Christmas Day

This year has had many ups and downs.I lost my job,My father went in to the hospital two times.Though as rough as things got and as sick as I felt.I always reminded myself of the bigger picture and even though i felt at times that there was no light at the end of my tunnel.There was ! I did get another jog ,I did get myself almost completly out of debt, My father did come home .Yes he still has his bad days but he has also had some good ones.He makes me smile and laugh so hard sometimes my belly aches and those are the times I cherish and through faith in god and plenty of prayer we made it through this year! And for that I am truly grateful and happy !Here's to getting stronger and moving forth lets make this a grand 2012!!!!!










I am truly blessed to have my family.I am also so very thankful to be working again.I was able to buy gifts for my daughter.I know thats not what Christmas is all about.But for me to be able to afford things once again just made me feel good.We had so much fun baking and wrapping presents, even a trip to see Santa himself.Made this hoilday all the more joyous!

Christmas Eve

It's always been our tradition to open our gifts on Christmas Eve.Though tonight for the first night ever we our waiting till Christmas day. My sister went with her boyfriend Gabriel to spent it with his parents.We all are so very close and even though we see each other everyday we miss her!So we decided to wait until we are all together again =)








This Christmas has been especially busy. My mom commissioned a couple pieces from me to give as gifts as well as baking.I think they came out pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.












Wow this year has gone by sooo fast.I am finally on winter break from teaching and boy was I looking forward to it! The last few days have consisted of relaxing,wrapping gifts,secret shopping and peppermint frappachinos.I've been trying to enjoy every moment as I know it will be over in a blink.I an truly thankful for my wonderful family,My incredible friends and all the special moments we get to share together. Merry Christmas!!!!

Thanksgiving Happiness......

Halloween recap!

Hump day =)

I heard this on "parenthood" last night Great Show!!!!!

Sluggish and a little sleepy.

I don't know what it is,I'm feeling very slow and tired today.I didn't do any thing particularly tiring last night.I sometimes just need to remind myself it's OK to feel tired, it's OK to rest, it's OK to take a nap.I'm constantly running lists through my head of things I need to accomplish,deadlines I have to meet.Lists that sometimes seem so overwhelming!There's just never enough time in the day to do everything I would like to do.I found this picture and thought it was really cute.Plus it's kinda halloweenie.And that always makes me happy!So I'm off to force myself to relax.=)

October 1st Yipee!!!! ^v^ ^v^ ^v^

Last Sunday was spent in Old town Tustin.They hold a monthly flea market.Its so cute! It's held in this little promenade surrounded by antique and curiosity shoppes and I usually find 1 or 2 or maybe 3 things if the vintage gods are smiling down on me. =)
