The V Fam wishes you a MERRY CHRISTMAS

Okay, so I need to brag! We were blessed with a wonderful Christmas meeting at church! We had President Packer speak! It was wonderful. His extended family was there and his son also spoke. He and his son are both in our Ward. It was truely a joyous meeting!





Merry Christmas!

JUST PUT AN OFFER!!!

We officially put an offer down on a home last week! Signing all of the paperwork was very intimidating! And we still have a little bit more to go! Tomorrow we are signing more paperwork, the bank will be doing some processing and we will officially be UNDER CONTRACT! AAAAHHH!!!! It's VERY EXCITING BUT VERY NERVERACKING! YOu want everything to go smoothly but there's always a few stumbles in the homebuying process. This will be our VERY FIRST HOME! We are very anxious, nervous, worried, overwhelmed and excited! It's kind of... a BIG DEAL!

With the Lender smackdown, so to speak, it's difficult to get money lended to you...but alas, we found a home, in great shape, in an okay area, with plently of room! The Home is just blocks from the Gateway Mall in Downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. We will be city dwellers, living an an historic victorian style home. This home was built in 1901. It has alot of character and in GREAT shape! It has new carpet and tile in it too. The kitchen is big, there's a good sized mud room in the back, fenced front and back yard, good basement for storage(we call it the dungeon), high 10 foot cielings, good sized rooms, big family room w/ a big pretty bay window and the original historic crown molding around the doorways! It's quite nice. Yes, there'a few things that need to get repaired but nothing major...we'll see with inspection!!!
The downside is...we need EVERYTHING!! All appliances and all furniture! Thank goodness for family!...OH...and craigslist or KSL! lol.

I'll keep you updated!!!
Hopefully this will be the V FAM HOME!!!!

my first gingerbread house

It's the 'SMURF COTTAGE'
AND IT SURE WAS FUN!!
I'm proud of myself!

MY WISH LIST

AMazing list, right?
so, how 'bout it Santa?

Soosie's Christmas wish list

Drum roll.... here it is..because... iiiiizzzz that time a' year again (as my family would traditionally say it)!!!

Here's a few things I really wish for and hoping Santa makes my wishes come true!
1. Philosophy Facial cleansing set
2. Microdermabrasion
3. The Audacity Of Hope
4. More bare Minerals!
5. black boots
6. A nice massage!
...maybe a new house? Too much to ask, no?
7. oh yah, I can't forget a new hand bag...a cool bodacious one.

So, here me out Santa CLaus!!

Costco...heaven sent...

Have you heard of this giant wharehouse?
WHat do you need...you'll find it at Costco...ya hungry? Eat free samples!

I don't have health insurance and needed my prescription refilled. MY medication is very expensive and it's an easy 130.00 to fill. Well, do you know how much it cost at Costco? 21.00 and some change! Can you say heaven sent??

I hear the angels singing!!!
OH YAH..and did I mention the books and the great prices there?
Too bad the AUDACITY OF HOPE was GONE!!! I MUST GET THAT BOOK!!!!!
To those of you who let their biases decide to whether or not read this book, that's too bad! haha
...If all else fails, it's at Deseret Book...I already checked.
So many good books, so little time! DAng!

OFFICIALLY started training

So, I started my triathlon training on Thursday. After teaching for 2 hours, I darted to the gym and started immediately on the stationary bike. I set it to random mode so the resistance is in intervals. I blasted my ipod and went at it. I biked 12 miles! It's not a hard as it sounds...I did it in about 25 min at 92 mph. I then went right into jogging. I kind of want to build up strength slowly so I ran/jogged/ briskly walked about 2.2 miles. I have crepidation in my left knee, so running is hard on my poor lil crunchy overworked knee. We all need to thank dance for that! THANK YOU DANCE! Dancers are trained to turn out and work over the toes, which is some of the worst things you can do to your knees. OH yah, plus some dancers blow their knees by forcing their turn outs, rather than working with their natural rotation through THEIR HIPS! But I'm getting off subject....
Immediately after biking/running without rest, I took a breather, stretched, went downstairs and did bench squats, 50 reps with 5 lb dumbbells in each hand. I know, it's not heavy, but after a while, it sure gets heavy! PLUS, the night BEFORE my day one training, I 'Hollywood Shred', which is a 30 min, high interval and intense workout by celebrity trainers. My lower body was SHOT!
So, I did overkill Wednesday and Thursday, and became sick this weekend! I literally was in bed all day Sunday and my dad took care of me and the boys Saturday night..which sucks because I misse dmy best friend's birthday party!
THis week, I will do 12 mile bike, in intervals, no major resistance, for the sake of my knee and 1 mile run. I'll do this 2 x this week and day 3 I'll swim 6 laps. The other days in between will consist of yoga, teaching dance and some strength training.
MAn....if I was on a strict diet, I'd be so dang fit! lol.

YOGA

I have a new obsession and it is called YOGA. Have you ever heard of it?
It's the best workout...other than dance, of course...
It centers you
It's relaxing
It help you focus on your breathing
It's challenging
It promotes lean muscle
It a good form to burn fat
It increases your flexibility...not as if I'm flexible enough... ;-)
It takes you to another REALM...
I LOVE YOGA! And I do it EVERYDAY!
EXERCISE TV ON DEMAND IS AWESOME! I just do it from my home!!
..Plus at the gym...
If you haven't tried it, you SHOuLD! YOu will LOVE IT!
Add it to your regular exercise routine and you'll notice a change in your mind AND BODY!
REMEMBER- 40 minutes/ 3 times a week for Cardio!
YOGA
Strength training...suggesting light resistance and alot of repetition
stretching
water, water and more water!
GOOOOO YOGA!!!!!!

THANKSGIVING FATFEST 2008

The V Fam had a great Thanksgiving in Utah! Believe it or not, we did NOT spend it with my family. woopsy...no! haha..My family is kindof doing a postponed big feast when my little brother comes into town with his girlfriend and then AGAIN when my OTHER brother returns from Asia in January! So, this Thanksgiving, we decided to all go our seperate ways. My mom boycotted this year and said she wasn't going to cook. I didn't feel like cooking in a kitchen that's not mine...so my friend invited us over to her house! IT was alot of fun and we spent it with a great family! There were 8 kids and 7 adults total. We laughed the calories off. I had a headache by the end of the night because I was laughing so hard. I'm really grateful for new friends! Never thought I'd find good NEW ones here!! lol.
Thanks Kimball Fam!

