living the life

welcome to Texas!

So, Ive been here for 7 days today. It still doesn't feel like home yet, but I love it. Soon things will start to settle in and I will feel more like home. So far, I've gotten a job [with Cingular of course, who else?], almost gotten a second job, and have almost gotten a new car. Yeah, Im selling the bocho. After all the work and everything that goes into it, sometimes I just wonder if its worth it or not. Im living the college life of sleeping in late and doing not much of anything else. I guess I should enjoy my days that I can sleep in, because in a few weeks, those will be no more! Im sure excited, though. Soon I will posting new pictures of everything so get ready! Hope everyone is doing well! Love to all.
me and SAM himself! =]

home sweet home

well, I made it. Huntsville, Texas is officially my new home. It still feels a bit weird being here. As if Im only here visiting again. I guess it will click in a few days or weeks or something. I kinda feel like a nomad...especially when people say, "you are moving again!?!?" yes, I am. Hopefully for the last time. I mean, who knows, I may get here, get settled, fall in love with this place even more than I already have [if thats possible], and settle down here. Maybe even my prince will come. =] Thats my high hope anyways.

So, I went for a job interview on Friday. I wasnt planning to get interviewed but I did and I was happy about that. It was at Cingular. The manager seemed to like me, and so I am going back for a second interview with the area manager. I think it will go well. Hopefully so at least. It will be weird working again. I was so used to it, but taking almost a year off and not working, makes things really weird.

Im kinda bored already. I mean, Im sure there is something I could do and if I look hard enough, I will find it. I guess I still just have the "newness" of this place on me and I dont really want to just sit still, but what will I do?

that's all for now...

p.s. I had a really good breakfast! =]

as promised...

well, i am a creature of habit and i wanted to post some pictures from my night...good family time. but these pictures take F.O.R.E.V.E.R. to load. seriously. dooood....i may die here! this thing is slower than pond water.

i wanna watch a movie...or something....but i think instead i will see if i can get my brother to do a little work on my car....hrmmm.. =]

or..... Blades of Glory anyone?

side note: i need to get my nails done....hrm....maybe soon...like before the 20th =]

=[

I havent taken a single picture since I've been home. weird. maybe I should do that today....

~some oldies but some goodies~

I love you, not only for what you are, but for what I am when I am with you. I love you, not only for what you have made of yourself, but for what you are making of me. I love you for the part of me that you bring out. I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart and passing over all the foolish, weak things that you can't help. Dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful belongings that no one else had looked quite far enough to find. I love you because you are helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavern but a temple; out of the works of my every day not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more than you creed could have done to make me good, and more than my fate could have done to make me happy you have done it without a touch, without a word, without a sign. You have done it by being yourself. Perhaps that is what being a friend means, after all. ~Roy Croft~

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together.. there is something you must always remember. you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. but the most important thing is, even if we're apart.. i'll always be with you.”-Winnie the Pooh

your friend
If I could catch a rainbow I would do it just for you and share with you its beauty On the days you're feeling blue. If I could build a mountain You could call your very own A place to find serenity A place to be alone If I could take your troubles I would toss them in the sea But all these things I'm finding are impossible for me. I cannot build a mountain Or catch a rainbow fair But let me be what I know bestA friend who's always there.

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and it's harder every time. You'll break hearts too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. You'll fight with your best friend. You'll blame a new love for things an old one did. You'll cry because time is passing too fast, and you'll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like you've never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness you

sweet home alabama

i realized a few things since yesterday...

--traveling back and forth in and out of the country, is NOT good on your body. period
--alabama gives me allergies. bad ones. ones that make me want to sqeeze my head in a blender
--i have really amazing friends who will meet me at the airport only for 45 minutes, just to take my suitcases and say hi
--feliz cinco de mayo
--i have amazing nephews who i love a LOT [they are just adorable and always make me smile]
--baby bunnies are really cute [well, at least once they grow out of the "they look like rats" phase]
--i love my new bocho
--i miss mexico already. sad actually, i didnt think i would miss it this much. i mean, i knew i would miss the people there, my fellow gringos, but not mexico in general.
--living in the boonies isnt cool. no cell phone service, dial-up internet...oh well, at least i have amazing COB's to keep my company!
--i want a MAC more than ever! seriously!
--i need a job...or i guess more like a few jobs...any ideas?
--butler does have mexicans, and they do celebrate cinco de mayo, and there is an ATLAS jersey in the mexican resteraunt in town. that has to mean something, right?
--what am i going to do here for the next 3 weeks? [well, technically, i guess i only have 14 days now til i will get busy] =]
--it makes me smile that in 14 days, i will be busy....MOVING TO HUNTSVILLE, TEXAS!
--im addicted to LOST, and well, te-vo in general.
--is that how you even spell te-vo? im sure its not
--i found my wedding song...but i cant tell you what it is! [come to my wedding and you can find out] =]
--my middle name is dawn...and no, that isnt a recent discovery of myself. thats just a secret that ppl havent known about...so, there--happy?

anyways, there are a few things that have been going through my head the last few days. ENJOY!

two days and counting down

time here has been winding down...i will miss guadalajara. i will miss everything here. i will miss seeing these faces day in and day out. i will miss a lot of things here.

sorry i keep jumping back and forth between blog sites. im trying to decide which page i like and since i dont really expect anyone to read these, does it really matter?

ive been thinking a lot about love. like, the word. how many times a day do we use the word LOVE? i thought of this the other day when i was with one of my mexican friends and i was listening to him talk about something passionately, and he never used that word. he used a lot of other descriptive words, but never that one. i just sat back and thought of how we say "man, i love that shirt" or "i love that color" or "i love you"....we just overuse it so much each and every day. stop and think next time, do you really LOVE that object you are speaking of, or is it just an over used word that you throw in there cuz it sounds good?

anyways, just a few thoughts of randomness of these few busy, emotinal, tiring last days in Guadalajara.
