Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent."~Calvin Coolidge
"It is not length of life, but depth of life."~Ralph Waldo Emerson
"Within each of us lies the power of our consent to health and sickness, to riches and poverty, to freedom and to slavery. It is we who control these, and not another."~Richard Bach (Illusions)

Happy 32nd Wedding Anniversary to my wonderful parents!!!
Wishing you many more years of love, success, happiness and plenty of adventures (in life and abroad)! Thank you for teaching me what true love truly means! Your lessons will always be with me, no matter where life takes me!
I apologize for the lack of entries...I'm officially addicted to Facebook.
I am going to try to update my xanga again...I thought about giving it up but I can't...too many wonderful memories on here.
I can't complain much. GOD has been so generous to me and those I love! My family & friends are happy, healthy and safe. My husband and I survived our first year of marriage and though there were some rough patches (as with any relationship,) we worked them through together and realize more than ever how strong our faith and love is! J still keeps me laughing almost everyday!
Work is super busy...I'm swamped but I love it--not being sarcastic here! Seriously! I truly have the best coworkers ever and feel truly lucky to have a good job in this economy (did I mention we got a bonus and a raise recently?) *insert shocked face here* Most people I know either lost their job or didn't get a raise to help them keep their job. Like I said, GOD has been super generous! I definitely have a lot to be grateful for!
So there you have it...cliff notes on my life as of now LOL. Perhaps its the lack of sleep (I told myself I'd be in bed by 1130...it is now an hour after) but before I go, I wanted to share this song with you...makes me smile everytime I hear it. I hope you like it too!

I was honored to do the 2nd reading for my friends' wedding. Their wedding was one of the best we've ever been to! Had a blast!
My sister's 31st Bday!
The family got together and had a fabulous lunch at Shogun. Cake cutting and presents were opened at our apartment. I love Normandie's reaction to the heat from the Hibachi grill. She didn't cry. She just had a look like "why is that so hot?" LOL Great times! Love family hangouts!