SO GUESS WHAT...

I'm doing a TRIATHLON in 2009!! I originally planned on doing the Women of Steel but it may be already SOLD OUT! Let's hope it's NOT YET! It's the perfect Triathlon race for starters. It consists of a sprint 300 meter swim, 5k run and 11.5 mile bike ride. I don't care about placing, I was wanna train and know I CAN DO THIS! I am really excited. If I can't get into Women of Steel, there's plenty other Triathlon races. I can't do the Olympic ones..just yet..those are major. I plan to train the heck out of myself these next 6 months. I need to swim laps most of all. I'm a whimp at swimming. But with dance...I can go on for HOURS but not with swimming!
Um...the only problem is...my dad wants to do it but it's 'The WOMEN of Steel'...Um... I am a woman of 'Steel' because that is indeed my maiden name! So, he's a 'Steel' too, no?

WISE'S BIG MAN HAIRCUT

He's such a STUD.

SOOSIE'S WORKING ON HER FITNESS

I've been trying to get to the gym ATLEAST 3-4 times a week but the past two weeks have been rather lacking. I'm sold on yoga and do ATLEAST 35-40 minutes cardio session everytime I go to the gym. With diet....what's THAT? I don't diet but I like to watch my caloric intake. Sometimes I cheat! These pictures are just so funny! Especially the FIRST one! I had to post it!! Check out PRINCE!! I was cracking up! Now, all I need to do is, TAN! OH, then KEEP ON WORKIONG OUT to lose more poundage!!! We'll see how Soosie's OPERATION FIT turns out!!

The V Fam update

I think it'd be nice to let everyone know how the V fam is doing here in Utah! We've been here for two months already! WOW! And we're STILL trying to adjust!

We are still here at mom's house. House hunting is going a little slower than expected. We first need to bring in a more lucrative income for our lender for proof that, yes, we are making money. It's taking longer than we had in mind. Boricua will be having to take on another PT job and had an interview today. His hardware and software testing scores were the highest the company has ever seen! GO HIM! WE have to wait a few more weeks on that, however, he also was hired on for Educate Online, to do PT tech support work from home at night. He's just waiting for his schedule! He's still at Geek Squad and he's really tired of retail but never complains. I have just picked up 3 more hour and a half classes a week! I will be teaching Monday, Wednesday and Thursday evenings. That's about all I can handle rightnow. Things are that much harder, with not having our own place, starting all over and dealing with kids. Prince has taken this change the hardest. He feels insecure and has diverted back into diapers, pretty much. Well, we DON'T put diapers on him but he feels really uncomfortable to go to the bathroom since we've been here. He's really clingy with me and throws some wicked temper tantrums. Last week he had an issue with sleeping in his room and has been missing his older brother. It's kind of caused me to feel guilty too. I fee like I've made a big mistake but then I remind myself that, that thought is totally irrational. Families move all of the time and things settle into place eventually. I just have no patience for it and that is indeed, something I need to work on.
I have met a great new friend who's been a total lifesaver. Talk about a small world, she grew up in MAryland and was in the Frederick Stake(Mormon Church)! We LOVE to workout and her daughter's name is the same name I've planned to name my daughter... if I ever have one(first person I met woh named her daughter this particular name and I've had my heart on this name since I was 17!). We have a total blast together. WE've been doing a yoga/tai chi/pilates fusion class on Fridays and it is such a GREAT way to end your week, or start your weekend!
Other than that, nothing miraculous or big breaks our way. Just small and continual blessings.

He is here

I can't tangibly touch him but I see him. He's right before my very own eyes. Vivid and glorious. He IS there... He is there....oh, he is here.
There's no smog or darkness...but only light and understanding....no 'whys' or 'what ifs'...I see him everyday.
Not mistaken.
Perfection.
PURE love.
Full of MERCY
He is there.
He is HERE. And he's waiting for us to reach out and touch him

NOVEMBER GIVE THANKS

Okay folks, it's November, the month of Thanksgiving. WEll, for the United States, that is. In Canada, it's in October. So therefore, it's the SEASON of Thanksgiving. There. I'm Politically correct now. lol.
The word 'Thanks' means: to express gratitude, appreciation, or acknowledgment. It's a verb. 'Giving' means; to present voluntarily and without expecting compensation; bestow, and is also a verb. There's several meanings for 'giving', depending on if the verb is used with or without an object or if it's used as a noun.

So, Thanksgiving, is combined by ACTION words and is now a Noun;the act of giving thanks; grateful acknowledgment of benefits or favors, esp. to God...

So therefore, I will GIVE my thanks almost daily on my AMAZING Blog! ;)
This is how I will GIVE my thanks:

Express my gratitude for my blessings.
Thank my friends & Family idividually.
Go out of my way to GIVE to others in NEED.
List the blessing I'm given daily.

As I do this, hopefully this ACTION will resonate in me and I can carry it daily, just as I walk (an action) every single day.
Here's a list of my blessing for TODAY!

I'm grateful for my mind!
I'm grateful for my safety!
I'm grateful for my talents!
I'm grateful to live!

I'll try to post new lists almost daily! C'mon, I challenge you! I bet we'll all find out how REALLY EASY IT IS!

MUCH LOVE! Happy HARVEST SEASON!

CONGRATULATIONS BARACK OBAMA

First off~ I am an American who stands neutral with Politics. My stances aren't based on just media, heresay and other people's opinions. I take GREAT pride in studying and researching things on my own and making a conclusive decisions based on my findings. When it comes to THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES; my Country and YOUR Country, I TRY to make the most LOGICAL and NON-partison decision, who will be my Commander In Chief. And with my Faith, I go in DEEP AND EARNEST PRAYER! I am NOT convinced by media, by the scare tactics and one or two deal breakers. It shouldn't be a decision seen on only the surface. It's a whole, HUGE and VAST decision. IT's who I SEE someone who convey's HOPE, UNITY, HUMILITY, DIVERSITY and INTELLIGENCE. Someone who makes bi-partison decisions and puts PEOPLE FIRST. It's someone who is a progressive, has hope for our future, wants to better the lives of EVERYONE and has achieved the AMERICAN DREAM! Someone who is a sYMBOL of a NEW GENERATION!!! CHANGE!! UNITY!!! BRIDGING THE DIVISION IN THIS GREAT COUNTRY( AS McCAIN JUST SAID!!!) BRINGING HOPE and making history! I can go into my social, economical and Foreign Policy issues but it'd be just too long! Ask me later ;)
No DOUBT, McCain has worked hard, served this Country and loves the United States and I THANK YOU, JOHN, FOR IT!...and am looking forward to seeing PRESIDENT OBAMA and SEnator McCAIN WORK HAND IN HAND FOR THIS UNITED STAT$ES OF AMERICA!!!!!!!
CONGRATS PRESIDENT ELECT BARACK OBAMA!!
AND THANK YOU JOHN MCCAIN!!

