I wanted to write about why I changed my sign off from

xoxo

to

xxO

I have always signed my letters, card, text, etc. 

xoxo

a few years ago a t.v. show called gossip girl started. at the end of the show the narrator  says 

"xoxo gossip girl."

i do not want to be lumped into a category with gossip girl (um no thanks) so it got me thinkin' i needed a change.

so i decided to change to 

xxO

here's why

i married into a european family.

each time we meet up (and it could be ten times a day) or say goodbye  we great each other with kisses and a hug.

we kiss each other on the right cheek

we kiss each other on the left cheek

and then we give each other a great big hug.

it's so sweet. 

SO,  xxO makes sense to me. it's my everyday! we see our family A LOT!

BLESSED

now, when i greet my side of the family i always give them a kiss on their right cheek and go for the left cheek next. they all look at me like i'm CRAZY. whatev. when i do it to my grandma she gets super excited and says "oh i feel special" umm hello you. are. special. she's 91 and a half and she is gorgeous inside and out.

me, my gram, my cousin kristin & my baby bro!
this was her big 9-0 birthday dinner
yep! that's my grandma's beer. however miller lite is not her fave miller high life is. it was my grandpa's  fave
so i think she drinks it to feel closer to him he passed away almost 40 year ago :-(yep! those are mariachi's in the back ground that's how we roll!
i even had a mariachi trio at my big fat greek wedding. ha
more on that later.

that's 3 generations of enriquez women right there
me, my gram, & my momma

sorry i got off track for a second and threw in pics of me, my grandma & family. 
but now you know my little story about xxO


i didn't forget that i was telling you 
"OUR STORY"  
time to get real... part 3 planning the wedding. will be coming soon.
stay tunned

xxO
