Hypochondriac???

So, since I was a little girl, I was always worried about my health! The tiniest things cause me to over react about my health or those that I love. For some reason at times...a few symptoms turn out to be the worst disease in the world to me..lol. I live a happy life, I love my family and friends so I dont think it affects me in any way personal. I decided to take a test online to see how much of a hypochondriac I am...and well, when I was taking the test alot of the things that it was asking me, hit right on the dot! Check it out

Weight Loss

My husband and I were talking about going on a trip here with in a few months. However, I am all for it, but I want to loose weight. I am very uncomfortable in my skin, when before I never was! So as you can see on the right hand side, I made a weight loss tracker! I can share my progress hehe...
WISH ME LUCK!

Extreme Home Makeover!

As you all know, we closed on our house on March 7th. Thank God and our awesome Realtor Sonia, it was a smooth closing day! However, once we closed we could not move in, reason being....Well THIS
So we got to work that same weekend, and thanks to the wonderful painting skills of my old man Jose (my daddy) and my wonderful husband Lupe and our supply guy Adam, we got most of the house done in that weekend! The final results....

Wooden Picture Box

This weekend, my good friend Wendy and I decided to meet up on Sunday morning at Ihop to eat breakfast together. We have been planning it for a long while now, but our schedules are really crazy right now.
We never were able to exchange Christmas gifts, and for the longest time, since I was a little girl I have always wanted a box…that you can store pictures in, and on the top of it….something that had a picture frame! Ok…so I know it sounds weird but this box had to be wooden!! Well my wonderful friend made me the perfect one! Check it out! THANK YOU WENDY LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

New House!!

Ok guys, I know it has been a while since I have blogged (Sorry Courtney) but I have had a lot on my plate lately. I haven’t even had a chance to sit down and read Harry Potter!! We moved to “The Cave” about a month and half ago, we call it “The Cave” because its so small, but very comfortable and it’s a 2 bedroom apartment and we have a month to month lease and its only $490.00!! You can beat that people!!!

During this time we have been house hunting. Thank God for our realtor who is very patient and so helpful! I don’t know what I would do with out her! We have been with her for 8 months now, and FINALLY we found the one! The house that we have always wanted! LOL.

We have placed our offer and the owner has already signed on it, now we are waiting for the final approval! Keep your fingers crossed people.

I will keep you informed, I have pasted some pictures of the house. Check it out

I LOVE THEM

Child Spirit

SORRY GUYS I HAVENT WRITTEN!! Shame on me huh!! Anywhoo, I will definitely have pictures from this weekend up soon. We had a great weekend surrounded by family and friends. There was just one thing that got to me this weekend, it bothered me a bit, just the thought.

As you know, my husband and I are really into the paranormal. So that night we were at my sister in laws house. My sister in Law has a little 3 yrs old in the house who talks like she was 15 yrs old. VERY SMART!!
So my sister in law mentioned to me about a month ago that her daughter Lani, has a “friend” names Ashla. Who Lani claims comes over to play with her and talk to her. My sister in law at times tells me that Lani will eat only half of her food because she is saving the rest of Ashla. There was an occasion where my niece Lani said that Ashla was sick in the hospital. Claiming this Ashla child got sick while playing with her Grandma. WEIRD!!!
So ...here is what freaked me out….I was in my sister in laws room on my way to the bathroom…when I didn’t know my niece was in the potty…I walk up to the door…and I could hear her talking to Ashla…Now I did NOT hear Ashla…but I could hear Lani asking her questions, it was so weird because my little niece was having a full conversation!

I wonder what she looks like, I wonder if she is a child spirit…what happened to her? Does anyone know where I can find history on the land???

