Pushing The Limits

This time I am really pushing the limits. I have two weeks to come up with three different papers and things are not looking good. Actually the final copy of one of the papers isn’t due until the 2oth, but I still need to come up with some kind of draft by the 9th. On the one hand… Continue reading Pushing The Limits

Joy

It’s been an overwhelming past few days, not in a negative way though. So many beautiful things have happened and the emotion is so overwhelming that I don’t quite know what to do with it. You know that pain you feel when you’re heartbroken or something very bad has happened? Well I feel the depth… Continue reading Joy

Let It Go

My dad likes to say that expression often and I remember sometimes hearing that would only further bother me and I would want to just roll my eyes because I would think to myself, sometimes it is just not that easy. But why is it that we want to hold on to feelings of frustration,… Continue reading Let It Go

Adventures of Biggie the bulldog

The Beast Strikes Again

Whenever my husband and I get home after an evening out we usually see our little bulldog Biggie coming toward us to say hello the minute we open the door. The funny thing is he does quite the opposite when he’s been mischievous. It’s a great way to know what he’s been up to. The… Continue reading The Beast Strikes Again

Excellent Movie: “I Am” directed by Tom Shadyac

My husband and I saw the movie “I Am” tonight and loved it, it’s an excellent movie that reminds you to reflect on how it is that you want to live your life and treat people and also to ask yourself where your heart is. What truly matters in life is not competition, greed, and winning…it’s… Continue reading Excellent Movie: “I Am” directed by Tom Shadyac

Wandering Thoughts

It’s pretty amazing to me how one small little thought in our minds has the capacity to spread out all over the place like a meticulously created web that traps you in. My husband and I were talking about it this morning and he gave me a perfect example of exactly this kind of thought process. He said it’s like this Zen cast he had been… Continue reading Wandering Thoughts

Understanding Limitations and A Good Attitude

It’s been a busy few days since I last posted and we got back from vacation. What I’ve been struggling with most is feeling so tired at times. Yesterday was my first day back at school and at the end of the day as much as I wanted to get started on a list of things I need… Continue reading Understanding Limitations and A Good Attitude

Godparents

Today my husband and I baptized my cousin’s daughter, Miranda, with her boyfriend/partner. My mom and cousin did such an exceptional job with the decorating, organizing, and food. I’ll share some pictures tomorrow, especially the ones of me dressing Miry because I have nearly no experience with this and thankfully Miry was very cooperative with… Continue reading Godparents

Traveling And Appreciating What You Have

After a long day of travel my husband and I got home last night at 10pm, exhausted and so happy to walk through our door and get that feeling of home. I can’t even explain it but maybe some of you have felt it, it’s like a loving hug. Our flight from Paris to Los Angeles… Continue reading Traveling And Appreciating What You Have
