hello.

after spending way too much time perusing all sorts of different blogs this week, i decided i would join the fun and start my own. that was the easy part. i take that back, signing up was a breeze too. all the other stuff, mind baffling. what the heck do i write about? i guess i should just start by telling you who i am. let the randomness begin.

i'm a sister, a daughter, a tia and friend. i love to laugh and hate to let people see me cry. my favorite part of work is when i get to help people with special needs. for christmas i got a kitchenaid...it was love at first mix. i could bake and cook all day long but dishes tend to ruin the fun. i look white, i talk white, but deep down inside i'm brown. my idea of "comfort food" consists of tacos, puerco asado, and maduros.

i am happy. i am grateful. i am blessed.

travel is my heart. photography too. travel + photography = bliss. i still have a LOT to learn but am eager to do so.

i have a niece and nephew for whom i'd move heaven and earth. their smiles melt my heart and their laughs are the highlight of my day.

i love my life. i love my friends. i love the temple and gospel of jesus christ.
