A New Day!

Is it time to create a New Day?! A New Start?! I'm thinking about it....most seriously. After all...Isn't Easter about new beginnings?

Welcome Spring!

Today was another beautiful day. I began what will be called my "entrance" back into the workout world again. It felt good. It's good to be back. I stepped outside this morning to breathe in the fresh air. The birds were singing their early morning greetings to the world. All was peaceful. I allowed the moment to "Just Be". And it was. I tried to carry that moment with me throughout the day but it was hard. It's so easy to get caught up in life. I hope you can all take a moment each day to "Just Be". Happy Spring and God Bless.

On Wednesday, March 21st, 2007 my oldest born will turn

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

A Little Birdy...

A little Birdy told me to update but I got nothin to say. The Job search is once again on since I just couldn't stand the thought of selling advertising and the stress was killing me. Sooo....I got nothin! Reeeally! Nothin! Just depressing.

Our Manzanillo, MX trip

This was my hangout for coffee in the morning and Siesta in the afternoon.
It was beautiful and sooooo relaxing. Wish I was there!

A Perfect End to A Perfect Day!

One More Day...

Just one more day to relax and sit in the beautiful sunshine. I hear you've all been having beautiful weather there too. Yesterday Rick and I went into Manzanillo and did some touristy things...shopped, had lunch by the ocean, and just walked around taking in the sights. It was fun! Then we came back to the resort and sat in the sun for a few hours. Rick made dinner reservations at a beautiful restaurant so we took a taxi ride to the top of a hill and had dinner on a patio overlooking the ocean while we watched the sunset and the waves crashing into the shoreline. "What a perfect husband...he's so romantic!" Tonight we will have a lovely dinner at on the ocean again. It will be a perfect way to wrap up our heavenly vacation. I'll see you when we get back!

A Sunny Day at the Beach...

I can't upload any pictures because we forgot our adaptor for the computer and you can't buy one that will work for our cameras here in Mexico so I'll just have to describe it in detail and post pics later...ok? It is in the mid 80's every day and sunny :) Yesterday Rick and I spent the day at the beach relaxing, reading, eating, and snorkeling(saw some beautiful fishes). Yes, we got sunburned. Today we traveled on the local public bus to a small town called Mirimar. If you've never taken the public bus before, you must do it. It's quite the experience in itself! We then spent time at the beach (again...I know you're all jealous) and went shopping in the local flea market. Fun! We sat on the beach and swam in the ocean. Rick even got his toes nibbled by some fish. Aaaaahhhhhh (sigh). Then we came back to our resort and ate a late lunch and swam in one of the 7 connected pools here at the resort (and yes...we got even more sunburned). Rick is taking a siesta right now while I hack on the computer. Tonight we eat on a patio by the ocean. I think it will be romantic. I can't believe you can eat in the open air with NO BUGS!! Aaaaaaahhhhh (relax). Tomorrow we'll visit the town of Manzanillo. We'll visit the statue of Snoopy (located in time square) and say hello. Did you know that Manzanillo is the sister city to St. Paul? That's why they have a statue of Snoopy (he's holding a fishing pole and wearing a fishing hat). It promises to be a fun and beautiful day. Every night Rick and I go sit out by the ocean and take in the beauty. All the lights in the surrounding hills by the ocean, the yachts and huge ships in the bay, and the quiet creeking of crickets accompanied by the waves hitting the shoreline. God's gifts to us! I will appreciate them and thank him for the wonder! Until later....may you all be blessed.

New Post...Blah!

I don't have anything to post...don't know how I feel about my job. I don't feel good anymore. Tired, Exhausted ALL the time. Waivering on the edge. Will it get better? Hmmmm....I wonder.

Wish Me Luck!

New job Monday! It's always nerve wracking to begin a new journey. Expecially heading into the unkonwn. I'm quite nervous. I know everyone says..."You'll be fine". I know that. Now tell that to my stomach, OK? Wish me Luck!

Happy 23rd Birthday Brianna!

Congratulations!

You're all growed up!!

The Good Times Roll...

Last Saturday afternoon was spend with 4 of my old High School Buddies. It was an amazing afternoon and one I hope we repeat again soon!
Jackie...you may recognize the girls since you and I graduated the same year. It has been over 20 years since I've seen 2 of them and yet, when we reunited, it was just like the old times again. How wonderful!

CONGRATULATIONS KOMETTES!!

Today was an exciting day spent at the Winter Carnival Dance Team Competition in Mounds View. The KoMettes Varsity Team began the day with a few problems (hopefully they will all be resolved soon) and struggled to keep their focus. They ended up taking home a 2ND AND 3RD PLACE trophy from the AA division. The Junior Varsity seemed to have a bit more luck on the dance floor. They took home 2 FIRST PLACE trophies and the Performance Team followed the Junior Varsity with the 2nd place trophy!! It was all amazing!! The girls did an excellent job and we're all looking forward to seeing the Varsity "UP THE ANNIE" at Sections in 2 weeks. It should be incredible. Thanks to my wonderful "cuzzin" KaTHY and Randy and Lindsay Rae for allowing Megan and me to come along with them. It was the funnest day I've had since before Oct. 1st. (And I'm not kidding....how sad is that?!).
For all of you who think I'm MIA...I'm baaaack! Because of the slow retail sales at the mall I will now be entering the 40 hour per week career oriented, goal setting, salary earning, community of citizens. I was offered a position with the Post Bulletin of Rochester in Executive Account Sales. It will be interesting and another challenge to meet. If the stress of this past Holiday season didn't kill me then I don't think moving into a new career will either (although my heart tells me different). Oh well. It is what it is and I'm thankful to have been offered such an exciting career opportunity. Wish me Luck!
Love you all!
