Party at the MAI house

Saturday night after watching the concert at the mac stage, we hung out at my house! It was nacho night :D We had two special guests joining us, Fran and Jane :) It was nice enough outside to gather around the fire-pit.

My name is Destiny and I am a textaholic...

I have come to the sad realization that I am a textaholic. It is hard for me to admit to this, but I know that it is true. My phone has been there with me, way to much apparently. I realized that at nearly every social and family event I have attended in the past two years I was probably texting. It would be embarrassing to watch a replay of all the times I was just sitting around, texting. Like seriously it makes me want to throw my phone out the window in anger! At the same time it is an important communication device, but I am sure that I could live without it. This is actually similar to the way I felt about facebook. Except I use my phone for important things. lol

So to change this anti-social habit of texting, I have decided that when I am hanging out with friends or family I should leave my phone in my purse on silent. Yes I know it will be hard, but it's for the best right?

Birthday Party

Last Tuesday my Mom and I went to a birthday party for Aaron and Diego. We had some delicious food!! It was so good!! The kids were being so cute, as usual.


I can't believe Aaron is 9, and Diego is 4. Life is going by so fast! ; ( I mean seriously, my ninth birthday seems like it was so long ago!! I actually can't even remember my ninth birthday actually... Reality is starting to settle in, in less than 4 months I will be turning 18 years old!!! Oh my gosh what am I doing typing on this computer, I should be out having fun!! I told myself that I would have a lot of fun this year, and I have had fun, but not enough... Goodness!! I need to go think of what I am going to do about this... Anyways so I have included some pictures that I got :)

Really Diego loves me, he just wasn't feeling it

Diego was really excited about his present's :)

How is that even possible?

Smile :)
