by my side that loves me unconditionally and I love him, we had a wonderful family vacation last month, we have decorated our tree together, we have made Christmas ornaments, we have made gingerbread houses together, we have a home, we have health, we have the Priesthood in our home, we have the Gospel, we have the knowledge of the true meaning of Christmas, we have amazing family and friends that love and support us, we have so much to be thankful for, so I'm done stressing about what we didn't do, or what to give, or spending money on things that are not important. So I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas! I love everyone around me. No gifts. Just love, cheesy I know, but I don't want to worry anymore about </div><div style="text-align: center;">things that are not important. I hope to serve, to be a good wife, mother, friend and daughter, and to share my testimony with those around me. I love the Gospel of Jesus Christ, I know he lives, I know he took our sins, and died on the cross for us, that he Resurrected and that he lives, I know that he loves and knows each and everyone of us, individually. He knows our struggles, our strengths, our needs, our joys, and he knows our hearts. This Christmas our families have decided to not do gifts for each other, we are having the kids exchange one gift with one another, and that's all. With this, we hope that our children remember what Christmas is all about, the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. That's what matters to us, that's what matters most to me. I have no doubt in my mind where I would be in my life if I didn't have this knowledge, and it would not be a good place. i know that for sure!</div><div style="text-align: center;">So Merry Christmas from the Cromars! </div><div style="text-align: center;">and a Happy New Year :)<br />

</tbody></table> I'm so thankful for my husband, he has been working every week, for 13 weeks straight (he is only home for about 36 hours every week) Most weeks he can't even remember what city, or state he is in. I know this has been hard for him, but he's doing it for us to have a good time on our vacation and Christmas is just around the corner. So this post is for him! 12 more days till California. <br />
The first thing I'm looking forward to, is to see Roman's face when he meets one of the Disney characters....that will be priceless!prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-60943693367188772162011-10-14T10:13:00.000-07:002011-10-14T10:13:23.656-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

This is a bittersweet day for me. I got pregnant at 15...by the way, I don't recommend that, I would die if my girls got pregnant at 15 or if my sons got a girl pregnant at 15. I think back at how disappointed my parents were, yet they stuck by me, and helped me, I would not be where I am today without them. I look at my son today, and I cannot help but notice so many differences from when I was his age. He is so much smarter than I was or am for that matter, he is such a strong young man...to have gone through so much in his life, because of the choices I have made that directly affected him, and still do. As hard as it was to have a baby at 16 years old, I would not...I repeat, WOULD NOT change a thing! I cannot picture my life without him....I don't want to. I remember so clearly that night...<br />
It was midnight on the dot! I was sleeping on the floor because I was so uncomfortable, and my dad and grandpa were watching the movie Braveheart, I felt a weird pain, so I sat up, looked around, looked at the screen and right as Mel Gibson yells "FREEDOOOMMM" at the end of the movie... my water broke..NO JOKE! So we went to the hospital, I was terrified! My mom, dad and a close friend of the family along with a couple of nurses were in the room, helping me, trying to get me to push because I was so tired I just wanted to sleep. My dad cut the umbilical cord...I know CRAZY, but he did, and I'm thankful he was there with me. I still didn't have a name for him, but once I saw him, I knew I wanted to name him Andres (it's my dad's middle name) Once it was all done, and things calmed down, everyone left the room, my parents wanted to go to the cafeteria to get something to eat. I looked down at this tiny baby in my arms and it hit me that I was a mother, that this tiny baby boy was mine, and that I had to take care of him. That was the scariest moment in my life! I still cannot comprehend how this baby boy is now 15, and how incredible he is despite his mother being a teen mom. I have to share something that happened a couple of days ago. My sister got sick, she is pregnant, and had to go to the hospital. Later that night, my son asked if he could call his aunt...I thought he was going to call her to tell her what he wanted for his birthday, but instead he called to make sure she was ok, because he was worried about her and the baby. My sister later texted me this:<br />
Raquel: "my nephew is awesome, I love him. Underneath that teenager, he really cares. He's so cute, he is such a sweetie, you raised him well :)" My reply was "we all did"<br />
and that's really the truth, my family raised him as well, because I had my ups and downs in life, but one thing that has always been constant in his life, are my parents, my brother and sister.<br />
It has been a crazy 15 years, but I hope the next 15 go a lot smoother for us all! I'm so thankful for him, he changed my life for the better. Happy Birthday to the best teenage boy I know, Andres. Love you son!prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-12555240721846359172011-10-04T18:04:00.000-07:002011-10-04T18:04:20.902-07:00And I'm back!I haven't the slightest clue as to what happened to my blog for the past 5 days....but Google recovered it for me....I was very sad, I thought I would never see it again.

