New Year 2010

The New Year we started by celebrating it with each other and that was really cool because it felt like a date instead of attending an event with a huge crowd were you get lost amongst the crowd. The days that fallow we attended the California Science Center and a walk on the Los Angeles Temple and that was very neat! It was quiet and you can feel the spirt while walking around the temple grounds. It's was a very clear day so the view was amazing.

While at the California Science Center we took few pictures. We were very excited about the hands on attraction. One of them it would show you about body heat, about transportaion, and about space.

Christmas and Thank You 2009!

I would have to say that we both look back on 2009 and we think it was very nice to us. We ended the year with good spirit, love and hope to see 2010 to shine on us again. We had a wonderful Christmas! It was our time to celebrate Christ and the wonderful lessons He left for us on this living earth.





This Christmas we had the opportunity to celebrated three times. One with Robert and myself. The other one was with my family on Christmas Day and the third with my extended family- Robert's family! It was very nice and received very cool things. Opie also received tons of toys and on my moms side he received a lot of chewing bones- his favorite!

My Birthday at Disneyland

I had the opportunity to celebrate my birthday 2 days in a row. Unlike last year I celebrated my birthday for a whole week in Hawaii. This year it was all about Disneyland! We had lots of fun. On one day we did all the adult (BIG kids) ride and on the second we were stuck with the little kids ride which we were both glad we went the day before.


On Monday, Dec. 7 (My Birthday) it was poring down, raining cats and dogs. Main Street was almost a river ( more like Mark Twain) but the best of all the park was all to our self! Been waiting all year long to go to Disneyland on my birthday because I get $72 to spend on the park... free! Yey me! So did some shopping on that day but still had money left over to spend. Had so much fun with our friends John and Pam who was so sweet to come and celebrate with Robert and I. No lines and maybe the longest 20min? We laughed a lot at out pictures from the rides. It makes me want to go again with them!!!



On Tuesday, Dec. 8 some of Robert's family got to come because they were also celebrating our niece birthday Ashlyn. Also to our surprise Todd, Jessica and Luke (cute, watch out ladies) came too. On that day it was clear and sunny but wow very COLD! I felt really bad for baby Nathan (our nephew) who looked like he couldn't move because of all the clothe he had. Also Robert and I had a wonderful time with baby Nathan very friendly handsome guy- watch out ladies!!! I did some more shopping on that day with my Disney Money and had fun in FANTASYLAND.

So on that last day Robert was so awesome and he waited with me to see the fireworks by the castle. That was amazing and I got to share it with him

Overall both days added to lots of fun.

My Birthday is coming and I'm excited to celebrated along with my husband and everyone that's coming. Then I will celebrate more the next day with my niece. Yay Me!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Robert and I are very thankful for every small or big blessings we have received throughout this year. We both like to start with each other for always caring and being there no matter what. Also for our wonderful puppy Opie who keeps us entertained and filling our heart with puppy love. For all the passengers who fly and have shared a second or a minute of their life with us and never giving us a dull moment. Our coworkers who make our work life interesting. For our family for always opening their doors and heart to us. The home that keeps us cool during the summer (sometimes) and warm during the up and coming winters. Robert would like to be thankful for Pumpkin Pie, French Vanilla Ice Cream, American Airlines Mileage and Yogurtland!!! Myself for Chocolate Ice Cream, Chocolate Milk, Christmas, Disneyland for all the good times. And Finally being able to have the sabbath day to remember the one who gave his life for us and Our creator. His unconditional love is always admire and a blessing to know we can all fallow.

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone!

One Good Man

Robert and I have been very busy lately with many things but tonight we decided to have our special time and watch a movie and eat some "comforting" food. So we watch the movie One Good Man and it was very interesting and good movie. It was very interesting to see how life moves so fast with no intention to slow down. Despite of all obstacle that come into your life there's always the options- good or bad. What you always have to remind yourself through life is God and Family before anything else. We both like the movie and it was a great way to end our night.

Sometimes is hard...

Well it's been a very interesting week!I had my challenges the past 2 days and it seem like I didn't want to go through a Sunday routine but it was a good ending to a hectic week. At church this Sunday it was nice to know how important it is to have a modern prophet in this terrestrial life. It is amazing how God selects out of so many to carry our worries and pain. I am glad to know we have a modern prophet President Thomas S. Monson who's always reminding us to thrive to do our best. He loves us and always wants whats best for every one in this life.Which brings me to the recent General Conference

"What Have I Done for Someone Today?

One very creative Primary sent a large jar containing hundreds of what they called “warm fuzzies,” each one representing an act of service performed during the year by one of the children in the Primary. I can only imagine the happiness these children experienced as they told of their service and then placed a “warm fuzzy” in the jar."
