Reminders of Dreams

Have you ever had a thought about someone and then, cried? I have on many occasions. I've cried for my belated best friend Chely whom I dearly miss. I have cried because I've felt helpless at times. I cried when I returned home from my mission and the months after arriving also. But all of those tears are sad tears.

I was listening to a song this morning that reminded me of the boy in my dreams and I wept.

As a girl I dreamt of someday having a person who would love me with an unconditional love, the type of love that will make you tremble. As I teenager I dreamt of that same boy and the thought of him helping me go through storms of life I never expected to have so young.

The thought of him made me happy and made me have the desire to hold on to my beliefs which at times aren't always easy to live.

I will not tell you the millions of things why I think he is perfect for me, but what I will tell you is how I feel when I think of him and the things he makes me feel.

As I listen to the song I shed tears. The kind of tears that make you feel happy, the kind of tears that take you to the stars and let you sit on them while you think how lucky you are. I feel so grateful to have Michael in my life, for all that he does for me. He makes me feel good whenever I'm feeling the opposite. He fills my life with joy when I've lost track of it. I truly believe that he is the one Heavenly Father told me I would someday have. The promises of Him who created us are real, for I have Mike by my side!

I love you baby. You make me feel content.

All of these lines across my face tell you the story of who I am, So many stories of where I've been and how I got to where I am, But these stories don't mean anything when you've got no one to tell them to. It's true...I was made for you. I climbed across the mountain tops, swam all across the ocean blue. I crossed all the lines and I broke all the rules but baby I broke them all for you because even when I was flat broke you made me feel like a million bucks. You do. I was made for you. You see the smile that's on my mouth it's hiding the words that don't come out and all of my friends who think that I'm blessed they don't know my head is a mess. No, they don't know who I really am. And they don't know what I've been through like you do. And I was made for you...

Forgetful Meli...

Alright, I can't anymore. I don't know how to get Lance to obey. Yeah I know, he's only almost 3 but hey... at least I need patience or something of that sort. So, today, either he was a little too crazy or I was running empty on my patience, so I put him on "time out". He actually took it pretty good. And then I forgot to put the timer and went on with cleaning the kitchen. I thought, "wow Lance is doing pretty good on time out." Then I kept cleaning and cleaning and cleaning and more cleaning and TOTALLY forgot about Lance being on "time out". I checked and this is what I found:

Needless to say I felt horrible and so, I decided that it was time for the time out to be up....

KOBE, KOBE,KOBE!!!!!!

As most of you know, Mike absolutely LOVES basketball. I like it too, but please don't ask me the details of the game because I probably won't be able to answer. On Friday we went to the Lakers vs. Magic game in the STAPLES center. This was my first time there. Oh my goodness, it's huge!!!! We were wayyyy up high, so high that we could recline against the wall!!! Lance was a little afraid at first, but then we followed the crowd "Kobe, Kobe, kobe!!!!" or "MVP, MVP, MVP" the little boy was so excited to be there. Me, I really enjoyed the game. We brought our binoculars and looking around guess who I found.

Yup, Mr. Jack Nicholson. And then Mike told me that Denzel Washington was there but I couldn't find him. So I spent the rest of the time trying to find good ol' Denzel with no success!! While Mike was yelling "Go Lakers" I would answer back "Mike, where do you think Denzel is sitting?" It was a fun night. Hey don't judge me, the girl next to me was TEXTING the whole time she was there. At least I was focused on the game, well, not exactly, but more than my neighbor. I hate texting!!! But that's a whole different post!
The Lakers lost, but it was still fun.

GO LAKERS!!!!

Here I go...

For the longest time we didn't have internet connection at home, so my excuse for not writing more in my other blog, (the Spanish version of my thoughts) was always: "ohh, yeah I haven't done anything in it because we don't have internet connection-soon though." We finally got the internet connected (against the will of my sanity) and I ran out of excuses. My friends keep telling me to update it, and some other people tell me, "Your pictures are so pretty, I wish I knew Spanish." So, for those who don't speak Spanish and/or don't have any desire to learn the language, I decided to do this (again, almost against my will but merely because of peer pressure ;) )

I once told someone that I hated blogs, and I sort of still do . I mean don't get me wrong...I like them but I'm not creative at ALL and technologically savy. My sister in law sort of explained to me how to put different templates and this is what I heard "So Meli, you go to #$Hajdkslg dlaei and then you write gADGAag ad stlajd eotua pitajdlgaj sdjga fladjf adke0375 d;jgja d;g." I think she interpreted my silence and decided that she would do it for me. I loved it. So whoever is reading this and is creative I NEED your help. If you want to see me progress in this blogging world e-mail me with details (remember, this technology stuff is not my strong point!!) on how to make it pretty!!!
