Live my life!

Target

2012-11-20T11:29:00.001-06:00

I am thankful for Target. Really, what can you not get at Target? I go to Target so much, they should know me by name. LOL! I can get everything for my kid there (clothes, food, diapers, toys, etc.), the clothes/shoes are cute, the pharmacy is convenient, the food section is bomb, the up & up and market pantry brand is very comparable to name brands, and all the clearance end caps are irresistible. Thank you Target for making my life easy with one stop shop and for my 5% discount just for having your Target Red card. Now all I need you to add is a gas station and a bank!

My families

2012-11-20T11:28:00.001-06:00

I am thankful that I have two families. They all love me, my husband, and my kids. I know that they would give me the shirt off their back and for that, I am grateful! :)

Living in America

2012-11-20T11:27:00.004-06:00

I am thankful to be living in America... I know for a fact that I would not have survived in Thailand/Laos...

My single life

2012-11-20T11:27:00.002-06:00

I am grateful for my single life because without it, I don't think I would be a good wife or a good mother. I enjoyed my single life but I don't miss it one bit cause I did all that I needed to. I don't ever feel like I wish I was still single so I can do this or that. Once I became a mother and a wife, I was READY for that stage in my life! :)

When we were single and carefree... Many many moons ago!

Rice and pepper

2012-11-20T11:26:00.004-06:00

For real, I am grateful for rice and pepper. Two things I can't live without cus I almost always eat rice with everything and I need pepper with almost every meal.

My friend Chrys

2012-11-20T11:26:00.001-06:00

I am grateful for my friend Chrys. She moved away a few years ago to NYC so we don't get to see each other much. With our busy lives, we don't get to talk much but when do get to talk, we pick up right where we left off as if no time has pass. I miss her and its been a little over a year since I seen her so hoping that we'll get to see each other soon. She was my first friend when I moved to Madison and the rest is history!

My husband's job

2012-11-20T11:25:00.002-06:00

I am thankful for my husband's job. Although we had to cut back on alot of things, we are able to live comfortably on just one income. Of course I miss the shoe/handbag/clothes allowance but I'm grateful for all that I have. God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good!

Amazing grace

2012-11-20T11:23:00.002-06:00

I am grateful for this song... It has gotten me through the darkest times in my life... No matter when I sing or hear this song, I still get all choked up.

I also love this version too...

My sister Linda

2012-11-20T11:22:00.005-06:00

My sister Linda is best friend. She's so good to me and my husband. She does so much for us and never once ask for it in return. She is quick to forgive... something I love about her! :)

Beck when we were young and fun! LOL!

My SIL Kathy

2012-11-20T11:22:00.002-06:00

I am thankful for my SIL Kathy. She has such a great heart, never quick to speak or judge. She also has a love for God that is ever growing! She's been so good to me, even before my I married my husband! :) I am grateful for her!

Kathy @kaymuas and I (4 months preggo) at my birthday party a few years ago.

My MIL

2012-11-20T11:21:00.000-06:00

I am thankful for my MIL. She's loves me like I am her own daughter. She has such a giving heart and she believes in the power of prayer. I am thankful for my mother in law.

Sorry

2012-11-20T11:07:00.000-06:00

Sorry, been blogging on my Xanga with my daily thankfulness and kept forgetting to update over here... Will do some copying and pasting in a little! :)

My mother

2012-11-09T22:03:00.001-06:00

I am thankful for my mother! We have our ups and downs but without her, I would not be here today. She gave me life (literally) and for that I will forever be grateful to her. In debt, if you will. Once I had my kids, I now know what it is that a mother feels and the unconditional love that she gives her kids. My mother has such a kind and giving heart. Her love is unconditional... :)

My beautiful mother and handsome father at my wedding :)

My SIL Kaying

2012-11-08T11:04:00.001-06:00

I am grateful for my SIL Kaying. She has been there for me through some tough times but also some great times. She's like an older sister I never had. She is so understanding and can relate to me so well. She can talk forever, literally. My husband hates it when we're on the phone together. Haha! She's a great cook, mother, and friend. I so glad to have her in my life.

Here is a picture of us with our husbands who are brothers. :)

My president and the first lady

2012-11-07T11:10:00.000-06:00

I am thankful for a president who stands up for what he believes! 4 more years!