KARATE CHOPPP!!

I'M GOING TO RULE THE WORLD!

HALLOWEEN!!!!!

This is our official first Halloween in Utah and we had a fun night! Prince and I made him a robot costume that he was, so so proud of. We couldn't call him by his name that night. His name was 'robot'. He'd press his felt button on his shirt to give him energy boost while trick or treating. Wise loved his doggy get up, at FIRST....then he hated it, then he didn't mind it after he noticed it was getting him CANDY! The neighbors were very generous with the trick or treaters, to say the least. All they got was chocolate...good chocolate...the KING SIZE candy bar chocolate! There wasn't one smartie or tootsie roll. Back when I was a kid, that's all we got! ONe of the neighbors welcomed us with warm hotdogs w/ optional ketchup. Then in the same cul de sac, we were invited in for hot cider and donuts. Yes, we were spoiled this Halloween. My niece also joined us and she sure was a treat..along with our treats! It was a fun night for the kids and fun for me and Boricua; seeing the joy on our childrens faces! Now it's on to the Holiday Season!

I've SLACKED

I've majorly slacked on my blog! Let's refresh with Soosie's current events:

I'm teaching 2 classes and soon to pick up 3 more next week! And get this; 4 out of 5 of them are BALLET...Yes, BALLET. I LOVE Ballet and know how to instruct it but I'm no Primaballerina Soosie. Great thing I have a wonderful mentor!

I'm also on a few dance studios sub lists as well. Teaching dance is second nature to me. What can I say? And the thing is, I'm always trying to do what I can to improve and gain all of the knowledge I can to be the VERY BEST.

I was in s deep sink of depression last week and was ready to surrender. Change can be hard but ya know, it's a GOOD THING. We need to stop being afraid of change. We always want things easy, don't we?

I've been working out 3-5 times a week at my new gym. I go to Bally's. I love it. Just like dance, working out is second nature to me. I haven't lost any weight yet because I've ben stuffing my face with deeelicious food.

Boricua and I donate Plasma 2 times a week. My veins were infiltrated on both arms today and I have amazing bruises just in time for Halloween!

We're still at my mom's. Boricua's yet to find a better job. Until then, we'll make due.

WISE HAS GAINED WEIGHT!!! HOORAY!!!

I found my camera cable!! Now I can post pictures!!!!

My new quote: 'HOPE is synonymous to OPTIMISM and FEAR is synonymous to TERROR. What will you choose?'
Thanks for everyones love and support during this BIG family change!!!!

Our new Ward

OKAY, first things first! THe good things: BOYD K PACKER is in our Ward. We missed his meeting takeover last Sunday and he personally spoke the whole church meeting.
I found a mother with two small boys my boys ages! We will have playdates!!

Other than that....I am soooo totally ready to move back! I think I heard crickets in Sunday School...where was the opinions and thoughts. I want a Bro Summers or Bro Call. The lesson was always interesting and peoples inputs were even better. I miss familiar faces and all of the KIDS!!! This ward has a small amount of kids. IT's older folks, as the area I'm in is very afluent. So, there's not a lot of young families. They're all very nice and it's a nice ward...but...it's not like the one in my old neck of the woods.

I'll be honest, I'm terribly homesick. I'd pack up and come back rightnow if I had it my way. I miss everything about my old home. Even the summer roaches...haha!!

Saturday is a special day

It's supposed to be a day 'to get ready for Suuunday'! I've been dawdling around all day, took a long afternoon nap, haven't showered and let my kids go bananas. It's really cold today, I'm bored and have no ambition to do anything! I guess I better go iron the kids Sunday clothes BUT first need to find out what time our new Ward starts at. I'm so ready to get back to church. I felt like I haven't been there forever! Lawd save me!
Okay, well, do you think I should compramise my time being a mom and go back to work full time? Ugh...that's sounds so awful!! I may have to get a part time job...which means I will have to find childcare no matter what. Oh boy... MAybe Boricua should just get another pt job and I'll stay home! How does that sound?
Well, I'll most likely blog about my new ward next week. Wish us luck!

Pardon my blog overload...

I have blogged several different postings at once!!!!
I was on a whirlwind there for a second..or the past two days!!

Today I've been homesick...in my hometown. Go figure. Then I open up the new Ensign and read about the Washington DC Converts stories and that made me even more homesick.
Boricua will start work tomorrow and I will be teaching officially next Thursday. Until something better comes Boricua's way, we will be staying at my mom's for awhile. We wont rent and use that money to save. I'm sure we'll be just fine! I just have a hard time starting all over again. Plus we've been sick from the weather change. Wise developed a nasty viral rash all over his legs, spread up his back and a little on is arms. They were little bumps all over his skin. It's clearing up and still around his knee caps. He's had the whole diahrea, runny nose and low grade fever thing too. As for me, I developed a Sinus Infection and my Sinuses became so dry, I was getting bloody noses....the first bloody noses I've ever had in my life!! Craziness! Call me bananas but I've been taking Colloidal Silver( yah, the stuff if you injest too much, your skin turns blue!). It's supposed to be 'Nature's Antibiotic'. It actually has really helped! I'm no longer a skeptic!
I have so many new photos to post but my camera's usp hookup is somewhere in boxes...So until then, enjoy my amazing flood of thoughts!!

This must resonate within me

AS I take this huge move and start all over and my missing my old home and routine...

Sometimes a Loss Can Be a Gain
When we lose anything that we cherish, the sense of emptiness we are left behind with can be overwhelming. A space that was filled, whether in our lives or our hearts, is now a void, and the feelings of pain, loss, and separation can sometimes be difficult to bear. While it is always important to honor what we’ve lost, sometimes a loss can also represent a chance for a new beginning. When we are ready, the void left by a relationship, a job, or a dream can then be viewed as open space that can be filled with something new: new experiences, new knowledge, new job opportunities, new dreams, new people, and new ways to grow.~the Daily OM

Let me Clarify myself...