*My sister in law has told me about it, so please keep in mind...I may not be getting some facts right LOL*

Christmas with my Grandpa

I love Christmas time. It is by far my favorite time of the year. However, I just can’t stop thinking of my Grandpa. I guess I get emotional because I don't have family here..well He passed away 6 years ago, and it still feels fresh in my heart. I miss him with every bit of me. I know I will always hurt over this, but I think what does and always will bother me is the fact that I never said goodbye to him. He lived in Mexico, and well my family never really had a lot of money to travel over there very often during the year, so my dad would save up for us to go on Christmas.

I remember when we would go there on Christmas, he was ready to celebrate! He would make sure we had a Christmas tree; there were beautiful gifts under the tree for us. After the whole unwrapping the gifts part, he turn up the music and start dancing with my Grandma!! It was so fun!! I remember he would tell us stories all the time, and he did the best special effects. I remember waking up in the morning to the smell of fresh brewed coffee and tobacco.

Christmas was the best with my Grandpa!!! So when Christmas comes, and he is not around, it bothers me! Even though there were times that we would not go to Mexico, I would always call him and tell him Merry Christmas, he would always tell me he loved me very much, and he would never hang up first. He would wait until I hung up.

I miss him. If anyone was to ever ask me what I want for Christmas, I want just one last hug from him and the opportunity to tell him that I love him and that I am so grateful to God that he gave me the chance to know him even if it wasn’t for a long time. He has left a very large empty spot in my heart that will never be filled.

Scrapbooking

You know, I have been thinking for a while now, I want to start scrapbooking. My only problem is I don’t know where to start, how to go about starting it. I love taking pictures, of family and friends. Everywhere I go I carry my camera with me, I keep all my pictures in an album…but it is just not the same as to scrapbook them. *sigh* I wish I could do it!! I just don’t know

Talent- Everyones got it :)

Talent….everyone has one, it’s either very noticeable or hidden. I have a wonderful friend named Wendy. She has the awesome talent of making cakes. I can barely make cookies people….and she makes beautiful cakes. For my sisters birthday, I needed something that represented my sister, she is into butterflies so I wanted to surprise her with a cake full of butterflies. So this is what my wonderful friend did for me!!! BEAUTIFUL HUH!!

Places I want to visit

So, last night my husband and I were discussing how nice it would be if him and I decided to go on a trip. Of course after we purchase a home. There are several places that we have been wanting to visit. He- for example wants to go to Louisville, KY. I have been to KY. But the reason behind him wanting to go is because the famous Waverly Hills Sanitarium is there. This is considered the most haunted place in the Nation…Would I go…YES!! Would I stay the night there NO!! I would love to do some hunting there. Especially being that we have seen several episodes and actual footage of a ball being pushed and kicked by a child spirit. Would love to experience that!!

Me on the other hand…I would love to go somewhere cold, snowy, romantic. COLORADO is what I am thinking!! I have heard wonders of this place and yet I have never really planned on going. My question is, how would I starts saving for this. We have never traveled out of state since we have been together. He never has, I have been to KY, CA, NY, FL, LA.

We have also wanted to check out Roswell!!! I have actually heard that people are a bit weird there!! Maybe I can see a UFO!!! TEE HEE We will see…

Ghosts- Fact or Fiction??

The Paranormal…Ghosts....I know there are a lot of skeptics out there concerning this particular subject. A lot of times what is unknown is often mistaken as “I don’t believe in it”. I am truly a believer, I believe we are surrounded by spirits that are trapped here on this earth, spirits that have unfinished business, for example those that were murdered or suicide. I believe that there are paranormal activities that happen (even to skeptics) that are completely unexplainable, so how did it happen??

First and foremost, my husband and I have been involved with a Paranormal group called Haunted Houston, we enjoy looking for stuff like this. Now, we don’t do nothing crazy or demonic we just go into houses or public places that have been rumored to be “haunted”. We take pictures, we do EVP work, we video tape. Unfortunately, we don’t always get what we want on video , recorder or pictures, but yet the personal experiences are there.
I do have to warn people who are interested in doing what we do, that it is very addicting but also at the same time you must be careful!! Believe it or not, some people tend to be more sensitive to this activity than others. You must be strong minded and strong spirited!

