Is it just me or does time seem to go by faster when we are older. Cant believe we are already at the end of January...gees...we just got into 2012! Nonetheless, i am excited for what this year has to bring. I've set some goals for myself and im ready for the challenge. There is no time like the present to decide to make a change in your life or to go ahead and take action towards bettering your future. So i set up some "new years resolutions" for this year. <br />
<br />
First...is to get any and all debt paid off by the end of the year, or atleast significantly minimized. Im not crazy in debt, so i really needed to make a financial plan to get things taken care of.<br />
<br />
Second...i need to get into a new vehicle. My old car is ready to retire and with the commuting i do on a regular basis i really need to get into something safer and more reliable for myself and my kids. <br />
<br />
Lastly...I want to purchase new couches and a bedroom set. Its just time.<br />
<br />
So here's to a New Year with new goals to achieve. =)<br />
<br />
I've also become a member of Pinterest &<b> i am in love</b>...<br />
There are so many different creative ideas and recipes, i could stay on that site for hours. <br />
The positive thing is its gotten me back to being motivated to put together new projects and i'll soon be revamping my blog to bring the focus back to what it was created for. I'm definitely looking forward to focusing a lil more on myself this year.<br />
<br />
Exciting things are also ahead with Imperial Hustle. The next issue of the magazine will be out in the next month or so and my husband has been hard at work with getting the issue ready. He has also started a new web radio show, for more information visit <a href="http://www.imperialhustle.com/">www.imperialhustle.com</a>. He's worked real hard and its definately been a journey. For those of you just catching up...Imperial Hustle is an urban promotion company thats focus is supporting independent Music, Art and Entertainment and Alternative Media. Check it out & show your support! <br />
<br />
Wishing everyone a productive year ahead and many blessings, XOXO<br />

Its crazy, i remember being a kid and how slow the days seemed to go by. Nowadays it seems like the time is flying by and I'm trying to keep up. But no matter how old, I've always loved this time of year. I love the way the trees change colors, the baked goodies, holiday scented candles, all the lights and decorations, and most and best of all...the family gatherings. As we get older it becomes more difficult to get together with our loved ones as we all have our jobs and schedules to keep, so i look forward to these times. Nothing brings me more balance then being with my family and those who know me best and feeling that love that i know will be there unconditionally.<br />

<br />
Cory just had his 31st bday on October 27th and to celebrate we took him out for a nice family dinner. Being that Cory and Justice's birthday are 6 days apart we decided to have a Halloween Costume Bday Party to celebrate Justice turning 3. It was lots of fun buying decorations and making creative finger foods for the party. The kids also carved pumpkins, Kaylen drew and carved a Phineas and Ferb Pumpkin and Justice (with mommys help) made a cute lil pumpkin face.<br />

Halloween ended up being a lil on the crazy side. I ended up being rushed to the emergency room because i ended up getting some extreme sharp pains in my left side quite suddenly that took me down. After blood tests, pee samples, ultrasounds and all the test were coming back inconclusive. Finally the doctors ran a cat scan and found that i had a kidney stone. The gave me some good meds to take away the pain and sent me home with some meds as well to help. I wasn't able to take the kids trick or treating but my girlfriend came to the rescue and picked up Kaylen from school and took him trick or treating with her kids and we kept Justice since he was already with us. It worked out well since our kids are really good friends and he had a good time to take his mind of being worried about me. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqeMal66ijKEvkwZkUtyRef3v-fQTQ8W1EJrItU17RSWLBS86TKHHdn7vd5JaIsBxW59ek_YKmA353AomznuqCSn3VN7os1gAzhupJmdVv75KlvfCA44nn5kR9PM0GeqnFPuKMYvcX4K_h/s1600/313000_10150909692795191_562230190_21556426_385200982_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjqeMal66ijKEvkwZkUtyRef3v-fQTQ8W1EJrItU17RSWLBS86TKHHdn7vd5JaIsBxW59ek_YKmA353AomznuqCSn3VN7os1gAzhupJmdVv75KlvfCA44nn5kR9PM0GeqnFPuKMYvcX4K_h/s400/313000_10150909692795191_562230190_21556426_385200982_n.jpg" width="300" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Kaylen is in the Black Morph Suit </div><br />
I was out of work for two days recovering hoping to pass the stone. I still am not to sure that it has passed and every now and again have mild discomfort in my side. Overall i am feeling much better than what i was. I went back to work on Justices bday - Wednesday, Nov. 2nd. When i got home we took it easy and had dinner and cake at the house and it was pretty much a normal weekday evening. <br />
<br />
Next on the agenda was Kaylens class field trip. I had requested the day off a month or two in advance to chaperone the trip as i've always wanted to be able to do that with Kaylen but could never seem to get the time off work. We went down to the USS Midway in San Diego and it really was both a fun and educational experience. We all met up at his school and took the bus to the train station where we road the coaster into downtown San Diego. I'd never been on the coaster before but it was really relaxing with some pretty ocean views. I was really happy to be able to participate in the trip. The kids learned some basics about the ship as well as how latitude, longitude and weather come into play when tracking hurricanes, as well as when out to sea in a big ship used for war. They got to see how planes were stored on the ship, learn different duties of the shipmates as well as go on the deck to practice weather tracking strategies. I enjoyed spending time with my son and his classmates. :)<br />

