so I was wondering what I could write about for the 2009 and I've come up with some pretty good ideas. the first thing i want to write about is the top 5 greatest places on the world for me, so far. here it goes
5. Austin, Texas - I can remember the first time I came to Austin. When I was in eighth grade, my cousin graduated from McNeil and their graduation was in Frank Erwin and I feel in love with place. When I moved here for good the beginning of my freshman year of college, I completely fell in love with the place. Although I don't want to raise my family here, I want all of my kids to consider going to school here (I think I decided I want my kids to go to UT or Ole Miss). I love Austin and everything that is has to offer. This is hands down, the best college town ever! It's small enough yet big enough to have loads of fun
4. My Grandma Cavazos' house - Ever since I can remember, I have always ALWAYS loved going over to her house and hanging out. When I was younger, I would ride my bike over there when I was bored at home and spend the night. I would always have such a great time over there. Something was always going on over there and I loved it and still love it. When I came down this break, I ended up spending an entire weekend over there just because. There is something about that place that I can't get enough of. I've probably spent 1000 nights over there.
3. Darrell K. Royal - Texas Memorial Stadium - DKR on a saturday night is unparalleled. I love Texas Football and I love DKR. I've seen almost every home game at DKR the past four years. I've only missed two and that was because of volleyball. I enjoy going to every game there and as a student, have only lost two games at home.
2. Camp Ozark - Without a doubt, this is one of my favorite places in the entire world. I lived at camp for three months and can't get enough of it. At first, it was hard adjusting back to "normal" life after that. I wanted to go back. I absolutely love everything about camp. I love/hate the cabins, love the ropes course, love the waterfront, love the lake, love everything. I hope and pray that that's where I end up this summer again. I'm glad knowing that the relationship I have with Ozark will always be there
1. Anywhere in the world where I'm with my entire family - Yep, this is my favorite place in the world to be. When I came home this break, I figured out that this is where I want to be, this is where I love to be. Most of the time this happens on Thanksgiving or Christmas or when its someone's birthday. I absolutely love my family. They may not be the smartest or the richest people in the world but I love them so much and I would love to be anywhere with them. I hope that one day, we can all be together in heaven. I think this might be my greatest wish.
So you now know my top five greatest places in the world. Now, it's your turn. Comment and let me know what yours are!

Hmm this is a tough one. Very inspiring though to stop and think about it. I would say my top 5 favorite places are:
5. The beaches of Playa del Carmen- I love being in the sun, feet in the sand, swimming in the ocean, or hiking while soaking up the language. I love everything about a beautiful beach.
4. A really good bookstore- I love how comforting a bookstore is. I always go to one when I am stressed out, lonely, or bored, or sometimes when I am just curious for a new knack to read up on. I was in a Barnes & Nobles in fact when I got the phone call my grandmother had finally passed away. I say finally because she was very ill, and took many days to pass on. I stayed with her for 3 days and then my parents sent me back to school. I then went to the bookstore. I was there when my Mimi found peace with God.
3. Texas A&M- I love everything about campus and College Station (just like you love Austin.) I love the buildings, the trees, the traditions, the sounds, the people, and the familiar spots. I have memories at many spots on campus that I love. My favorite 2 places there were being at Kyle Field while the 12th man roared, or laying in the grass under the oak trees outside the Oceanography building with the sun on my face. Ahhh happy days!
2. Anywhere where Kyle is- I have found the love of my life (I found him in favorite place #3 due to favorite place #1. I love our weekends together, errands, cleaning his house, adventures, laying around, watching movies, and anywhere I can see him smile. Anywhere he is, is where I want to be. (sorry for the sappy love goo, but it is all true. I had to put it. :-) )
1. With my entire family- You are right. There is nothing like Family. I love when my whole family is together. We are loud and exciting in an almost annoying kind of way. Everyone is usually telling stories and laughing, or cracking jokes. I love the sounds of family. The comfortness. The friendliness. The warmth. The love. Family get togethers are the #1. I hope I have just of a loud and crazy bunch when I have a family of my own some day!
Thanks for the thought provoking Hector. Makes you realize the little things we are grateful for. Thanks be to to God!