My husband has been working every week, and we only get to spend about 35 hours with him, we get Saturday nights, Sunday and Monday mornings. My mother in law is an amazing cook, and anytime her son(my husband) wants something she will cook it for him. So last week he asked for her amazing mole (don't ask how to make it because I don't know, I only know that it has chicken, chocolate, peanut butter and some kind of mix that comes from mexico) anyway, it is really good so she made a big meal for us today, enchiladas, mole, rice and beans. We had a mexican feast, and it was YUMMY! While we were eating she asked me if I got to watch the General Relief Society meeting yesterday....and it hit me that I had completely forgotten about it! In my defense I have been sick, and yesterday I spent ALL day cleaning the house so that my husband would come home to a clean home.......foolish! Well I'm glad I did it, but because I was so concerned about cleaning I forgot to watch the Relief Society meeting. My mother in-law asked me to watch just one talk with her today, President Uchtdorf's talk on "Forget Not"<br />
So we sat, and watched it. You can find it all the talks <a href="http://lds.org/general-conference/sessions/2011/10.relief-society?lang=eng"> here</a><br />
I love General Conference time, it's always EXACTLY what I need to hear....this talk was so powerful for me today. Here are the 5 Forget Nots<br />
1. Forget not to be patient with yourself<br />
2. Forget not the difference between good sacrifice and foolish sacrifice (see foolish, that I was cleaning instead of watching Relief Society general meeting)<br />
3. Forget not to be happy NOW<br />
4. Forget not the "Why" of the Gospel<br />
5. Forget not that the Lord loves you.<br />

Yesterday while spending all day in front of a computer getting caught up on my online class, which is Human Relations and Career Development I decided I'M GOING TO DO IT! The assignment I was working on was on short and long term goals, and I know that we are told from the time we are young to write down what our goals are.....like when I was in Young Women they asked us to write down our goals and what we want in a husband, my list always went like this<br />
-I want to get married in the Temple<br />
-I want to have kids<br />
-I want to be a stay home mom<br />
- I want my husband to be nice, Tall and blonde with blue eyes(no joke)<br />
<br />
This is what I always wrote down, and I got what I wanted, most of it, (other than the tall blonde and blue eyes) haha, but I got better than that I got Rick!) Ok, so it didn't happen in that order either, but what I'm trying to say is that I never really wrote down, or thought about a career (other than to be a model when I was a young teen) I know that being a mother, wife, stay at home mom is the greatest thing I will ever do...but I now understand the importance of an education, and I never took that seriously. I've always had pretty good jobs, working for the WIC program was great, I started that when I was 18 in 1998, the youngest employee in 3 counties of that Health Dept, and I continued with that until 2008, 10 years working for different Health Depts in Colorado and Utah. I know this is getting long....back to what I was saying about writing down my goals, it hit me as I was writing things down for this assignment, the power that writing things down has, when you take it seriously. So I will be an RN. I have been thinking about it for a few years, but never took the steps necessary to make it happen. What I want to do as a nurse is very specific, and may take a while, but I want to work in Labor and Delivery/Postpartum. I want to be around new mothers, I want to help them, I want to continue being a big breastfeeding advocate. So I changed my major yesterday at school, there are only 4 pre-requisite classes that I need to have done before I can get into the Nursing program at SLCC. I'm am so excited. I know the road will be hard, but so so worth it.prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-1541325911424507522011-09-14T08:54:00.000-07:002011-12-23T20:47:00.679-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH3znQ438vey59iD4a8FbJDUGewAoaYEyDomNVqWB_AkEiyUyciZuB2uC1jHH2BU89Z1vqoiD1LBjzYMbmjSkbyOxgvkjLggKkwvMsXmfHtxR2Grcxkg24coOSIWJ0g0fs5bdfw7fBMZc/s1600/HERBALIFE-nutricion_herb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="205" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgH3znQ438vey59iD4a8FbJDUGewAoaYEyDomNVqWB_AkEiyUyciZuB2uC1jHH2BU89Z1vqoiD1LBjzYMbmjSkbyOxgvkjLggKkwvMsXmfHtxR2Grcxkg24coOSIWJ0g0fs5bdfw7fBMZc/s320/HERBALIFE-nutricion_herb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div> I started my Herbalife program this week...I'm excited. In the beginning of the year I lost 10lbs in a month with it, and felt great. Seriously the best products. After all, I need to look good for February for the BIG event, that I cannot reveal yet.<br />

