My Christmas.

was great!
I think I am a glass half full person.
I make the best of most situations.
I don't dwell on the bad.
It just messes things up.
I'd rather have fun than be in a sucky mood.
The only boring people are the ones that have to be entertained.
My people aren't like that.
We make everytime a good time =]
Without any help!
haha

I love Dora & Crystal.
And I miss them!
They will be home soon though.
Everything will go back to normal.

I watched Romeo & Juliet last night and today.
I wish I could speak like them and not sound weird.
LOL

I thought of a perfect name for a girl last night.
But I didn't write it down, and now it's bugging me!
I want to remember!!
Haha
I'm such a dork.

I know I like:
Maritsa, or Maritza
And Calista.

Are these really the things I think about?

love.

getting into the holiday mood.

today i hemmed my skirt that I've been wanting to fix for a LONG time!
it reminds me of when my mom, abuelita & I used to make clothes & things.
I want to keep that tradition when I have my own family.
I'm making one of the christmas gifts that I'm giving.
to my favorite =]

Going to a yummy formal dinner tonight.
We are all going to cook together.
Estefania, Jorge, Rene & I
It seems like cooking is a part of me.
I think it's weird when people "can't" cook.
I love doing it, but only for people.
Preferably ones I care about.
Makes me want to make myself a super cute apron!

I've been thinking lately,
after all that is happening in my life,
am I really happy?
And I am.
God has centered me, and I know that I am happy with Him.
He brings wonderful people to my life & I am so thankful.

I am excited to celebrate Jesus' birthday!
It is so different from what I'm used to in the past.
But it is going to be good anyways.

love.

official.

...ly dating exclusively?
LOL
no labeling ...
but we are on the same page,
which is necessary!
=]
best communicator ever!
that is what I NEED.
growth should commence right about now!

love.

p.s. I hope I'm not a pessimist!

getting a new phone.

today!
finally!

yay ...
i'm so excited =]

charming.

I found a charm today in class.
it's a little music note.
gives me a little more confidence.
I'm going to be singing at a mass.
Nerve-wrecking!
I'll just have to pray =]

love.

sorry.

I say that word WAY too much.
I don't even know why!!

it reminds me of the dad on Little Miss Sunshine ...
"Don't apologize Olive. It's a sign of weakness."

I want to stop.
Starting to work on that now!

the secret life of bees.

reading this amazing book at the moment.
it's taking so long to finish & it bugs me.
i wish i read faster.

i think i like this book because i feel like lily.
i have the secrets that i keep to myself.
i never tell ANYONE.
it makes me feel like nobody could love me if they knew.
of course God loves me & i love Him for it.
but humans sometimes have these expectations.
and i can't be perfect.
i'm not perfect.

i guess i just hope people take me for who i am.

love.

"I only have eyes for you."

haha
he makes me smile =]
best quote of last night!
I have found an amazing person.

Crystal, Dora & I had a dinner party, and I think it was a hit.
I learned that I am a great hostess! LOL
It seemed like most everyone enjoyed themselves.
I definitely had a great time!

So happy we followed through and made it happen.
I can't wait to have a house & have dinner parties or just get-togethers myself!
I really do feel like I'm meant to be a wife and mother.
& it's not me that has to have it.
I could live my life any other way, but it seems like God is putting this on my heart.
He gave me all the right skills for it too.
Also, a great mother.

I'm excited for that part of my life,
even though I'm not ready for it yet.
I'm okay with that.

love.

starting new.

it's always so fun & exciting!

& this time it's different.
i really trust him,
he's one of the best people i've ever met.
unforgettable.
i want to give my heart to him,
but it's so scary.
it's a risk,
but it's going slow & i like it that way.
i'm sure about this one =]

i'm so child-like ...
it's easier that way!
i just hope that he thinks i'm unforgettable too.

we'll see what happens ...
but i'm sure it's going to be good,
no great,
no AMAZING!

love.

bicycles.

2 of mine were stolen this week.
disappointing!
one was an old Schwinn road bike that I wanted to fix up!
(it was kinda messed up)
the other was one my friend got & fixed so i could mtn bike.
(but the back tire was flat)

I'm already over it.
I'm ok with it.
It happens.
Plus I didn't use them!

At least I still have my Schwinn Suburban Cruiser!

But I really want to get a road bike now for sure.
Probably an old one I can fix up =]
It will be stored inside of my apartment though.
