Just the sound of 4th of July, makes me smell BBQ 😉 This holiday is special in so many ways, as it always serves as a reminder that we must be grateful every single day to live in a country that is free to worship and server our Heavenly Father. We celebrated with BBQ and delicious dessert. Nothing like celebrating with family 🙂
As years go by, birthdays are becoming more and more treasured. I say that because as we all know, each birthday means, we have yet been granted another year, another glimpse of life of people and events around us! What a gift we are given, every single minute, day and year! It calls for nothing but celebration. God is Great and that is one message I try to hold on dearly! My day felt special from the very beginning as I had a pleasure of going on an early morning bike ride with my dear friend Alandrea and greet the world as it was still half asleep but with crisp air. We accomplished a hill that neither one of us looked forward to, but the feeling of accomplishment was amazing! While on my bike ride, I got one of the best calls with a birthday message from my dearest brother, what a treat! Later in the day, my sweet little family took me out to lunch to one of my favorite pizza places which was topped with an evening date with my honey. Little did I know my family was coming to surprise me with love, flowers and gifts. I am truly, spoiled and loved! Thank you very and very much to all that made my day unforgettable! Thank YOU Lord for granting me yet another year of life!
I welcomed my part time career of becoming a Real Estate agent. Granted I have had my license for over 6 years, I didn’t feel like it was the right time. So far it has been an adventure, but one that I like quite a bit. I pray that God will equip me with the right tools, to be a guide for those who are looking to buy or sell a place they call/will call home.
Our little family has always been in one place, so saying goodbye to my precious brother was a very difficult task to overcome. He has been planning on changing his career for a while now and we all knew that at one point he and Lilya will go on and establish elsewhere, but once it becomes reality, it hits you hard. All I want to leave here, is that I am beyond proud of my lil’ brother (even though he is older, I still refer to him as my lil’ brother) who has accomplished very much in his young life. God has guided him and equipped him with tremendous amount of patience and perseverance and it truly showed once it was time to go. I pray that God will make his new journey exciting, new and challenging, that he can always look back and appreciate how far He has taken him. Uncle “O” we all love you and are behind you 100% of the way. Hugs and kisses!
I am a huge fan of Easter and it’s strong meaning. I love sharing with my precious little ones what truly happened and why Christ died for us. There is still so much for them to grasp but Bella is definitely at a point where she understands to a certain degree. She knows to share Jesus with those that have not had a chance to know Him and cares that her friends accept Him in their hearts.
We had a lovely time spending Easter with both families this year, in Fresno and at home. Of course the long waited egg hunt took place and wonderful baskets were received full of goodies and surprises. It was a blessed time 🙂
