It's LOST day!!!

Woo hoo! My favorite show is on! There's only a few more episodes left! I'm so sad! Boo! But it was great while it lasted! So what will I be watching now? I don't know. I'm a fan of other shows, but not like LOST. That show was so captivating and mysterious and funny and crazy! It was awesome! So I will enjoy what episodes are left and in the mean time try to save my arm and leg to buy the seasons on dvd. My husband didn't like to watch it at first, but then he really got into it later! Ha Ha! He even has his own theories about it! All I know is that I would love to go to the LOST Fan Party in Hollywood come May. That would be awesome! TTFN

Going Home Soon

So from what I can tell, my husband is getting better. The doctors are completely ecstatic about how the skin graph is taking on his foot. They are very happy with the progress that is made not only with the foot but with his sugar level as well. So with that, we should be going home to Southern California soon! Yah!!! So happy! I've been so homesick. I hope to be back at work and get our own place soon after that. I hope I still have a job when I go back. From the letter it didn't seem that way. Well, we're in the Lord's hands, that's all I know. Okay, that's all for now.

A Little Sad

This past Friday, March 26, 2010 at around 5am, my Tia Felipa went to be with the Lord. She was my mother's aunt but was always like my tia anyway. I will miss her greatly. Two words come to mind with my Tia, Shopper and Giver. She liked to shop everywhere. Like she could spend 2 hours in the Dollar Tree. But the reason she shopped so much? She gave. Even to people or kids she wasn't around all the time, but she gave. I will never ever forget what she gave to me, when I just turned 12 yrs old. I was on a trip all around California with 40 other 6th graders. When our trip took us to the capital in Sacramento, my tia was there to greet me with a gift bag. Little ducks were on it, with some soaps, and a little cosmetic case with a mirror and a lipstick. Bright pink. I only got to see her for a few minutes, but that memory has lasted me a lifetime. It is something I will never forget about my Tia Felipa. Rest in peace Tia. Jesus has you now. You will be in our hearts forever.

Wish I was somewhere else.

So another day, another dollar that I don't have. Money isn't everything, I know, but sometimes I think maybe it would be good if we had it so we could have our own house, maybe another car, or get 2 new cars, and just a place with nice furniture and a nice bed. All this time, everything we have had or owned has been because it was handed to us or we bought it from someone else. I've never bought my own sofa or dining room set or bedroom set or even a mattress. Even the car we have is because my husband suggested it. Don't get me wrong, I love my car. It's roomy and it's the color I've always wanted, but I didn't pick it out from the beginning. I wanted the bug. However, the wheelchair would not have fit so well. So kinda good we got the Camry. I have been kicking myself for years and coming down on myself that I don't deserve anything or that I'm just a loser and that's why I never get what I want. But maybe, that's the whole picture here. I've had things and places and family taken away from me because I hold things too dear to my heart and I don't let God do what He needs to in me, because I'm holding on to my heart instead of giving it all to God. Help me Lord. Help me rely on you more than what I know or what I see or what I am. I need you now more than ever. Help me be who you want me to be.

Another Fun Day in Fresno

So today I took my husband for another appointment to the dr so they could change his dressing on his foot. Dr and the surgeon say everything looks great! Thank you Lord, that is such good news! Afterwards, we spent the day in Fresno. Best Buy (got myself some new headphones), Berean, Chilis, it was nice. That's the way we used to be anyways. We were always going places. It felt good to get out of the house. So, this week, he should be able to start walking again. Yah! That is so great! I hope we can get back to normal someday soon. That would be nice too.

Homesick

So I've been taking care of my husband at my in-laws because he lost a toe due to severe diabetes that we didn't know he had. We've been here since Thanksgiving and I really miss home. Maybe I should say where we live. We live with his sister and her family for the time being. He lost his job last year. It's been a little rough this past year, but all we can do is not look backwards at where we were but look foward to what's ahead. What's next? What's in store for us in the next bend? Anyway, yesturday, my husband and I had a rather fun filled day, even though he was in a wheelchair. That did not stop us one bit. So I say "kudos" to those of you that are in wheelchairs or have to use a walker. You guys have your work cut out for you, but you do it day in and day out. I salute you. Hopefully, my husband will get better. His sugar seems to be more stable lately. That is good news. What's around the next bend? We'll see......

My first blog

I always wanted to start a blog. Now I have. Hopefully anyone who reads these blogs will be able to just see random thoughts, ideas and whatever else I have bubbling in my head. I have lots of time right now, being that I am taking care of my husband at home. So, Light from the Cliffs means that my favorite thing in the whole wide world is a lighthouse. Which one? I have two favorites: Old San Diego and Santa Cruz. San Diego because it is my favorite place to go and Santa Cruz, because I enjoyed my 2 yrs at Bethany College in Scotts Valley and we always went there. So that's it for now, will write more later.