I appreciate the comments that have buzzed my way and the interest of reading my blogs! Politics are a touchy subject, aren't they? I realized you CANNOT get too wrapped up into it, as it consumes all of your mental energy and as you see on TV or interenet, it stirs up alot of anger. Which is totally not right and I refuse to get angry or wrapped up in one's campaign, to try to prove someone elses beliefs are wrong. I don't beleive in infringing beliefs upon others. I do however believe in being a good example and having morals. I don't belong to any Political group. I don't believe in it and what I worship has absolutely nothing to do with Politics. I believe in having Balance in all things. Not too much of this and not too much of that. It's all about moderation...Just like my diet! haha. Moderation and Balance seems to be disentegrating and ununderstandable. Common Sense in no longer common.

When I get too wrapped up in Politics and heresay, it effects my Spiritual Growth and it becomes very distracting. I'm bombarded with people sending and posting ridiculous things about Barrack Obama and ridiculous things about John McCain. This is the ugliest and dirtiest Presidental Race. NONE of these men set a good example. YOu've got McCain, a very angry man, condesending, wants to go to war with everyone, full of Pride, playboy, Adulterer and party boy. Then Barrack, who has associated with all of these questionable people, supports Gay marriage and other things. I'm still not seeing how he is a Socialist though... I've only seen some of McCain's behavior and ideas seem forceful. I too feel it is a right to have Health Insurance and it must be more accessible for everyone to have. I've been uninsured for years because I can't afford it and we make too much money to get government help. I've owed thousands of dollars in medical bills. As of RIGHT NOW, I have an infection and trying to fight it off naturally; so I don't have to go to the ER and get more medical bills. This year, I've been sick every month and broke my foot and ended up in the ER 3 times(luckily, my broken foot was covered by my employer...BARELY!!!). Guess who's stuck with the bills? It's very frustrating. I can't even go to well care check ups and get my teeth cleaned every 6 months because I can't afford it. And it's not just me who's dealing with this. Millions of Americans are. I grew up in a home, where my mom was self employed and my dad was disabled due to a serious car accident. My family couldn't afford health insurance for me and my siblings and I saw how hard it was for my parents to try to pay for it. We can't afford Boricua's Premiums through his work. ON top of premiums, a good amount goes out of our own pockets. I'm mind boggled by it all. Not everyone lives a financially comfortable life and ALOT struggle, living paycheck to paycheck. Even fellow faithful tithe payers. But don't get me wrong, Obama's idea on giving Health Care to ALL by the Gov't, is nearly impossible. It's overambitious. I feel it MUST be more affordable for everyone!
So, NO, of course I don't believe in Socialism; in other words, Communism. Of course I DON'T condone Same Sex Marriage, as it is unnatural and brings unbalance. OF course I don't believe anyone should go get an abortion at any given time. Leave that up for the States to decide. What we have in set now in our Government, is obvisouly NOT working. There needs to be change but our Government will always be flawed. This Constitution will eventually hang by a thread. I don't know who will bring us this mighty change. I don't believe in individuals having the freedom to do whatever they want. That bring chaos and destruction. Of course there needs to be order but noone should be forced to think and believe in a certain way. Noone should be critisized for thinking differently. Both sides of the Parties can bring forth very very good arguements. My family is very liberal and I have friends that are as well; so I hear both sides. I stand in the middle with it all. Like I said, not too much there and not to much here. Enforce some things yet let there be freedom and our individual rights but of course, suffer for our own consequences. We all need to learn to tolerate and love one another, no matter what. Isn't that what faithful Christians are taught? Not only Christians but nearly all religions.

Sometimes I feel, and I hope that I'm wrong, that some people feel that in order to be a good faithful Member of the LDS Church, you must be a Repulican and think alike. That frightens me and leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I have such a firm testimony of my Savior and his teachings. I strive to do what is right day in and day out. I am eager to gain knowledge and better understand these marvelous tools we've been so blessed with. But my situation and life track is a little different. My family are no longer members of the church. They have different life views and beliefs now, yet they are extremely intelligent and wonderful people. My husband isn't a returned missionary and he is the only Member of the LDS church in his family. He's experienced a completely different view on life and experienced so much more. I was pregnant when I married him. I'm not a graduate from BYU. I have Gay friends and I love them very much. My best friend is Jewish and she is an amazing woman. My other best friend is Agnostic and as sweet as can be. They don't share the same beliefs as me and it's what makes things more interesting. Because we learn new things from one another and gain new respects for things. I've been able to share my beliefs with them and that's a blessing! Ya know, I'm loud, I like loud music, I'm open to learning different things and sometimes I can get a little crude. But I have no doubt, that I am a virtuous woman, who is held on high and my Lord knows that I am doing the very best I can be every living day of my life. I hold my standards sacred.
And if anyone questions my Faith because I'm not a Repulican, than they have some thinking of their own they need to sort out. Like I said, I belong to NO Political Party.

Wish me luck!

Tomorrow I have a job interview to be a Kindergarten Assistant for a Private school! It is at the Greek Orthodox Church located minutes away from where I live. It's only 3 hours a day, which is perfect for my schedule. My main focus is being a mom, so I won't work full time. I just need to get some work going, so I can help my family out a little bit rightnow.
I also have a dance teaching offer 2 hours every Thursday and will be covering for my friend's classes next Thursday! The other dance studio has me at the top of their subsitute teaching list. We're going on week two with making no money. It's kind of unnerving!
ON the other hand, Boricua's first job offer didn't offer him enough money. However, if his other job offers aren't competitive, he will go ahead with the original job offer for the time being. He is getting discouraged and I must be the supportive wife. He is extremely bored and we've managed to find alot of time to study! Which is not bad. But it will be once we have no more money! And what about us buying a home? I know things will work out.
Some people think we're big risk takers for making such a huge change during an Economic crisis. The World keeps going and we shouldn't stop doing what we feel is right.
Wish me luck with this job!!

BIGOTRY

I see it too much in this Nation and in this WORLD...