I'm celebrating today because I got 100% on my first Algebra test....Ok well maybe it's Elementary Algebra, but you guys don't understand, I have NEVER scored 100% on an Algrebra test....so I'm pretty dang proud of myself! My high school years were HORRIBLE! I did not get good grades until my 11th and 12th grade year, and never in Math! I barely passed Math when I was in High School. SOOOO here's to me! Oh and this is my 70th blog post, so If I can hurry and get 30 more posts, I will do a giveaway....a good one, I may have to ask some blog giveaway experts, but I'm thinking MAKEUP, because it is my most favorite thing in the world....and math.....NOT!prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-37628830349410597142011-08-31T09:51:00.000-07:002011-08-31T09:51:51.492-07:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtdLGoIpk9vbzOV4dYc7gXDOGbPYeXYcAXCp_dukWnJ_6KMbOqv9ShmHbt4aLRVWT8sfYFn2lSzZw9We4wwX8sX8g6fg8DO6HX8R6Lva1nTYFbs9yvPGlcuT5b0j8t3VPRu2hMK5ArAc/s1600/Month-Wise-Calendar-2011-November--300x225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggtdLGoIpk9vbzOV4dYc7gXDOGbPYeXYcAXCp_dukWnJ_6KMbOqv9ShmHbt4aLRVWT8sfYFn2lSzZw9We4wwX8sX8g6fg8DO6HX8R6Lva1nTYFbs9yvPGlcuT5b0j8t3VPRu2hMK5ArAc/s1600/Month-Wise-Calendar-2011-November--300x225.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Why on earth would I want to wish the fall season upon myself?

Alright, so my teenager is not that excited (he's crazy) but Disneyland is not his favorite place, so I told him we would also make a trip to Universal Studios, which I also LOVE!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But shhh don't tell our kids, because they still don't know we are going, it's a surprise! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So there it is, some great things happening in November.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">can it please get here, like fast!</div>prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-53247695129506909302011-08-25T14:38:00.000-07:002011-12-23T20:46:36.683-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilwVGIbFQVqqEefJ2Rf2Kijl4MkFhTAuDhTkevk7PI9j3TNOESzATCU8Y_2igRdGFvEnYnVn3MXGWGTWvCWqooA5qNrXPjH2X1POMS9rExwzVMnbpEA16P8YhIVoqhmPKlL0IOUKXAqr4/s1600/back_to_school.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEilwVGIbFQVqqEefJ2Rf2Kijl4MkFhTAuDhTkevk7PI9j3TNOESzATCU8Y_2igRdGFvEnYnVn3MXGWGTWvCWqooA5qNrXPjH2X1POMS9rExwzVMnbpEA16P8YhIVoqhmPKlL0IOUKXAqr4/s320/back_to_school.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>Yep! I'm doing it again. I'm doing another semester. I'm taking math, french, and computer basics class. I go tuesdays and thursdays from 10am to 2:30pm...full day of school twice a week. I can't lie, I am pretty excited. I did so much better than I thought last semester, so it gave me the confidence that I needed to go back. I got an A in math, a B in sexuality, and a B in nutrition...I think those are the best grades I have ever had! My parents are PROUD!<br />
Today was my first day, I had anxiety because I have not had a chance to get my books yet, so I thought I was going to get in trouble or something, but nobody cares in College! I had a good day, I'm excited for math, because I actually knew the problems the professor was doing on the board, and then my french class was fun! I know, French I took it in High School for 3 years, and I thought it would be an easy class, but I think I may have been mistaken. The only downside to my College adventure is that parking SUCKS at SLCC, I drove around for about 20 mins trying to find parking, and then there was a sign that the overflow parking is at Witzells Pawn shop about half a block from the school, so I parked over there, and I walked by myself down State st. ! Talk about anxiety attack! After school I made the journey back to my car, alone again, walked to the pawn shop and I passed a couple of men, MY BIGGEST FEAR IN LIFE! Walking by myself in having to walk by creepy looking men, and then to make it worse, as I was walking to my car, which was parked away from the pawn shop, kind of isolated behind some big trucks, so it was somewhat hidden, a man pulls in from state st, starts following me as I'm walking to my car and when I turn he had pulled up right next to me and asked me in a very questionable tone "would you like a ride" AAHHHHHHHHH I wanted to scream "stranger" "stranger" like I was taught when I was little, but I composed myself and told him "NO" and he took off! SCARY! I need to get to SLCC much earlier so I can get a parking spot on campus!prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-5149364731104976482011-08-17T20:11:00.000-07:002011-12-23T20:49:48.413-08:00Back to school night....junior high editionTonight, was Andres' back to school night. I went with him. Basically what you do is they give you 15mins in each of your 8 classes, so that you can go around and see what your day will be like, where the classrooms are, meet your teacher, and for the teacher to give you a condensed version of what the year will be like, supplies needed and such. I was running late(shocker!) I was trying to get dinner for the 3 little ones that were staying home, with my mom, and I was in such a hurry that I didn't even think to look at my clothes...so I left, got to the junior high, found Andres there, and went inside. As I walk through those doors I look down at my white t-shirt that I'm wearing, and of course there's a stain on it, and then another blotch of I don't know what, that looks like little fingers (gee I wonder who's fingers those are?) As if walking through those doors didn't give me enough anxiety, now I have to walk around this school with a stained shirt...and I know they are looking at me, and maybe even talking about me as they walk by me! Or is that all in my head!? GRRR!! Why does going into a junior high immediately make me feel self conscious and like a complete reject!? I'm a mom, I'm raising 4 kids, I have a home, I have a nice car...that I can drive, might I add, I can cook, I can use a credit card, I've graduated High school and I'm even a college student now...so why does this anxiety completely take over me and instantly feel lower than these children....I'm old enough to be their mom! So I notice that as I'm walking through these halls, and as I'm sitting in each classroom, I feel the need to hold my purse in front of me, or pretend I'm reading a piece of paper, trying to hide this stupid stain on my shirt. I was so uncomfortable for the 1 1/2 hours that we were there! Of course it doesn't help that my son, my sweet 14 year old cute boy which I gave birth to, thinks I'm so not cool, and sometimes didn't even want to sit by me in the classroom UGH! How do I get past this? I was that girl, the girl that was made fun of, the girl that didn't have cool clothes, the girl that was totally ignored by all the boys, and all those insecurities of junior high come rushing back as I'm in this school! I need a therapy session just to get over what this back to school night has done to me, and I will be sending them the bill! Now I'm going to go curl up in a blanket and a pillow, watch something that will be depressing while I eat ice cream! Ridiculous!prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074996506556460496.post-5419001845803830272011-08-05T17:48:00.000-07:002011-08-05T17:48:14.463-07:00Birthday weekend<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Last weekend I turned 31....OUCH! I was really excited last year to turn 30, but this year I was not ready to be 31. Rick and I went to Manti and we stayed at a Bed & Breakfast. We had never been to B&B, it was a gift from my parents, my sister and her husband. The house was a little creepy the first night we stayed there, but it is run by the sweetest old lady that we have ever met. Marlene Yardley, she took us around the house, told us all about the history of the house, she was actually hired as the maid of the house 20 years ago, the lady of the house passed away shortly after and then Marlene ended up marrying the widow man Yardley and became the mistress of the house (those were her words) Rick and I were confused...we thought she would be the lady of the house after she got married, but she said mistress hmmmmm.....but seriously she was the cutest old lady. The house had many LDS art pieces throughout. The head sculptures of Oliver Cowdery, Emma Smith and others was a little creepy to me, but by the end of our stay, we really did fall for that house, and if I could live in that house, I would move to Manti...( although I would definitely redecorate)</div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

