ughhh!!!

So my computer is currently ehemmm....BROKEN-Help me!!! I realized yesterday that I can not, let me repeat, I can not live without a freakin' computer! Seriously guys, I feel as though I've been robbed. I hate this. I feel naked almost. I know sad right?! You can judge all you want.
I'm on my sister's computer at the moment and I hate it! I don't want to download pictures on here. That's stupid. Also her laptop keyboard doesn't work well. Like certain letter keys you have to hit hard in order for it to pick up the letter (HATE), so I've got a keyboard plugged in so I can type on here and not have a problem. Can we say GHETTO!
So Robert is out of town for 2 weeks and the computer has been my escape for times such as these. It relaxes me. When Robert isn't home after putting girls down, I can get on the computer for as long as I want without having to worry we're not spending time together. I have 3 different blogs I want to write. This would be the most perfect time for me because they take me time and right now I CAN'T!!! I'm screaming...really!
I'm annoyed right now. I really am. So until my computer works, you will not see me on here. Sorry guys, I know you're so disappointed.

10 Day you Challenge-2 songs



There are so many songs, but these two have brought so much meaning to me in this year and through them God has spoken to me and has opened my eyes. I've shared them before because they mean so much-one about my children growing so fast and the other regarding marriage. Every song speaks differently to different people-and perhaps even during different phases in their lives. Please take just a few minutes to listen.

1. Steven Curtis Chapman's Cinderella

2. Sanctus Real-Lead Me

Happy Friday!

From my girls to you. Enjoy the extra long weekend. I know we will!

10 Day you Challenge-3 Films



3 Films? Are you kidding me?! It's hard to narrow it down. I wrote down the first 3 that came to mind first.

1. Wild Hearts Can't be Broken. This is such an old movie. But it's Fabulous. It's a true story about a young girl during the Great Depression who dives horses for a living and falls in love with a hottie. Tragedy hits, but she doesn't let it stop her from doing what she loves most. Watch it! It's good!

2. The Notebook-Oh wow! I haven't met anyone who has not loved this movie. This movie is wonderful! Such a great romance/love story. Their love is so strong and dang makes me hope I die with my loved one.

3. Just Friends-This one made me laugh so hard! From beginning to end. I loved it! And Ryan Reynolds-geesh, he makes the movie even better to watch.

10 Day you Challenge-4 Books



4 Books that I've read, haven't read or have enjoyed?! I chose 4 books I've read that I would love to pass along to you. There are actually several. I'm not an avid reader as I should and wish to be. I truly wish I had more time, but I haven't really made the time. I need to get back into it!

1. I really enjoyed this one when I was younger. Sooo good! I couldn't put it down! It's a great read and funny too. There's a movie too that followed it. I still own the copy.


2. All of the Anne of Green Gables book series. Of course! This was probably one of my favorites as well growing up. I mean for goodness sakes, I named my child after the Anne of Avonlea book and spell it the same. They're such wonderful classic books that I'll make sure I pass on to my daughters. I own the whole series and several of the movies too! I used to want to be Anne. :)


3. I'm in love with Karen Kingsbury and would like to own ALL.HER.BOOKS. Her writing is phenominal and her books really make you look at your life differently. She's a Christian writer and several of her books have become movies. Their that good (example-Like Dandelion Dust, Ever After, Even Now, A Thousand Tomorrows, etc...)! Her books honestly give you hope in life. If you haven't read her books, I would highly recommend it. This one was my very first Karen Kingsbury reads. A Time to Dance. A great great love story. This book made me look at me and Robert's marriage differently.

A Time To Dance (Timeless Love Series #1)

4. One that I would strongly recommend for all marriages and parents too:

This has helped Robert and I understand each other and what our needs are. This book helps you learn what your spouses love language is. It reveals how to express love to your spouse the way they want to see it. There are five: Quality Time, Words of Affirmation, Gifts, Acts of Service and Physical Touch. What speaks a lot to you may be meaningless to your spouse. This book gives you understanding towards each others needs. Read it if you haven't! When I say parents, it's because you need to know what love language your child is seeking too. I definitely want to give Arianna and Avonlea the love they need. I don't want them seeking it elsewhere.

10 Day you Challenge-5 Foods

This is definitely not a hard one, because my biggest weekness is food. I can eat the crap out of food! I try everything! Unless it's brain or some kind of weird animal body part or whatever. Maybe it's because my chef of a momma made me try and eat everything in front of my face.

1. Puerto Rican Food-I grew up on this. I can never get tired of my mommas cooking. She's good! I'm not even sure if there are any Puerto Rican restuarants in the middle TN area, so my mom's will always be considered the best. 
Arroz con gandules y pasteles-yellow rice with pigeon peas and wrapped green banana stuffed meat pastries

2. Mexican Food-Even though my mom is Puerto Rican, my dad is Mexican so my mom did Mexican food as well. So with that said, I grew up on this food as well. I had a good variety of food at my fingertips. 
Tacos al Pastor-Marinated pork tacos
3. Italian Food-Gosh I lurve me some pasta!!! I could eat pasta just about everyday. Anything with creamy garlic sauces...yummmm!!! 
Creamy garlic pasta
4. Chinese Food-Oh my gosh, the perfect chinese dish for me = Chicken Lo Mein with fried rice and a side of Wonton soup!!!

Chicken Lo Mein
5. American Food-Give me a cheeseburger any day of the week. Horrible yes, but who cares! I wouldn't mind dying with a cheeseburger in my mouth. Definitely a comfort food.

If you haven't tried Five Guys, they have some awesome
handmade burgers.
