Bye-Bye

She came, we partied, she left and now we will miss her!
Love you Angie, it was great getting to know you. I will miss all the senseless giggling at nothing and the good times. Come back some day, we'll go out and dance on table tops and get free margaritas. Take care of yourself and don't let anyone make you feel anything less than you are. Have fun in your new home! Smooches and hugs!!!!

So many thoughts!

Sometimes I wish there were a pause button that you could press that would still the every constant thoughts that buzz through your head.I wish I could just press it and find release from the mirage of details that fly through my mind on a regular bases. Being the practical person that I am I can never really truly enjoy the moment cause I'm constantly thinking about the consequences or how long it will last, or what needs to happen next. But if this magical pause button did exist I could just pause those thoughts and enjoy the moment and than when I need to think again I could turn it back on and return to earth. Someday some really smart handsome person will invent this, and than they will get rich and famous and live in a mansion with gold toilet seats and I will come to them and thank them profusely and than we will get married and live happily ever after. ( Yes this is my fantasy, and gold toilet seats is a big part of it.)

On the road again!

Yep yep, I have once again heard the call of the road and followed. I am gone on a week long road trip with Paul and Carmen, I'm excited it been awhile since I've been out of the house so it will be nice to get a break. Pray for us that all goes well and that our fundraising and follow-up is fruitful!

Love is giving someone the chance to break your heart but trusting that they wont.

Is it done yet.

I have been having the longest week in the history of the world, and its still not over. Don't ask me how this is possible I've been told that time moves at the same passe no matter what but I swear to god someone pushed the slow mo button on this week. I'm closing my eyes just tell me when its over....

Any way keep my sis in your prayers, shes still suffering from high blood pressure. Love you tans!

Totally Mushy Post!

Someday ( and I hope this is sooner rather than later) I want to love someone so completely and totally, I want to love despite the possibility of hurt, I want to look into there eyes and in that look be able to feel complete. I want to put myself out there and in the end gain the other persons love, I want to find a love that cannot be chalked up to infatuation. I want to let myself go and enjoy the ride of a relationship wherever it may take me. Someday, I will, for now I will content myself to being single.

Yo-Yo!

I feel like I'm on the Yo-Yo string of emotions, I have been going up and down and all around and its making me sick. I just want it to stop I want to just be at peace to calm my whirlwind of thoughts and just relax breath in and out. One day I feel on top of the world, the next I feel like I
I'm in the deepest darkest pit, I hate this!

Pics from CHEA!

Pics from the 4th!

Falling apart one piece at a time!

My Jaw is killing me right now I woke up the other day with it and it seems to be getting worse I haven't eaten solids in two days and its hurts to talk or even smile. Please pray for it to go away whatever it is and that it will be soon.
For now I will praise the lord for all the weight I will be losing from not eating, PTL!!

But for now just rejoice with me, Tania and Devon congrats you'll be great parents I'm sure, love you both!!!

Blogging old news?

It is sad that new things like twitter, face book, and all sorts of other nonsense is taking over the blogging world all of the best blogs are closing due to the new face book craze. But fear not my blog readers I shall not desert you I shall remain faithful until the bitter end. Which I'm sure there will be do to the alarming rate of blogs that are dying out, why do things have to change? Why do we feel the need to abandon a perfectly good form of commuicating? Stay with me dear fellow bloggers we must keep the blogging circle alive!

CHEA!

I'm Back in Cali for a weekend of seminaring, other wise known as attending CHEA. I made it through the first day despite being dead tired ( I had insomnia the night before and only slept for about an hour) I enjoyed it. The only downside to attending seminars like this is that there is just so much imput that you end up not really being able to absorb it all and on top of that you feel like a totally faliure as far as homeschoolers go. Its like being caught in a spot light stark naked in the middle of a full stadium. But its all good I will walk away from this better for it, I have a hunch.

Weekend!!!

I just got back from San Diego where I went to visit my older brother for the 4th of July weekend, and can I just say I truly miss living in the states where I can walk out my door and actually understand what the heck everyone is saying. But you know PTL, I had fun we had a nice BBQ right by the pool and it was actually hot enough to want to swim which is a definet plus. It was a nice family get together, best of all my mom is coming down here next week which makes me jump for joy, I almost can't wait!!! ( Yes, I am a mommies girl, and I'm not ashamed of it.)

Anyway I'll try and commandeir the pictures from Prom's cammara so you can see me in all my ugly glory.

Another birthday post!

Happy Birthday Sis!!!! I love you, hope you have an amazing year and that everything works out for you. I miss you and the little bunchins, your in my prayers make sure the little guys don't forget me. Love and prayers, Smoooch!!!

Fruit Picking!

Yesterday was the singles WNR so we went out to this ranch to pick some fruit, it was kinda like the garden of Eden minus the nakedness and anything besides the fruit. I was expecting something far worse from the stories I heard it sounded like a desert with knee high thorn bushes and dirty ugly mangy guard dogs, mixed in with piles of old metal and junk, and snakes every where, but it was quite nice in a rustic way with tons of fruit trees with this wonderful lushes fruit hanging on the branches. Well since I'm not very good at describing I will post pictures.

The happy fruit pickers, excuse the ugly one in the middle she likes to stick her head into pictures every so often just to ruin them.




See what I'm saying about luscious fruit.



And beautiful landscape.

Birthday Lunch!

On my Birthday my older sister took me out for lunch which was nice, we had fish taco's which I had been very leary of eating as I'm very much not a fish person, but surprisingly enough there were pretty good. After that we went to a little place for these Popsicle stick thing's I forget the name, and my lovely sister and Ana decide to embarrass me by singing happy birthday nice and loudly. But other than that it was very nice, thank you timna!

Rewards!

(Dad:) "Sure, the life of a disciple, the life of a missionary, is not an easy one. I'm the first to admit that! But I'm also eager to add that you'll never regret living a life of sacrifice. What you gain in return is so much more weighty, so much more glorious, so much more rewarding than anything you ever gave up, that it almost makes you ashamed that you ever flinched about having to give something up for the Lord. I'll tell you what, when I was received into the gates of Heaven, I fell down on my knees and told the Lord that I was unworthy. Everything that the Lord gave me was worth a million times a million times more than anything that I'd given up in my life on Earth! (Note: When Dad says 'a million times a million times,' that's not a typo or a mistake but an actual indication of the size of his reward!...)" (3186:38-39)

Editor: Here's a mathematics exercise:

A million times a million is a trillion. How much is a trillion-fold return on your investment?

* If you give up one second of pleasure....

...you get back 31,700 years of pleasure.

* If you give up one minute of pleasure...

...you get back 1.9 million years of pleasure.

* If you give up a penny...

...you get back 10 billion dollars.

* If you forgo a date or a mate...

...well, you get the idea!

Three Years and Counting!

This Day marks the three year anniversary of my blog!!!! Its been a happy and good three years as I look back I am proud of what has filled these pages, there are a few posts I wish I hadn't posted but overall it has fulfilled its job which was to inform my family of what I'm up to, share the things I thought were beautiful or interesting, and just overall be there when I needed it which it has been. I want to try and keep this blog for a good while longer ( quite possible my entire adult life) just so someday when I'm old and grey I can look back on the posts I did when I was fifteen, when I had my first kid, when I got married, etc. Anyway so hurray for blogs and all there niceties!!!!
