Some friends of ours threw a memorial day celebration party. We had so much fun at their house. This friend of ours had a boy who had one of those electric motorized Jeeps, which by the way Nicky has always wanted to drive. She kept asking for one of those Jeeps for Christmas so I told her that Santa might bring it when she turns 5. When she saw the Jeep she immediately wanted to ride it. There is a field next to our friends' house. Colby was very nice. He told Nicky they could drive it together. To get to that field they needed to go under an old fence. Jody (Colby's mom) , Starla (another one of our friends), and myself kept telling Nicky to be careful and made sure she kept her head down so she wouldn't get hurt. Colby tried to help her by pushing her head down, but with Nicky as stubborn as she is, she didn't do what we all kept telling her, and she hurt her face very bad. I was in shock when I saw her face going all the way back. I thought for a moment we were going to have to take her to the hospital. She was crying so bad. She really broke my heart when I saw all the scratches that the fence made on her face. Fortunately they were just scratches. After that Nicky was so scared of the Jeep that she didn't want Ian to get a ride. She thought he was going to get hurt, too.
We kept telling her that the Jeep was safe and Ian was having fun, that it was an unfortunate accident, and that next time she needed to be more careful and pay more attention to what we tell her to do.
On the way back home I was seeing her face through the mirror and it made me feel so sad, seeing her scratches and seeing her sadness. I thought if at least she would have listened. She is so stubborn, and she had to learn this lesson the hard way. I thought that Heavenly Father might think and feel the same everytime that we do something that we aren't supposed to. He loves us so much and he suffers everytime that we get scratches from not listening to what He asks us to do.
Then I felt so bad for being so stubborn and not obleying ALL that He asks us to do. After all He knows what is better for us.
Anyway I just wanted to remember this moment of reflection that I had. (they are very rare in me)

love it!
Glenn and I went to HEB a couple of weeks ago. We found these closet organizers/hangers that I just love.
I need to go and buy some more. It really makes the closet look cleaner and organized.
I'm starting to pack lots of thing that we are not going to be using for the next weeks. It really is a bother to move and to know that it's not our last move. Oh, well. I have always liked the adventure of moving to another place. The only thing that I hate is packing and unpacking of course. Well I need to keep packing since our journey has just begun...

An unfinished story...
Once upon a time there was a happy girl who meet a funny guy. They both would spend hours and hours taking about their personal dreams. Then they fell in love and had dreams about their life together. One day the funny guy took his happy girl to dinner, then he took her to watch a movie. To end the date in a perfect way they took a walk in a freezing, snowing/icing night over a bridge. The happy gorgeous girl had worn heels that day and the funny guy was using nice shoes so it was so hard for them to walk at the beginning of that icy/snowy bridge. The funny guy made a stop in the middle of the bridge and, looking in the happy gorgeous girl's eyes, the funny guy told her that though the bridge looked hard to cross he knew they could make it. The happy gorgeous girl looked confused. Then she thought, "HOW HARD COULD IT BE?" Then he proposed. The happy gorgeous girl was balling in tears of happiness and said, "YES" like 100 times. 9 months later they got married.
As newlyweds the happy girl was starting to see that funny guy was never home that he needed to work so hard to achieve his goals. She decided to support him. They also talked about having some little smiles at home. Happy girl tried to support him as much as she could and funny guy did all that he could to be the perfect match for happy girl. The next years were harder, but by adding 2 princesses and 1 prince to their lives, things looked much better. Funny guy worked so hard to achieve his goals and happy girl was now happy (worried) "gorgeous" mom.
Funny guy and Happy girl have made a stop at 1/4 of the way to the end of the slippery bridge.









May 9- Funny smarty happy guy is graduating with honors and next to him Happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" o yeah and forgot to add PROUD mom and their little heirs were with him. Funny smarty happy guy had two special guest his VERY PROUD PARENTS.
Funny smarty happy guy you rock! You have really made us proud you not just finished a hard carreer, but you were one of the best. Congrats! You really deserve it.
May 10- Happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom celebrated and was celebrated. Her funny smarty happy guy and their heirs were with her to spend the day.
The baby of the family is blessed and decided to give to happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" mom a happy huge smile just for her; one of the best gifts that happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom has received.
Prince decided to declare his love to happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom, which makes her feel the concrete of the bridge less slippery.
The first heir of the family, Princess bossy, had been working so hard and made a special gift to happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom on that special day, and she sure made it special. Since very early in the morning she was so good to her happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom.
Happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom felt guilty and felt that she didn't deserve anything. Then funny guy gave her his present. She loved each one of them. But seeing that the heirs card was describing her so well she broke down in tears by knowing that she might not have had honors as a Mom, but she was doing fine and needed to keep working harder.
Happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud mom feels better and received more presents from other loved ones.
At the end of the day happy (not so worried) "gorgeous" proud girl/wife/mom just knows that the path indeed is hard to go through, but during the way gives thanks to the love that Heavenly Father feels for her. The path will have happiness and joy, is still very dangerous, but trusting in the right person and by having faith, Funny guy and Happy girl will be able to go through it just like they did the first time.
to be continued.....
Happy mothers day to all of you, especially of course to the girls who likes to be happy and are proud of their funny guys!
