me and my cuz

This is my cuz on my dads side. I never really kept up with him until I heard he was going through the same yucky stuff as me. He has been a great confidant and we were really able to understand each others love stricken, broken hearted divorce drama. Whenever I think of my longsuffering, his situation is so much worse. I don't know how he does it. I have so much more then he does to keep me from going insane. I have family, friends and the understanding of the gospel. Through all this yuckiness the lord has delivered blessings. I see them! It's like drowning and having that small moment where you come to the surface and get a big gasp of air before going under again. For those who have put me in your prayers I am forever grateful. I see the light at the end of the tunnel. I still have alot of spiritual growing to do. I pray I can know what to say and how to act when it comes to Adolfo. What to say and how to act when talking to my kids concerning this mess. My emotions are many and I know I can do this with the Lords help. Thanks again to all and if its not to much trouble would still appreciate my families names in the temple and prayers on our behalf. Love you guys!!

Admin. Assist. Day!

I was having such a bad start of my week. Monday morning I heard on the radio that two kids that I use to teach at Cooper Elem.died over the weekend. There father was driving five kids in the van an was drunk and doing drugs and kills all the kids in the vehicle. These same kids two years ago saw there teacher die right in front of there eyes. I was so angry. These kids had already been through so much! Tuesday morning my boss lost her baby. She had such a hard time getting pregnant. I couldn't imagine her pain. Things started looking up with a couple of stress relievers. We had a cino de mayo celebration at the college and my co-workers sent me flowers for Administration Assistant Day. I was so surprised. I didn't even know there was such a day. There is so much bad in the world, little surprises make a world of difference.

Fun with our Income Tax Return

Purchases: Amulek is awesome with is hands. He is better then "Bob the Builder" I remember when he was little he said that he helped the lord build this earth and I believe he did! This is the bunk beds we bought with the income tax money and he put it together. Buying him a fancy tool box kit was another purchase. Amalekia got a bar-b-que pit cause he loves to bar-b-que! Some lady is going to be lucky to get him as a husband. Amerika wouldn't have a prom dress if it wasn't for tax return money. Lucky timing Amerika. Our van got a uhaul, all four brake pads and all four tires were replaced. Camcorder and camera are essential for all memories of the heart. Thank You Uncle Sam!

Amerika's Prom!

Amerika Sanchez went to the prom!! I texted everyone I knew saying: MY BABY IS ALL GROWN UP! I'M GONNA CRY!She looked so beautifuol and had a blast. She did the graduation lockdown and was exhausted the next morning.
