Never got to sleep on the plane because I was scared don't know why of course it wasn't my first time yeah I was really nervous. Anyway, my family was very happy to see me they didn't recognize at the aiport if I wasn't waving my hands they thought I wasn't on that plane, they've thought that I missed my plane. I did a lot of things of course like eating the food that I used to eat when I was there that I can't find from asian store here in junction.Went swimming on the river it didn't turned out good though I got skin allergies, yeah who knows...I got to met my brother in-law and my niece, nephew and my baby sis shes big now she is gonna be a brat since knowing shes the youngest she think she can get watever she wants...A lot story to tell but not enought time..til then Amiga and Amigo..hehe..oh yeah don't have pics to share coz i accidentally deleted from my phone I was trying to transfer it to my computer so makes it easier for me to upload. So I guess am gonna have to go back there and take photos and by that time I will make sure I will not forget my camera because I totally forgot my camera on that trip...

Idol

Thanks to Darwin Barton

In the nurses’ station at work, we all make small talk and chat in between patients. You know, just the usual stuff: how’s your kids? What are you doing this weekend? Lately, though, the conversations seem to revolve all around American Idol. These nurses have some serious opinions about who is good, who stinks, who deserves to go, and who they are voting for. I’m surprised at how invested they all seem. They told me they literally spend 30 minutes after the show is over trying to vote for who they liked. I’ve never watched the show, and I told them it is not my thing at all, but they freaked out telling me I had to give it a try. They even send me emails with links like www.giveadish.com, telling me to get tv so I can watch the show. They are really not giving up. One friend invited me over to watch it tomorrow night at her place, and I told her I would go. We shall see what this whole “Idol” thing is all about.

My trip to Philippines...

Oh I am very excited about my trip that is in couple weeks. My family is very excited as well. I have a lot of things that I wanna do when I get there. I really miss my family and also the food specially the seafoods. But I am sad at the same time because my hubby can't go with me due to the fact that we don't have enough budget for both of us. We are gonna try next time we go he is able to come of course my family wants to him too. I am also glad that I got approved from work on my 3 weeks vacation. I hope it is going to be a fun visit..

The college essays are just one part

Guest post written by Kathy Williams

One of the things that I decided for my kids a long time ago was that I would be sure that they had the opportunity to go to college. I wasn't able to and I've always wanted that for them. Now that our oldest is getting ready to go to college, it's kind of a turbulent time for me. It's so crazy to think that I'm getting ready to send him off to college!

We've been looking up scholarships for him to apply to and I think that he's a great candidate for a lot of them. While he's looking that up, I've been looking up info on debt settlement. Our family is in debt and I'd like to finally settle it so that we can concentrateon more pleasant things, like our college-educated son.

He's worried about all of these college admissions essays that he's been working on. I understand it because I guess those essays are the things that can be the deciding factor on whether or not you'll get into the school. I'v ebeen looking up all times of tips for him for that.

A place where the moose are...

My best friend moved to a different city recently. I missed her a lot specially her kids, I used to go at her house on my days off sometimes spend nights at her house when my husband was working but can’t do it no more. One of this days I will able to go there and drive myself or may be I will hook up with my other friends and we can visit her and maybe spend couple nights at her house, yeah sounds like a plan. She mentioned to me that there is a hot spring in their city I am looking forward to there probably in the summer. It takes five hours to drive so I think summer would be the best time to go. Anyway, one of my friends here in town is looking for a place to live am not sure if she is looking for a house or an apartment for now since she is processing her divorce right now to her husband soon to be ex-husband. I think it is hard to find a place to live these day because of the economy, I only moved once from my country to united states. But it wouldn’t hurt if I do a little research on how to find an apartment you never know what’s going to happen, you know. I’m glad nowadays we can find everything online well pretty much everything like houses, jobs, shopping, and oh yeah a man hehe.

Anyhow for those people here in the valley that wanting to move to a different state, city or country like Canada where the moose are, just kidding. Well, in Alberta there are moose I seen it on television on hunting show they are hunting moose.

It's time of the year...

well, it is tax time in which everyone is waiting for so are we. Yesterday, we went to montrose for our tax because my hubby doesn't know how to do our taxes and so am I, am not used to it and I wont even try to do it eventhough I heard people saying that it is easy  because it has instruction but sounds hard still for me so I won't even try. So yeah we did it yesterday we didn't get much like we got last year but it is better than nothing you know, and also we paid 70 bucks good thing though because their price didn't went up. I wish someday we will able to do it by ourself so we won't have to pay someone to do it for us, otherwise right now my husband is willing to pay so I don't wanna disagree with him coz i don't want trouble you know what I mean..hehehe..

Adding my personal touch to our new, remodeled bedroom

Guest post written by April Curtis

When we decided to take on the project of remodeling our bedroom, I was a little worried. I was afraid that it was going to have my husband's face all over it rather than incorporating both of our tastes. Now that it's time to start decorating, I'm working on making sure that it has all of the stuff that I need, including a nice little vanity and dressing area.

It helps that we knocked down the wall separating ours and one of the other bedrooms, which has given us plenty of space for a walk-in closet. When I was looking online to get some inspiration about that, I ran across some info on Sears home services. We noticed that our windows were looking a little shabby during the remodel, so I made the executive decision to get them replaced through Sears.

I found the perefect little vanity to install in our bedroom. It's going in a corner of the room, nearby the walk-in closet. But also out of the way so I can do my hair and makeup in peace without running into my husband in our closet.
