My mom




My mom also is visiting us. My sister in law already left, but mom will stay for the holidays.

My sister-in-law





My sister in law Alessandra came to visit from Brazil. She's having twins girl, we went shopping everyday, for almost all day. We had lots of fun .

My B-day






This year I didn't want a big party. I didn't want to cook,to clean. I just want to have fun and enjoy myself, my family and my friends. I had a celebration with Greg and the Kids and another with Greg and my dear friends.
I went to do what I love the most "DANCE", we went out to eat and dance. 26 of my friends came along and we had a awesome time.

Wow 48 years old!!! I remember that I waited forever to be 18, then 21,after that seemed like I had a b-day every 6 month. hahaha!!!! Not complaining, I enjoy every second of my life. Of course I'd love to keep my exterior youth forever, but I'll try hard to keep my interior one. My spirit will be FOREVER YOUNG.

Until we meet again....



Today was brother's Dial service, what a organization,love,respect, it's amazing how we all get together to help,this is something about the Mormons that I admire. Greg and the boys went to help set up the chairs,I help prepare the dinner,I thing everybody from our stake or not wanted to help we had in our building today people from all faith.There were over 1,000 people.
All the talks were amazing,but when his older son Rodney spoke was hard to anyone hold the tears,the things that he told about his dad.Rodney just got married not to long ago, he's such handsome and sweet guy. He cried so much,he laughed so much,he said he dad loved his children but he loved their mother more,he said that his dad only spoke soft and gentle words to his mother. What a great example.
Rodney spoke about the pain that his dad won't be here to hold his first child.Rodney spoke a lot about marriage,about love,about his father and our Savior, about eternal life, about been together forever as a family.
He talked a lot about his father with so much love and respect,Rod was his best friend, all the memories that he will have forever of his dad.
Greg said this was the first service that when it was over he felt inspired, my son Cody said the same thing. Uau!

What righteous man,how much he loved the Savior and his fellowman, he lived his life and the gospel to the fullest and died doing something he loved. His family will be okay,they love each other so much, they had a great example and mentor, they know they'll be together someday, that this life is nothing compared to eternity.
Goodbye Rod until we meet again, I'm sure you made home, I'll do my best to see you there someday :-)
I'll try harder to be the best that I can be. I loved the movie that I watched tonight Fire proof, it's not Greg's kind of movie,but he liked and we talked about the movie when it was over. We both agreed sometimes people get used to each other,they forget the reasons they fell in love,they stop getting to know each other, they let other things deceive their hearts. Good movie. I told Greg he is a such a great example for his children too :-)

It's going to be...

I better go to sleep,it's going to be a very sad and emotional day. The viewing will be at 1:00 and the funeral at 3:00.Greg and I are not going to the view, we want to remember brother Dial smiling and happy,but we're going to the services. Me and others sisters will bring dinner for the family and all the families and friends that came out of town and are at the Dial's home.
I like the way that all of us get together and are so willing to serve. I tell my kids all the time.God can't be here to do everything, sometimes we don't have mom and dad close by so God created FRIENDS, if you have friends you're not alone.I call my real friends "Angels among us", I have great friends and I believe I have great special Angels around me too.
Greg and I spent some time today sitting outside talking about what happened,it seams so unreal,both of us were crying thinking about his two younger boys,about the whole family.
We have a big surprise party to go tomorrow night, is our friend big "50" b-day,but I really don't feel like going, maybe we'll stop by for a little bit. We'll see how the day goes.
We talked we need to serve more. Our family enjoy going to serve dinner on Thanksgiving's day for the homeless and then we come home and have ours and talk about our experience. The kids really appreciate and like to serve dinner for them.We're looking forward to go help wrap and help deliver presents for those in need for X-mas. I know there are more things we can do.

Sunday Talk

A sister from Korea gave a talk Sunday at church, she said she always says no when they ask her to give a talk (this is me I always say no,I haven't given a talk in 7 years),but this time she asked to think about it and decided to say yes.
What a talk, it was wonderful,everybody was paying attention.
She asked how many of us has traveled in a train.She said she did several times in her country,she said you pass through several tunnel some are small,some are a littler bigger,and some are very long and dark and that sometimes you stay several minutes inside of one.Because it's dark the small kids cry because they are scared,the older kids play with their shadow in the window and the adults think about their life.Sometimes takes a long time but each tunnel have an end and there is a light.
So she compared those tunnels with our trails,some are small, some are bigger,some of them seams forever and w/o solutions,but like a tunnel they'll have an end and there will be a light.Like the tunnel we have to have faith because you don't know what's ahead at the end of the tunnel.
I really liked her talk,the Lord always answer our prayers and answers come from anywhere,from an ensign, from an stranger,from anywhere, it's up to us really listen to the answer and don't ignore because it's not the answer that we don't want to hear.
We only have this time here on this earth to be the best that we can. I was telling my friend Maria today, that the Lord loves us and he doesn't expect us to let other people hurt us,use us, the Lord really expect us to do what is right, but to also stand for ourselves and never forget who we really are. Sometimes we have to have courage to fight a great fight,with the knowledge that doesn't matter how much it hurt we are not alone,beside our Heavenly Father and Heavenly family, he gave us earthly family to give us a big and warm hug,real friends, because he knew we would need that. I don't know why but I felt a strong desire to write about her talk.Doesn't matter how long is the path and have to go through, we are not alone.
