Mourning my Grandmother’s Death

November 5, 2008

Sunday November 2, 2008 – while I was working at Open City Bistro I received a phone call @ 10:11pm from my mother crying, she said ” Chea` my momma is dead”!! Right then and there I broke down in front of the police, co-workers, customers, bar-backs and all. For at that moment I felt my soul leave my body leaving me powerless and feeling so very helpless. Im thankful my mother had the courage to call my sister and brother-in-law before she called me and have them in route to where I was, for she knew this was news I could not handle alone.

I would like to thank all the well wishers from BONA Fitness, Elite Martial Arts, Open City, Union Bar, Zepplin, Pandora, Epic Lounge, Pravada (formerly) Crome, DECO, and all those who I missed thank you!! i know I have to be strong right now….if not for myself for my mother who is hurting the most!!

Death is more universal than life; everyone dies but not everyone lives. Luv you grandma! I hate you missed history in the making!!

Family Thanksgiving 2007

July 17, 2008

Thanksgiving as grown to be one of my favorites holidays as I’ve gotten older. I believe the underlying meaning of the holiday, being thankful and having love for the ones close to you, is the thing that I truly appreciate. Man, I’m getting to be a sap in my old age! Anyways, we had Thanksgiving Dinner at Aunt Grace’s place in Katy this year. Pics below:

Thales Rivas Baby Shower

July 17, 2008

Here are some overdue pics of the Baby Shower that Lindsey, Chris, and I threw for Jordan, Alaina, & Baby Bean! It was co-ed so it was a little different than the average baby games and diapers. I’m so glad that everyone had a good time and enjoyed the turkey I baked! Thanks so much also to Vanessa and Steve for offering so much help. You guys are so sweet! Jordan & Alaina, putting you two together was one of the best things I’ve ever done in my life. If nothing else, I’m just glad to be a part of your lives and sharing this wonderful occasion with y’all. I genuinely love you guys so much. Here are the pics…
