As promised, here is the video about Knit, Pray, Love :)

So for a month before Christmas I got a HUGE urge to learn how to knit and crochet (thank you Pintrest).  I saw so many cool things to make on there using looms, knitting and crocheting!  So for Christmas I asked for knitting looms and a book called “Stich ‘n Bitch”.  Well mom came through (of course she did, her and dad are my “Santa”)! As soon as I could I went to Michaels and bought a skein

Ok so I’ve become addicted (yes…ADDICTED) to Pintrest!  It is the most awesome website in the world!  It is a bunch of people posting anything and everything from the internet! (can you tell how excited I am from all the exclamation points?) Anywho, I came across a picture of a lady scrubbing the carpet and I clicked on the picture, which took me to her blog where she explained that she used

Ok so ever since 9th grade I knew I was “unique” when it came to illnesses.  Back in 9th grade I went camping out at Lake O’Neil with Girl Scouts (yes, I was still a Girl Scout in high school) and had a great time.  But a few days later I developed a strange rash on my body and arms.  Mom thought I was having a reaction to a new laundry detergent.  We rewashed all of my clothes and bedding in the

I found myself in Tri City Hospital starting the process of bringing a beautiful life into the world.  I had no idea if I would be a mother to a son or a daughter, but either way I wanted the best for them.  I wanted them to have a mom and a dad who were going to be there for them and provide the type of home I grew up in.  I knew that his father would not be in the picture. After only a few

Almost a year ago I met a fantastic man named Hazen Whitaker.  We met on PlentyofFish.com (an online dating website).  I was skeptical when I first started looking on there at the guys.  They all seemed like losers.  But then 1 day I stumbled upon a profile of a guy named Hazen.  He recently was stationed here to Camp Pendleton and was looking for someone to hang out with.  He wanted to learn to

So this week I “officially” started training for the 10k.  Needless to say…HOLY CRAP I WAS SORE!  I found a couch to 5k training guide and I changed it up for my personal training.  It had me walking 2 minutes and running 1.5 minutes.  I changed it to me running 2-4 minutes depending on how I was feeling and walking 1-2 minutes.  I felt good after going for 30 minutes and I was only short 1/2

  Ok so earlier this week I was sitting in my office at work and looking on Facebook on my phone (yep...I like to call it multi tasking) and I saw that my cousin Megan had posted something for a half marathon up in Disneyland. Now for the past few months Scott, my cousin Megan's husband, has been training to run with Bill and Holly in a 1/2 marathon at the Wild Animal Park (I refuse to call it

Ok, so I just saw that my last blog was actually 1 year ago and I wrote that I was going to be on here more and more, but actually that ended up being my last blog, haha. Lets try this again :)This year I have no resolutions and I have not set any sort of expectations at all this year. It seems like when I set them I get disappointed of the things that didn't happen. My verse for this year is

Well, it has been a while since I last blogged, but once again this year I plan on blogging more (we will see how it goes).Last year was a true year of finding myself. I started off 2009 with going back to school online at Calvary Chapel Online. I loved it! Surprisingly I passed Hermenutics (Bible interpretation) and then started Genesis. Unfortunaetly I was unable to finish that class, but I

Dear God,OK, OK I get it....I need to start praying again and harder than before. Last night with Pastor Abel's' message on prayer and how we need to continually run the race of endurance no matter how hard or uncomfortable it may seem to us now, we know that it is for the betterment of our relationship with you.You have given me the book of Psalms to start studying in my daily devotional and

I've known for a very long time that cancer has run in my family and it has taken away both of my grandparents on my mom's side (Grandmom and Popo) but it has raised it's ugly head again. My most favorite aunt in the whole wide world, Aunt Jamie, has just been diagnosed with breast cancer and lymphoma.Grandmom and meA couple of weeks ago she let us know that she had found a mass in her breast and

So over the past month or so, I have been drawing closer to God. It is incredible!!!!! I can honestly say that He has been showing himself to me more than ever. A few weeks ago, when Dave came back into the picture, I was feeling super anxious about something. I had a dream one night that God was putting me at a fork in the road. 1 way was Dave and the possibility of having another shot at a

So tonight in class, there was about maybe 15 minutes left for the teacher to finish his lesson and we still had an entire chapter to finish, Genesis 5. This lists 10 men in the lineage of Adam. I thought to my self, "Great, he's going to start talking and half way through he will get cut off and I will have to listen to the next lesson to finish this chapter!" He started talking about how

