We are very proud of our two 2006 graduates: Sheila and Andrea. We are ready to help them pursue their dreams... Love, Mom & Dad

Sheila graduated from high school on May 26, 2006. She enjoys writing, teaching and reading..lots of books..Right now she wants to be either a grammar school teacher or editor of "Latina Magazine." Sheila established a portfolio of articles last summer when she was a Jr. Reporter for an Aurora-based newspaper. Her plans are to attend Joliet Junior College for two years and finish at UIC in Chicago. Currently she works part time at Harris Bank, and at the Joliet Public Library.

Andréa graduated from Troy Middle School Jr. High on June 5, 2006. All Andréa talks about is that one day she would like to attend Columbia college and pursue a career as a choreographer. Andréa loves to dance...dance...dance...and to add to this, she wants to also get her degree in business administration so that one day she can open her own dance studio.....

Dear Family: I want to thank family members who supported me by walking by my side on May 7, 06! They are my mom, dad, Monica, Veronica, Jessica, my husband, my daughter Isela, Aunt Vickie, Aunt Chris, Uncle Emo, Michelle, Johnny, Aunt Mary, Uncle Paul, Victoria, Sandra, and Christina Ramirez. I am proud to say that we had 39 people who walked and we have so far raised $3,320.00 for the National MS Society!!! And we are not stopping there! Aunt Vickie is our highest so far, in raising $320.00!! Thank you for everyone's support and if you are interested in still donating we are taking donations until June 30th!!! So contact your favorite team member and donate on their behalf!! Also if anyone is interested in lacing up your walking shoes to join us in the fight to end the devastating effects of MS next year save May 6, 2007 on your calendar!! I will be starting to form a team in the beginning of September!!!

Congratulations to Cecilia Reyes and Gerardo Mayorga on their wedding, which took place on February 24, 2006!

Congratulations to Omar and Silvia Salgado on the purchase of their first home in December 2005! Their new contact information can be found on the directory page.

Dear Family: I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!! I love you all and coming into the New Year I want everybody to focus on their health and their life! Enjoy life because it is too short to lose one bit of it. Don't sweat the small stuff, that’s what I learned last year! If you are not all aware of my situation, I was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I have finally learned to cope with what I have (with the help of my loving family, mom, sisters, and dad!). I apologize if the family was not informed earlier, but it’s not like its great news to brag about! I am doing well I will add. My point is before I was diagnosed I would get mad or all heart broken for every little thing. Someone would say no kids and I would get all mad cause I knew I wouldn't be able to get a sitter. Well now it’s like ok, well more time with my children their will be other parties we can attend as a family. I realize that life is too precious to not enjoy it (the right way). So please when you get all upset for no reason, remember that their are people suffering a lot worse then you are. People that don't have homes (Katrina victims), heroes that couldn't be home with their family for the holidays (Iraq Soldiers), and children that don't have parents to spend the holidays with!! Well hope you have a great year and god bless you & your family. Also I will be walking my first fight against MS walk on May 7, 2006. If any of the family wants to join my team, it will be a 3 mile walk round trip. Or you can donate any funds to the MS national society. Let me know if either of the choices interests you? Thank you anyways!! Love Always, -- Jennifer Ibarra and Family

May God Bless those who could not spend this holiday with us Grandma Thonia (My kids call grandma that), Anthony aka Perk, Tia Chuie, Tia Jaunia's husband( Tio), and all family & in-laws that are not mentioned!!!!
