Happily Married

When someone asks you "are you married?" What is your response? Well I would always say yes I am married..but one day while watching a movie don't remember which one..they said their is a difference between being married and happily married. And that got me thinking...am I married or happily married? If you think about it their is a difference between the two. You can be married and not be happy. Or you can be married and be happy. If you are married you know marriage requires a lot of work and their is a lot of up's and down's (more down's than up's) but if you have the WILLINGNESS to make it work you have it all! Remember if your marriage is made of three strands it can sustain anything that might come it's way. Allowing God to guide your marriage is essential! My marriage hasn't been the perfect relationship and we have had our share of issues..but I can now say I thank God for those struggles, arguments and problems because I learned to truly love my husband and appreciate what God has given me! Baby I love you more than words can say and actions can show! You have been my support..my motivation, my strength, my best friend the one who is willing to walk under the rain to reach that sunshine! And after 12 years of our relationship I can say I have learned and grown so much!! These past 7 years of our marriage have been a journey! And I wouldn't trade them for anything in the world! I can stand here today and tell you that I am happily married and thank God for your life! I am blessed to be your wife and can't wait to spend the rest of my life by your side! 12 years ago the touch of your hands made me feel as if I had reached the moon and the stars and 12 years later the touch of you has the same effect! Because not a day goes by that I don't fall in love with you! 

Proud Mother!!

I am truly honored to say that my son was part of an important event at his school. This is the first time his school participates with the CDI program and he made it to the advance dance team SWAT and he got the opportunity to perform at The Moss Theater! they help three performances in two days! i was amazed with the production, and felt so proud of my son!

This was a great opportunity for my son, and i know he enjoyed every second of it!

This is definitely one for the books! Everything you set your mind to and place in your heart you achieve! 

You shinned baby! and i don't have enough words to express what I feel! I am so proud of you!! and this is just the beginning of your journey! I love how you step out of your comfort zone and are willing to try everything! God has truly shinned his light on me! He has truly blessed us with your presence! we love you and daddy, Peesh and me are your biggest FANS! keep doing what your doing!! The sky is the limit! God bless you baby!

Thank you CDI for this amazing program! And for allowing my son to participate in this amazing event! keep working hard you are making a huge impact in the lives of the children!

Heart breaking!!!

This morning was hard for my Princess and me!! As a mother it crushed my heart! She had 4 teeth extracted!! My little one is such a strong little girl! She was not scared or nervous at all! I on the other hand was freaking out and nervous and ugh I was a MESS!!! Glad the procedure only lasted 10 minutes and she is now resting! Am blessed to be able to be by her side and help her recover! If it weren't for my husbands support I would probably be at work or something but instead I get to be home and take care of my princess!! I love you little mama and am gonna be here when you wake up!! Am trying my best to make you feel 100% again! You amaze me! You are so strong and courageous!! I have a lot to learn from you!! You went In there not fearing anything with a smile on your precious little face! I cried but you didn't see me! One day I will be like you mamita! 

Blessed Woman!

The heat was really bad today here in Los Angeles, CA. I felt like I was going to pass out. Ice cream was a must for us today! Overall our day went great. I went to my practicum site; the children had water play today (which they love). I received great compliments from my mentor and one of the teachers at the site. Am truly grateful to have been placed at this site. I have learned a lot and gained so much knowledge. It has been a wonderful experience. However its heart breaking to know that in a couple of weeks I will be leaving. Why are good byes so devastating?? I wonder why? I am truly going to miss my children and the teachers and my mentor! But I have gained 3 great role models and friends that’s for sure! 

After practicum I went to pick up my monkeys from school, took them to but ice cream!!! Woohooo!! (the highlight of our day) got to spend time with them, and listen to them about their day! This is very important for me! How I miss them!! Being a student, a mother, a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend is surely not an easy task! But I wouldn’t trade it for the world! God has truly blessed me! 

As I sit here now at 1:01am working on some homework, I came across this picture, and my heart stopped! My children are growing, a little too quick if you ask me! And this picture is very meaningful to me!! I am always working on my computer, because of school! And the reason I decided to pursue my career is to provide my children with a better lifestyle! I want to model positive behavior. If I could get my BA, why can’t they do it? What would stop them? 

Bubsy and Peesh…I love you babies with all my might!! And all I do, all that I am is because of you! School isn’t a piece of cake but it’s definitely worth the ride! I want to make you proud, and make all this worth fighting for! And when mommy has that BA degree in her hand, I will say you two earned that for me! I can’t forget my husband! Babe you are the most important person in my life! And I thank God for you! Thank you for your unconditional love and support! For helping pull through and encouraging me every step of the way! Those roses in this picture where given to me by the love of my life!! You are always showering me with love! Its things like these that make me fall head over heels for you amor!! Te amo mi cielo! 

To sum this up, I am truly a blessed WOMAN! Thank you Lord all mighty for you love, for you blessings!

Mommy Venting

Lately i have been feeling a little down. am not to sure what it is or how to explain my thoughts. i decided to write about it because am sure am not the only mom that deals with this. am a full time student and a full time mommy. i don't regret it, very grateful to be able to do both. however i feel as school has taken upon my mommy life. i feel as am rushing all day just to get homework  and projects done. and to be honest its beginning to be a stress upon me. i really miss my mommy days!! i want them back!! i want it to be just like it was before school came into my life!! what do i miss the most? these two precious angels! i see them everyday and still feel so far away from them. i know its for a good cause. it is important for me to get my career on track. set a good example. and i know it is all worth it. but as of now..my heart is aching a bit. only God can comfort me! Lord i need you to help me! guide me, set me straight!

Bubs and Peesh if one thing you can remember about me, remember this...

its because of you that i fight! its because of you that i have courage..its because of you that i have the willingness..its because of you that this is all worth it!! without you both i would be so empty and hopeless..God knew this and that is the reason you are here with me TODAY!! 

Someone say Hamburgers?!

About 2 weeks ago, my husband and I decided to make hamburgers. We have been trying to watch what we eat. However we love to eat some good FOOD...I mean who doesn't right?? Eating healthy does not mean to stop eating what you love. Here are some pictures of how we did our delicious hamburgers on the grill.

YUP....that looks mighty yummy..jejeje. They stayed perfectly well, did not fall apart. We did 8 minutes on each side. Don't touch them move, just let them sit for their 8 minutes. 

You can see the juices. Trust me its juices did not go anywhere. extremely juicy burger!!!

This was my set up. Had everything ready before the burgers were ready ;)

Here they are..our babies came out just perfect. After cooking them for 8 minutes on each side. i left them in the foil wrap about 4-5 minutes.

Tell me that doesn't look absolutely DELISH!!!! Healthy never look so good!!!

And just like that..here is our final product. Proud to call it our baby!! kids loved it. I felt good to place this yummy in my tummy and in my babies tummies!! Hubby was amazed and definitely in love with our hamburger. Enjoyed cooking with him, as much as i enjoyed eating this delicious hamburger! 

Have a blessed night! sweet dreams, until next time!!
