Everyone knows I love to clean. I found the PERFECT website for cleaning supplies!!! Actually a lady gave me her catalogue and I feel in love (and ordered about £50 worth of stuff of course) hehe

R.I.P. *Joaquin Reyna* (Papa)
Today marks the 2nd anniversary of my Grandfather's death. I grew up in my Grandparents house, so I was very close to him. I miss his witty sense of humor and his funny remarks. He was the smart cookie of the family. Everyone would go to him for advice or to fix stuff (he could fix anything) I think he liked that- it made him feel important, which he was.
He was the first person I've ever lost close to me. He had lung cancer which ended up moving into his brain. It was very hard to see him deteriorate like he did. I felt so helpless and wanted to comfort him, but there was nothing I could.
He's in a better place now, peaceful. He was 78 when he passed. My Grandmother looks to the bright side and says he lived a long eventful life. Good to know! :)
I miss you Papa and love you lots!

Triskaidekaphobia
This is "The fear of Friday the 13th". I'm not superstitious, but I thought this article was interesting.

I need to get in a good mood
I don't want to sound like a whiny baby, but man do I miss everyone back home. I can't get out of this mood. Everyone tells me what a great opportunity we have to be here. I think it's a good opportunity too (especially with the traveling), but nothing replaces family and friends. I feel like I'm missing out on my nephews and nieces growing up. Will the little ones even know who their Auntie Nic & Uncle Patrick are when we come home next year? I'm missing out on our puppy growing up and our grouchy cat with his moody ways. We just bought a house before we moved over here and we can't even decorate and enjoy it. whine, whine, whine... get over it nicole!! LOL
I think my main problem is that when we lived in Dallas I was on the run all the time. So I went from a busy bee to having absolutely nothing to do. I'm trying to keep myself busy with my new cooking blog, cleaning the house and online shopping. hehe It's amazing what shopping will do to your attitude. :)
If you are reading this, please know I miss you and it would be great to hear from you!!!
Love,
Nic

Missing my Hubby
Patrick is in Dublin Ireland for a week with work. Since we are literally together 24/7, at first I thought kewl, I'll be able to veg for a few days and will have some me time. Well, today is the first day he's been gone, a little over 12 hours and I miss him!!!! I guess I can say, I'm addicted to my hubby. LOL :)
