Missing in my life.

It’s been a long time…

…and so many things have happened!!! But not exactly what I want. Still no kids, and boy oh boy, I really want to have kids. 

 I’m more than ready to be a mom and have someone to take care of. All of my friends, even my little brother, have kids now. It makes me super sad knowing that there might be something wrong with me and that I might just be unable to give life, to create a remarkable being. On a side note, Crossfit is going really well, I really love it! Love my job, can’t complain much there. Love my husband, he is really great! Love my dog, my life (except for the kid part), and just everything around me. I started school…YEAY!!!...it’s online school, but hey, it’s school. So I’m working towards a degree to get myself going somewhere that matters and where I can actually make really good money. Fitness is great, got some good accomplishments going, I need to make a serious list of goals though. Diet is ok…it was really good for a while, then went bad, and now it’s so-so.

 

 TV is great…went to Comic-Con this year again, it was our second time. Soo exciting, saw a lot of people! Cast of Supernatural, cast of Arrow and The Flash, the cast of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D and the full Avengers cast. Saw Sons of Anarchy cast (minus Jax), and Seth Green. Ninja Turtles pizza guy Ernie Reyes Jr. and even Weird Al Yankovic!  So it was definitely really exciting and fun this year.

More adventures to come…hopefully wrapped up in a blanket with a little one.

2014-Year of the BadAss!

2014-The year of the bad-ass!

Well, here it is…2014! I thought I would be pregnant by now, but unfortunately that hasn’t happened. So instead, I’m going to brush up on my other skills. I will be jumping head into CrossFit and learning to ride a motorcycle this year!

So I started Crossfit around July 2013…but didn’t really go full on. I started out slow and cautious, since I had soooo many people warn me about how dangerous the sport could be. After about September, I think I started to take it a little seriously. Then I got sick in December, and we went on vacation so I practically missed the entire month! A huge setback. Once January started, I started right back up. More determined to move forward and not be last place in everything that I attempted. Here it is in March, and the Crossfit games have barely started. The first week I attempted the workout and really surprised myself. I completed one of my goals…to complete a workout with the RX weight:  A 10 minute AMRAP (as many reps as possible) of 30 Double Under’s and 15 Power Snatch’s.  The is the second week and now it’s Overhead Squats and Chest-to-bar pull ups. I can barely do a max OHS with 55lbs, the RX is 65lbs for the ladies. Chest-to-bar is a whole other issue…I am still working on just doing kipping pull-ups! So I won’t be able to do even one Chest-to-bar. Just one more thing to work on for my Crossfit Bucket List. First thing was getting the Double Unders. Got that down! Next thing I guess is going to be the Toes-to-bar, I almost have that one. Then the rest that I need to work on will be; kipping pull-ups, strict pull-ups, muscle ups, ring-dips, hand-stands and hand-stand push-ups…and I think that’s it. The OHS I seem to have, just gotta work on balance, and weight...we'll see how it goes!

Libra Outlook for 2014!

Libra

If you've been a sad and solo Libra, fear not; relationships take ridiculously high precedence in 2014! You surely will not be alone. If you're already hitched, expect a series of mind-blowing lessons and non-stop insight in the realms of romance and long-term commitment. This is your year to uncover and break through any codependent patterns once and for all. If you've been struggling with commitment issues (what Libra, doesn't?) you will have tremendous support from Saturn and the Nodes of Fate to keep you from your usual fence sitting. The big shift takes place in March when the North Node of Fate moves into your constellation triggering a series of very fated, life-altering events and destined relationships that will unfold over the next few years. All of your relationships (not just romantic) will be radically transformed, as will you. The themes of balance, justice, and beauty will be all consuming starting in March when the North Node moves into Libra. You'll feel right in your element as others will also be learning all about the art of diplomacy and compromise with you for a change. Life is about to feel infinitely sweeter in 2014.

Jupiter continues to bring luck and bounty to your career zone during the first half of the year, so take full advantage of this fortunate influence while its hot. The attention and accolades that began last year will continue to take you and your professional status to the next level. If you've been hemming and hawing about how to put yourself out there in the world, this is your year to decide and go for it! No more excuses, Libra -- you've got way too many gorgeous gifts to share. Plus, you definitely do no want to miss this amazing opportunity that comes only once every 12 years. After July, you'll have the same lucky bonus in your house of goals and long-term plans and ambition. This will just strengthen the success that started last summer.

