  • Try the What Kind of Xangan Are You? Quiz


    Uh oh I am already addicted! What can I say...its fun. Take the quiz...see what you are. I can't wait to see.


    I cleaned like a fool today. It was crazy. I made sure not to turn on the computer until i was done. Man was that hard. I jusr kept thinking....clean and you can blog all you want. Well now its late and I have to get up early, so off to bed. God bless and take care.

  • Chris is diving and I am here alone.  Well, I am never really alone with all these animals we have.



    This is a picture of him fixing to go diving here in galveston. That is actually the same location he is now. It is really cold tonight too. I am glad we got him a dry suit. That is a wet suit in the pic.


    Well, I better go for now. Lots of stuff to do. We took up the carpet so we could get new carpet...and there is junk everywhere. Looks like I am going to be cleaning tomorrow on my day off.


  • There's Chris holding one of the Tuxedo Strawberries! Yummy!!

  • We went to a really fancy restaurant on the strand last night. It was an italian and seafood restaurant with a piano player and singer. It was very romantic. The strand is downtown with lots of shops and restaurants. They also have carriage rides which we wanted to do, but we couldn't find them.Then we came home and ate some of the chocolate covered strawberries that I got for him. Yummy. I enjoyed dressing up and going out to eat. We never get to do that. I give my sweetie a big 10. This was the best valentine.



    This is my sweetie!!

  • I got flowers and a balloon delivered to me at my job.


    They are pretty. We went to eat for lunch and then I think we are going somewhere for supper. I got Chris some Chocolate covered strawberries...they look like little tuxedos. I know he will like them, we had them at our wedding. I hope everybody is having a good Valentines.


    Happy Valentines Day Dad,Thao, Uncle Ricky, Jessica and of course my sweetie!!!

  • Happy Valentine's Day!


                         


    I bought my sweetie something, but I am not telling yet just in case he reads this. We are suppose to go eat lunch today somewhere nice and then just relax tonight. It is rainy and foggy here in galveston and my hubbie doesn't think that is very romantic. So a stroll along the beach may not happen tonight. Or maybe I might suprise him with something romantic that he does not expect. Of course, I am not telling what I am thinking about because then he would know. But we only live right down the road from the beach, so something on the beach is still possible. He might be fakin' me out when he says its not romantic. He might be planning something all along on the beach or something even nicer. I can't wait to find out. So if he doesn't do something for me....I will do something for him.

    I hope everyone spends time with a special someone today. Remember, today is the only day that is ok to eat chocolate...so pig out on it.

  • Ok, I was asked about a month ago how I would feel changing positions at my job. I would absolutely love it. I don't make much money in my position now and its the lowest position available. So, I was nervous, but went to the interview. I was totally honest with the lady and told her that I might quit later on....in about 6 months when Chris graduates. She said that would be something she would have to deal with. I had plenty of time to think about my decision, because it has been several weeks. Well, I was called into the H.R. Office this morning to ask if I wanted to take the position because they wanted to hire me. I was so nervous. I felt like I did not want to put them out 6 months down the road if I quit. I also did not want to go from talking and working with everyone in the bank....to only working with a few people and on a computer all day. But after much thought, I decided to take the job. I mean, you never get anywhere in life if you don't take those chances that your not sure of. Plus, its a higher position with more pay. I think sitting at a computer all day might actually be good for me. Sometimes I get so stressed out dealing with everyone and want they need me to do for them.


    A God Moment....


    When I was called to come upstairs to talk about the job...I got really nervous. I had not fully decided what I wanted to do yet. I thought I had plenty of time. Well, I of course called my husband to talk to him about it. He had told me before that he thought i should take it. But at this time he told me to do what I thought was best. So I still did not know what to do. I started making my way up to the 4th floor and stopped and said a prayer. Basically, it was "Oh, Lord help me get through this and make the right decision." So, she told me the details and then said I could let her know by the end of the day. I went back downstairs and called Chris. I still did not know what to do. Then, I started fealing high. Now, I have never done drugs....this was a natural high. It was crazy. I was excited. I started walking around like I owned the place. I knew I had to take the job. That was God telling me what to do. He made me feel so good and excited about it. It had only been a few hours and I went back upstairs...excitedly....and told her yes.


    I don't know if I am going to like this new job. But there is only one way to find out. Take the chance.


    I don't think I would have felt like that if I would not have asked God to help me through it, it made a big difference.


    Faith, Hope, and Love!

  • I have some exciting news. I just got premoted!! Yea, not that I really like working here, but its a totally different position and different job so hopefully I will like it alot better. I just might enjoy coming to work from now on. I will let everyone know details later.

  • Thou dost know when I sit down and when I rise up; Thou dost
    understand my thought from afar. Even before there is a word
    on my tongue, behold, O Lord, Thou dost know it all.

    Psalm 139:2,4


    Wow, He knows it all! He knows when I am finally going to be able to quit my job and work Mary Kay full-time. He knows what kind of job my Husbands going to get after he graduates. He knows when we are going to be able to start a family.


    Nobody can know all these things, except him. No Psychic at some 1-800 # knows. Only Him. So if He knows about tomorrow, then of course He knows about our past, right? And He still loves us anyway? Yep!


    Well, I guess its only safe to say that only God knows when I am going to finally crawl myself into bed tonight. No need to call someone for that one. I can take a wild guess that its going to be later than what I want it to be!


    Have a great night. I Love you and SO DOES HE!!!!!



    Just a little something extra. This is me and Cha! Cha! at the Rainforest Cafe in Galveston.

     

  • I just watched a really good movie...Life or something like it. Basically the movie was saying to live today as if theres no tomorrow. So what would I do today if I new tomorrow would never come. I would probably go finish all the ice cream in the freezer cause its so good (Milky way ice cream, Yummy). I most definately would not be on this computer. I would be in my Husbands lap. But, tomorrow is probably going to come, and I have a ton of things to do when it gets here. Finish the laundry, clean the birds cages, bath my dog, clean the litter box and help my hubby study, just to name a few. But I do feel better knowing that everyday I am doing something worthwhile. Not just in my eyes, but even in others. For example, If I spend that little bit of time that I don't really have to play catch the bunny with my doggy, that may not mean all that much to me, considering I have a ton of stuff to do, But my doggy sure is happy. And she stays unwillingly couped up in the house all day so that is the least I could do for her. I have been ignoring my doggy and My birdy for way to long. I am going to spend the rest of the night with them. And, when tomorrow comes....I will go buy me some more ice cream and have another wonderful day.


    Remember, Life is too short, so live everyday to the fullest. And smile God Love you and so do I!!!