I adore a man who adores his lady! :)

My father

2012-11-06T10:50:00.001-06:00

I am thankful for my dad. He is a man of patience, very few words, and a big heart. When my dad gives, he gives freely, with no strings attached and expects nothing in return. I know no one more honest than my father. If you give him fifty cents to hold for you, you could ask for it back in ten or twenty years and he will still have your fifty cents for you. He is a fair person, never taking sides and always seeing the good in others. My dad grew up as an orphan, his mother passed away when he was just months and his father passed away when he was two. Yet, he lives his life without being bitter or angry and without blaming anyone for his sufferings. He holds no grudges for the ones who has mistreated him and he provides for his family with no selfishness. The last couple of years, he's had a couple of health scares and has been practicing a healthier lifestyle. I am so proud of him. I am thankful for my father!

My freedom

2012-11-05T09:00:00.000-06:00

I am thankful to be living in a country where I am free to do and say what I want when I want.

With that said, go VOTE!

my car

2012-11-04T22:38:00.001-06:00

I am thankful for my car. I know that sounds so vain but I really am. Not only do I really really love my car but its been great to us. It fits our family perfectly and I feel super safe in it, especially with our crazy midwest winter weather. I hope this car last us a long time, hoping to not have to get a new car for a while... :)

My sons

2012-11-03T21:05:00.001-05:00

My sons, Ryder and Roman, the apples of my eye! Without these two guys, I really would not know how to function. My world literally and figuratively revolves around them. Every decision I make, whether it be big or small, I think of them first and if it will be in their best interest. The miraculous moment that they entered into my life, my world has changed upside down but in a great way. I love being a stay at home mom to them, don't get me wrong, its a demanding job but its the most rewarding job ever. I am thankful for my sons, Ryder and Roman! :)

Xai Cheng

2012-11-02T10:16:00.003-05:00

I am thankful for my husband... :) He is the best man for me. Without his love, guidance, and support, I truly do not know where I would be. 10 years ago, he saved me from myself! For that, I will forever be grateful to this man. He has the biggest heart, slow to speak and judge, and quick to love! His unconditional love is undying and just grows with time. He's a man of few words, he's a man who is not romantic but the everyday things he does I would never trade it for all the money or fame in the world. The security he gives me everyday, the space he allows for me to grow, and the joy he brings to my life is unmeasurable. He is an amazing father, one that I want my sons to role model after. His love he gives to our sons is undeniably from the bottom of his heart. He is my driving force and truly makes me a better woman, not just for him or our kids but for myself! I love my husband and truly am thankful for him. He is the BEST man for me. :)

When we were young and fun! LOL :p

30 days of thankfulness!

2012-11-01T17:17:00.001-05:00

In the spirit of Thanksgiving, I am going to try and blog each day for something/someone I am thankful for. In no particular order!

GOD

I am thankful for God. It has been a tough couple of years but God has been amazing to me! Through all the trials and tribulations I been through, God has still provided for me and seen me through to the end. He has given me everything I could possibly need, not want but NEED! He has pulled me through some dark times and has blessed me with some life changing times! Some of the moments that he seen me through, I can truly say they are miracles. I know that I can't be thankful for anything else or anyone else until I am thankful for his love and grace. I look forward to what he has in store for me!

Testing...

2012-10-31T11:11:00.001-05:00

Don't you hate it when someone puts you in a tight spot just to test you... All I have to say is, what goes around comes around. I don't hold grudges but please know that karma is a bitch! 10 folds kind sir! :p

Big boys!

2012-10-25T10:25:00.001-05:00

My big boys!

Get the...

2012-10-02T09:29:00.001-05:00

You don't invite them and they throw the biggest flippin' cow like its the end of the world. You invite them and they make a big deal like you just ruined their life cause they have something better to do! All I gotta say is, 'GET THE EFF OUTTA HERE!'

New motto! Hate it? 'Get the eff outta here!' Love it? You don't have to 'Get the eff outta here... YET!'

Peace!

Brothers

2012-09-26T09:31:00.001-05:00

They love eachother! :) My hope is that they grow up together not only as brothers but best friends!
