Birthday Week: Travel & Reflexion

I feel that birthdays are like Valentine's day, people give you gifts, chocolates, stuffed animals etc.. I rather get that attention, a gift for no reason, a call on any given day than only on my birthday. I got so many texts this birthday, some from people I hardly talk to. It was weird texting back to thank them because we never talk. I almost said that in my text. But I'm trying to be a nicer person. Same thing with social media, of course Facebook reminds all your "friends" that its your birthday. What if Facebook took away that feature? hmmm...

I'm seriously fine with not really celebrating my birthday but I do get excited about birthday gifts from those who love me and aim to surprise me. I guess when I say celebration, I mean a party or a big gathering. I'm a person who doesn't care to be around tons of people especially if I'm not close to them.

New Orleans Mini Vacation with Friends, Food & Fun

We haven't gotten away since February's Valentine quick vacation. A lot has happened that we needed to recharge. Our best friends haven't seen much of us and what better way to spend time with them, than New Orleans! Who doesn't love NOLA? Exactly! Beautiful architecture, amazing restaurants, fun night life and great outlet shopping...

Drive to Canyon of The Eagles Resort, I love winding roads.

We have had such a hectic life since this year started. Then wonderful Hubby surprised me with a Valentines day Weekend getaway I almost left without packing a bag! I know I'm a tiny bit late to write about it, (3 months) but when I say hectic I mean crazy HECTIC.

We left early Friday morning, my gorgeous Betsy Johnson over night bag nice and full, it was a joke about not packing, of course I did pack. With our overly excited Mochito in hand because the place welcomes the pooches. We are travel addicts, any kind of traveling is OK by the Andersons. Hubby knew that I needed to get more inspiration for artwork, so he picked a gorgeous place that I could both relax and snap pictures at.

Creativity Runs in the Family

With the artist Leon

For years I have been attracted to art, only a few years ago I started getting my hands dirty and actually started to make it. My sisters and I all have a creative side. My sister moved to California a few years ago in pursuit of her own creative dream of acting and her passion of the theater is paying off.  She has been busy auditioning, being in several plays a made television appearances and now she has her first film opportunity, Dark Consequences. (Everyone should go like their page and watch the preview) <<< Especially because she is my sister.

New Year Resolutions and Life Changes

Good Riddance 2013!!!!

OK so 2013 was not all bad but it was not the best and it was so stressful. Between taking on a new job and adjusting to it and school I hardly ever saw the hubby. The husband always the hard worker took on the challenge of starting his own business while still having a full time job.

We strayed away from all our past years resolutions and any social life all together. This New Year that we BOTH claim to be our year we are focusing on new changes and sticking to them. I know everyone says that every new year but in our case we have big plans and in order to make those a reality we have to first do the small steps. So we set out to make our own and joint goals for 2014.