1. stubborn and complete intolerance of any creed, belief, or opinion that differs from one's own.
2. the actions, beliefs, prejudices, etc., of a bigot

—Synonyms 1. narrow-mindedness, bias, discrimination.

This keeps you from making a logical decision...think about it.

Study both sides before you(as in the 3rd person) critisize.
We are a World of Variety. In everything, there is opposition. We have the FREEDOM to choose and worship how, where or what we may. The consequences lie in our OWN transgressions.

I think for myself & believe in Balance

My thought for the day:
Ignorant:
1. lacking in knowledge or training; unlearned: an ignorant man.
2. lacking knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact: ignorant of quantum physics.
3. uninformed; unaware.



I'm not ignorant. I think for myself and base my thoughts and opinions on what I study, hear and observe. That's the great thing of being Human; we all think differently! So, calling me ignorant because I don't think alike, is ignorant. Which meaning, lack of knowing and understanding what ignorance is.

Free Agency

By: Delbert L. Stapley, “Using Our Free Agency,” Ensign, May 1975, 21

For it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. If not so … righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, neither holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad.” (2 Ne. 2:11.)

As sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father, we have this gift of free agency to use in our mortal lives. We must be tried, tested, and proved to see if we will choose the right and do all things whatsoever the Lord our God shall command us. As spirit children of God, we have built-in powers of conscience sufficient to develop our free agency in right choices and to acquire qualities of goodness, humility, and integrity of purpose.


A person’s freedom should never be suppressed by men, by Satan, nor by our Lord. Men should never be in bondage one to another. While Satan would like us under his control, God does not control the actions of men. He has given us our agency to combat the trials, temptations, and evils of every kind. However, he gives certain principles that, if followed, will lead us back to his presence. God’s kingdom is founded upon perfect liberty. Every man, woman, and child has the right to worship God according to the dictates of his own conscience. Each person alone is responsible to his creator for his individual acts.

God gave us the everlasting gospel, the principles of life and salvation, and has left it up to each of us to choose or reject, with the understanding that we become responsible to him for the results of our acts. The Lord does not force anyone to embrace the gospel, and he will not force them to live it if they have embraced it. “They act for themselves, and act from choice.” (Discourses of Brigham Young, p. 57.)

Satan exerts his greatest power when God has a work to do among his children on earth. Every dispensation of the gospel since the beginning of time has come to a close, not because God has failed, but because man has failed God by the improper use of his free agency.

THIS is what influnces my thoughts. Not politicians.

I'd love to hear why....

Alot of you support McCain/Palin or Obama/Biden.

I know alot of Members of the Church support McCain/Palin just because of their values and standards...but is that the only reason why you think they'd do a good job? It's a little confusing to me... I have the same values as fellow members of the LDS church but I don't think McCain/Palin are good examples and I think we'd be in a lot of trouble if they were to take over the Whitehouse. McCain is testy and a timebomb ready to explode. Palin is extremely under experienced and quite ignorant. I don't think it's very good to compare yourself to a DOG! Let alone a Pitbull, who's vicious and known to turn on their owners at any given time. She did however hold her own on the VP Debate..but why is she geting more publicity then McCain? Do you think McCain knew this would happen and therefore it'd help his campaign for the extra exposure? I don't like how he's always geeting on his soapbox about being a Prisoner of War. We all know it now. Move on. I too get uncomfortable knowing he's sang songs like, " Bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran."
I was scared when he held up a Sharpie and said he'd veto everything that came his way. Where's the balance? We need equalibrium. Not too much right or too much left. BALANCE. Do either candidates demonstrate balance? Um, not really. Can't we get a President who'll put Politics aside and make realistic and bi-partisen decisions? Do I respect McCain and Palin's values? OF COURSE! I feel family values are number ONE and don't supprt Gay Marriage for the sanctity of it being between a man and a woman..which gives the family BALANCE. BUT, do I believe a president and his/her personal beliefs should force a Nation of variety to follow what they follow? Isn't that taking away our Free Agency? And don't you think these Evangelical Christians a bit Extreme? What about Balance? I think Mitt Romney came the closest to this and he unfortuneatly didn't make it. (Some may beg to differ but you have to remember he governed a liberal State and his standpoint on, for example, Abortion, he felt was for the States to decide.) Do you think Domestic oil drilling will help our energy crisis? It will take along time to build pipes in Alaska first and that will only help minisually for a brief period of time. What about the future? What will help us for the Future? Do I think McCain is a good man, sure! And Sarah Palin? Yes! But to run this Country? Noway.
I am very unsure who to vote for in a few weeks...what about you?

We made it!

Sure, it's been a week since being an official Utah resident but I still need to let you know that, WE MADE IT SAFELY! It was a very long drive and by day 3, we were so grumpy and done with driving!

We left Frederick a little before 5 am. Boricua and I got about 3 hours of sleep that morning, so we were so utterly exhausted. The packing was alot of work, as always is. Our van was stuffed to the brim! We did it National Lampoon's style! Anyway, our first day of driving was the longest! We drove for 15 hours! Yes, with two small kids too! We finally arrived in Peru, Illinois around 8 pm. Our hotel was right next to a corn field...surprise surprise. We were literally ATTACKED by mosquitos! I've never seen so many hungry parasites come to feast, so FAST in my life! It was crazy! We had to run to our car and run to the door, so we wouldn't get bitten as much. We doused ourselves with OFF spray. My gosh, it was quite a trip! I first noticed how much nicer the people were in the MidWest than out East. But the scenery is boring and ugly and I'd nevr want to live there.
On day 2, we left around 8 am. This trip went smoothly and it was boring. We ended up in North Platte, Nebraska around 7 pm. Boricua and I felt we were in a daze. I thought I was dreaming. We ate some good Mexican food and called it a night.
Day 3, our last trek!! Hooray! This the the BORINGEST trek of ALL! Driving through Nebraska and Wyoming is so so so boring. We did stop in the litle town where the University of Wyoming is. They were nice folks but I'd never want to live there. I am more of a Metropolitan girl. RIGHT when we hit the Utah border, our camera died! What are the odds? I was the driver at that time. As I was driving through the canyon, I became sad and a mix of emotions came up. I was second guessing my decision to do this...becuase it finally hit me..I'm living here AGAIN! Before that I kept on thinking we were taking a vacation and going back to MD. BUT~ we are living here!! My gosh! Am I ready to live here again? As soon as the Canyon opened and I looked out into the Valley, I was home and felt better.

