Finally!!!

I finally have a place of my own!! I am so excited :) There were times I thought it would never happen. I moved out of my last place almost 2 years ago and put everything in storage. It was such a good feeling to see my storage unit empty a few days ago. I think I almost cried. These past few years have been a struggle finding out where I needed to be and if I would ever have my own place again. I have tried to learn to be patient about things but it was hard! I prayed a lot and shed many tears. I am so happy to finally have my prayers answered :)



I will post better pics once I get all unpacked and decorated :)

Man I miss these kids!!!!

I had to steal this from my sisters blog because its so cute :)

Sad :(

Lately I have been thinking about my family and the holidays coming up. I realized this will be the first year I haven't spent almost a week with my family during Christmas. I will only be home for 2 days and its breaking my heart that I cant spend more time with my family :( I am grateful I have a job but pretty sad I cant get home to see the family more.

Sometimes there are some interesting things that happen at my place of employment that make me laugh and wonder if people have a brain. Of course I cant laugh at them since I have to act professional. Today a customer was trying to pay for some things and she handed over her id and credit card. Her name did not match the males name on the credit card and he was no where in site. So I called her on it and she said it was her husbands card so I asked if she had any id with a matching last name on it. She said no. I asked if there was a way she could verify that was her husbands card so guess what she flashes in my face.....her wedding ring! Seriously!!!!!! How can I verify the guy that bought her that???

Hello??????

Does anyone still read my blog ??? I might try and do a better job of posting things for the 3 of you out there that may still occasionally stop by ;) No promises though!

Maybe one day.....

I can return to this place


I decided I need to go back to visit China again. Well actually I have been thinking about it for a few months now. I have no idea when it will work out but I want to return soon. Some of you know that occasionally I make jewelry, well a friend asked me to fix a few things. Today I pulled out all my beads and it made me think of shopping for them in Shanghai. Oh how I love the shopping in China!!! Yes you might get shoved around and asked a million times to buy shoes, watches and handbags but I still love the experience :) Maybe one day in the near future I can return.

Happy Times!!!!

Today I am a proud Aunt!!! Its hard to really put into words how I feel right now. I am sooooo happy!! My nephew is finally with his family!!!! I cant wait to meet him....just 3 weeks to go :) It is such a blessing to become an Aunt again. Brooklyn has brought such joy to my life over the past few years and I cant wait to have the same experience with Robert Matthew. These kids hold a special place in my heart!! I am praising God today, He is so good!!!

Brooklyn loving on her new brother!

What a great looking family!!!
