New Year

Last year in 2006, I was fortunate enough to be meet a man who completes me in every sense of the word. We have our ups and downs as most do but what makes this a special connection is that through it all we both can overlook it and the love we share for each other is still very much alive in our eyes.

I love this man so very much and even my whole family does. My only wish when it comes to him and my family is that he would had gotten the chance to meet those who are no longer with us. I have my dreams but I don't think I can take him with me to find out if they would love him as much as the baby does. The baby being my sister's son who is the spitting image of Di Marco's with all the joy and humor of the Sautte's. If I use the baby as a guide then I think my family has decided that it's him they choose.

When I was small, about 4 or 5 years old, I decided then I knew what I wanted in my life. I wanted a family like mine with relatives all over the place who randomly stop by and love that fills a true Italian home. And with thoughts how to make this so for my family to give them what I did have, I wanted to be exactly like me. And for that I knew I was going to be with a Sicilian man so that way my kids would literally be me - 1/2 sicilian, 1/4 napeledon, and 1/4 calaprese.

Thankfully Peiro is such a man and so his family. And the best thing of all, him and his family bring back the old ways of language to the table. Which I have always missed.

2006 brought so many promises, it brought us baby for the family, and another new addition to my life, Peiro.

2007 proved that I am more then what meets the eyes on various levels and our family is strengthening

2008 will be seen as a new year of hopes and dreams and all the joys that a new year promises...
