Can't Wait

This weekend I am fortunate enough to get to spend Easter weekend with my family and others who love me.  I'm heading home on Friday to spend the day with the fam fishing and laying out on the dock in God's country; honestly there is NO place like it.  Fishing is one of my favorite things to do and I just told my daddy today..."you better have me a rod and reel ready cause I'm gonna fish all day...even if I have to drown those damn fish...hehe" 

I'm also having dinner with Agan's family and get to see my sweet niece Liliana. I never knew you could love someone so much until she was born...she is the sweetest thing and I can't wait to love on her.  Her facial expressions trip me out  - she is truly a DIVA in training and I LOVE IT!! 

I also gave the okay to another one of my favorite people to sign me up to do a 5K with her on that Saturday morning.  I'm nervous and excited and can't wait to spend some time with her.  It's going to be a great day (PLUS I get my workout in - haha - can't beat that!!)

I'm sure I'll hang with some other friends, play Super Mario Brothers with TJ, drink some wine with my favorite people, go and spend some time with the church family and Thank the one who gave his life to save us.  We are a truly fortunate people and I wouldn't be the person I am today if it wasn't for the Grace of God.

We are all truly blessed on this Easter weekend and we should remember why we celebrate, however, lets not forget to spend time with those who mean the most to us...because he never promises us tomorrow.

HAPPY EASTER
(AND EAT SOME CHOCOLATE FOR ME...CAUSE I'M TEARIN' UP THE PEEPS!!!)

Much Needed R&R

After a weekend of completely doing NOTHING, I have to say for the first time, in a VERY LONG TIME, I actually feel very rested.  I know that everyone does not have the opportunity to do what I did, which is move from the bed to the couch and back again...However, I do recommend that every person needs a least a day (or half a day) to themselves, to do whatever they need to restore not only their sanity, but also their body.  I have found out the hard way that your body can only go so much, you can push and push and push, and at some point or another, it will give out.  YOU HAVE TO TAKE A BREAK.  I know most of you are thinking, WOW, Yeah Right, I could never take that much time away from my busy schedule, but I beg to differ.  I say do it, take that much needed time for your much needed rest and relaxation.  I promise you will feel revitalized and you will be a better person for it!

Tip of the day:  Feel the fear and do it anyway!

A BIG SHOUT OUT

This week I have realized how much I have to be thankful for.  After a very traumatizing and upsetting Monday, I have learned how special I am.  After much crying and praying, I began to count my blessing and thanking God for everything I have.  Most importantly, I have the BEST Support system in the WORLD.  You find out who your true friends are when hard times arise and I have to say, that I have not been this amazed in a LOOOONNNNGGGGG TIME!!!  I believe everyone has a gift, I have decided that my gift is the gift of love and caring from those around me.  I have to believe that I am able to give to those who give to me.  I appreciate everything that everyone has done for me.

I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!
