THE GUILLEN FAMILY

It's been way too long....

Yes way too long because its been since Halloween that I don't write on this blog. A lot of things have happened since then. Here we go: We had Thanksgiving over in our home this year. We had Christmas Eve dinner at my sister's house and Christmas Day breakfast in our home (its a tradition that we always host the Christmas morning breakfast). New Year's was hosted by my mom and dad. We spend the whole night eating, and playing Just Dance 4. It was a great way to spend New Year's. But in between all the partying we de-cluttered our home, moved things to the basement (since its finished now we can rearrange things better). We finished installing surround system speakers, new TV, Blu ray player in our family room downstairs. We moved furniture to the basement and bought a new couch for our upstairs sitting area (our upstairs "family Room" has become a "Sitting area", it is much nicer not to have the TV there anymore). So a lot of cleaning and rearranging. What better way to start the New Year. We are still in the process of finishing the bathroom in the basement. We only need to put up the tile, shower door and it will be done. My dad had some health issues so he has not been able to come help us finish the shower. Now that he is better we hope to resume the work and get it done. Our house is so much spacious and not so crowded anymore.
On a lighter note, I was released from my calling as the Activities Coordinator in Relief Society and was called as a second counselor in the Young Women Presidency. I am super excited for this calling however it is sooo much work. I will put up pictures soon of our Holidays and the basement.
