Time Flies

-
It certainly does. My niece, Jennalynn, graduated from the eigth grade last night. WITH straight A's again, I should add. Below is a picture of her graduating kindergarten. I was there for that too. It is just amazing at how quickly time flies by. There is 9 years worth of memories, lessons and growth in between those photos, for both of us! I couldn't be more proud of her. She has drive, the motivation and the strength to keep going and does it well. Congratulations, Sweetheart! Why she didn't want to sit on my lap last night, I'm not sure! Joking!


Here are her proud aunties. Alda, a very good friend of Jennifer's, my sister, Melyssa, Jennifer's sister Jocelyn, Jennalynn and myself.  "The ladies that have been by my side when I was pregnant with Jennalynn until now." - Jennifer. We'll always be there for you.
I had a dream that my Brittany just found out that she was pregnant. She's in Utah now with her husband. I texted her that I had that dream and asked if she had something to tell me. Inquiring minds want to know. Sometimes my dreams are spot on!
She wasn't but she said "I can't wait for you to be an auntie to my little ones. I love you, you know. You mean so much to me. I'm so blessed to have your sweet spirit in my life." She knows I'm a really good Auntie and was told I was great with kids last weekend when I met Baby Haylee for the first time at her first birthday party.  But for Brit to say that, it really is a reminder that no matter how far you are away from the ones you love most, you're still in their heart and are thought of. Let's hope that stays true forever and ever.

Unfortunately, I couldn't accompany my sister and her family to taking my nephew, Brent, to Legoland for his birthday. Next time, Baby.

I AM a good auntie. I will even keep them save on my motorcycle. 






 Happiness is being an auntie.

The Bad Girls Club & Love Games, Sarah Michaels, IS the Wellness Shot!

I became a fan of the Bad Girls Club when a Season 3 marathon was airing (in 2008, is it?) and I just had the television on while I was doing chores around the house. Every now and then I’d hear “*BEEP* you, you *BEEP*ing *BEEP*!”, some screaming and “This is the Amber Show” do-do-do-do-do-Doo! Eventually I was glued to the screen and not doing chores anymore and spent most of the day laughing and thinking “ohnoshedidn’t!” They were NUTS! I don’t think I could live my life with a camera following me around and for the whole world to see and criticize. But I kept on watching and when fights broke out, my boyfriend would hear the screaming from another room and ask “WHAT are you watching?!?” I am not one for reality television. MTV had it with The Real World with Pedro, Puck, Pam and whoever… when it was in San Francisco. (GO GIANTS!) With all these Big Brother, The Bachelorette and other shows popping up, there were just too many to pick and choose from to watch. And I was never a

My Most Engaging Post Yet

Christmas is just days away. A storm in the Bay Area has passed. Two holiday parties were a success. But these past 18 hours have been a whirlwind for sure. Yesterday evening, after dinner, in our home office discussing the home we are in process of purchasing, holding a gray box from The Shane Company , my boyfriend (wearing a black long sleeved shirt and his Adidas pants with white paint stains from painting the condo earlier this year, and I in jeans, my Toby Keith blue tank top from his Las Vegas “ I Love This Bar ” restaurant, my blue SFSU zipper up sweatshirt, and my brown childhood blanket draped over my lap) got down on one knee and asked me to marry him. “Yeah.” I hugged him tight and kissed him repeatedly. He was shaking and said “I can’t believe you said ‘yes.” I couldn’t stop smiling and crying and saying “I love you.” And I couldn’t help but laugh when I called him my fiancé for the first time. Wow, we’re really engaged! Since we were in the process of negotiati

It's Gonna Be May

I'm sure you've seen it. If you have a friend named May, the *Nsync memes are overtaking your Facebook and Instagram feed, right? Tomorrow ends the month of April and I was 10 posts behind the daily blog post challenge. For this Monday Motivation post, I will keep going until I reach that 30 count. Better late than never! May is turning out to be a busy month. Not surprising for this One Busy Bee. I finally have a set schedule for my part time job as a Concierge at the Argonaut Hotel at Fisherman's Wharf. I really do like the job, what I'm doing, the hotel and staff, and how the time spent here contributes to my experience in the travel and tourism industry, all the while continuing in the hospitality industry as well. Working only about 30 hours a week, it will finally allow me to schedule workouts, get in some sort of sleeping pattern and work on my business as a Travel Agent . There is so much to do! So far since I received the month's work schedule