Now, I've been here a week and I have felt a blanket of sadness today. I miss my home I created, my friends, my routine, MATER, and my Ward Family. I thought about them all day during conference and wished I could share my thoughts with them the following Sunday. OUr routines are out of sync and the boys are paying for it. I've had the worst allergies since being here and the dry air is killing my sinuses. Oh, how I wished I was still in my little apartment downtown, where we walked through the city and enjoyed our surroundings. I missed IN The Streets. My students miss me and I miss them. I'm just so homesick, even though I'm techniquely home. I'm with my family again, which is great but I miss the family I made out there. I miss my stepson, Mater and his energy. I miss everything about him. I wish he was here with us. Honestly, I'd move back in a heartbeat rightnow. I don't think I'm ready mentally to live here yet...but we'll see. It's only been a week and we're not livng on our own yet! Boricua should start work this week and hopefully all will go well! But like it was repeated over and over in General Conference today, rejoice in your trials and Change is A-okay!!

WE FINALLY TOOK PICS

FINALLY!! NO CRAIGLIST LISTINGS!!! AHAHAHAHA!!!

WE managed to get some decent pics of the DC Temple! ALL of the pics we took when Boricua and I were sealed got lost! So, we HAD to get pictures before we moved. They turned out not so bad! There is alot more but I'm not going to pist them all! HELLO!! The kids loved the temple grounds....of course...what kid doesn't like a big water fountain?? We also went to the Exhibit of Portraits of the Savior's life. I recommend you all go see it. It was amazing. The portraits were just moving and I was blown away!!!!!

My DEAR FRIENDS & FAMILY...

My apologies for the excessive pictures of items posted on Craigslist!
I am still posting fun stuff inbetween! Like now! AND NO WORRIES! All names still remain nicknames for privacy!

Here's a sneak on what we enjoyed doing today...we drew on our faces with Halloween face paint crayons! Not only on our faces but on the mirror, the carpet and other parts of our body! BOY WHAT FUN! Wise wouldn't let me put rosey cheeks and a red nose on him today...I wonder what we're going to do when Halloween rolls around! And you notice, it looks as if Wise is enjoying an ice cold Diet Pepsi! WRONG! hahahah! It's mom's, of course! They did have fun today!
.....my roudy boys!!

Don't we LOVE Mondays?

I put together a lovely lesson for FHE on Order in the Home and responsibility. Mater came and joined us and helped make chocolate cookies for the snack. Wow, an Irony I chose this lesson... Prince didn't nap today...that means he was as roudy as ever, rolling on the floor, making faces, tipping over Wise's playpen, squirming, mimicking and yelling. While Wise is crying,hanging on Dad, saying 'ow' for no reason, being pushed by Prince and on a frantic search for his bobo(pacifier). I made the lesson as simple and brief as possible, yet I was still getting irritated. Buuuuuuutt...I gritted my teeth and put a smile on my face, continued with the lesson and taught the boys what order was by putting paper cut-outs of 1,2,&3 in order. They liked that. Mater's answers are always the same: "Be like Jesus", "Not be bad" and "listen to your parents". Hey, atleast we're doing some bit of good! All in all, it waspretty successful but I think the kids appeciated the chocolate cookies more than my slaved away lesson! The pictures below speak for itself on our 'joy' tonight!
Aren't families great?

I'm a walking Zombie

I'm walking, walking and walking....Walking Pneumonia, that is! YES! Walking freaking Pneumonia! I have been a sick sick puppy! My chest is still achy hurty icky but not nearly as bad as it was a few days ago!
There has NOT been one month this year where I haven't been sick or delt with a BROKEN FOOT! 2008 has been a year of Soosie doozies! Bring it on 2009!

I guess there's a first for everything!
We love firsts, don't we?

Just not Pneumonia firsts!

On top of that...

I have a Urinary Tract Infection!

It's awful!

SO so sick...

I'm not surprised I'm sick, AGAIN. This time it started with a cough and it's spiraled down to chest pain, shallow breathing, body aches, headaches, phlem, hay fever symptoms, earaches, lethargy and slight fevers.

I am even taking tablets for Asmtha to help break up mucus in my chest and breath a little easier. My chest hurts, as I inhale and exhale rightnow. I'm only able to get on here and type because those Asmtha tablets contain Ephedra and that gets you super wired. I'm currently sweating, as I took ALeve and it broke my fever. My cough doesn't seem to be improving. It just hurts my chest. I've had Boricua pound my chest to relieve the congestion. I've been researching on pneumoina and Bronchitis and my symptoms seem to coincide with Walking Pneumonia. I'm getting sharp pains in my chest RIGHTNOW! My symptoms don't seem to improve. I'm waiting it out hoping I don't have to go to the doctor but I might have to! I was in bed from 8:00 am until 4:30 in the afternoon. I slept very long hours Thursday and friday as well. My sinuses started to bother me yesterday and I am having horrible allergy symptoms. OTC Allergy meds don't seem to help but just make me really drowsy. I'm takign Maximum stregth Thera-flu, benydryl,Tussim(chest and cough) DM extra stregth and Aleve for the pain and fever. I don't seem to be improving. My chest pain continues to get worse. I'm not rushing to the ER about it though because I'm not running a 104 degree fever! The highest it gets is 101 degrees. I'm just thinking it's all viral and I just need to rest and wait it out. But I'm miserable. What makes it worse is, Boricua is working and I'm trying to take care of two small children myself.
Hopefully I'll start getting better very soon.

New York Fashion Week

This week has been the debut for tonz of designers Spring lines in New York City. I LOVE IT when Fashion Week comes! Every February and September! It's B-A-N-A-N-A-S!! I've been trying to stay updated on the shows and designers and I'm finding designers that I am in total LOVE WITH THEIR CREATIONS! I love love LOVE Fashion and seeings these designers create such amazing mater pieces with textiles! I wish I knew how to sew and sketch! It is such an amazing talent!

MATTHEW WILLIAMSON~ OH-MY-GOSH!!!!! The colors, the fabric, the lines, the DRESSES! Oh my!! THE DETAIL! He is AMAZING!!!! His work is kind of quirky yet so so chic and beautiful! He whipped out the fuchsias, the corals, the lime greens, the Salmon, the aquas, the yellows! WOWSERS! I was taken back! He made his whole Spring line so cohesive and totally wearable! I was blown away. There was crazy patterned fabric, reminiscent to the 80s, amazing handbags and clutches that 'went' and in your face shoes! Studded belts with frilly purple mini dresses, with floral embellished jackets! FLORALS PEOPLE! BE ON THE LOOK OUT FOR FLORALS!!! It's the HOTNESS!

