throw back

Since i still can't transfer my pictures from my camera because the laptops' USB hub is broken i have to result into posting old pictures on here, hence the "throw back" title. I really wish i would work but i'm sure it won't....ever. So all i can do now is wait for my sons' computer to be fixed and do it then or go over to moms' every time i need to load my pictures-which is a pain. 
But oh well what more can i do? I still want to keep on posting though. 
A little walk into memory lane is not bad at all......it'll keep me satisfied till our computer comes home. 

 This picture is quite old. Probably some time in 2005! My sisters' engagement. They've since broken up but it was still a wonderful and hectic day! 
Back when things were a little better between some of us. I'll never forget this day.......both the good and bad memories. It is so weird to see how things have turned out. How one little thing, one little mistake can actually change the course of a life time. It's sad to think about but life does go on. We look pass peoples' insecurities and selflessness and try to see the good in every situation. But when do we actually get to say "i give up" " i'm done"? Do we know how to forgive and forget? Do we actually forgive and forget? Can we? 
The answers lie within ourselves. But we must ask ourselves?..........How much can you forgive and forget? 
I've chosen to move on with my life. 
But the memories will hold dear to my heart.........because no matter what the issues are. 
FAMILY IS FAMILY

 

This is the family i was born into. I thank Heavenly Father for the parents he gave. Thank you for a wonderful loving and caring mother who sacrificed so much for her children. Thank you for a mother who never gave up for her children. Thank you for every moment i have to share with this woman!
Thank you for a father who tried hard to care for children that were not his own. Thank you for his determination to help a woman care for her children. Thank you for someone who cares enough to try his hardest, (even at times when he doesn't) tries his hardest to be a better person. Thank you for his happiness in being called "dad"! 
Thank you for sisters that fight and bicker but still some how we love each other. We may fight, argue and say we hate each other but deep down we still love each other. Thank you for all the moments we shared as sisters, friends and now as mothers. Thank you for the many nights of giggles and whispers talking about boys and ghost stories. Thank you for sisters who always try their hardest! Thank you for the fights and arguments because it has made us stronger people individually and has opened our eyes. Thank you for the tears of happiness and sadness that we've shared throughout the years. 

(i have to add a little thank you to a brother-in-law who is every bite the awesomeness that he is! Life would be strange and uneventful without him in it...who would i gossip with? Thank you for a brother-in-law who doesn't even deserve the in-law term.............He is my brother! He is family! He is more then just an in-law........he is our heart. We are thankful for him...for all the dramas he puts up with. Thank you for Randy, he takes every thing into consideration. He tries every new thing we push on him--be it trying new Lao food or our bitchiness at times. But we all know that he loves the drama!)

Of course thank you for such wonderful nieces and a nephew
. 
Jasmine: Thanks for all your wackiness and strangeness. We really do need an insane one in the family and no one does it better than you!
But we do love you. You are a wonderful girl. You care deeply about your friends and family. You are such a joy to have in our family. 

Randall: Thank you for being a sweet boy who is always so loving and playful. You may play way too hard and intense at times but hey we love you...because that's you. We love that you are so loving towards everyone and such a sweet and sensitive boy. Please stay that way.

Bella: We love how you can just walk out of any room naked and not have a care in the world. We love that you are just so sweet and playful. You are always entertaining us whether you are picking up dog poo and thinking it's chocolate or running around naked with no care...it blesses our hearts to have such a nice laugh. Doesn't hurt that you are gorgeous either! ; ) 

Last but certainly not lest....Thank you for this wonderful family you've bestowed upon me. Without these sweet faces i would be lost, uncertain of my life and future. They have shaped my future so wonderfully and masterfully. Thank you for all our adventures and happiness. Thank you for bringing such loving, caring and beautiful people into my life. 
Thank you for an eternity with them.

~~~AMEN!