My sister came down with her family and we hung out at the Wild Animal Park together with our families. I love hangin with my Sister and having her husband and my adorable niece around. It was so fun walking around the Park and seeing the different animals. Justice was so excited about visiting the Zoo that he's already asking to go back. It was such a beautiful day out and the weather was perfect.<br />
Here are some pics from our trip: <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>After the Zoo my sis stayed over and we ordered Pizza while unwinding and watched Friends with Benefits. The movie was hilarious, and it was awesome waking up to my niece and her adorable face. Sunday we all got up and met with my sister Melyssa and her family as well as my Mom, Kevin and Lukas at Peltzer Farms. We walked through the corn maze, watched the Pig Races, and the kids enjoyed the animals at the petting zoo. To end the afternoon we had a late lunch/early dinner at Red Robin. <br />

Justice wears his big boy underwear during the day and a diaper at night to avoid late night accidents. He is facinated as of late with going #2 in his Elmo Potty and calls us over to check out his accomplishment (oh joy!) lol but it is really quite exciting. He is becoming quite the little man =] I cant believe he will be 3 in just 3 weeks.<br />

This is pretty cool because a couple summers ago he went with his Nana and Bumpa and Lukas to New Mexico on Vacation and has pics he can share with his class to go with his report. He is learning about their state Seal, and Flag as well as the State Flower amongst other things.<br />

I on the other hand have been trying to stay tuned into some projects and new recipes, but i tell ya being a working Mom is draining. But i love fall and decorating...and cooking warmer meals :) Here are some of the newer meals i've put together:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1) 7 bean soup. Cory had been asking me to make this because his Mom use to make it for him as a kid and he had a taste for it, so she sent me the instructions on how to put it together and with my own lil touches we had ourselves some pretty amazing soup.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

With the coming of Fall comes the trees changing colors and leaves falling, but now that i have a tree of my own in my backyard im realizing now just what a big PAIN IN THE BUTT these leaves can be. Tonight i had Kaylen help throw out a big trash bag full of leaves i had cleaned up from my back yard and front pathway.<br />

This is the time of year i usually break out the Hazelnut candles, move the furniture around to make it cozy, and turn on the Crockpot to make turkey legs. Mmmm. Well, I haven't done that just yet...lol. Instead i've been itching to jump into a few projects. So, i decided i wanted to try making a fall wreath. It was both fun & therapeutic, not mention very affordable =]<br />

They aren't completed yet, and i still have a lot of work to do, but it was relaxing to sit and tap into myself with these projects. As well as reminisce on one of the happiest days of my life, marrying the love of my life. Im truly blessed.<br />

Summer was fun, but im definitely over the heat. Cant wait till it starts to cool down and i can light up the fire place, use my crock pot for warmer meals, light my hazelnut and autumn scented candles and decorate.<br />
<br />
But first to kick off the end of Summer i have a few things lined up and i am definitely excited!<br />
<br />
First, the girls and I are hitting the road. Vegas, here we come! The countdown has been in effect for a while but effective Friday i will be sippin a cocktail poolside with my girls, shopping, strolling the strip, and hitting the club for some grown and sexy fun. A much needed extended weekend get away. <br />
<br />
Next up, i have tickets to go to Fresh Fest in LA. The line up consist of The Game, E-40, Mac 10, Twista, Young Buck, and other surprise guests. Definitely a great end to the Summer. <br />
<br />
I've also changed up my look for fall, i colored my hair...went darker. When i get back from Vegas i'll probably go get my hair cut and have my layers trimmed and touched up. Not too short though, i want to grow my hair out. Here's a pic:<br />
<br />

