That's Just Not My Thing.

    This week has been crazy busy I started school on Tues.. I'm taking tap,ballet and intro to teaching. I love my ballet class I feel amazing when I'm dancing. The intro to teaching class seems like its going to be demanding but im excited to learn how to be a teacher.I'm excited! I am majoring in education and minoring in DANCE whiling getting a dance certification so i can teach. :)
     My husband and I like to have a (guys night girls night)weekly so we can spend time apart and hang out with our friends. which I love because when I get home I'm so excited to see him. So tonight he had some of his guy friends over to the house. I wasn't planning on going out, I was actually gonna stay home watch a movie and go to bed. But my friend asked me to be her DD for the night her and some girls were going out to a bar. They had a great time,the longer I was there the more I realized it just wasn't my thing. I'm the kind of girl that likes to have a movie night go to dinner or get mani pedi or go shopping. I dont like going out to a club or bar setting without my husband and I don't drink so it was a little out of my comfort zone. But I met some new friends and everyone else had a really good time.
     I feel like my relationship with God has been growing each and everyday. The way I look at things is so different. I feel like I am finally at that place I want to be with the Lord. I know who I am and what women I want to be. I dont say i'm going to change and not do it, I'm extremely proud of myself for all the progress I've made in the pass few months. Talk is cheap, its easy to say your gonna do something or that your willing to give up your desires for God but you have to actually do it.
       I am finally getting back into fitness and my diet is improving. If I stress over my weight it will just ware me down, so I am trying to take this a day at a time. The pieces are slowly falling into place.

A Submissive Wife

The Two supreme characteristics of godly womenhood:
Humble submission to their husbands in marriage and fervent commitment to nurturing the next generation.
      She shares not only her husband's challenges and heart aches but also his dreams and blessing. She does not waver; She stands by his side through his good and bad decisions. She loves him unconditionally and tenaciously.
     I decided to write about this subject today because I have been doing alot of things to better my relationship with god and to become that women of god that I want to be.My husband is number 1 in my heart (other then god). I am not the perfect wife I have flaws like every other women out there.Sometimes its hard to stand by your husband and not judge him when you don't agree with him or his actions. I am very strong willed, I try and take over sometimes. I want to be able to still be the strong willed women that I am, but still submit to my husband. My goal is to be that submissive wife that god intented me to be.  I want to be my husband’s crown & joy, not “the other kind” of wife.
    A worthy wife is her husband’s joy and crown; the other kind corrodes his strength and tears down everything he does.” Proverbs 12:4

Dinner At The Caballero's

Last night I cooked dinner for our neighbors( The Adams) THEY LOVED IT. I have to say I did a pretty good job. They never really eaten hispanic food before(not mexican HISPANIC) I made peppered steak, and rice with beans. Its a very common dish in central america, my husband is puerto rican and I am panamena (from panama ). I love hispanic food, my mother only really cooked hispanic while I was growing up. We did eat other things like Italian and some American and Asian ( she liked to cook alot of different things) but our diet was mostly hispanic. I love that because its apart of my culture,so when I got married I did the same. I cook a little of everything but mostly hispanic. If anyone wants to try anything new just look at my Recipes section and you can feed your family a piece of panama jk. Seriously try it its actually has alot of flavor. other then that my days have been pretty boring alot of cleaning and homemaking.I will start running in my neighbor hood in the early morning around 530 am on monday since I start school and I would like to have the rest of my days free. I'll have an update by monday on how my first run went.

The Power Of A Positive Wife

 sarah and I in 9th grade we were cheerleaders.

             I am very thankful for my friend Sarah she has been like a mentor to me. She has given me great advice on how to better my relationship with god. I hope that my relationship with him would be as good as hers with him is. I finally feel like I am at that point, I thank god for her everyday we have been friends since the 5th grade she is amazing. She has and is always there for me when I am struggling she doesn't have to be but she is. Now that I feel like I have that strong relationship I want with god. I've been encourging my friend Des to have one to. I could see it in her eyes everytime I would talk about my relationship with god and how on fire I was. she wanted hers to get better as well she wanted to be on fire with god. I feel like she is growing and I am extremely proud of her for it. Now she has her husband joining her which is great! I am thankful that my husband has always been a man of god. Because I couldn't imagine the struggles they have gone through with that situation. I hope to be for her what Sarah has and always will be for me.
     So Des and I have decided to go through a book together called the power of a positive wife. On mondays I'll be updating my journey in the FAITH section. I am excited to start this book and hopefully it has a POWERFUL impact on me and my marriage.

I Love Ballet

I am so excited to start school next tuesday I am taking a tap class and a ballet class. I danced a little in our last command but I am still rusty. I've danced ballet tap and jazz since I was 5 until I was 15 my favorite has always been ballet. I stopped dancing because we moved to italy my mom and I couldnt find an affordable dance studio. Now that I am older and heavier I hope it doesn't hold me back to much from being the best dancer I can be. This is my passion I Love Dance!
Love

its been so long!

Okay, so its been over a month that I haven't written in my blog. I'll have to admit things haven't been going like I planned I've been a little busy. So the first thing I want to talk about is weight loss.Its one of my biggest enemies I battle with it everyday. Before I was so motavated and I kicked butt in the gym. I was losing weight weekly and things were changing. Its hard to get back into the swing of things after been a lazy bum for almost a full year. I still haven't been as decated as I would like to be. I'll start a week off great, then it will slowly end badly with the help of junk food and fast food no gym time. Its disappointing, I feel like giving up and just being chubby forever.I will not give up so I start my routine again on Monday, wish me luck. I think I'll reread reshaping it all a chapter a day or something to keep me motavated.
    On to the next topic, I start school Aug. 22 and I am kinda nervous. Ever since I was a teen I wanted to go to college and major in dance (ballet).After I didn't apply to any school I thought it was never gonna happen. Plus I gain a good 40 pounds on my little dancer body.  I felt incomplete without dance in my life. even though my husband told me it wasn't a great idea, I decided to major in  liberal creative arts (dance!).I am still majoring in education too, dance is my backup plan. Hopefully this semester turns out great I feel like I am going to be the fattest and oldest girl in my class. I can only pray that it turns out fun and I learn a lot.
     I decided earlier this summer that I was going to start and try to better my relationship with god. I know that its easy to stray from god and fall into ungodly paths. Oh boy I was straying  and I didnt feel complete. I had this pain in my heart everytime I did or said something ungodly, I knew I needed a big change. Its hard when the people around you aren't christian their mainstream ways rub off on you, You find your not yourself. Theses last couple of months I have been growing and praying and reading the bible. I feel like I am on the path of being that Proverbs 31 women I want to be. It hasn't been easy and there has been alot of struggles but I am taking it day by day. Atleast I know in my heart that I am getting stronger. I have refused to do things that in the pass I would join in anyway (drinking). My husband pointed out this amazing church that we are now goingto and I love it I feel so at home. Its bigger then the other churchs I've been too but its still great. I just pray that this continues and that I stay strong. Its hard to not to fall into the thing that the flesh desires.
        Today I have a bbq to go to with some old friends and one of them just recently found out she was pregnant. I am so happy for her but I can't help but be a little jealous. I want to have childern and I want to be a mother I just know that the timing is wrong. I have to be paitent I know god has a plan for me and I put my trust and faith in him. hopefully I can start updated my blog more often. Til the next time
