Happy Thanksgiving! Frank and I spent Thanksgiving together. Frank deep fried a small turkey and I baked a small turkey as well LOL Both came out REALLY GOOD! We had stuffing, potato salad, Mashed potatoes and candied yams. We were reminiscing of a time 11 years ago when Frank and I got back together. It was the BEST and GREATEST choice I made. I always tell Frank, "I" chose him ;-) All in all we had a wonderful Thanksgiving together. Our fridge is full of leftovers and our bellies are content!
This is the first time in YEARS that I did not wake up early and venture out in the cold to shop for great prices. I originally wanted to hit the stores, but opted not to simply because my shopping is 'almost' done! I have 2 more people to buy for and then that's it :-)
Last night I was online and found a mall up in Manassas and asked Frank if he was up to checking it out today. We got up around 10am and an hour later we hit the road. We were both surprised that there was NO major traffic in the direction we were heading (West=away from the metro area). The other surprise was how many "Hawaiians" lived out here! I saw several vehicles with local stickers, UH of Manoa decals, as well as Aunty's with Hawaiian bracelets LOL Felt awesome :) This mall had JCPenney's, Target, Wal-Mart, Macy's and Sears (as the anchor stores) and of all restaurants, an IHOP as well! If they had a Lane Bryant I'd be freakin happy and beg to move there! How great is that right?! Not only that, they had a Costco up the road, a really nice Dollar Tree in the other direction, a Marshalls across the street and a bunch of other stores as well! We hit ALL the major stores and would you believe, we only spent $100. Seriously. Great deals though :)
Tomorrow our church is "decking the halls!" Which gave me an idea..."WE" need to deck our halls! Normally we decorate the house as soon as we're done shopping, however the past couple years we've decorated on Saturday. I think tomorrow that's what we'll do! Supposed to be a nice sunny day too!
Sunday will be my day of rest. Laundry, cleaning the house and preparing meals for the week!
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving/Black Friday holiday :) May you be blessed all season ☺

LASTNIGHTS DREAM
I can honestly say, that I have never had a dream like this in my entire life. It had shaken me to the point where even now, 26 hours later, I'm deathly afraid to go to bed. I think subconsciously my brain is scared, my eyes are tired, my body is tired, my brain is scared. Times like this, I wish I could flip the switch off to my brain.
My dream--I was sitting in my living room trying to comfort my mother in law who had recently lost her sister. My mother in law was grieving and couldn't stop crying, my dream was utterly depressing...nothing I said, was making her feel better. In fact, Angelica began yelling at me in Spanish saying things like, leave me alone, you don't understand how it feels to loose a loved one. I did know how it felt, however, I walked away and let her be. This part of the dream is fuzzy, but I remember my dad standing in front of me smiling and saying, Ho babe! Finally yo hea, been waiting long time! You ready for go? I remember looking at my dad saying, WHAT?! Why are YOU here?! YOU'RE..................... DEAD!!! Then I notice my papa standing next to my dad and my dad tells me, I'm dead? No babe, You're DEAD! Then he smiles--but I'm completely unafraid. My papa says, come on we go...we gotta go already...been here too long, hurry up! Then before I could say anything, Angelica's sister (tia Amaya) shows up and is soo happy and smiles and says, Thank you for being with Angelica. You really helped her (I can't remember what else she said,) because at this time, I notice my self lying in the bed. As if I'm flying above my body looking at it and see my husband laying next to me. I swear it was like an out of body experience! I remember yelling at Frank trying to get him to look at me, but he kept sleeping...I remember waking up and crying. Literally bawling my eyes out cause I was like, WTH was that?!
All I can say is, I hope it's not a premonition to how I'm going to die. It was the most strangest, scariest dream I can remember. I just hope my dad, papa and Tia Amaya are doing well and that their spirits are resting in peace, but seriously, I don't wanna dream where I'm floating above myself! That was too weird.

BLOGGING AROUND
First off, where has the time gone? I look at the date and see that it's already the 11th of APRIL! It wasn't too long ago when I was just putting up the decorations for the holidays and now tomorrow is Easter LOL
So much has happened in these past few months. For starters, It has become apparent that my husband is officially getting out of the military in a couple of years. Time for him to move on and be a civilian--he has served our country well and I am proud of him for that. My job is awesome. I love what I do, and strive to do my best daily--it's a challenge that's for sure! I and my staff survived Spring Break and I can't wait to go back to my 'normal' schedule on Monday.
My health is all right--can't complain--but really wish we could have children. It's not in God's timing though--one day though, when we're settled, we do plan on adopting. In the meantime, my dogs will have to endure being spoiled rotten and loved upon :)
I absolutely, without a doubt, love living back on the east coast. I don't miss the traffic, but I miss the energy, the lifestyle, and the ocean. It's not the same as the islands, but then again, it's an ocean and I'm grateful to see it everyday :)
I can't believe it's SPRING! Normally it isn't my 'favorite' time of year, due to the fact my allergies nearly killed me while living in Kansas, however since living here, I can honestly say that I don't miss the allergies and love the COLORS all around! The trees that line my street, to the birds on the deck just make me sooo darn happy! Goodbye, dreary winter, hello beautiful Spring. I also have to say that come May, I will most definitely be spending it outside on my deck enjoying my sun tea and a good book to read :)