Though im sure Kaylen enjoys his Summer Break from school, im glad its over. Two and a half months off is a long time, lol. So...he's officially back in school for 5th grade and his last year of Elementary. I cant believe how quickly time goes by and how fast he has grown. This year I've made a promise to myself and him that I will try and be more involved and take part in the class field trips. I've never been able to because of work. It hard to get time off to engage in these kinds of things, but its important to me to have that experience with him. <br />

<br />
Justice is making progress with potty training...he's started to be more consistent with using the toilet on his own. He's very independent, has to do everything himself. He's talking a lot more these days and definitely has a mind of his own. <br />
<br />
Some recent fun updates:<br />
<br />
Cory's cousin China came out to visit from Detroit. It was nice to have her, she visited for a week and it was nice to finally meet her and hang out. <br />

I remember being a kid thinking that the days passed by so slowly, now that im older im really wishing i could savor the day more.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Summer is passing by quickly. Kaylen has made his rounds over his Summer break spending a couple weeks up in LA with his grandma and then another week with his Nana. School will be starting up in the next couple weeks for him, I really cant believe that i will have a 5th grader on my hands. I try and think about myself at that age, i can remember my school and friends and things we would do. It makes me sad that my son is growing up so quickly, but so proud of you person he is becoming every day. <br />
<br />
I haven't been able to do as much as i'd like to over the Summer with my boys...but we did:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Go to Legoland...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Explore the Strawberry Fields...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Go to the Movies and see Captain America...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Spend days at the pool...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Visit with Family...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Go to an Angels Baseball Game and Ludacris Concert...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;"> Visit the San Diego County Fair...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">After listing it all...it does seem like we've done a bit, but im not very satisfied, lol...i always feel like so much of the day is taken away being at work, i guess i kinda miss being home with my kids. Anyhow...n</span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">ext on the list would be a beach trip, we haven't been to the beach yet this summer. Maybe this weekend we'll plan to make that happen, build sandcastles and maybe i can work on my tan a bit ;)<br />
<br />
In Justice news he is just growing a rocket speed. He is talking soooo much and mimicks other people. He's top frazes as of late are "Wow", "Yea Buddy", "NOW!!!", "dont say that", "ima tell mom", and " Cool". I love watching him and i see so much of myself in him. He's a thinker, he watches people and then will try things for himself, he's meticulous about how things are done and how he likes things, he doesn't like being dirty and he can watch his favorite movies over and over, he's independent and likes to do things himself (the latest "i do it" is putting himself in his high chair or car seat and fastening his seat belt). He's growing up so fast but he is so amazingly smart. I really feel blessed to have two kids that are absolutely amazing.<br />
<br />
As for myself...Life is Hectic.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Work drains me and i find myself with little energy to create and be crafty. Im still trying to put together some scrapbooks and want to dedicate more time to it. I also have on my wish list the need for a new sewing machine. Mine broke and i've had so many ideas of things i want to do and just haven't been able to without my machine. But i'll be sharing my finished products as soon a i get some energy and time! Being a working mommy is hard! Kudos to my momma and all the other working Mommys with multiple kids...its a tough job balancing work, kids and time for yourself. But im determined ;)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">You only have one life to live and none of us are promised tomorrow. So we must embrace life, embrace ourselves and those we love most...</span><br />
<br />

He is working on his use of the potty and is doing well. He's been making it through the day staying dry with the exception of maybe one accident.

(downside: some days i wish he had a mute button :) lol)</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">3.