CAROLINA HERRERA~ Chic, chic and CHIC! So beautiful, so chic and so lovely! It's definitely for the sophisticated Woman. She is the queen of Cocktail dresses! With her ruffles, bold reds, shiny black, marigolds and florals..WOW! SO exquisite!

AND OF COURSE....VICTORIA BECKHAM! Her line had only 15 looks and they were all dresses! It was sophistication to it's fullest! With body forming silhouettes, special seaming, alot of black and clean lines, you could never ever go wrong with any of these looks! I love Victoria Beckham! She's a force ot be reckoned with! She's brought back being Regal but with a ZIP!

There is so many designers, so many lines I LOVED, like Diane Von Furstenburg's 'Rock Goddess' Collection. It's girly, colorful, frilly, rebellious(in a good way) and so so beautiful!
If you want to see more Designer's Debuts, go to Style.com!! Jeez, they should pay me for this! haha!

I'll post some of my FAVORITE LOOKS!! PS~ it's the 2009 SPRING LINES!

UGH, SO SORE!!!

Last night was the first night I taught 3 consecutive dance classes in a row after several months of hiatus. OH MY GOSH. I am so sore. You name a part of the body and I gaurentee it's sore on me! Not only that, my foot hurts and I'm limping a little. I guess that's not a good thing. BUT~ that was the FIRST time dancing on my foot since it broke! My foot hung in pretty well! Nothing was re-broken! ;)

Just imagine; 3 non-stop hours of high energy, total conditioning, cardiovascular, high impact exercise after months of not doing it! I am BEAT!!! BUT man..I sure mised this feeling of having a beat up body! It feels so bad but sooo good!

The First Family Photos

Well, they're better than what we expected! Here are the 4 poses we liked best!

Family Photos

These pics give a little explanation of what our experience was for family pictures yesterday! The children were totally tweaked(maybe from the rain??), Wise didn't hold still, MAter wouldn't smile naturally, Prince kept on putting his hands to his mouth and he was super cranky. It was chaos getting all of us ready and in the end, Sear's computer crashed and we weren't able to look at our results! It was a GREAT experience! Atleast we all color coordinated, our hair stayed in tact and we finally got this family photo thing taken care of!
We'll see what came out of this wonderful madness on Monday!

Moving adventures!!

Don't we all love the process of moving??
I actually hate it! Hence not much of anything has gotten done yet and we are leaving in 4 weeks!
We did clean out our master closet yesterday and it resulted in: 5 bags of clothes, shoes and bags for the goodwill and four big boxes of garbage. It sounds like we're pack rats but we're NOT! It's amazing how much you cumulate in a matter of a few short years! I am so overwhelmed with it all! How am I going ot get all of this stuff done?
Here's a list of things we have to gt rid of:
Our sofa and loveseat and all of the accent pillows
the Tv Stand
The TV...2 Tvs actually.
Our cute vintage shappy chic desk
a toaster over
a filing rack
a computer desk and chair
dinig room table and chairs
two floor lamps
our queen size bed
4 dresser drawers
a crib
a toddler bed and mattresses
some bedding
2 old vacuums(trash)
some kids toys
3 bikes!! Yes, a children's one, a toddler one and a big wheel one.
a 94 merc benz 190 E, that needs a cadillac converter~ wanna buy it for 200.00?
some pillows and a few other misc items...hopefully I got it all....
We're taking the rest with us!
Hey, if you want anything, have at it. Some is crap and we're throwing it away or giving it to the goodwill.
I am not fully aware of what we're REALLY doing yet....just not yet. It's a big change.
Some pep talk?
We have SO MUCH TO DO!!
On top of clearing it all out, we have to clean this place spotless!

The Roaches have left.

Well, since I had my yelling match with the Rental Manager, some of the real issues have been taken care of. The very next day I expressed my deep frustration to her, she has the exterminator at my door, asking how the bug control was. According to him, he sprayed outside but the chemicals used are no where near they used to be and you have to do more than one treatment. I haven't seen one cockroach since. Not even the curb neat the road. That's where they nested. Luckily, we never had problems with them coming inside ever. These particular nasty bugs are oriental roaches and live in the dirt, near water and sewers. Ugh, so gross!
We still haven't been notified about the Sex Offender here. Which I think, legally, they are to notify neighbors ASAP. Who knows, he may not even be here anymore. I've never seen him out. I guess he was staying with some tenants here. Either permanently or temporarily. All I know is, he just got out of jail.
The inside of our building is still filthy. I am going to clean it myself today. THis will be the third time I've done this. I am going to notify the office of how many times I've cleaned. They pay cleaners to do it but they've neglected to do it lately. So, they need to know that I am doing it. They want to try to get me to pay a portion of teh water bill because when I used to faucet(to clean the outside of the building), it's a little corroded and I couldn't fully turn the faucet off the second time. I tried and tried for 10 minutes. I finally gave up, after Wise's crying fit, holding onto my leg, getting muddy and wet, PRince and MAter fighting, getting in my way and being loud. I threw the towel in and decided to rigg it off later. WEll, I totally forgot. TOTALLY. Yes, yes, I should've called the office but I forgot about it. There was too much going on. There's no way I can be charged for water. There's nothing in our contract that states to stay away from outdoor faucets. We were never notified and the faucet is corroded. I only used it ONCE to fill a big bucket(that leaked. There was no way I was going to haul a leaking bucket, with a crying 17 mo old, up and down 3 flights of stairs) so I could clean off the side of the building. So, there you have it.
I CANNOT WAIT TO BE A HOMEOWNER!!! Hopefully in the next few months, we'll be nestled in our first new home!

WE've worn out our welcome.

