April 22nd!

April 22, 2009 I became a United States Citizen... Something I've been working on since I was old enough to realize what that meant... If you've never gone to an Oath Ceremony I really recommend it! It makes you realize how great and diverse this country is... There were 3,499 of us becoming citizens that day! It was a beutiful sunny day, everything went perfect, I couldn't have asked for anything better... I want to thank all of the people that were able to make it there... Tom, Tito, Mema, Abuelita, Tio Miguel, Tia Bony, Liz, Gabba Gabba, Brian, Meli, Eliz, Maddie, Laura and last but not least Chris... I love you guys ur awsome... lol I also want to thank all those that couldn't make it... You guys are awsome too... Thank you all for your support and for helping me study... This was one of the best days... I've had a lot but this was up there on the best ones lol... I am veru proud to be an American!

World Autism Awareness Day, April 2, 2008

Today is World Autism Awareness Day.
Did you know…
*Autism affects as many as 1 in 150 children and 1 in 94 boys

*Autism is the fastest-growing serious developmental disability in the world
*More children will be diagnosed with autism this year than with diabetes, cancer, & AIDS combined
*Boys are four times more likely than girls to have autism
*There is no medical detection or cure for autism, but early diagnosis and intervention improve outcomes
*Autism does not discriminate by geography, class, or ethnicity

update

Sorry I haven't been blogging... I must admit that I blame Mrs. Smith a.k.a Tia Bony because she got me addicted to facebook so I've been doing that lol...

I do have exciting news... If you hadn't heard my Oath ceremony will be on April 22nd at 12:30 pm in the Pomona Fairplex... I got the letter last Sat the 28th and I couldn't stop smiling... I'm beyond excited and can't wait..

Also after my various visits to the Dr. I am hoping everything is ok with me now... lol and the reason I say various is cause I had been there every two weeks for the past 7 weeks lol so I'm trying not to make it there in the next week lol... I've been trying to control my depression/stress/sillystupidstuffthatshouldn'tworryme lol... so yeah I've been feeling good and ready to go...

As we continue to try having kids, and with everything thats been happening with my Dr.'s visits I have realized that I should be enjoying "single" life... and by single I mean life without kids (not that we do things we can't do with kids) but just spending time together alone getting to know the father of my future children just time to ourselves, time I know won't come as easy when we do have kids... I'm trying to look at my life from a different point of view... trying to see the up side of things instead of always the down... Has it been hard? HECK YEAH! If you know me you will understand... lol and yeah its taken me a lil over 5yrs to realize this but I'm glad I see it now lol...

So for now... accept life for what it is and how it comes and enjoy it...

SO yeah thats that... all in a nutshell...