He likes dancing, turning on lights, ringing the doorbell, annoying his brother, yelling at cars to "come on maaaan, moooove" (sigh, lol yes my fault), and raiding the pantry for snacks at his leisure.</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">I've been horrible at keeping things on here up to speed and i haven't been up to anything crafty lately. Im terribly behind on scrapbooking. So my goal is to accomplish putting my wedding scrapbook and album together (yes i said Wedding...sigh). Work has filled up my days and by the time i get to relax its usually late. However the weekends are usually fun, and we definately make good use of them. The San Diego County Fair is open and the kids and i went a couple weeks back. Here's a couple pics from our last visit.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

I had spent two weeks planning a gift the boys to give their Dad. With all the hard work he's invested into his magazine and Imperial Hustle i decided to have shirts made for the family. The boys got shirts made with the company logo on the back and "RESPECT THE HUSTLE" printed on the front. Daddy was a happy camper. Here's a shot of the shirt.</span></div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />

<span style="font-size: small;">by Charlotte Hilton Andersen, </span></span><a href="http://www.redbookmag.com/" rel="nofollow"><span style="color: #19538f; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">REDBOOK</span></a><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />
Compassion, kindness, respect for diversity, politeness, honesty, an understanding of basic anatomical functions—all good things I've tried to instill in my children over the years and all things that have backfired horribly in public, much to my embarrassment. No matter how skilled we are as parents, the Public Child Outburst happens to all of us. It's the one time you rue the fact that your child is such a clear speaker.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="font-size: small;">Here are some of my worst. Please please please tell me I'm not alone in my humiliation by sharing some of yours with me!<br />
<br />
1. "People just give me stuff 'cause I'm so cute." A woman in a fabric store offered my 3-year-old son a piece of candy. When I prompted him to say thank you with, "What do you say to the nice lady?" this is what my eldest came up with.<br />
<br />
2. "Stop making ugly faces!" My 2-year-old to a disabled person at the gym. I was mortified.<br />
<br />
3. "That man's belly is so big! Is he having a baby?" My 5-year-old in the checkout line at the grocery store.<br />
<br />
4. "Mommy, don't choke me!!!" My two-year-old son screamed this at the top of his lungs when I leaned in to take away a box of candy he'd pulled off the shelf at the store. For the record, I have never, ever choked him or any of my children, nor threatened to. Of course that day I wanted to start...<br />
<br />
5. "I threw up this morning, but mommy said not to tell you." My 4-year-old to his preschool teacher. In my defense, it was because he gagged on piece of fruit he doesn't like and made himself retch. It wasn't real puke, I swear.<br />
<br />
6. "Look! When I touch it, it gets all hard!" My 4-year-old son in the middle of a crowded shoe store touching... well, yeah.<br />
<br />
7. "Hey Mister! Do you know you have no hairs on your head?" Pretty sure he knows he's bald, sweetie.<br />
<br />
8. "My mom did a photo shoot for a magazine for men!" This was my kindergartener's contribution to sharing time. Just to be clear: It was a head shot for an article I'd written for a men's <em>fitness </em>magazine.<br />
<br />
9. "I don't have any socks on today because my mom didn't do the laundry yet. My brother isn't wearing any underwear." My 8-year-old to his gym teacher. I have no defense. This one's true.<br />
<br />
10. "Mom! Mom! My stomach hurts so bad! I think I'm having a baby! I can feel it kicking my butt! I need to push it out!" My 4-year-old said this at the customer service counter at J.C. Penney's. I took him to the bathroom afterward where he had a very large number two.</span></span></h1></div></div></div></div></div>Aprilhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17417952093158738511noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8757533746305205633.post-70037525011144490232011-05-17T22:22:00.000-07:002011-05-17T22:31:43.031-07:00So much excitement...<div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: center;">Im a proud Auntie!!

Really thinking about where im at and what I RATHER be doing. Slowly but surely im finding my motivation and my way on track.</div><div style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This weekend i ventured with a friend of mine to Michaels to explore and let some of that creative energy flow. I love that store! <br />
<br />
That being said i made Justice a name banner for his room with his favorite Disney characters -<br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">We've officially gotten all moved into our new place and unpacked. Wasnt the easiest thing to do working full time but things are definitely falling into place all the way around. Cory and I both love coming home and Kaylen has even met some kids his age in the complex to run around and play with after school. This definitely let us know moving here was a good decision for not only us but our boys. </div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Another highlight as of recent is that my son Kaylen turned 10 years old! Was great to have all of the family and friends over for his birthday and be able to see him having a great time as we all celebrated a decade of his loving, funny and generous nature. I'm so in love with this kid.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I passed my Notary exam and i am OFFICIALLY a Notary. This will help me in my current line of work as well as provide an opportunity for me to gain extra income. I've also been moved into a different position at work, with the economy being slow they've transitioned me into the Support Team which means i travel around to different offices in the County to assist when people are out of vacation or when they are really busy. This was definately a blessing as it enabled me to keep my job verses winding up with the thousands of others out there unemployed.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">Feels like the year is moving by so fast already, cant believe we are almost in May and my lil niece Sophie will be here soon. So many exciting things going on this year....ready to embrace it all.</div><div style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;"><br />

