just life

life...you know, it just seems SO CRAZY at times!
there is so much struggle, pain and sorrow! but, the cool thing is - it's ALL going to work together for good! we can wish all we want for sunshine, happiness, joy, gladness, peacefulness, you fill in the blank. . . but if we think that it's never gonna happen, our doubt ruins it! life isn't all roses and sunshine, we get discouraged and downtrodden, but those are the times when you can actually grow! if it wasn’t for suffering, why would the thought of heaven be so wonderful?
am I making any sense? I’m rambling, it’s late and I’m tired, why wouldn’t I just go to bed? my brain is mumble jumble and it’s hard to say anything right. . . ah well I guess I’ll be off...
OH! before I go, I’ve got to tell you all that I had a WONDERFUL evening tonight! me and Anita “kidnapped” rosina and hung out. :D .

News alert! News alert!

News alert! News alert!

yesterday was my 17th birthday! :)

you know the older you get the less exciting it is to have a birthday...it’s just another year gone by...but it was a good birthday...
the night before my birthday me and rosina hung out. :) have good memories of the morning with her :))))) (very cheesy...) got home around 10:30...did some school work...sewed my dress. Then went to El Rodeo with Mark Fishers. (because me and Leanne share the same birthday).

this is Leanne and me...

me and mom :)

me and Lena

we had very, very yummy food!!!!

And this is my darling sister! with her french fries (what a spanish food!)

and when we ordered dessert, I was SO proud of myself becausee I actually said “sopapilla” right!!! (thanks to my wonderful Spanish teacher Senior Lapiz :) then I heard some drumming coming our way...and Anita said that they were coming to sing happy birthday;

These are the people that sang happy birthday for me! *blush*

they they placed these HUGE sombrellos on our heads! And since I wear a covering...you can imagine how it fit!

me and my hat :)

I was embarrassed enough that these people I had NO IDEA who they were singing for me, then my “hat” fell off! *major blush* and the guys were laughing!!!
Anita kept saying that I need to take a picture with the chicos! And I know they heard... why can’t she keep her mouth shut? i did take a picture with a chica then...which just so happened to be my waitress...(ahh, what happened to my hair?)
Anyway...it was all good. :) we went to javan’s house afterward...we played alittle bit of dutch blitz, (javan was to scared to play, he knew me and will could "smutz" him!)
Another day has past, and I am now living in my 18th year! :)
