Oh Christmas tree, Oh christmas tree.

Okay so like i promised here an actual post of what has been happening the last week or two. It has actually been to hectic to even collect my thoughts.

First of all I want to tell you all about Disney on Ice. It was Magical. Thats about the only word I can put with it. I went with my two Spanish second families. Well two of them were pretty much my actual family. The youngest that came with us was 16. I actually felt like a child again. I got so excited for every part and think I took like 300 photos. Which reminds me, I need to go through and post those.I wanna go every year. It reminds me of Disneyland. Which is truely the happiest place on earth.

I decided a few days ago that I want to go to Disneyland at christmas time with the 5 of us. Because those are seriously my three favorite things. Its not going to happen. Don't get me wrong I am going again. But when I go next it will be a road trip in the summer so we can take the coast highway hit the beaches do some surfing, [which I will hopefully be learning to do this summer on our island roadtrip], and do some camping.

Speaking of christmas, I am in bliss everyday. I love the EVERYTHING about christmas.

Well except how the economy has made its this 'gimme gimme gimme' season.

But I love that my family or friends are not like that.

I love spending that extra time with people in cozy environments.

And for me especially is the ferry trip on christmas eve then getting to my Nana and Papa's and watching Santa Clause 1.

Nothing beats Santa Clause 1. The others cannot compare, therefor I refuse to watch them. Then spending time with my family usually just doing nothing but relaxing for about a week. Christmas is honestly my favorite thing in the world besides Jesus. I think thats why I love christmas so much aswell is because it is all about Jesus and should be. Was just gonna go off on that, but I think i'll save that for another post in a few days.

Ending on a lighter note. I learnt the coolest thing last night. I downloaded an app for my phone that lets me control my Itunes. I have so far been using it to confuse the heck out of my family. I'm going to play tricks on my brother when he gets home from work. Its pretty sweet, Technology is amazing.

This would be my Dream

Disneyland at Christmas

You are my strength, Strength like no other.

I feel like sometime I put my prayers in here. This is like my journal so it works.

Today was...I don't even have words. I don't know how on earth I got through the last few days...well actually I do. God. Thank you for the strength over the last two days to be full of energy and be able to do everything with my all...except for sleeping that is.

I'll post tomorrow about what ever has happened over the last few days, cause theres one thing in particular i wanna blog about :)

Good night peaceful evening. I bid you farewell although I would love to soak you up.

And if our God is for us, then who could ever stop us

This morning i was thinking alot while sitting on the bus. Thinking so much actually that i missed my stop and had to walk back one. Anyways this was the conclusion of my clutter of thoughts. This last month has been so overly busy I have felt like i put God in a bubble if you know what i mean. Went on everyday kinda feeling like i wasn't relying on him and praying as much as i usually do. Looking back on the last month i came to an important realisation; even though I may not have felt totally intune with god, because i was so busy i was just able to trust my god instinct. I didn't over analyze, let my mind get in the way, I was fully just listening to what he was nudging me to do. Over the last few weeks the verse "My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness." 2Corinthians 12:9 has really stood out in my life. I don't even know how i finised all my assignments and made time for everything that needed to get done on top of work 30 hours in a week, between last saturday and thursday i had a total of 12 hours sleep in 6 days i was truly running on god and I hardly even realised it.









And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who can ever stop us

She's leaving on a jet plane..nope; she's already gone

Okay so its actually been forever.
So i'll just dive right in.

The last few weeks have by far been some of the busiest i've ever had. From Saturday to thurday i had a total of 12 hours of sleep; two all nights a 6 hour sleep and 2 3 hours i guess you could call them naps. But its all starting to look up. I'm finally sleep regular hours, getting stuff done, and my cold is almost gone except for the itchy throat.

Major even of last week. One of my bests went and started a life in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Lack of sleep and emotions clearly didn't prove well for me cause i was a weeping disaster. Paula you can't leave saying good bye to two of you has been way to darn hard.
I don't wanna talk about this anymore cause i'll cry, so Chanel I love you so darn much and i know god has such amazing plans for you over there, and i know you're coming back here eventually.

On another note; this week has been looking up drastically. Got all my shifts taken for the week cause my family is in town for thanksgiving, shopping with Gabbi on Thursday finally. My brothers birthday and lifegroup tomorrow. And I cannot forget Mike is recovering quite well theres been some major good news, and its definately all god.

LOVE GOD LOVE LIFE LOVE PEOPLE :)

oh and i'm too lazy right now to put in pictures way to much to do tonight

Cheerio Mate

Letitia's last night in Canada
No sleep
'Nough Said

Running on no sleep. In a few minute me, Gab, Chanel, Paula, Jeremy are about you accompany the wonderful, amazing, fantastic Letitia to the airport. I wanted to add so many more adjectives..but i'm too tired to think of any. It has been a long wonderful night. listening to music and just chillen. We made a wonderful cake...well i made it paul and gabe just chilled on the computer butching the song "Battlefield" in their own way. It was horrendous.



This is the wonderful story why this amazing girl is leaving us.
She has gotten the oppurtunity to begin her dream to work with girl that have been trafficed or prostituted. It is so inspiring what god has planned for this lady. So she will be moving to Bradford, England for two years. She will be so incredibly missed but this adventure has been planned for her from the beginning and its gonna be a life changer. So good luck to her, Love her most dearly.



Mi Corazon estuyo por siempre

Comatosis State

I don't think i have spent one day at home in the month of July. I have been getting lots of shifts which is pretty awesome because i went from full time to basically half of that and the weather has been gorgeous! And apparently that giant blister on my foot (which is now almost gone) has not kept me from doing anything...besides going to the soccer game downtown....but i overslept for that anyways and Gab works a little longer. I have been soo tired. I fell asleep at I think 6 last night woke up for a half an hour to send an e-mail then fell back asleep until 1. So thats 19 hours of sleep! What was I, in a coma? I clearly needed it because this was the result the day before at work...


I accidentally knocked over an ice cream cone.. then just stared at it and then like a three year old smushed it all over the counter without realising what i was doing until i noticed jasmeen one of my employees starting at me laughing.








But thats okay two more shifts then...
TWO WEEKS OFF! :)

These boot AREN'T made for walking

New goal - start writing in this er'day. :)

I don't think I have had one uneventful day this week. For reals, it has been so sunny and nice out. And I normally don't talk this gangsta, must be how unbelievabably tired i am. Up for 22 hours and counting so far.

And yesterday morning (well still today for me, but we'll get to that later) I met up with my dear friends Paula and Yaisa for a day of shopping. Goal - Get Paula a dress for saturday's wedding. Yeah never happened...got a little sidetracked all day. I bought a buttload of stuff.



I also got The Born Ruffians CD and two dresses.
The only thing else on my shopping list is sandals, a jean jacket, shorts and a few summer cardigans,

So I have worked all night long, and my body is almost to sore to move and my feet feel like their going to fall off; I think I'm going to bed.
G'night All.