Your social life is about to explode with more networking opportunities and party invites than you will know what to do with, Libra. Starting this summer your friends and social zone are highlighted for the next twelve months. The people you meet will seem like angels and kindred spirits. Your playful and childlike nature is accentuated during this time and life is just filled with fun and pleasure. Your creativity is top notch this year as well because you're feeling more passionate and driven than you have felt in ages. 

This is definitely a year for many splendid things. 

Libra!

2013...what a great year!

So...this last year, 2013...what an amazing year! So many awesome things have happened, and I am too excited to see what this next year will bring!  Lets see...well, I had a wonderful surprise in January when I found out that I was pregnant...only to miscarry in February.


 Since that gave Jon and I a reality check, we decided that we really should get married and have children since we wanted to start a family, and we wanted to do it right! So, we planned our wedding...for APRIL!!!! Yes, we got married!

 It was a beautiful wedding on the Beach, just what I always wanted. And I had a surprise visit from my Uncle Mike, and Victoria Parker! Then we got to spend our Honeymoon in none other than Disneyland!!! We also decided to go to the San Diego Zoo and Sea World as well. It was a lot of fun.

Well, after we got our life started together, we just had a lot of fun this entire year. We got to go to Comic Con for our first time. Saw the main cast of Captain America!!! Even saw Samuel L Jackson! We also got to see the cast of True Blood, American Dad and Family Guy. I think that out of all we liked, the Cartoon Artists and the Voice Actors were the best! We got to hear/see Grey DeLisle, Kari Wahlgren, Fred Tatasciore, Scott Menville, Christopher Cox, Michael Leon-Wooley and a special appearance by Chuck McCann! We only ended up going for just the one day (Saturday), but next year we plan at least three days. 

Jon won both of his Powerlifting Competitions! Such a huge accomplishment for him, I am very proud!

 Well, after that we did Disneyland again for my birthday, and also it was Halloween themed as well. Dressed up as Alice in Wonderland for Halloween, Jon decided to do Raphael (TMNT). It was classic! Thanksgiving with Jon's dad and Lori. Andy decided to move down from Reno and stay with us for a while, he was planning on moving to Austin, TX eventually...so we'll see how that pans out. Both of us got our first Tablets! I got the Surface Pro 2, and Jon ended up getting the Dell Venue 8 Pro. Love them both! 

  I decided to start doing Crossfit, and boy do I love it so much! I don't think I'll ever join another gym in my life. I get to meet awesome people, and become stronger!

We decided to also see Medieval times in Buena Vista, where I got to hold the actual Legend of Zelda Master Sword and Shield!!! Then another awesome Disneyland trip, this time it was Christmas themed.

 Christmas was with Jon's mom and Bill...that was so much fun! Got Jon his Xbox One and some other fun stuff, and here we are...the end of the year. Lets do this 2014!

My New Life

2012-Year in Review

Well, here I am, almost a year later from my last post, and now that I look back, I am so blessed in the things that have come my way. I find I have the most wonderful life. This last year I moved 530 miles with my beloved dog Chai to be with my boyfriend. We've shared our one year anniversary, each-others birthdays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years! We also got a Hulk Truck and a nice Condo that were living in now...still only a 10 min walk to the beach! I am now a full California girl...got my drivers license, hotwheelz plates, and even changed my phone number!
In my move here to beautiful southern California, I have lost as well. My family seems so distant and unwelcoming. My mother hasn't talked to me in months, and my brother disowned me for silly reasons that I fear he will only regret in the coming years. I am still in contact with my 'foster' parents. I do talk to them here and there. I am so happy that they are still in my life. I miss all my friends very much, so I might plan a trip to see them!
My job is very good...I actually quit the job that I got when I moved here and got another the next day. Pretty amazing in this economy! Love my new job, it's the same thing I was doing before...banking...but it's full time now, and I'm still in the position where I'm not going to advance to anything or make anymore money anytime soon, as in the next 5-10 years or so. So I still need to get on board with a career. Which brings me to my next stop...school! I have applied at the community college here and I have gotten approved for a student aid. I have also taken the placement tests so I know where to start. I have only to do an orientation class and also take a academic advising class in order to proceed with taking my actual classes to start my path of getting a degree. I think that a lot of people don't think that I was going to go this far, cause whenever I mention what I've done it seems to surprise everyone. I need to do this, and finish this...this is my new goal this year as well as getting myself out of the crazy debt-hole that I've seem so create.

