Guilty

All these healthy strives I've attempted seem to be all in vain. No mas, starting tomorrow. Fast food chains, away with you!

Crazy Good

Oh what a day! Here's how it went down:

4:00A - Awoke in the quiet hours of the morning to watch the spectacular star show (meteor shower) God has so wonderfully blessed our eyes to see. Back to bed by 5:50A

9:00A - Wake up call for the cuzzo for bike rides and pool time.

12:00P - Errands on the bike, TGIFriday for lunch, pool time.

6:00P - Dinner, evening bike ride

And that's about it! Ceaseless praises to God for our bicycles and keeping us safe. As the week goes on, my plans are to work, work, work. God is teaching me to have a thankful heart for the job I still have. Thankful I shall be to You, O Lord!

Summer Days

Pool parties after having some bbqs, watermelons, shakes, and movies. Maybe we should throw in some Taylor Swift for more fun.

I still have a month and a half left of vacation before school starts. So let's share some of that fun time together! I miss your faces, yous know who yous are--so give a shout! By the way, this coming week, Wednesday is my only day off. Oh, can't forget about Sunday, then again I never work Sundays. The good Lord has mos def blessed me with that, for sure!

There are loads more to share about knowing and growing this summer. I am about to burst at the seams for keeping these bits of golden blessings to myself--well, they kinda are for myself.

Out for more sun and water. 'Til then my Friend.

P.S. God has blessed me some funds for fun! A new pair of sunglasses because the barely-year-old pair was washed away at the beach (with a thankful heart to Ate HoneyBee). A new bicycle, with beach status (that I may ride out with the good, ol' Cuzzo).

Summer Nights

Oh, these summer nights include much fam love and togetherness! I love it! What else do you need? Maybe some pictures, but I forget all the time. Don't judge me. Here are a few:

Hang Outs

Beach Bums

Monrovia Street Market

And those are the most decent pictures I have scrambled to find. A few more things to praise God for: There is that one summer night I came home and found my mom looking intensely at her phone. I asked her, "Ma, what are you doing?" She simply replied, "I'm texting." Another summer night as I came home, Philip, Nicole, and Mitch were swimming out in our hardly-used pool! Marco! Polo! One last summer night to share--recently, Mitch and I have been renting movies like mad men. Netflix? I wish, but it doesn't seem reasonable to me to have two accounts for one household. That's besides the point; the point is Hollywood Video is ridiculously out of budget; thank God for choices. United Video reminds me of Videos2DVD, but not quite at the same price. Nonetheless, three dvds tonight is the same price as one dvd any night at HV.

So Many

There are so many blessings to share! God has been so gracious--as He always is--to open my eyes to His glories in this life and the life to come. Some snippets...

Grama is praising God, in His Presence, with her husband and my Lola. I traded some--okay, a lot of--work time for encouragement time with my family. Mitch is a growing boy, and celebrated his 14th birthday. Jigger and Besties time. Harvey and Janet are married now. The Barrett's and their new addition to the fam. Mama Josie and fam time. Chloe, girls, and Mitch breakfast time.

More to come!