This week was a little bit different than the rest. It started out with me...loosing my camera! I looked all over the place for it! I had been doing some cleaning and it was no where to be found. So as I was laying down on my couch Thursday night, there it was under the table! Of all places for it to be! I was all ready to go out and buy an "adult camera", lol. Not the point and shoot kind, but a

Here's my week:July 5th: My poor feet! I wore the cutest heels to the STP concert on Saturday, but man-o-man, they killed my feet! I have 5 blisters and my "ring" toe on my left foot feels so wierd. Its like I have something wrapped around it.July 6th: Well today I have officially lost 50 lbs! I still have some omre to loose, and I really want to loose them soon!July 7th: Just got done

So a group of P-1's (friends who listen to the Mikey show) are all going to the Harry Potter Preview on the 15th.......THEY ARE ALL SOLD OUT! So it is looking like I will be seeing it later than everyone else.Oh well.

So it's been about a month since I was last on here, and on my burfday (hehe) I made a promise to myself to get back on here at least once a week and start journaling and posting pics :) Well last week was kinda a crazy one. I had to do inventory again (it's now a quarterly thing up in Los Angeles) and granted we were able to get it all done in a single day...I might have to go back up and

I'm so excited that I only have about 4 weeks left of school, but then I realize that I have a term paper to write. Ummmm yeah it's been about 11 years since I have written one. Granted it does not have to be MLA format, but still. All the research I have to do and right now I have about 6 books opened up around me, plus the laptop on my lap.The empty spot is where I sit :)I forgot how much work

So since moving into my new and small apartment, I have not really baked anything. I did bake some yummy cinnamon rolls for a friend at work and his birthday, but that was about it.But this past weekend (and continuing this week) I have been baking pretty much non-stop. Why you ask? Well this upcoming weekend (the 16th) my church is having ahomeless outreach at Bucaneer park out in Oceanside. Mom

So I get home tonight around 7:30 and start walking up my stairs, when I am stopped by this woman who happens to have a Sheriff badge around her neck. She asks if I have seen the people who live below me and I told her yes. She asked if I knew what time they are typically home. My first questions is, are you looking for a guy?Side note-Now, there is a guy and his mom (I think) who live below me.

I have been so busy over the past few months that I completely forget to come on here and update what's been going on in my life. So here we go:I have officially started school which is taking up much more time than what I thought it would. Why was I expecting that my Hermeneutics class would be a simple class? I mean it is a class on basic Bible interpretation. Ummmm trying to translate without

Well after 3 years of it being on my heart, I am finally taking steps to attending Calvary Bible College online! I Have been thinking about this for the past 3 years and it seems like every year around this time, God puts it back on my heart again. Well I was thinking about all of the people in the Bible who ignored and didn't do what God told them to do and what He had to do in order to get

So  here we go, week 2 of this: Jan 4:  I finally got my garage organized...1 small step for man, 1 GIANT step for me, lol   Jan 5:  It was the start of a new delivery schedule for my PruFlo water that I love Jan 6:  Jason and I went to the gym tonight and on the way home, we stopped off at Panera, yummy Jan 7:  Over the weekend Hunny was not doing so well.  She vomited a few times

  Ok so last time I wrote I was super excited about this whole Project 365. It is basically a project where you take 1 picture each and every day of the year. I figured that I will have my album here for my to work on, but I also figured that I would share it here. So here is week 1:

So one of my New Years "goals" (I hate the word resolution) is to be more organized this year. I have a second room in my apartment and ever since Brad moved out I've been using that room as a huge crap catcher. Anytime I've had company coming over, I throw whatever I don't want people to see in that room. Well the past month or so I've wanted to turn it into my scrapbook room and get this

So the websites sever was slammed this morning from all over the world to get this kit, but I went back to try and get it...and I got it!!!!!

