Life is a rollercoaster of smiles and tears

About Me


A lot has changed in 2006...I started a new job with Hawaiian Telcom as a Finance Analyst and I absolutely LOVE my job. Most people probably wouldn't find it as exciting as I do, but I FINALLY can say I found my niche. Big event #2: I married the man, Michael Castellano, who was my very first boyfriend in 8th grade, on June 24, 2006 at the Kamehameha Schools chapel. Big event #3: He and I are also expecting our first little man on November 27, 2006 - I am so over being pregnant! He's an active one and we're definitely looking forward to seeing how our physical features mesh to create this little person! Big event #4: We are ALSO in the process of remodeling a townhouse in Mililani for our first home together and the results are amazing. What a little paint and new carpet can do to an old, dirty house is awesome.
What else? My mom moved to Las Vegas on June 28, 2006 to join Celine Dion's show at Caesar's Palace...just kidding. Even better, she fell in love. It has been hard without her here being that she has been my strength for the past 24 years, but I'm so happy she has found someone to take care of her. She'll be home soon to spend time with us and her new grandson, which will be such a treat.
Mike and my faith continues to grow each day. Through all the changes, God has continually been faithful to us. Whenever we hit a wall or an obstacle, God is there to show us our new path, an even better path. I can honestly say, given the circumstances, some would think Mike and I got married just because we're having a child together. That definitely is a factor, but we definitely have a WONDERFUL marriage. There are kinks here and there that every marriage experiences, yet at the end of the day, I can't imagine falling asleep next to anyone else. He's perfect for me and we'll definitely grow old together!Perry playing with Daddy

Judgmental...

The word judgmental always has a negative connotation associated with it.  Why can't it ever have a positive meaning?  When you're judging a person, you're making assumptions, negative assum...

Video: Perry and the Paper Towel

I put a wet paper towel on his head and part of it was blocking his right eye. He had no idea what was going on. It was hillarious. The best part is the end when he looks at you with that quizzical...
