New Phone DRAMA

I have been thinking lately about changing phone carriers all together. I miss the blackberry and being connected to the world...but the durability of the phone (for me atleast) had come up short. however, I am Thinking about switching to the Iphone. My verizon bill is constantly creaping up. Aldo broke his phone 2 weeks after having it and I have the Verizon envy touch now which is like "really hard to adjust to" and the hearing quality is not so good. If I'm not calling you its because i have lost all phone numbers 3 times now on 3 seperate phones that I have gone through in the last month and a half. SOOOOOO, please give me a hollar because chances are I dont have your number and cant call ya back. I was out of a phone all together for about 9 days and didnt mean to not get back to you...i might go back to smoke signals....

I love this Pix....from our photo shoot

My BFF is pregnant

Ashley and Jeremy are expecting their 1st baby in April. She called the other day and was talking for about 30 minutes about everything that has been happening throughout this pregnancy. During that time she got sick no less than 3 times, I never knew it was so rough. I always assumed that morning sickness meant that you puked every morning when you woke up....Spontaneous vomiting, one time, thats it. But no, Its so much worse. Sorry Cynthia, I know you just went through this, Pick on me when its my turn.lol...:)

Music online

..there is a site that i found that is awesome for streaming music, nonstop, without commercials. You can access it on your Iphone, blackberry or computer.....Its called pandora.com. Its a nusic website and you can type in anysong or theme, or thought you want and it will make a radio station for you. try it, its awesome.

Our Photographer and friend....

We have the best photographer ever (Jason and susie)....He and his wife had a baby the other day and they were given some tough news a couple days later. Their baby is at home with them but might have some serious health issues ahead. They have a beautiful family, please place them in your prayers. thanks, aldo and reaah

Taco and maya

Well, the dogs are the best of friends. Maya has been on Rimadyl for her arthritic hips and she is jumping around again. It took about a month to get into her system. As for Taco, she is full of energy....she got sick on the floor this morning...maya just had a parasite infection....finally got her over that...thanks to pills,aldo cleaning it up before i got home, mother in laws, vets, stool samples, and Publix steam vacs, wall scent pluggs, the downstairs is now free of odor. wow.

A blog is a great idea...for saving PIXS

and a way to preserve pictures. I lost all the info on my old computer because it crashed and the back up failed. BYE BYE to all the info i had saved on there...amazingly enough i saved to paper the most important info about a week before it went/crashed/died. anyways...starting this blog gave me a ton of pictures that are locked on the superhighways of the internet.
One thing I want to do is to create a password to access this internet site. If anyone knows how to do that , let me know.

Congratulations

On saturday, Aldo went to watch a basketball tournament. When he arrived they offered him to play on the team...he walked away with the MVP award and they won every game...so he came home with that award as well. Also, that night he participated in a run with about 500-600 other people and came in 7th over all and 2nd in his racing group. He is awesome.

Today, he took me out in the ocean in a canoe and we paddled way up the beach and back again....rode in some waves and it was cool after i let the thought of the terror of tipping over wear off. I am deathly afraid of the ocean and water that is deep. He is helping me to get over my fear. It's ming over matter right.

TOmorrow we work.

I cant wait for mom to come into town...it will be awesome to see her and dave. It is still nice here, about 95 degrees. LoVE It.

My friend Candice is going through a lot right now with her family. Please keep her in your prayers, hard times face everyone, some more than others, and when it hits its a test of your faith and strength. Just pray that the right decisions will be made and that she will be strong. thank you.

Aldo and I are doing great. We are busting out of the seams of this condo...my stress level hits 1 million every time i walk in the garage. I dont know exactly when we will find a house or make a decision on one...but when that is, i just want it to be the right one.

Gotta go for now, I have tried multiple times to upload our engagement pics but it doesnt work....i will try again.

Miss all the family,

What Aldo and i learned this past week is to let your convictions and good character guide you.

What Love Is....

1 Corinthians 13:4
"Love is patient and kind.
It does not envy,
it does not boast,
it is not proud.
It is not rude,
it is not self seeking,
it is not easily angered,
it keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil,
but rejoices with the truth.

It always protects,
always trusts,
always hopes,
always perseveres.
Love never fails.".

Who'ld a Thunk it

Amazing sunset

Psalm 19
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,

So , we went over to Laurens parents house on the intercoastal and got to see an awesome sunset. Our photo shoot was awesome...we are amateures but out "game " is improving....:)
