Update!

Well it sure has been a while since I've poured out my heart on this blog!! I guess the truth is, with Facebook, it's so much easier to say what you are doing and move on. You don't have to sit here...thinking what to write! But these past few months I have been through some tough times in my life and I have chosen not to "expose" my self on fb, twitter, or myspace anymore. I've been hurt by many things ppl have said to turn things I have written into something I did not mean to say. It's amazing to see how some ppl feed off of these posts and make them into something they are NOT!! And at the end of the day, I really don't care what anyone has to say about things I choose to post or not, but I would rather close doors that can cause ppl to rumor! It's all good, I chose to learn from this and move on, I was affected but I'm not going to dwell on it! I know, ppl will be ppl and some just truly can't help it. Gotta just love them anyway, but close some doors along the way. Our pastor here at church said the other day, we should try not to talk to ppl who never have anything positive to say. And when you think about who you are talking to in your daily life and realize that some ppl are just criticizing and pointing fingers ALL the time, you just got to cut the cord. Its so tough sometimes but, hey, you gotta do what you gotta do.
I have entered a new level of closeness with Christ and I just want to elevate to be closer and closer to Him...I don't want any distractions and I think I'm getting rid of some of them :) God has been soo amazing to me, He has opened my eyes to so much more than I could have ever imagined and like never before want more and more of Him. I don't claim to be the perfect person but I am trying to be a better person each and every day.
Today we had an amazing presentation of our "Noche Mexicana" with choir. I think it sounded amazing! I received many compliments on how we sounded and am very pleased with how well everyone did. I am thankful to God for His presence in my life tonight...He is so sweet and amazing and I love feeling Him with me!
I miss my hubby soo much!!!! He is in WA for harvest, left around the 6th of September, so he has been gone 2 weeks tomorrow. I hope the next few weeks passes super fast so he can be home soon!! I am so thankful that my kids are doing well and have been very healthy and have been doing well in school.



This is a family picture we took at Aaron's 3rd Birthday party.

Dear Blogspot...I wanna go home!

Love,

Summer time in Washington 2010

Soooo I've so been slacking on my blogging...I really need to try to stay on track!! Well, I'm here in WA enjoying my summer with my mom and dad and Eric. This year has been more eventful than last summer here. I really have been having a great time, we've gone to silverwood, then to tri-cities several times, aquatic center twice and to Orman's pool once. Today dad got a 4 ft pool from craigslist!! It's soo cool and I'm soo looking forward to swimming in it! We set it up today and had a bbq, it was nice.
As for my kids, they are just having a ball!!! They love it here! Vianney told me she wanted to stay here for school!! I'm ready to head home, I just have lots of things on my mind, like lil' Hector's therapy's and school registrations for the kids...getting ready for school to start and Aaron's party. I wanted to start choir soon...we'll see how it goes.

My birthday!!

So the 3rd was my 33rd Birthday!! Yay me!! Lol, just a little minor excitement there! I really don't feel that old but I'm totally excited to be this old and have received as many blessings in my life as I have. God has been so good to me and I am grateful for His abundant love for me. My day was good, I went to the gym in the morning and went out for a lunch date with my honey at Chili's where they brought me an amazing desert that I'm still drooling over! Check it out!! Mmmmmmmmmmmm...


So this is my hubby and I on our lunch date!



Then I finished off the day by going to church and giving a class to my "Girls Only" class in church...it was a good day :) Thanks to everyone who called, text or sent me messages on Myspace and FB...made me feel super special =)

Been a while! But I'm back =)

Can't believe it's been so long since I've made time to sit and blog!! I guess sometimes you get so caught up in the everyday of life to sit and type. I have had an amazing past few months! So much has happened to me that I can not begin to write it down or explain! God has blessed me with soooo much and I am everyday more and more grateful to Him! My kids have been through many ups and downs with sicknesses since last year but nothing major, they have all been doing great in school and that is much to be grateful for. My hubby had his birthday in November 09 and we spent it in Mexico which was a lot of fun, took him for his birthday to "Las Enramadas" it seems to be becoming a tradition because we have done it for his birthday for years now...here is a couple pictures from that day...