You know when it's time to go when issues continue to come up. I mean issues with your Lanlord/Property Management. Or even with the place you live at.
Since living in these apartments, they've gone down hill tremendously. We've felt at times as if we're living in the Projects! Not only that, it's apparent this complex is NOT condusive for little children to go out and play. We've had several complaints this past Summer from my kids and ME even being accused of using an out door faucet somehere I don't even know of. The kids went out and played with sidewalk chalk, they complained. I decided to wash it off with a bucket of water. I used an outdoor faucet, I knew was the only was that exsisted. They complained and Miss So'n'so yelled at me and bluntly hung up the phone. This is our person in charge of rentals. Okay, maybe I should'nt have used the faucet but I was cleaning up sidewalk chalk outside and felt it would be fine to use it. Then I get complaints over my kids toys and our stroller. Nobody in our building complained, so I don't know who the complainee was....they don't live in our building and the toys weren't obstructing any walk way. Then I'm accused of letting a visitor use our dumpster. That was wrong. It was our garbage in the back of her truck...seeing's how we don't have a truck.
Let me tell you the REALL issues that needed to be taken care of and seem to NOT get taken care of: We have a new registered sex offender that lives here now. There's been tagging done on the walls. There's a load of big cockroaches that nest just under the curb in front of the building and they're EVERYWHERE...we've been telling them for about 4 months now. Beer bottles and cigarette cartons are being left on the ground outside. Suspicious people and activity has been going on and a group of people decided to have a beer drinking get together on the side of the builidng. And trust me, these folks look like they cam right out of rehab or worse. The cadillac Converter was stolen off of our other car in the middle of the night. Teenagers during the School year love to hang out near here and have their, whatever they're doing sessions...it's nothing good. The inside of our building is filthy. I've gone out of my way to clean it twice, I've addressed Miss So'n'so about this and she still has done nothing for it.
So, issues with children going out and playing takes merit over the the issues I listed above.
Wow! I've had it here. It's time for us to get out of here!

Soosie in her natural state PT 2

ARRRGGGHHH!!!!

Soosie in her natural state...

Winky eyed, wierded out and tired!
need I say more?
hahaha!!
I love my life! NO, I really do!

DREAMS

I have very vivid, emotionally disturbing, stressful, intense and amazing dreams. I wake up, feeling as if I'm returning to my other life. I ask myself what these dreams might mean and why some dreams continue to reoccur. Some are so confusing and some are very emotional; whether positive or negative. Here are some subjects I've been dreamimg of and what they may interpret:

MY DYING (death):To dream of your own death, indicates a transitional phase in your life. You are becoming more enlightened or spiritual. To dream that you die in your dream, symbolizes inner changes, transformation, self-discovery and positive development that is happening within you or in your life. Although such a dreams may bring about feelings of fear and anxiety, it is no cause for alarm and is often considered a positive symbol. Dreams of experiencing your own death usually means that big changes are ahead for you. You are moving on to new beginnings and leaving the past behind. These changes does not necessarily imply a negative turn of events. Metaphorically, dying can be seen as an end or a termination to your old ways and habits. So, dying does not always mean a physical death, but an ending of something

DESSERT: To see a tasty dessert in your dream, represents indulgence, celebration, reward, or temptation. You are enjoying the good things in life.

DANCE:To dream that you are dancing, signifies freedom from constraints and harmony/balance with yourself. You are working in cooperation with yourself. It also represents frivolity, happiness, gracefulness, sensuality and sexual desires. Alternatively, it may signify intimacy and a union of the masculine and feminine aspects of yourself.
To dream that you are attending or going to a dance, indicates a celebration and your attempts to achieve happiness. Consider the phrase the "dance of life" which suggests creation, ecstasy, and going with what life has to offer you.
To see children dancing in your dream, signifies that you will have a comfortable home, and healthy, well-behaved children in the future.
Dance Recital:
To see a dance recital in your dream, signifies that you will be moving to another place to live.
To dream that you participate in a dance recital, signifies that you will be in conflict with your co-workers or classmates.

HOUSE ON FIRE:To dream that a house is on fire, indicates that you need to undergo some transformation. If you have recurring dreams of your family house on fire, then it suggests that you are still not ready for the change or that you are fighting against the change. Alternatively, it highlights passion and the love of those around you.

Break up: To dream that you break up with your significant other, indicates that there is something in your life that you need to let go no matter how hard it may be.

burning: To see something burning, indicates that you are experiencing some intense emotions and/or passionate sexual feelings. There is some situation or issue that you can no longer avoid and ignore. Alternatively, it may suggests that you need to take time off for yourself and relax.

education: To dream you are are anxious to obtain an education, symbolizes your desire for knowledge will put you on a higher level than your associates. You will be distinguished amongst your peers.

Embryo: To dream of an embryo, symbolizes the emergence of a fresh idea. Also, your unconscious feelings may be surfacing. Alternatively, it may refer to your feelings of vulnerability and your need to be protected. However if you are pregnant, it is quite common to see the embryo in your dream(although, I am NOT PREGNANT!)

renovating:To dream that you are renovating, signifies that old ideas or habits are being replaced by new ways of looking at the world and interacting with others. It is also an indication that you have triumph over much adversity.

lesbian:(Iknow, wiiieeerrrddd) To dream that you are renovating, signifies that old ideas or habits are being replaced by new ways of looking at the world and interacting with others. It is also an indication that you have triumph over much adversity.

old lover: To dream of an old or former lover, signifies unfinished/unresolved issues related to that specific relationship. Your current relationship may be awakening some of those same issues.

divorce: To dream that you are getting a divorce, indicates that you need to differentiate between things in your life and prioritize them. Alternatively, it may mean that you have a fear of separation. Also you may be not be satisfied with your present relationship. Divorce dreams may reflect real-life events and the stress that it brings. You may be wondering if you have made a mistake in some situation or decision Divorce dreams suggest a transitional phase or a time to change your old habits.

smoke:To see smoke in your dream, signifies that some trouble will be entering your life. You are suffering from confusion and anxiety. You are not seeing things clearly.

teeth: To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.

I could go on and on!! I'll keep you updated with my dreams and may blog about some of them that occur!
My crazy crazy subconscious mind!

DOVER PICS!!!!

I took over 130 pictures and,well, I wont post them all!
We had a nice time getting away for the week! Three roudy boys in a little hotel room got a little hairy at times! SO we spent alot of time at the pool! On Wednesday, we drove to Killins Stae Park and played at their AWESOME waterpark all afternoon. Even Wise hung on for four hours in the sun! The kids loved it that much. And you wouldn't believe how cheap it was! It was so great.
Our whole trip is being paid for too!
It's good to be home again...now back to my normal routine!!
