Main Event – Ft. Lauderdale 2024

| gundara

Nick won his 9th Main Event with One Main in 2023. To celebrate the company sent us to Ft. Lauderdale, Florida for a 3 day event to honor the 200 employees out of 9,000 who made the cut! We stayed at the HardRock Guitar Hotel. It was absolutely lovely and as usual we extended our stay by an extra day to make the most of the trip!

We arrived a day ahead of schedule but most of Saturday was spent traveling. On Sunday we enjoyed a lovely brunch at RISE *excellent Orange Juice, followed by registration and then a relaxing afternoon by the pool sipping Pina Coladas. That evening we freshened up and headed to the welcome reception garden party hosted poolside at the hotel. 2 of Nick’s managers made the trip as well (Brenda & Ish, Randy & Theresa) read more

December 2023 – Other Cute Memories

| gundara

December is alway jam packed with adventure and fun celebrating the closing of another year. Sometimes I can’t categorize all the great memories so below is bundling of a few more moments that were precious. Nani and Nana hangout time with Aanika. Tina got engaged! Aakash and Jatin truly share the same blood line *it shows in their amazing moppy hairstyles! Jatin LOVES to bulk and gets caught eating a lot! Aanika did a little Christmas shopping. Jatin went to the Winter Formal with his best friends *the future leaders of America (what I like to call them). Baby Gia is the cutest little butterball ever!! I discovered a series of amazing selfies from my beautiful husband on my phone 🙂 Kai, Jace, Gia and Brody shared their Christmas Morning photos. They are all such cutie patooties! I created a waffle bar for one of our pre-Christmas evening gifts. Nick and Aanika cuddled and had lot’s of silly moments. Jatin started to shave on his own!! Happy December! read more

Puneet’s Wedding To Dominic 2023

| gundara

We had an amazing week right after Christmas celebrating the wedding of Puneet to Dominic. Lot’s of dancing, partying, dressing up and catching up with family. Highlights below starting with the Sangeet.

Jatin got to spend half the week at his Dadiji’s house and embarked in all kinds of Shenanigans with Aakash, Kirat and Kadam who were visiting from England for the wedding! The craziest thing was them jumping into a freezing cold pool in the middle of winter!! TEENAGERS!! We also hosted the family over for a hangout, casual dinner. Amrita and I took Kirat and Aki for their first manicure and pedicures ever 🙂 Jatin performed one of his original pieces on piano for the family as our after dinner entertainment and the kids enjoyed the arcade. Aanika of course LOVED having the family and most of all her precious Amrita Bua over for a visit. read more

Christmas 2023

| gundara

Christmas this year was lovely. As I was starting to pull out all my holiday decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving we realized the lights were no longer working. Jatin and Nick went out to run some errands and surprised me with a fully built snow flocked slim tree that fits perfectly next to the fireplace in the family room!

We hosted and attended a few Holiday themed hangouts including our yearly neighborhood Christmas party (Donna & Manny hosted this year), Gingerbread decorating with Geeta & Devi & Usha Didi and this year I decided to host the Band Mama’s over the first week of Holiday break. We also got a visit from Jannavi Masi and Sheila Masi and Nick attended the boy’s annual holiday dinner party at the club with Bob & old school friends. read more

Thanksgiving 2023

| gundara

We had a lovely Thanksgiving. Kickstarted the day at mommy and daddy’s for brunch and then had a quiet dinner at home in the evening. We have so much to be thankful for but most of all I feel blessed to have my family near me to hug and cherish everyday.

Disneyland 2023

| gundara

Nick asked “What do you want for your birthday?” Well…haven’t been to Disneyland since before the pandemic…:) heheh. Well the two of us headed to Disneyland for 2 days and California Adventure for the third day. It was certainly an adventure!

First off I must give a lot of love and credit for my amazing partner in crime and best friend…he’s not a Disney nut like I am but has supported this obsession of mine for over 20 years! Everything is done from an app now and I mean everything…from booking rides, reservations, food pickup, shopping checkout. While all of that was overwhelming and drained my battery … one fun thing was the use of AI immersed in your camera as you took selfies throughout the lands! read more

Jatins 16th Birthday!

| gundara

Hard to believe that our first born beautiful baby turned 16 years old this year! He continues to impress us with his vision, kindness, determination for excellence and love. We are so proud of the young man he’s become and can’t wait to see what’s around the horizon. Happy Birthday Jatin!

Nick was traveling this year on Jatins birthday so we postponed Jatins party with his friends for a few weeks. He had a lovely group of guys over and co-celebrated with twin brothers who also share an October Birthday. read more
