Opps! Been awhile!

Okay, so I haven't written it what seems to be like, ages. I apologize. I'm sure you all forgive me. Anyways, nothing much new going on here. Still working in Salinas, living in Santa Cruz. I have barely gotten things done in my place. I've been heading to Coalinga every weekend to visit Ryan. Oh, and in case you didn't know, Ryan and I gave each other our Christmas gifts early. We put satellite radio in each others cars. It is great! I'm still enjoying this relationship and living life. I'm currently looking for a new job, as mine has never been permanent, and so they could possibly let me go this coming April. Wish me luck!

Well, I better get back to work. I'm also on myspace now, so if you want, you can check me out there as well. www.myspace.com/adxdaffodil all my blogs (except one) have been public, so you don't have to join to be able to read. The one you can't read, was a letter to Ryan....I'm sure you understand!

Miss you all much......J

Point to Ponder

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.
He said, "My son, the battle is between 2 wolves.
"One is Evil. It is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego.
The other is God. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith.
"The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf wins?"The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

I couldn't of said it better myself...

THE LAW IS THE LAW

So if the US government determines that it is against the law for the words "under God" to be on our money, then, so be it. And if government decides that the "Ten Commandments" are not to be used in or on a government installation, then, so be it. I say, "so be it," because I would like to be a law abiding US citizen. I say, "so be it," because I would like to think that smarter people than I are in positions to make good decisions. I would like to think that those people have the American public's best interests at heart. BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT ELSE I'D LIKE?Since we can't pray to God, can't Trust in God and cannot post His Commandments in Government buildings, I don't believe the Government and its employees should participate in the Easter and Christmas celebrations which honor the God that our government is eliminating from many facets of American life. I'd like my mail delivered on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter. After all, it's just another day. I'd like the "US Supreme Court to be in session on Christmas, Good Friday, Thanksgiving & Easter as well as Sundays." After all, it's just another day. I'd like the Senate and the House of Representatives to not have to worry about getting home for the "Christmas Break." After all it's just another day. I'm thinking that a lot of my taxpayer dollars could be saved, if all government offices & services would work on Christmas, Good Friday & Easter. It shouldn't cost any overtime since those would be just like any other day of the week to a government that is trying to be "politically correct." In fact....I think that our government should work on Sundays (initially set aside for worshipping God...) because, after all, our government says that it should be just another day....What do you all think????

If this idea gets to enough people, maybe our elected officials will stop giving in to the "minority opinions" and begin, once again, to represent the "majority" of ALL of the American people.

SO BE IT...........

I WAS APPROVED!!!!!!!!

Okay, so as most of you know, I was in the process of buying a house here in Santa Cruz, well, I was approved for the open at 2pm on Saturday, October 15, 2005. Pretty much almost EXACTLY a year from when my parents and I were approved to buy a place here. I am soooo excited! Ryan and I spent the night there last night, and did a few improvements that we wanted to do. It is going to be slow, as I have Grand Chapter (OES State Convention) from Tuesday evening through Saturday evening. Then, I go home Saturday, sleep at home Sat & Sun night, then go to work on Monday, then Monday evening I need to check into a hotel in Sacramento as I am going to training (at the last minute) up there for work from Tuesday-Thursday. I think I might end up taking Friday off from work, as I will not be getting out of there until 5pm and then FINALLY heading out of the area, so I might just go down to Coalinga. Anyways, it is going to be a long process. I will start posting photo's of all the work we do. Okay, off for the night. Need to get some sleep, if I can, I'm still so excited, and I'm sure you can understand why!

We (Ryan and I) went with some friends to Disneyland this last weekend. We had a blast! I also got to meet his oldest brother and sister-in-law. They were awesome and I had such a good time meeting them. Can't wait to hang out with them again. Such a good time! 

Our second day at the park with everyone.....we had a blast, but we were really tired! 

Me, trying to get some more sleep before we left....we did Build a Bear after Disneyland, Ryan built me a flamingo in an Air Force uniform.....his name is Colonel Flam.....what an awesome boyfriend I have! Love ya babe! 

Ryan got an aviator hat with mickey ears...he loves it, can't you tell?! What a cutie! Gotta love him! 

Ray, Cassie and Chelsey waiting to go on Splash Mountain.....no, Ray is not doing sign language, he is just being silly..... 

Ahhh, the love of my life.....he is so awesome! 

Aren't we cute? Damn, I love his smile! 

Ryan's favorite shot I took, all 6 Thunderbirds in formation, flying right over us. It is a great shot, and I'm glad I got it. Had a blast at the Air Show with the love of my life......he can't wait to join the Air Force, and hopefully become a pilot. Please keep him in your thoughts as he applies, it has been a dream, and I hope he gets it, but alas, we both know, that God will do with him, what he sees fit. 

Aren't they awesome?! 

Thunderbirds in action! 

My friend Amanda got married this weekend and Ryan and I drove up there. She was gorgeous in her dress, and her wedding was awesome! I hope to have one as nice as hers someday! 

A Riddle

Schwarzenegger has a big one.
Michael J. Fox has a small one.
Madonna doesn't have one.
The Pope has one but doesn't use his.
Clinton uses his all the time.
Mickey Mouse has an unusual one.
Liberace never used his on women.
Jerry Seinfeld is very, very proud of his.
Cher claims that she took on 3.
We never saw Lucy use Desi's.
What is it?

THERE IS STILL HOPE!!!

Okay, so yeah, I don't have a chance, and I know it, but it still fun to wish......Kenny Chesney and Renee Zellweger split! Yeah! My man is going to come and marry me! Alright, alright, yes, I'm in love with Ryan, and yes, I do hope to marry him one day, but a girl has to have dreams! LOL! Hope all is well with everyone out there in cyber world.

Me and the love of my life here in the park a few weekends ago! He helped work a dinner we put on. You can't help but love him! 

Ryan and I at the OES reception that I presided over. He is the sweetest thing ever! I love him dearly! 

Like the Rain (Clint Black/Hayden Nicholas)

I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
Every thunder cloud that came was one more I might not get through
On the darkest day there’s always light and now I see it too
But I never liked the rain until I walked through it with you
I hear it falling in the night and filling up my mind
All the heaven’s rivers come to light and I see it all unwind
I hear it talking through the trees and on the window pane
And when I hear it I just can’t believe I never liked the rain

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you I’m falling for you now
Just like the rain

When the cloud is rolling over thunder striking me
It’s as bright as lightening and I wonder why I couldn’t see
That it’s always good and when the flood is gone we still remain
Guess I’ve known all along I just belong here with you falling

Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Liked the rain always calling for you, I’m falling for you now
Just like the rain I have fallen for you
I’m falling for you know just like the rain

And when the night falls on our better days
And we’re looking to the sky
For the winds to take us high above the plains
I know that we’ll find better ways to look into the eye
Of the storms that will be calling
Forever we’ll be falling

Like the rain I have fallen for you, and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I’m falling for you now just
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I’m falling for you now just
Like the rain I have fallen for you and I know just why you
Like the rain always calling for you, I’m falling for you now just
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
Like the rain
