countdown 70 days!

well time has... well flown on by... and sad to say i have neglected this blogspot! i'm so sorry i don't even think anyone still checks... which is entirely my own fault... but i am going to try harder to keep the world posted of our 'happily ever after' over here!  xo did i mention 70 days till we are legally bound ;) 

ilove to ichat

what good is technology if we don't use it appropriately?  well... gabriel would never stand for that!  late nights when i wish we were cuddling...but we are miles n' miles apart... ichat closes in that distance for us.... gabe took a picture of us having a conversation over a video chat online... notice his roomie cooper 'hangin out with us' on gabe's bed....

registering

gabe and i registered on valentines day! it was such a fun day to be together planning our future! i can't believe how quickly time flys by... we will be married in 137 days! oh my goodness! i received my first wedding gift in the mail today! how exciting to have so many wonderful people helping you out to make a home! 

xo here's some pics of our everyday china and how happy we are ;)

my mother... my hero

my mother is by far the MOST amazing woman that I know!  her grace for others, love for the Lord and her family, and her passion for life is not matched by many people!  i have been blessed so much by having her in my life and to call her my own!  her tenacity to keep our family together and our relationship flourishing is more than a blessing to me!  anyone who meets my mother knows what i'm talking about... you can't leave her... not feeling... well...blessed! she is an inspiration to everyone... she is always giving... never thinking of her own needs!  she balances the lives and cares of her children and husband as if it were nothing... i just wanted to tell her that i love her and that i appreciate her "gift" of herself to me and to others!  my mom makes it look easy... but i know that sacrifice, patience, and sometimes pain is what it takes to be her.... so i wanted to thank her... and to tell her how much i love her!

check out one (i know she has 3) of her blogs! great practical advice for everyday!

this blog shouldn't be called 'marriage' vitamins... it should be 'daily' vitamins!!!

typical tuesday.... gabriel picks me up from school and i fall into the car exhausted from the day... off to dinner (either miki (sushi) or palm palace (lebanese)) then we do errands and off to turn on a movie.... that we NEVER watch.... but i love my tuesdays with gabriel...

wasting time....guilty pleasure

"Time is free, but it's priceless. You can't own it, but you can use it. You can't keep it, but you can spend it. Once you've lost it you can never get it back."

today i've wasted a lot of time.... doing nothing... i never get to do this... and i like it... i love that i had nothing to do... so i did nothing.... but somehow i feel guilty??? can someone explain this to me??

needing inspiration to hit the gym...

Believe you can do it. Think no other way but "Yes you can." The human body is capable of considerably more physical endurance than most of us realize."