Well it's officially 2009 and I am sitting on my computer waiting to purchase a (what I think) is a really cool scrapbooking kit. It's called Project 365. What it is, is a really simple way to scrapbook for each and every single day of the year! And its not really scrapbooking either. You take a picture for everyday and slide it into a page protector that is all divided to hold 7 pictures and a

Last year around this time I was not into the "Christmas Spirit" at all.  I had lost my last remaining grandparent who I felt the closet too.  Maybe it was because he was around the longest, but I was just out of it.  I did the bare minimum and pretended that I was happy and joyful.  Well this year is the other end of the spectrum!  I got my Christmas tree last weekend with Jason and Bill and

  So this weekend was the dreaded "Black Friday" weekend.  I was a smart girl and decided to stay home on Friday!  There was no way I was coming out of my apartment except to take Hunny out for walks.  So what did I do.... I SCRAPBOOKED!!!!!!  I am way behind on the online course I am taking, and so this weekend while Jason was at work, I started getting caught up.  Yesterday I started working

So this year my mom trusted me with making Thanksgiving dinner! I was informed of this a few months ago when the church announced that they were going to have a Thanksgiving dinner. It was mainly to benefit the homeless in our community but families from our church also showed up and had dinner with them. They also had a clothing store (of course at no charge) and mobile showers so they could

So here is an update with everything that is going on (per Cindy's request).I am officially in a relationship (yes again!) but with an amazing guy, Jason. We have been together for a little over a month and I am now realizing what a true gentleman is. So many times in the past I thought I had found one, but they only turned out to be toads. Jason is everything, at least so far, I have been

OK so I know I said that I would blog more a few months ago, but it seems like I barely have ANY free time! I mean I have time to do the things that I have to do (not necessarily want to do) but I cannot believe it is almost the end of October. So the things that have been going on:I am still able to make time for me :) That was one of the things that I was missing out on over the past year. It

OK, so I am so excited that The Amazing Race is back on! I watch it and think, "I can so do that!" And now that I am getting into better shape, I see no reason I couldn't do it. Bill and I have been talking about doing it each and every year it comes on, but yet, we still do not enter in a video. We don't think we are that unique as siblings, and if we fight in the audition video, I am afraid

I saw this on a friend's blog and found it so very true...Why, Why, Why???Do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money?Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?Why do they use sterilized needles for

So I woke up this morning thinking that I really had nothing to do but go to the gym. And then an idea came to me that has been thrown around on the P1 web site about getting all of the listeners dogs together for a doggy play day. Well when I did the 3 day we would always walk past Dog Beach in Del Mar and I had always wanted to go there, so today Hunny and I did! It was a blast! Hunny was kind

I know it is a far fetched idea, but right now I wish I had one so I could just go 2 months ahead. Right now I am so swamped with work that it is driving me crazy. Since our big business are the Halloween light sticks we have been getting "Host" orders for Lowe's and Home Depot. Now these host orders are for quantities ranging from 96 to 576 light sticks for stores across the country! It's

So I am once again single! And actually this time it is nice. I am on a mission to find out what I want to do again in my life. I know that I will be staying at my current job for the fact that it is semi-easy (accept until Halloween is over) and the hours are great! I would love going back to the veterinary field, but I don't know if I have gone soft. I used to be able to handle anything that

Last night after seeing Dave and Alyssa, I drove home around 8:30m and I passed one of those clock / thermometer things on the 78 and it said that it was 86 degress at 8:45 last night!!!!! THAT'S how hot it was out here in Escondido!!!!

So after we left Ceasera we started heading up to the Northern Golan Heights and our next stop was lunch at this hole in the wall place where you only had 2 choices, felafel's which is like a deep fried chickpea paste that is rolled into little balls or a schnitzel (I know I probably spelt it like a German word) which is a fried chicken breaded chicken breast and both of these were served inside

Well after I just posted the previous blog, I realized that there were part missing *tear.What is missing is:When we were in Ceasera, we saw the influence of the Crusader period. As we walked deeper into the city we came upon a Mosque and the tower which they would call people to prayer.The stone work was incredible! To know that all of these stones were laid here by hand and let alone cut and

So after being back for a little over 2 weeks, I finally have some time to work on my blog about my life changing Israel trip! I have been thinking about how I want to go about putting it all down as to everything that happened along with pictures, so I think I will put it in "chunks". Sound good??? That way it is not too overwhelming. Before hand: So to get started, I have wanted to go on this

Good morning! So it was a beautiful weekend up in Yosemitie. There are absolutely no words to describe what it felt like to be up there. I saw a quote that said "There are no words to describe what is felt be the soul." And man-o-man is that the truth! It felt like I was in God's hands all weekend.

As I write this I am back at my parents house getting ready to head off to bed before all 3 of us head up to Yosemite for my brother's wedding! Hello....my little brother is getting married before I do. Yes, to be brutally honest it hurts and it sucks that he gets to go through this major part of his life before I do, but this is just how God is having things work out.Since the beginning of
