I got one! I got one!

and then we took pictures of all the cousins ... Sara Joy, Kuya Jayden, me and Kuya Lucas ... I think it took the longest for me to smile because everyone kept calling my name. in all the hulabaloo, i think i pulled apple's ear. i didn't mean it, i promise...


then we went back to my nana's to pick up my pink car. we went to visit my nino next door and they had a doggy at the house! i got so excited i took my first three steps trying to catch him! it was so exciting! i'm trying to convince mommy and daddy to get me one so i can chase it but i don't think they'll take that excuse! anyway, i'll see you later!

my lonely neighborhood

i felt so bad yesterday. the economy hit next door. actually next next door. next door too i guess because that house never sold at all. they even took the light fixtures down last month. anyway, when i was leaving my house yesterday there was a uhaul truck in front of their house and they were moving out. i saw the lady in the passenger of the uhaul and she just looked sad. my heart tore in two. i guess the house has been on the market since january and hasnt sold yet. i was saddened. i hope it gets better for everyone.

they even ash the babies

we didn't know if there was an age limit on ashes, but they ashed Kaylee Jo. it was only a little dot but she still got one. she didn't mind it at all. we sent the picture to her nino and the response we got was "her hair looks like alfalfa."
but her hair us getting so long and in her face!

Here I Am

so times have been tough lately ... the economy sucks and unfortunately we've felt part of the crunch. but we go along day by day. and then we get sad. but God really knows how to keep a girl's spirits up... so yesterday at Mass I think He was really trying to talk to me and tell me everything will be ok. tbe whole homily was about "He Ain't Heavy ... he's my brother," you know, carrying people along their way. and then we said a prayer after the procession of faith, praying for the world and its state, not to despair. and my heart started to feel heavy. and then of course the song before communion is Here I Am, Lord - my favorite song from St. Johns - always has and always will be. and of course I started to tear. and then came the song during Communion - my favorite song from Liwanag - Refiner's Fire. There were the words right there - "my heart's one desire, is to be holy, set apart for you, Lord, I chose to be holy, set apart for you, my Master, ready to do your will." ok Lord. so here I am, ready to do your will.
