Today has been a ruff emotional day for me. It all started with a nightmare that woke me up this morning causing me not to go back to sleep. And the thought of it keeps popping into my mind. It was such a vivid dream that it Marlee and Kai while she went to a meeting with her oldest son’s coach. And somehow at 12:40 a.m. I am still here. I was just saying that I need to get going. And I plan to as soon as i’m done doing a few things. So while I wait I decided I would post in my blog about what, I really didn’t know.

I am just feeling so emotional right now that if I let my self the tears would roll out. And to tell you the truth I’m not even sure why I am feeling this way. Maybe it’s because I’m happy? I have a great husband who loves me, who is changing his life to make me happy. I love you too Baby

I have some really great friends in my life. Angela, Jeni, and Kerri… thanks for all being there and being so supportive you have all had such a major roll in my life. Of course all of my other friends as well. I don’t know what I would do with out one of you. I love you all so very much.

And of course my family. Mom, Dad, Jen, Telmera, Nikki, Tyson and Sean and everyone else who are we without our family? I love you all more then I ever choose to say or admit.

Well no pictures to show off. Only left the house to come here and to pay a bill earlier. So nothing has caught my attention yet.

A Medieval Wedding

May-29-2006

Yesterday Ivan and Randee tied the knot at 3:30 pm. We had a great time the actual scheduled time for the Wedding event was 3:30p.m. till 8:00p.m. But of course we were all welcomed to stay longer if we were in Garb (costumes) I wasn’t but was able to borrow something from the Bride to wear so I would be able to stay longer and party. Angela really wanted to stay because she was having a great time. Originally I was supposed to go with Mohcine but it turned out he couldn’t make it and had to work. So since I RSVP’d for two I was going to bring two. Angela was sure that I would have a better time with her anyhow lol, she wasn’t to far off. We ended up staying till 1a.m. And by that time I knew after driving Angela back home (since I turned into the designated driver) that I wouldn’t want to drive another 15 minutes to my house so I crashed at Angela’s again.

I took so many pictures (about 60 of em) so I will only post a few of my fav’s here but you can find the rest in a slide show presentation found in the link below. Angela provided some of the pics with her camera. These pictures are also in no particular order

A Great Saturday

May-27-2006

Well today was definitely not one I would ever mark down as being boring. Was invited to two different gettogethers. One with Angela, her kids and mom. The other with my whole family. Well everyone but Sean and Lissette. Not sure why they didn’t come.

I woke up at 7 a.m. to get some work done before going up to Escondido to go to Dixon Lake with Angela and her family. Got it taken care of around 10ish then started to do a little side work for my own personal site and my laundry. About 12:30ish I head up to Escondido.

Get up there have a hot dog and chat for a few. Angela decides she wanted to take a walk with Marlee but somehow that turned into Marlee wanting to read a story. I saw them laying on the blanket reading and thought it was so cute, grabbed my camera before I lost the perfect shot.

While they were reading Armando and Patty (his grandma) figure out how to set up the new fishing rod

After we were in the water for a little Kai soon found out he didn’t like being in the boat and Angela and Armando found out that rowing was way to much work lol. We came in for a few then Angela went to rent a pedal boat.

Off we go in the pedal boat talk about a workout lol

After the pedal boat I realized it was time for me to go. So I could meet up with Mohcine at home to leave for my family’s dinner party. So since I wasn’t staying for dinner with Angela and family I take it with me (well a picture of it starting to cook lol) food never looks that good when it’s first starting to cook (sorry guys)

Ribs and Corn

So I finally am on the road back home hit some traffic and see this Car thing. I knew that I wanted to try and take a picture but wasn’t going to attempt while in traffic so I wait till we are all going our normal speeds. I just happen to have my camera right next me. I see it coming along side me in my side mirror grab my camera and took the shot as it swooshed by.

Kai Gets an Award

May-26-2006

Angela asked me if I wanted to go watch her youngest Son Kai receive an award today at his school. He didn’t even know we were coming or that he was getting one. So I said sure, why not? After the award ceremony Angela and I hit up the local Starbucks then did a little window shopping.

He got an award for his love of science

Picking up his certificate
