Happy Holidays :)

Hello world :)

I can't believe Christmas is over! I'm still like a little kid so having to wait another year will be tough haha.

I felt like Papa Noel this year lol I have a stable job so I wanted to give as much as I could ( of course not going into debt) to my people ;) 

Our big celebration is Christmas Eve. We have a nice dinner and we open presents on midnight :) 

We love to decorate with mom and make our table look nice on our budget :)

I love how festive our table looked :) and my mom is always very detailed in everything :)

Our menu was the following:

• Spicy Bolivian Pork, this was a dream! The meat was so tender! It was melting in your mouth!

• Chicken Alfredo, and again meat was tender and well seasoned :)

• Potatoes au gratin, this was our first time doing it and it was a total success!

• Fetuccini noodles, al dente seasoned with some herbs.

• Flan, you can't go wrong with homemade Flan!

• Panettone, a classic Christmas bread! My mom bakes it from scratch and it is the best!!

I'm a little sad Christmas is over and I won't hear more Christmas songs but I'm looking forward to next year :)

How was Christmas for you? Did you eat a lot? I hope you had an awesome one!!

Update + Thanksgiving

Hello world

I apologize for not updating here for a while. I've been so busy with a new job and school but I promise I'll update in a regular basis from now on :) ... Let me tell you I'm really enjoying my job! This is the first time I feel happy to go to work because the people there are amazing :) I'm enjoying this season since it's not too cold like other years, life is good in general! :D

We had Thanksgiving with my family and it was great and fun! I love spending time with my family so much! We are a really small family but we still want to have a little feast ;

Our Thanksgiving Feast!

 

We cooked the traditional Thanksgiving dinner, my mom did the Turkey and I was in charged of everything else!

I had to take a selfie showing all my hard work lol

I prepared the following side dishes from scratch:

• Mashed Potatoes
• Stuffing
• Caramel yams
• Green bean casserole

I like to cook side dishes I think it's kind of relaxing since they are quite simple to do and I don't want my mom to be overwhelmed with so many things to do for this holiday.

Thanksgiving is a great holiday to make you think about life and that even though you have tough times there are some things that you can be thankful for. Here are some of the things that I'm grateful for:

• My family: my mom, my dad, my brother, my King Rusty, my extended family 

• My boyfriend who is my family as well :)

• My friends

• My job that is just awesome!

Did you have a nice Thanksgiving? What are you thankful for?

Have a wonderful day!!

New job ... again!

Hello world

I want to apologize for the lack of updates lately! The reason is that I got a new job again!!

Remember I wrote about having a new job and that it was not what I wanted? Well that job was making me miserable, because it was a dead end one, with not so nice people around so I was looking for another one in the meantime.

I found one that was exactly what I wanted, with better environment and pay so I decided to apply and thank God I got it! The training was still hard but I was happy going! :)

I'm in a great place now and I hope I can grow within this amazing company!

I don't think I can write too much this week but next week I'll be able to update more since training will be over by then :)

Have a great day!!