Rick and I did a session on Saturday morning, and it was such an amazing feeling in there. All Temples are special, but there was something about this one that I absolutely loved!<br />

On our way to Vernal with my mom, we stopped at Smith's in Heber...just to pick up some healthy snacks for our trip to Vernal. We were in the produce section, and hidden away by the grapes, we saw a plastic container with figs! We were so surprised because this fruit is very rare around these parts. My mom was so excited, and so was I since I have not had fresh figs since I was little and we lived in Argentina. This is were my childhood comes in. We lived with my grandparents (my mom's parents) for a big portion of my childhood, until I was 9 and we moved to the USA, and when I was 10 we went back for 6 months, but my mom and I have not been back since then. My grandfather had a lot of land, we had lots of fruit trees, including plums, pears, apples,lemons, and FIGS! In fact my grandfather's land had about 5 fig trees. As a little girl, playing outside in my grandparent's land we would pick figs all day long and eat them right off the tree. This also brings back great memories for my mother and of all the amazing tastes we used to enjoy when we lived with them. I know it may seem silly, but I had a great childhood and miss them terribly. I wish my kids had the kind of childhood I had, playing outside ALL day long, we didn't get bored exploring the land, playing on railroad tracks behind my grandparent's land, catching frogs from the ditches in the street, living in a place where everyone knows you, and everyone watches out for each other, and there is no danger of kids being outside at night, riding bikes with friends, playing hide and go seek in the dark while all the adults sat outside in the evening visiting with each other until the 1am bus would go by, and everyone knew that it was time to go inside and call it a night, creating projects in my grandfathers tool shed, (he had so many fun things that kids really should not play with) but he loved us, and never got mad at us even when we would play with his paints, eating fruit off their trees, watching my grandfather care for his maticulous, garden, watching my grandfather killing a chicken every week and watching as my grandmother gutted it and preparing it for all of us to eat...I know sounds gross, but I have not tasted anything like that ever since. Those are memories I have that I cherish and wish we lived in a world where that would be possible now. So you see, eating those figs on our way to Vernal sparked all these great memories I have of my childhood, and I know it meant much more to my mom. They were amazing, and I miss them.prcessmaghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03308042308493167595noreply@blogger.com1