Diet and fitness is good...although fitness needs a lot more work. I seem to lack motivation at times to go to the gym, and on top of that I feel embarrassed to go as well. I just don't like being there when there is a lot of people, and since it's the new year, the gym's are usually crammed up by new years resolution people. It should calm down a bit within a month. I just need to kick my butt into gear and go!
So this last year has taught me much, and I still have more to learn. This next year I have many plans and I look forward to a lot of adventures. I want to be a bit more active in doing things like hiking, camping, walking on the beach...I also want to take a trip to Reno to see all my friends that I miss so much! I need to get this school thing going for me this next year, seriously get it going. Comic-Con is also in the works, and we hope to get tickets to go in July. Disneyland, and San Diego this year hopefully too...and planning for a future with my boyfriend.Yeay for 2013!!!

Libra Outlook for 2013!

Libra

2013 brings you nothing short of a total rebirth, Libra. You can finally bid farewell to the heavy and austere presence of Saturn in your stars since late 2009. You have had enough lessons in love and commitment to last you a lifetime. Now you're ready to put those lessons to the test by pursuing your true calling and passion. No longer will you be satisfied with simply scratching the surface of life. You're prepared to go as deep as necessary to create something of lasting value. You want nothing less than the truth, and nothing short of profound meaning.

You'll be putting more attention and importance on finances than you have in a long time now that Saturn has moved on to your money zone. This is the year to finally work on a budget and devise sound economic strategies for increasing your income without working yourself to the bone. This is an excellent time to get out of debt as much as you possibly can so that you can save your pennies for the whirlwind of change on deck in 2013. The eclipses will rock your money sectors, so be prepared for sweeping gains and losses, and plan accordingly.
You'll continue to break out of any codependent relationship ruts with the ongoing influence of Pluto and Uranus sparring in the cosmos. You've certainly learned how important it is to value your authenticity and independence in all of your dealings with others. No longer will you fall prey to being too nice. You see how crucial it is to set your limits, draw your lines in the sand and commit without wavering. Saturn taught you to get off the fence and take a firm stand. This is how you gain respect. Your diplomacy and charm will always serve you well, but you realize now that they must be backed by the iron fist in the velvet glove.

The End...

My old life, me...living in Reno, is officially over! I moved, yes...to be with my boyfriend in Santa Barbara! So I will start fresh and new. No more depressing stuff, or feeling down like crap, no more cold days and nights, no more trying to drive in the snow, no more 100 degree summers...goodbye, the Biggest Little City in the World. I just have to say, that I am very blessed...and will now be starting a new blog! Hello Santa Barbara; The American Riviera, or I should say Goleta; The Good Land! I'm goin California Crazy!

Libra Outlook for 2012

Libra

Although many have secretly been dreading the arrival of 2012, you've personally been looking forward to it. That's because karmic taskmaster Saturn has been doing a number on your life over the past two-plus years. Relationship lessons have been relentless throughout this time. If you haven't made important decisions about where to commit - and where to quit - these are your final months to do so. Don't wait another 30 years to get clear on what you truly want in your relationships. You'll be in the throes of Saturn's testing until October, when it moves into your neighboring sign, Scorpio. Consider this your final exam!

Jupiter will be in its fellow Venus-ruled sign of Taurus, making a magical aspect to your stars for a good portion of 2012. Jupiter's lucky presence in your sector of sexuality, transformation and other people's money brings every material and emotional resource you could ever want or need. You'll have no problem attracting the proper support to fund your current or future projects. This is also the year for coming into your true power by transforming all the dead weight of your past. Change looks good on you, Libra. You've been shedding layers of karma, and now you're about to reap the wonders of renewal.

World travel beckons in 2012, so pack your bags! The spring-summer eclipse patterns activate your travel sector in May and June, and Venus is in your travel sector between April and August. During the retrograde phase in May and June, you may want to be lay low or avoid more intricate itineraries. Mars will be spending the entire first half of the year in your sector of sleep, unconscious processes and dreams. This could create some inner turbulence (if not all-out insomnia) if you don't give yourself enough expressive and physical outlets. As always, it's about finding balance, Libra.

Autumn is here...

Finally too! I love the fall, except it just a preparation for everything that's going to die or dying. But everything is so beautiful, the colors and the air. At least where I live, the one week of spring we get and the month of fall is the best time here.