Now my husband and I used to live in a town home off of Bay Area Blvd and Space Center. That was around the time when we were getting really deep into the Ghost Hunting. A lot of the time when I was there, I would feel like someone was watching me. I would see someone walk by, through my side view. The toilet would flush on its own. Toys would be on the floor when no one was there. Footsteps, sounding like a child running around. Chilling cold as you made your way upstairs. It is known that when there is an entity around you, that the room temperature drops in that certain area. You would feel that, particularly in that area or the home.
Needless to say, we cut the lease because of the activity, it was to the point where the maintenance man would NOT go to my upstairs bathroom!!

Now at times I feel that maybe I should back off!! But then I think about it and I am just so intrigued by this!! I don’t know…I just may stop.

The pictures that I added are on a house in Galveston. This home has been on the market SEVERAL times. The people residing in this house can not stay longer than 2 months due to activity. It is known that house was from the early days. The first murder committed in that home was of a doctor who found out his wife was cheating. He grabbed her and threw her over the stairs and hung her! The second story is of a family who was trying to save themselves from that horrible hurricane that came through Galveston. The father tied up his family and himself to the fence because the winds were so strong and he did not want his family to be blown away. But unfortunately for him…the tide came up and there was no way he could untie himself. It was known that it was 8 of them. When we arrived at that home. There was a sudden chill. A lot of us were saying we could hear kids laughing, I did not experience that, all I experienced was a cob web feeling. Its known that when an entity is there you get a cob web like feeling. Also the red stuff in the picture, was on all the pictures of that house. I even had to change rolls and those were the same. Red substance like that is said to be negative or bad energy!! I will update you guys on some more stuff, I will add some stuff here and there on pictures that we have taken. I hope you enjoy

Girls Day!!

I had a blast this weekend!! Hanging out with my great friend Wendy. We were due for a day to ourselves. We first enjoyed a nice haircut at Visible Changes in Baybrook Mall. At first I wasn’t planning on cutting my hair, but I DID IT!! Once we were out of there we felt like total models!!! We walked around the mall for a bit, trying to kill time until 1pm (for the massage) We finally ended up at Massage Envy. My therapist was AWESOME!! I totally needed this massage!! It was a total stress reliever. After our rub down we headed over to San Lorenzos to get some yummy grub!! BOY WAS I FULL. We told each other we were pregnant!! HAHA.

I have to admit, it was a nice day. I loved hanging out with Wendy who is a wonderful friend. I had missed her a lot and I am very thankful to have spent a whole day with my friend. We have already planned on the massage thing every 3 months!! IM ALL FOR THAT!!

How about them Boys!! 11-1

I have to admit, I am definately tired this morning, my throat is sore from all the yelling, But I am quite ok with that especially since The Cowboys are now 11-1 !!! We beat the Green Bay, Packers. It was a very close game, but my boys always come up!!! Roy Williams did awesome, he came back with his awesome defense, T.O. catching a straight throw from Romo in the end zone!!!

I don't know guys but *sniff sniff* I smell VICTORY !!!

Trying To Conceive

My husband and I have been married for 4 yrs now. As soon as we got married we decided "Hey!! Let's have a baby!!" So on to baby making it was.

Unfortunately for us, the entire 4 yrs of trying has been unsuccessful. You know I really thought this would be a easy. NOT FOR ME!!

So we have decided to go ahead and dig further as to why I have not been able to conceive. I have been to the doctor and all my results show that I am in good health. Ovaries are good, blood and hormone levels are good.

I have done everything from tracking BB, Ovulation Kits, I have even been prescribed Clomid. Once I was on Clomid it made it really hard for me because once they up'd my dosage it was HORMONEAPALOOZA!! I was a wreck.

So I am now keeping my fingers crossed, wishing for the best, praying with all my heart. I will go and see a new Doctor on Dec. 15. WISH ME LUCK!!
