Portfolio Collages

I've constantly been thinking of how to put my photos together to make a portfolio. I finally decided that I would make collages, print them 12x12 and slip them into one of my lovely Creative Memories albums. This way, I can always add more by just creating another collage. Vwala!

First comes love....

...then comes marriage....

...then comes the baby....

Anniversaries

Seriously??

I started to feel a scratch in my throat yesterday, so I took some vitamins. I rested and drank water all day today, and even had some garlic to help fight getting sick. But it's only gotten worse! Seriously?? My throat feels like it's been scraped on the inside, my head hurts, my voice sounds nasty, my nose is running and I keep sneezing. This is not good.

Vince got me Michael Buble tickets in December for my Christmas present; the concert is tomorrow night! We thought maybe he wouldn't be able to go because of his surgery, but we never thought that I wouldn't be able to go. Please, God!!

I plan to rest all day tomorrow, drink even more water, down the vitamin C, and hope to be better by the evening. Fingers crossed and prayers said.

Please, oh please, oh please....

p.s. goodnight

Yoga Classes

Can anyone recommend a place to take yoga classes at an affordable price?

Posting to Post

I haven't posted anything in a while because I couldn't really think of anything to post. I guess I will just post about what has been going on in my life lately.

Pretty much same old, same old:

*Babysitting two days a week (which is awesome)

*Subbing when I get calls (which has not been very often)

*Going to physical therapy with Vince (he's doing a great job)

*Taking Koda to the park (always pretty relaxing)

Other than that, I recently paid off my student loans!!!!!!! Feels AMAZING!!!! I also bought some more study materials for the CSET. Hopefully I will pass that 2nd test in May (prayers and good thoughts are greatly appreciated).

I've been making myself get up at 7:00 each morning, whether I need to or not. Here's my morning routine now:

*Get my butt out of bed when the alarm goes off at 7:00.

*Heat up a pot of water for some of my favorite lavender tea

*Make breakfast

*Check my email

*Make a lunch

*Shower and get ready for the day

*Read a book until I need to leave for wherever I need to go.

I plan to get up earlier each week by 15 minutes. My goal is to wake up at 5:00am so I can go to the gym or do Crossfit, and be done by 7:00 to continue the routine I posted above.

This morning I got Lauren up early, hope she didn't mind too much. We went to the gym and we worked our little butts off. It was awesome.

That is my life at the moment. May not be exciting in some peoples' eyes, but I'm happy and enjoying it.

Happy Easter!!!

Random Fun

I found these pictures and figured they would be fun to post here.

This is my random, yet awesome, sister.

Kimmie and I had some fun taking pictures on Saturday.

Vince and me at the California Academy of Sciences on my Birthday.

Kimmie and I took Koda to the park on Saturday. He was thirsty.

Beauty Behind Walmart

Savior of the World

Tonight I went with Vince's parents to their church to watch a performance on the birth, life, death and resurrection of Jesus. (I kind of miss seeing good church plays.) The whole thing was obviously very well rehearsed. The actors were well casted and clearly worked hard on their parts. The play was very good and a reminder of what Jesus did for me/us... it makes my heart happy to know Him. Like Christmas plays in December, these types of performances help keep your focus on the real reason for certain holidays.

I love Jesus so much and thank Him for what He's done with/in my life!!

Thanks, God!!
