You do You, and let Me do Me!!

About Me

I am 27 year old woman who lost my husband and the father of our children, Luis on November 18, 2005...That is the day that my life changed and our future changed forever. Since then I have been challenged in so many ways, but in the end I am so grateful for so many things, I am grateful for having the time that I did have with my husband, I am grateful for my children, I am grateful for my family, for old friends and new friends I have met along the way, grateful for life!! So now, here 15 months later, I have had to do a lot of growing up and soul searching, I still miss and love Luis and that won't fade with time...but I have now found other things that can make me happy. I pictured myself being a bitter, single woman from here on out but God once again has had other plans by putting someone very loyal in my life. Jason came in my life at a point when I needed someone the most and has been here for me and my children ever since. I know that what we have is real and true so we can only sit back and see what our future has in store for us.In this ONE LIFE you will achieve successes greater than you've ever dreamed, and suffer failures that bring you to your knees. In this ONE LIFE you will laugh from the bottom of your soul, and cry so much it breaks your spirit.In this ONE LIFE you will love with every fiber of your being, and be loved beyond boundary. In this ONE LIFE you will wrap yourself in the joys and hold them close to your heart, and hide away from any pain you survive. In this ONE LIFE you will make mistakes, do a few wrongs, and break a few hearts. In this ONE LIFE you could bull#$%@, side step, put off and procrastinate. Looking back at what could have been. Dismiss the notion that there is always tomorrow. Always, do what you will, never just what you could in this ONE LIFE.?life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets. so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who dont and believe that everything happens for a reason. if you get a chance, take it. if it changes your life let it.nobody said it'd be easy, they just promised it would be worth it?

My Interests

Any and everything that has to do with my children, road trips, reading, listening to music--its my therapy, shopping, going out, relaxing, BBQ's in the summertime, hanging out with my family, hanging out with my friends from high school, hanging out with my ladies and getting that "W" love, my time that I spend with Jason..from us doing absolutely nothing to us going out

Books:

The Broken Chain We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly. In death we do the same.It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home.You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same, but as God calls us one by one, the Chain will link again.Go to www.photodenver.net/luis.html and see what a beautiful website Stephine did for Luis..........RemembranceYou can shed tears that he is gone, or you can smile because he has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that he'll come back, or you can open your eyes and see all that he has left. Your heart can be empty because you can't see him, or you can be full of the love you shared.You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday, or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember him and only that he's gone, or you can cherish his memory and let it live on.You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back, or you can do what he'd want: Smile, Open Your Eyes, Love, and Go On.

Heroes:

Luis is absolutely a hero to me and my kids and always will be, also all the soldiers who are overseas fighting for me and my family are always in my thoughts and prayers for each of them to come home safely and for no other wife or child to have to go through the loss of their husband and father. We love and miss you Luis!!!!!My sister is also my hero because she is one of the toughest, most real women I know...she always looks out for me and I am so glad that our relationship is what it is now!!Jason is my hero because he is the loving and caring man in my life. He has impacted me in so many ways and is the most accepting man I know. He now has a completely different lifestyle now than what he had before going to Iraq..from going to a single man to being with me, Sienna, and Nikko..and he continues to give me his all.And finally, my kids, Sienna and Nikko are my lil heroes....2 brave, beautiful children that hold such a piece of me!
