Sad Day

Today was a sad day for the family. My grandfather (mom's dad) died on New Year's Day and he was put to rest today. He had been sick for a long time today and it was sad to see him in the state he was in. In one respect I am happy to know that he is in a better place, but in another I know that I will not see him again. For the most part the family is doing well and I pray that we can all stay strong in this time of. I ask you all out there to keep my grandfather in your prayers and to keep the family in your prayers as well.

Ringing in 2009

When my wife and I bought our house we wanted to be able to host family and friends. This New Year celebration was one of our first opportunities to do so. The night consisted of a pot luck dinner full of tamales, taquitos, rice, salad etc. In order to make the night fun for everyone, we decided to make it a "Game Night" theme. People were playing bingo, Texas Hold 'Em, Sorry and Trouble all in order to win tickets to have a chance to win various prizes we made available. Below are a few pictures from the evening.

New Year's Resolution

So, one of my New Year's Resolutions this year was to create my own little spot in the vast world wide web. I wanted a space to share my thoughts and share my world with you. 2008 was an up and down year. I got married, passed the PE licensure examination and was able to purchase a house along with my wife. On the other hand, I did have some losses this year. My grandmother passed away and a few weeks later my great uncle passed away. With their passing, the Magos Family closed the book on their generation.

I hope you will enjoy my blog and enjoy the stories I bring to you. My goal is to update it as much as possible and keep you all updated on all the latest and greatest news from my wife and I.
