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?

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,

Sunday oh Sunday.

Happy Sunday loves~~~~~


So today was a good day! I went to church (it was a children's service today), then I hate lunch with the family and we spent some time at petco and there were so many dogs I was in heaven.

I took a nap, played with my dogs, talked with my sister... today was a good day. Oh, and my hair looked fabulous today I'll tell you guys why a little later in this post~


So as I said I took a nap and guess who joined me???

Cute little button nose belongs to Nina! She napped and cuddled with me, she is an adorable baby. Adorable, fluffy, grumpy baby.


I'm not into sandwiches, subs, or anything of the like ok I don't even like burgers. Firehouse subs however has me whipped, this is probably the only sub I would ever eat. It's so good, mouth-watering, and it comes hot (you can literally see smoke coming off it) and has cheese (ah my love) it tastes great with multi-grain bread.

Ok, now on to the topic of my hair! I washed it last night and I normally air dry my hair. Yesterday I was feeling like doing something  with it that would look good today. My hair is really long and takes forever to dry, so I took to pinterest to search what I could do with it and found the perfect post from the Oprah website.

This article was 3 Ways to Transform Wet Hair While You Sleep. From the three techniques I chose the one to get wavy hair, since my hair is so flat. These were the instructions:

Wake Up to Waves

Try Gibson's technique for shoulder-length hair and skip the curling iron in the morning. 

1. Apply a light mousse from roots to ends to help hair hold its shape as it dries.
2. From hairline to nape, divide your hair down the middle with a comb, separating it into two equal sections.
3. Braid each side from the middle down. Starting any higher will create crimps near your roots.
4. Secure the end of each braid with a metal-free elastic.
5. Pull out the elastics or pins in the morning and unwind your hair. For a beachy effect, mist a salt spray all over your hair and scrunch with your hands. 

I did however change up one part a little bit, when I braided my hair I took the braids and made them up into a loose bun. I went to bed and when I woke up today I did my daily routine got ready and before I left the house let the braids loose and finger brushed it. I really liked how it turned out guys, I took a bunch of pictures but I'll only post one to spare you.

Well today was a great end to the weekend, and hopefully a great start to a great week!
How was your weekend? I hope all of you have a great week ahead of you  (I typed great too many times ahaha)