-Virginia Satir </span><br />

We had tons of help and we're so appreciative of it because we couldn't have done it without our amazing friends and family. Both of our boys were happy to have their own rooms. We set up the toddler bed for Justice and he spend the first night in it all night without complaining. He fell of the bed once, but got back in and slept the rest of the night...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">2nd night looked like this...</span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />

if you cant tell...thats him UNDER the bed. Its a work in progress, haha...but Kaylen is happy to have privacy and some peace and quiet in his own space and Justice likes his new room too.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My husband and i are still unpacking, with full time jobs it makes it a little harder to get done but we hope to be all settled within a couple weeks. I'll post pics once we have everything in order, however we love our new place and its unique decor/design. Cant wait to make it feel more like home.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Lastly on the list of updates is news that I PASSED MY NOTARY EXAM!!! Im super excited. I've been so nervous for the past couple weeks about it, so its such a relief! Soon i'll be able to take care of some of the signings at work as well as after hours so i can bring in some extra income.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
Many blessing on the forefront for me and my family. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So thankful for it all!</span><br />

I took my notary exam this past Saturday which was another item to check off my list. It will be a beneficial tool for me at work as well as a good second income to help out when i need some extra cash for the month. I'll find out how i did in two weeks, i feel pretty good about it though...the countdown begins for the results. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My sisters wedding is fast approaching and her bridal shower is this weekend. I've taken on a lot this past month while working full time so i dont feel i've been the "best" Matron of Honor but i got some things up my sleeve. I've planned a day out for her bridal shower, she's pregnant so i thought to keep it relaxing and enjoyable. I really hope she likes it. I went out this past weekend to buy the items i will need to make her wedding towel cake. Cant wait to see how it comes out, pictures to follow when i get that accomplished, which will be in the next couple days. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lastly is my move. Its all been keeping me quite busy. Packing is definately something i have been procrastinating on. I HATE HATE HATE how messy my house is with the boxes all over the place, it will definately be a breath of fresh air to have all of our belongings in our new place, unpacked and settled. I do need to get it done though as i've been putting it off and only packing a box or two here and there. With all the extras i have going on i have only 9 days available to me to finish packing the rest of my home...LOL typical me. My mom and sister came out a couple weeks ago to help, which was sooo nice. Now to get on the ball. </span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Cant forget to mention <span style="color: red;"><em>Valentine's Day! </em></span><span style="color: black;">I </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;">came home from work to find my sexy husband in the kitchen cooking me dinner, another surprise came when i went upstairs to start packing things in our room to find a dozen long stemmed roses and a box of chocolates with the sweetest card. He definately made me feel very special. Dinner, Wine, Roses and Chocolate....he's amazing =) </span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once i get settled i hope to get back into some projects. Sewing, Crocheting, Scrapbooking, Photography and DEFINATELY some decorating!!</span> <br />

My sister is getting married and i am moving into a new place. Both events have drawn out the decorative/creative side that i dont get to embrace much. My brain is flowing with different ideas for throwing my sister a Bridal Shower and the cute decorative things i can do for her. Amongst the wedding is the excitement of my husband and i moving into a new place. The closer we get to the move in date the more excited i get because this place is not your typical boxy looking apartment/townhome. The owner was soooo creative with her design from painting the walls to the sinks she chose for the bathrooms. I cant wait to spice it up with all the different things i have in mind and see how it all comes together. 15 days till the wedding 16 days till move in....iy yi yi. LOL.</span><br />

This is what led me to create a blog, so i can capture and share what sparks my interest and maybe learn a little something along the way. I can be complicated, a little scattered from time to time, but amongst that comes a mind full of ideas and creative thoughts waiting to be expressed....here you will take a peak into my life, my heart....my destiny.</span><br />
