Errand day.

Hi guys!

Today has been a long day. I've been running errands all day long!

I opened a new bank account, since I didn't have one here. So it's all ready for my financial aid refund, I'm kind of excited to start college classes again. I feel like a freshman all over again.

I did some grocery shopping and went to a freshmart.. I'm trying out a new drink made with ginseng, I already tried the ginger ale flavor and it was so refreshing. Next one up is an all natural cola flavor~

Anyways for lunch we went to a nice place called Crepe Maker. It was absolutely delicious! I had a pesto chicken crepe it looked and tasted amazing. I couldn't help but take a picture of it.

They have so much variety, I am definitely planning on going there again. Hopefully soon!

How was your Saturday?

                                                                          Con amor,

life lately. a little hectic.

I've been pretty busy lately. I've been spending time with the family, have been busy at church, been looking for work, and I am starting my classes again. I took a year off, and I think it's time to start up again. I'm facing my fears and difficulties head on. Wish me luck guys!

And I'll blog a lot more now.

I'll leave some pictures of what I've been doing and I promise that there are more to come!

So, has has summer been for everyone else?

Oración del día: Familia.

Dios bendice a mi hogar y los miembros de mi familia. Dales salud y fortaleza para enfrentar el día. Te doy las gracias por bendecirme con mis familiares. Que mi casa te sirva y te pongamos en el centro de todo lo que hagamos. Provéenos lo que necesitemos. Que vivamos haciendo tu voluntad y seamos buenos mayordomos de lo que nos haz dado. Pido tu protección sobre todos nosotros.

 Que esta familia dependa y sea tuya.

                                   

                                                   Amén 

the rainbow bridge.....

I want to introduce you guys to Moonlight.... I never had the chance to post about her here before.
And now that I am it's not a happy occasion.  Moonlight is one of our dogs that does not like taking pictures, all she wanted was to be petted, and loved. We didn't adopt her, she adopted us. And now she has left us and crossed the rainbow bridge.

She came to us when I was in my Senior year of high school, my mother had received several calls from my brother about a dog that kept sneaking into our yard. When we came home after school I found her in the backyard all huddled up to herself. When I first approached her she coward away, so I instead sat on the stairs and gave her her space. I slowly gained her trust with reassuring whispers and a caring heart. I spent a couple of hours doing this, I hadn't even gone inside my house to change out of my school uniform.

When we finally started bonding I immediately named her Moonlight, because of her colors. I called my mom over to see her and we clearly saw signs of abuse and abandonment. Let's just say we are both softies when it comes to animals. There was no doubt or discussion, it was a mutual agreement that she sneaked into the right home.

She became inseparable with Suki, and our eldest dog Alea (I have no pictures of her because she is a wild child at heart and cares not for picture taking). She was afraid of leashes, water hoses, and of being tied up, giving her baths was almost a battle. But we still love her, she's family and always will be.



I looked up into the sky today and saw it wasn't as bright and sunny as usual, it's like the sky is mourning her loss too. The only good thing about all this is that she isn't suffering.

I'm glad she gave us the opportunity to give her a forever home, and that she was meant to be a loved and cared for family member and not abused or abandoned...


I'm going to end this post here because as I'm writing this my heart is filled with pain and my eyes are watering. Thank you for just letting me get this out of my system.

Minki's day out.

Finally after a long delay!

Wow this was in January, I'm sorry I've been sick and right now I have an upper back muscle spams that hurts so much I can't move my right arm much and can't turn my head completely  to the right.

So, on January 28 we took Minki out and here is the post I was gonna make (picture spam is very possible):

We took Minki out on a little trip to Petco. She had so much fun! And I really enjoyed taking pictures of her, she's such a happy and affectionate little fluffball.

She paid a little attention to the fishes, but her absolute favorite were the guinea pigs. She was so curious about them and wanted to play with them.

Oh and of course it wouldn't be a day outwith Minki if she didn't have every single employee and costumer pet her.

We ended the day with some ice cream for the humans, and Minki had a little whipped cream (I didn't take a picture because I was busy with ice cream. It's hot here in the island so ice cream was my priority at that moment and not taking pictures.....

(this post was originally supposed to be posted yesterday...)

I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while...

I've had a really busy week, last week. I even had a post started, but I haven't had the time to finish it.

It was my church's anniversary week, so that kept me busy. I'm so tired now..... Oh and to top it off I'm sick now. I have a fever, sore throat, and all around aches and pains, so I'm going to rest and hopefully I'll feel better.

As an apology, here is a sneak peak picture of Minki from the unfinished post:

I hope you all had a great weekend, or at least better than mine. I would love to hear about them, and maybe talk a while. I feel better reading about other people's plans and experiences, so please share!

                                                                       
                                                                         Con amor,
