Random Facts

- Pablo is currently job hunting and depending on this we will decide where we will be living for the next few years. 
- I can spend the whole day indoors and be okay with it, I don't do it often since sometimes Avi needs space to run around, but if it were up to me, I'd stay here. - I love spending time just walking around a store, or a mall, it's kind of relaxing, I love looking at a lot of items and come up with decoration ideas. 
- Earlier this year I dreaded having to make food, but I am slowly growing fond of cooking. Finding new recipes online is definitely helping! 
- There are some many things I want to do next year, I need to write them down so I can scratch them off. 
- One of the toughest things I've gone through so far is Avi's accident, it was really scary when it happened I couldn't even talk.