Then December was fantastic because I got to have my parents here and that's always a big part of my year, I don't get to have them all year so I really enjoyed the time we got to spend together. Christmas was busy with choir and all but I didn't have to do much because it was only extension choir who sang in Mex and we were all practiced already. January 5th was my bro-in-law Josias' wedding and that came out good then after that Hector started work again. Can't complain God has been so good to us and He has also given me a need to seek Him more this year. I've been trying to give God the best of me and instead of quantity, quality. I have decided to let go of some jobs I've had in church, I've let my Sunday school class go and my G.O. class go because I have felt I need to give 100% to choir this year. I love to work for the Lord in all I can but I don't want to give less because I have more, does that make sense? Well it seems to be the right thing to do at this moment and unless God tells me otherwise that's the way it will be. I have some great plans for choir for Easter and am planning a nice drama musical this year that I want to make super impacting!! I'm very excited for this new year and what it has in store for me. :)
I've also been working out at the gym for a few months now, I started in October, having done some "Slim in 6" for over 7 weeks and got no results I decided to go to the gym instead. That started out great, I lost 5 lbs the first month, 5 lbs November and then I was off for over 3 weeks in December and gained 3 lbs!!!!! So I started again the middle of January and am hoping for results. I must admit I have lost some will power and feel like giving up but I think it's due to the fact that I haven't been sleeping well lately, I need to be more careful of the time I am going to bed because I feel the lack of energy when I am not well rested. I definitely need to work on that!! I promise to do my best and see if I have results.
Anywho, I just wanted to mention that I have been blessed with the best kids ever and the most wonderful, amazing, loving, incredible, handsome, funny, caring, husband ever!! I Love You and thank God for your existence!! Thank you for being you and all you do for me and our family, don't ever change!!!! Muah!!







True Love Always =)

Es una aventura Dios mio....

Y es una aventura conocerte,
caminar y obedecerte, y vivir por ti.
Es una aventura estar contigo,
caminar y ser tu amigo, y vivir por ti.
Y es una aventura cada dia si te tengo a ti,
si te tengo a ti.

Es una aventura, el mar puedo cruzar,
camino sobre el agua, si tu conmigo vas,
es una aventura cruzar por el umbral,
que lleva a lo imposible si tu conmigo vas,
Si tu conmigo vas.

Es una aventura que no acaba,
al confiar en tu palabra y seguirte a ti,
es una aventura cuando creo sin importar
lo que yo veo por que estas ahi,
es una aventura cada dia si te tengo a ti,
si te tengo a ti.

Es una aventura, el mar puedo cruzar,
camino sobre el agua, si tu conmigo vas,
es una aventura cruzar por el umbral,
que lleva a lo imposible si tu conmigo vas,
Si tu conmigo vas.



Te amo Señor.

Back to school...

Wow, it's been 3 weeks since the kids started school and I still have not had the time to sit down and update my blog!! I really need to start disciplining myself to do this more often. Well, my internet was down for over 2 weeks and I'm barely getting my routine down again. Kids have been doing great, I'm especially proud of lil' Hector because he received his first progress report and he is doing great he's averaging a b+!! I was also busy with our 16 de Sept cantata with choir, we got ready in 2 weeks but it came out great!!! I am so greatful to God for that! It's been so good to be back home, we've had some ups and downs but God is good! Kids have been doing good, haven't had any emergency meetings for kids being bad at school, so that's a good thing ;) Weather has been totally weird, wants to rain but it doesn't. Haven't had too much rain this yr, we should be getting some this week. Nothing like the past 4 yrs. Missing my hubby like crazy, he's in WA awaiting the potatoes to start and will probably be there for the next month... :( Well, that's it for now...
