My vacation with the family is coming to an end. I'll be flying out on Tuesday heading back to Guahan. I really don't want to leave. But I know I have too. I had so much fun with Rhoda and our kids, Larraine and Frenz.
It's hard to believe that I'm actually leaving again. But I will be back soon. Do you think Easter break is too soon?! I'll be back with my goddaughter, Arissa. We'll both be in Cagayan De Oro for dental work during her Spring Break. I have a major tooth extraction that needs to happen during that time frame.
Anyway, it was great to be back with the family. I had a lot of rest and relaxation that my doctor on Guahan wanted me to have. Ate lots of vegetables and fruits here, helping to lower the sugar level in my system. Rhoda was in charge of my medical care while I'm in town.
Rhoda's family, my in-laws, came in a couple of hours after I arrived in Cagayan De Oro. They took a private van from Butuan City. It was great to see all of them. We all celebrated Christmas together. I especially enjoyed all the nephews and nieces playing loudly together in our small yard. Some of the elder boys got to have fun browsing the internet while they were here. Something they have very limited access to, while in the province. We had our noche buena and all the kids got to play games and open their gifts. Unfortunately, they didn't stay long and left a couple of days later due to previous commitments in Butuan City.
My sister-in-law, Rizza, and niece, Chenchen, stayed another week with us. Rhoda's family and best friend, El el, adopted each other. So Rhoda now has another elder sister. Family is family, whether born to you or chosen. So El and her family are now our family as well. We sort of helped a little with El el's house blessing. We also celebrated El el's husband, Joffrey's return to the Philippines and his birthday, that same night.
New Year's Eve was not disappointing. We had fireworks going off in all sides of the house. The city was lit up with fireworks. That was awesome! Watching the look and excitement coming from my son, Fren fren and his sisters, Larraine and Chenchen, faces was priceless. We did have some of our own fire works that we lit up. But nothing compared to the neighbors that went beyond and gave us a spectacular light show through midnight.
Rhoda and I have decided on some major issues in our lives. We went ahead and answered a couple of proposals from courting companies requesting that I join their safety department. We'll see in a couple of days or a week after I get back, If I am still with the company or if I jumped.
ESTA
KEEP SMILING :)
