Live Well, Laugh Often and Love much!

Our lives are constantly changing, and constantly on the go and every once in a while it is good to look back on your long journey and look at the progress you have made, so you can keep going. Our family has been through great sadness, with the death of my kids childhood friend and Ernesto's sister. We have had the blessing of having those amazing people in our lives. Ernesto still is mourning his loss and struggles with his sisters death. We have also had our share of happiness, Ernesto got a good job that is providing for us, and we have had our baby Jordan who blesses our lives everyday, and we took our trip to Utah. We try to cherish everyday we have together! I love my kids and my husband so much! They are amazing people in my life and they all bring me great joy! So love the time you have with them. Live well with them and Laugh often with them it is alway good to be silly, and love them much. Love them always!

There is no guarantee how long we have, so make each and every day worth living!

My Dearest Friend

I am so very blessed to have Tami as my dearest friend. I had such an amazing time today, catching up on life. They moved to Oregon and they come back in the summer to visit family and I am so happy that she makes time to come see us. Tianna is good friends with her daughter katelyn and Brandon is friends with her son Karson. The time goes by so fast and never seems to be long enough! It makes me realize how hard it is to find quality friends, and she is a real gem. I am so thankful for her and the amazing friend that she is! love you Tami!

My Great Blessings!

We have had no easy road to travel, no smooth course to follow. Our family has had it's fair share of trials. Life is not easy! There is no easy answer! This trip we just took has taught me so much! It was suppose to be a little vacation, a drive there, have 2 days of fun, and a drive back. As we are now home I am able to reflect on the trip and how it was fun and so much more! We had such a great time! There was all the emotions, happy that we finally got to the hotel, sad when we couldn't start the van and worry that it might cost a fortune to fix, thankfulness when the lord answered our prayers and it was just our battery, and happy again when we were able to finish all the fun plans we had made. So, this made me think how truly blessed I am to have such an amazing family. They call on the Lord when there is sadness and worry, and thank him when he helps us get through it. These are the people I get to spend an eternity with, and I wouldn;t want to spend it with anyone else! My kids are a testimony to me every day that God answers prayers and that he loves us and watches over us every day! We had been waiting to go on this trip for 5 years and that is a long time, but trips cost money and we have had hard times, but maybe that is what made the trip so great! When you have to struggle for something, it makes it so much more special and it means so much more! It maybe just Salt lake to some people, but to us our dreams had come true, which made it the trip of a lifetime!

OUR SALT LAKE TRIP!

Let's start at the begining, first off we made reservations at hotel in orem, which I thought was 20 minutes from Salt Lake. For those of you who have never been to Utah it is an hour from Salt Lake and 2 1/2 hours from Salt Lake if there is construction work and there was! Then we got to the hotel finally, and got pizza hut delivered, because we were so tired of being in the car. Then Ernesto decided that he needed to go get a few things from walmart and when he went to start the van, it wouldn't start. So the next morning was spent charging our battery. And the kids being worried that we would never be able to go home again! So after the crazy meltdown and lots of little sweet prayers and the battery fully charged the van started! YAY! The Lord always takes care of us and our kids now have a real Testimony, that when you ask the Lord for help and let him know what is going on he helps you. After that our trip was awesome! We had such a great time and really enjoyed our family get away! We have been telling our kids for about 5 years that we needed to take this little trip and we are so glad we finally did!
