Happy Holidays!

Getting more and more excited...only 23 more days until Christmas. Is it too early to start the count down??
I love looking at the Christmas lights on the houses and the spirit of Christmas in the air. The 25 day countdown of Christmas movies on ABC Family is also a major plus for me because I get to watch a lot of holiday favorites.
This year is even more exciting since my daughter is at the age where she can kinda understand what is going on. I can't wait to see the excitement on her face as she opens her presents!!

This year we will be surrounded by tons of family and I can't wait to share it with all of them!!!

Thanksgiving weekend

On Thursday my husband, daughter and I headed down to Arvada to celebrate with my side of the family. We went out to eat at a yummy restaurant. I had a salad, a crab leg, lobster tail, stuffing, mashed potatoes and for dessert pumpkin pie.

On Friday I went shopping at Colorado Mills with my sister-in-law and niece. I bought some things at Bath and Body Works and continued to look around in the stores. We also hit Kohl's too. I was surprised that the mall and Kohl's weren't that busy but we didn't get out until about 9am.
Friday evening we went to see the Farewell of Riverdance at the Buel Theater. It was tons of fun!

Saturday headed back home and went to Avo's in the evening to go to a concert.

Sunday was my birthday and was greatly blessed with all of the cards and gifts from family and friends. So now I am 24 years old but it definitely doesn't feel any different from being 23.

I LOVE TO READ!!

I am reading P.S. I Love You again. I enjoy the book even though it is sad at times. But for those of you who haven't read the book yet I do recommend it. I think that it is definitely better than the movie.



I am almost finished with reading this book and then I am going to start reading Shanghai Girls. I received the book for an early birthday present. I have never heard of the author but it seems like a good book and I can't wait to start reading it.

If anyone has any recommendations for any other books I would love to hear of any good books. I am a book worm and just love to read!

Hello.....

So after a long time of not posting anything I have decided once again to try and start with writing again. I don't know how far I go with continuing this but I am going to try.

My new thing in my life right now is running. I have been going out to run 3 days a week and I have actually come to enjoying it. I look forward to the days when I get to go out and run. (Going with Nikki sure has helped A LOT with enjoying running too)
It helps to clear my head of things going on in my life and heck the endorphins that I get from running doesn't hurt either. My goal for next year is to run in a half marathon...my dream is to do the one is Walt Disney World. Don't think that I will have the money to get there though.

After 5 years of being out of high school and having to figure out what I want to do when I "grow up" I have decided that I want to be a teacher. I love the feeling that I will be able to help kids in learning new things and know that I have become of their learning process. So I am going to be enrolling for classes for the Spring semester!

Still Hope

Life passing by so fast
I just want to pause it for a sec
To hold on to that moment of hope

He says to me:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope

End of my rope coming near
As stress tries to cover
Me like a blanket

He says to me:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope

Hearing a song of hope
On the radio
Singing along to the tune

Hearing Him say to me still:
Keep holdin' on little girl for there is still hope

After the Rain

Stuck

I am stuck in a rut of being afraid of the unknown.
Not knowing what or where I will be
and what will end up happening
The future scares me at times.
I wish that I could just have a checklist that would tell me
what to expect.
Praying that things will turn out right.
And having to have faith that it does.
