The Lord our God

2011-01-17T01:00:00.000-08:00

For a long time I fell from my life of worship. Within the past few months the Lord has opened my dark clouds with light. For 5 years I went away from the word and followed the world. I thought if I was living like a hooligan that I shouldn't have a double life. I will always be a "Rockabilly," chick , just not in the matter everyone perceives me. My favorite verse in the Bible is Proverbs 23, which explains the world and how it can catch up with you. I never found myself really taking it to heart, once my heart was re-opened and I wanted a change. That is where I found my light, hanging out with drunkards and not following the word. This place in which we live advertises to young men and women to drink. Love possessions and care less about what really matters. Which is life and the life after, I find it better to be saved then to live and act like a demon. I enjoy my life now, I read the word to my children and pray everyday. You can all have a good time without being crazy just open your hearts and find the love. Life is much better without all of the possessions the world has to offer.

Best Friends

2010-12-30T23:26:00.000-08:00

For the past few months I have acquired a great friend. In fact a best friend, how many people can say that? Honestly, since I was younger I never wanted to make new friends. I have always cared and loved the old ones to try. Katie has been great we talk all of the time and we have a lot in common. It is weird to know someone for a long time. Then become friends to eventually become best friends. We share the same common interests work, kids, religion. It is so hard to find that in other people let alone find a best friend at my age. Who agrees with me a hundred percent and I agree with her on the same level. Katie you have been an amazing friend to me and I am glad you are my best friend. I will talk to you tomorrow!! Love ya :)

Making Time

2010-02-21T21:33:00.000-08:00

Making time can be so easy; yet, there never seems to be enough time in a day for everything. I find myself wanting to do certain things that I eventually never do. I am now 6 days away from having our little girl and I could not be more excited! I find myself wanting to go back to the life I had before a second child. Believe me if you want kids, do it but, if you ever have a second thought then you probably shouldn't. It is a lot of work, the time you use to spend doing the most simple of tasks such as going to the store, reading a book, even computer time. It goes all out the window after having children. You place their needs before everyone else's I mean everyone. No one matters besides them, your friends who don't have kids or even your family members who don't have children. Will never understand- no one really ever does until they have one of their own. My husband and I are now deciding that with having a second child we aren't going to let her slow us down. We have missed out on things we probably could have done when our oldest was an infant. We were just too afraid or more cautious then we needed to be. I just hate that show 16 and pregnant! They glorify young women having kids and their parents taking care of them. I still watch it because I find it hilarious; how clueless and immature they are. Honestly, wait to have children; when you’re in a loving marriage. You know the person is always going to be there for you and support you through anything. Most of the time your 16 year old boyfriend or 18 year old boyfriend is and always will be child. What most young women don't know is that by the time a man is 40- they have reached the age of 25 and are semi mature. Even then it's cutting it a little close- men are young boys and there are only a select few that are actual men. That is why I am very pleased the military made my husband into a great man. He was a man before I married him and he is now even a greater man after. Men can never be sure about a lot of things in life but, the one sure thing they should be confident about is you and only you. Even though we don't get to cuddle every waking moment or run around naked making breakfast anymore. We make time for each other and the time we do have, is cherished and appreciated. We are both thankful for that.

It's been a while!

I just seem to get in and out of the whole blogging scene. Since I have nothing else to do and I read my BF Amber's blog and couldn't stop laughing. I figured I would post a little something myself. Well, as most of you know I am pregnant and have around 16 weeks left and life as I know it has been quite busy! When you are pregnant you go through a "nesting," stage. Since I have a little girl already I thought I knew what I was getting myself into?! With this one I am so military, everything neat, spotless, no dust, no trash and most of all nothing should be out of it's place! Any little thing drives me crazy, for instance; I was making dinner and putting the dishes away. When I found that the pot kept getting stuck on useless junk and on other pots and pans we don't use. I took everything out of the cabinet and threw most of it away! My husband calls me the pregnant Nazi! Which I would say is almost true except the whole "hail Hitler," BS!! Then one thing lead to another- I finished cleaning out our storage closet. Then to cleaning out our coat closet, to cleaning out our garage. Then our storage room in our garage, to the whole kitchen drawers and cabinets. Then cleaning out my daughters room, our room and both of our closets. I even cleaned out the linen closet and threw most of the old things away we haven't used. I know there is more I can do and I will. I have never in my life felt like the Jetson's robot Rosey, until now. It is weird and most of all the strangest thing I have ever done. With my daughter Grace I did laundry and the usual. This one is probably going to be more OCD then Grace. Who picks up little things off the floor only to throw it in the trash. Aren't kids suppose to eat crap off the floor? Not my kid!!
Eventually, it would have to be done; since we are a military family. Like my hubby says, I am crazy! :)
This time I will definitely agree with him 100%.

Cycling

2009-07-17T22:10:00.000-07:00

This picture is the model of my bike. Just a rather new model at that!

The color was exactly like the picture below.

I have had a lot of time spent on my back lately. Not for the reason you may think! I am enduring my second process of being pregnant. Even though the doctor proscribed me medication to help with my nausea it has made it worse. During this time I have been watching the Tour De' France. I love watching it, it brings back the freedom I had when I rode all through San Diego county when I was a kid. How much fun and excitement I had, I think about it everyday. When I was 20 I saved up a lot of money to buy a car and instead I bought a bike. 2004 Fuji SL-1 Shimano. She was the love of my life, I road everywhere and anywhere. I would beat my co-workers in traffic to work. When you live in sunny California you can pretty much ride everyday. I have spent most of my time thinking about riding again. My father currently has my old bike, along with all of my other belongings from college. So hopefully when he digs through some of my belongings he can send it my way. I know after our second child I want to start training again. Cycling was such a big part of my life, along with swimming & running. Since I've gotten older I have put it to the side. Doing an Iron Man would complete my life and I am sure if I trained for a couple of years I would get back to the way I use to be. All muscle instead of skin an bones! :) There's nothing wrong with that- I long for the the feel of the wind in my face and music in my ears. Hours upon hours of time to myself to be one with the road or water.

Family Picture

Grace, Derek, Me, Shelley, Nick, Liam, Nana & Pop-Pop

We just received our family portrait from my mother in law. We took this while we were on vacation in California. I miss our family so much, it is nice to know that photographs always savor your time with loved ones.

Hair & Makeup

2009-01-29T01:29:00.000-08:00

In today's society it seems as if women have let themselves go. Especially military wives, I can comment on this because I am a military wife. I understand that women today when they are of younger age. Dress up, fix their hair and put on some blush for a great night on the town. Then when it comes to getting married that all fizzles, especially after you have a child. Why is it that women of this generation have given up? No matter what I am wearing or if my makeup isn't on my husband says I'm beautiful. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah- for me I like to feel good about who I am, who better to do that then yourself! I know I have almost been married for 3 years and yes it is still early. I have known my husband since I was 12 years old! You do the math! I want to always be appealing to him, just because women today are married doesn't mean they should stop trying all together! I'm talking about the hair that isnt brushed and dirty sweats ( military wives!) Looking sexy makes all of the difference when your hubby comes home! He could be having the worst day ever and there you are looking your best, it brings a smile to his face! In the 1950's women made a statement of class, a mark on the world. Why do you think we all love the era? Women made us want to be like them to strive to be the best wife/ mother. What are women today? Just remember you don't have to do your makeup like you are going to the prom or your hair for that matter. Do you want to make a stamp on this generation just like the women in the 50's did to us? Just think about it! Make the world classic again!
