Don't Blink

Can't believe it's been a year since Brittany graduated from Arizona State! Kenny Chensey's song "Don't Blink" rings so true, (check it out below in my song list). She is working in San Diego at Kiddie Corp, an event planning company. She works with children while their parents are at a meeting, conference, party or whatever else there happens to be. Britt actually is the one who plans the event, and makes sure they have everything they need so the event runs smoothly. Every once in awhile she also works as the On-Site Manager. They love her and several companies have already requested she plan their next event. Check out her company at http://kiddiecorp.com/

Britt lives in the Pacific Beach area in San Diego. Rozlyn and Devin, along with her boyfriend, Jonathan, and his son, Jaiden, went down a few weekends ago and stayed with her. They took the kids to Sea World. It was perfect because it's really close to Brittany's apartment. It was fun for the boys to sleep at Auntie Nittney's house. Not sure what her neighbors thought of two four-year olds playing soccer at 8:00 in the morning!

Brittany just got back from a three-day cruise to Mexico with three of her friends. Yes, they are just friends! Jenn, her roommate, and Brittany

have been friends since eighth grade when they played club volleyball together. Brittany is so lucky, there was a group of eight girls in high school that became friends and believe it or not they are all close still. She was roommates with one of them, Savannah, all through college. She even has friends she met while in Kindergarten. Guess that says something about her.

I know every mother thinks their daughter is the best, but mine really is! Brittany has, and continues to be thoughtful, responsible, loving, and all around just a great kid! Thank you for being mine Britt. I love you. XOXOXO

Debbie & Raul

We met at Calle Mayor Middle School at the end of Dean’s 8th grade year. On the last day of school, Dean and a friend were playing around and Raul, being the observant man that he is, asked which kid was mine, which is a reasonable question unless of course you had seen the other child! My reply was, “Oh I can tell you are a highly trained detective being you felt compelled to ask that question”. However, there was something about him that caught my attention, despite his highly trained eye. We didn’t see eachother until September when he was assigned as the Resource Officer for the south end. He was teaching classes for the DARE program and the kids in my class obviously needed to attend. I volunteered to be the one to take them, and of course needed to stay with them to make sure they behaved! Well one thing lead to another and the next thing I knew he invited me to go jet skiing at the river with a bunch of friends. I loved it immediately and I think he was impressed that I got on and never looked back. We dated for over a year when he asked me to marry him, by having me arrested for a unpaid seatbelt ticket (I’ll tell the entire story later).
