Top Moments of 2011

First off I would like to say that 2011 was a GREAT year, I don’t know how God’s gonna top it in 2012! IM READY!

These are in no particular order (except for #1 because it really is #1) 

1. Reading the entire bible in a year (via the youversion online plan, its great you should do it) and REALLY understanding some new and familiar portions of it. #Newinsights

2. GRADUATING college with all my nursing school buddies! Scary and fun at the same time! :)

3. Watching the NBA dunk contest for the 1st time and seeing BG fly! :) 

4. Getting my first “real” job as a teacher and meeting some AWESOME fellow staff members! My team is great!

5. Going to the rodeo for the very first time with my girls Gloria and Kathleen. Oh man all I remember is eating too much and that scary, SCARY ferris wheel ride!

6. My best friend JASMINE picking me up on my birthday when I was depressed and I had cancelled all my plans. She took me to go eat sushi and talk about boys and she listened to me for the entire lunch (that she paid for). Thennnn she dropped me back off at home and called me 2 more times to keep cheeing me up all day! LOVE THAT GIRL more than anything. (Shhhh I love you just slightly more than I love Mariah and B put together. Slightly)

7. Beginning of the year celebration with friends and having Kathleen giving us tours in her neck of the woods.

8. Not getting to go on a road trip to Austin and the Omicron crew came through to perk me up and bring me birthday gifts! They don't know what they did for me :)

9. Rediscovering my passions/desires! 

10. Interviewing for the University of La Verne and rocking the HECK out of it! I met the Dean of my school and the President of the entire University!

11. The many, many, many countless ways God moved in my life this year! 

Please tell me yours if you had some great moments!

L.A. Photoblogging

Ok so I'm getting the hang of uploading photos on this thing :)

Here is more of my Los Angeles trip...

The drive up to La Verne! Check out the mountains in the back :) They are gorgeousness in real life!

That light again, I don't know but it just spoke to me and i have got to use it for wedding cake design when i get married....

CALAMARI, I am absolutely in love with this stuff and I could eat it every day, for real EVERYDAY! I was sad that I couldn't watch the Clipper/Laker game but this cheered me up :)

Great steak house in West covina

Racist bobble head in the hotel gift shop

The hotel lobby! I stayed at the West Covina Raddisson Inn, cheap (58$) and nice looking :)

View out of the hotel window, these are all taken on my phone camera and it is a great view.

I liked the iron bars again :)

Me waking up in the hotel... FRESH DAY

getting ready for my interview :0) BTW thanks be to GOD, I rocked it out!!!

Bacon PANCAKES!

Not much of a wordy post today but uhhhhh

I have to put you all onto some game...

Bacon Pancakes

Its very very easy to make

1. Make your pancake mix (I use the stuff from the box)
2. Sprinkle bacon on top while cooking----- (I use "real bacon bits" from the bag lol)
3. Flip that pancake and eat

This is a real photo from this mornings breakfast, pair it with some eggs and YUMMM

L.A. Vacay!

Ok so I went to L.A. specifically to visit a college for my masters. I want to attend the UNIVERSITY OF LA VERNE for my masters in Child Life Sciences.

Ok I have not figured out how to integrate these pictures in very well so I will just have to describe each one LOL

#1.This is the view as you drive up to the school....

Breathtaking huh?

#2. This is the one picture I took on campus while my interviewer stepped off to the side.

So I stayed with family most of the time for my visit. Check out my family! My 2 sisters and my nephew :)

#4. Now one night in order to be close to the school I felt I needed to stay at a hotel in West Covina. The next morning I went to go eat brunch at the hotel restaurant (Hamilton's Steakhouse) ANDDDD I will say the food was divine! I had a club sandwich and calamari YUM ! Anyways I looked up and this was the light above me. STUNNING. I am sooooo using this as a wedding cake design










#5. Hollywood sign as I was driving to visit a friend.

Its been too long!

My, my, my... It has been far too long! I have missed you blogger babies.

Well so much has happened since August....

1. First off,God and my best friend hooked me up with a job. THAT'S right a real live professional job. I'm a teacher now lol! It is rough some days but it is rewarding. Its not the kids that are rough...

2. My relationship with the Lord is changing and getting stronger! :) Yeahhhh buddy

3. I am pursuing a part of my dream of become a Child Life Specialist (If you don't know what that is Google it) :)

4. I just got back from Los Angeles from a wonderful 4 day vacay alllll bymyself! POWER! POWER! POWER!

I am gonna commit to blog at least once a week :)

That's all for now, LA post coming up soon!

Let me tell you a little something...

So TODAY WAS FANTASTIC

Last week at church we had a soaking experience... If you have never done one, you should. Go google it. It is basically where you sit, lay, stand, wahetever in the presecne of god and music and just listen to what God tells you.

OK so here is what God told me last week: YOU READY? YOU SURE? ITS AMAZZZZZZZZZING

1. Be still and stop worrying so much. I have it under control.

2. By this time next week you will have a job.

3. I love you very much.

Now... number two was VERY VERY perplexing to me. I live in Texas and JUST finished an Alternate Certification program for teaching...Like 2 weeks ago...School starts in 3 days from now. HOW IN the HECK is God gonna get me a job when there is 3 days before school starts.

How crazy of me to think the creator couldn't or wouldn't do something, because he has come through IN FULL EFFECT! Today (a week from the soaking). God has had 3 different schools calling me to come interview!
How wonderful is HE!

Updates to come soon.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
UPDATE DEC 2011- GOD got me a job that very day! LOL I am a teacher now at one of those elm schools that called me!

God is good! again

ALL I CAN SAY IS GOD IS GOOD :)
