Feels like Home to me

When I'm alone I spend a lot time listening to music and it so amazing that a song could just speak right to your heart and soul.

Just thought I'd share the song that does it for me.

It Feels Like Home to Me
By: Chantal Kreviazuk

Something in your eyes
Makes me want to lose myself
Makes me want to lose myself
In your arms
There's something in your voice
Makes my heart beat fast
Hope this feeling lasts
The rest of my life
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I've felt so low
If you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And change my life the way you've done

Chorus: Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where
I come from
Feels like home to me
Feels like home to me
Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong

A window breaks down a long dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me
And I can almost see through the dark there's light

If you knew how much this moment means to me
And how long I've waited for your touch
If you knew how happy you are making me
I've never thought I'd love anyone so much

Chorus

Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong


Just listen to it and I think you might agree!

Happy Tuesday Family and Friends!

Oh Boy

Yes that is my smart little Stanford Boy fixing our boards for the new season on the snow.

I'm not going to lie I don't care what job he has in life but holy crap he looks cute as a grease monkey.

To bad he might never have a job that he gets to wear coveralls.

Ryan learning how to fix cars from his hero/dad Joe Andrade.

Ry loves being his dads wingman.

Always working hard side by side.

Hard work, Honesty, Integrity AND LOVE!!

The Andrade way!

I love to watch it and be a part of it!

Six words that made a difference in my day...

I was on Facebook today just looking at some new updates and doing whatever else people do on Facebook

And I often check random people's profile pages and I came across this statement:

"Everybody Dies but NOT Everybody Lives."

How true is this...

Just makes me think about life and living each day like it was my last.

There are times when I just get lost in my head thinking about my life and those around me.

When I drive around and I look at people driving by and I wonder if they are happy.

Every time I think about stuff I always start to pray and thank God for the life I have and the Amazing people in it.

I've been part of the Confirmation program at my church since I was a freshmen in high school which was 10 years ago now.

But since I moved to Sacramento and San Jose I haven't been as much involved as I'd like to be.

And this past Sunday I went back to Confirmation and my heart was filled with comfort and old memories.

Made me miss being part of a community and place where God is very present and teens are finding themselves.

The Confirmation program and youth group helped me have a good head on my shoulders through high school and through the tough times in my life.

God plays an important role in my life and I wish I was able to talk about it more.

But I always feel so cheesy when people talk about religion and God stuff.

I feel like I live life being the person I was born to be, helping others and just living out love.

And I wish that others would find the good in themselves and others too.

So every time you come in contact with a negative Nelly just Smile.

And when you think things are tough and you are struggling with things just know that this to shall pass and that you are put on this earth for a reason.

So live your life and do what you can when you can. Idk! Thanks for listening...

Ohhh.....Jillian Michaels

So I have this odd crush/fascination with Jillian Michaels.

I love to watch Biggest Loser, Losing it with Jillian Michaels and I sickly enjoying watching Jillian interact with people.

By interact I mean yell and break them down but the I love when she helps them realize what they need to do to get their lives back in order.

She helps people and I love when people help others.

So my sister swears by Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred and so tonight I started on my 30 day journey.

I guess if I need to do some exercise I may as well be doing it with Jillian Michaels.

We will see if I last 30 Days... I'll keep you posted!

YAY Disneyland!!

Yup it is true...

Friday marks a very important day.

The girls are road tripping to LA for my Grandma's 80th Birthday.

I've actually never been to Disneyland with my Grandma and my mom said that her and my Grandpa used to go all the time.

I guess my mom would try and get her to take us kids with them but they would only take one of us and my mom couldn't pick who.

Long story short we never got to got with our grandparents.

So for the first time we are getting to go with our Grandma, bummer is she cannot walk as well as she used to so we will have to push her in a wheel chair.

The cool thing about that is we get to go to the front of lines, but I wouldn't mind waiting forever to have my loved ones be able to be healthy and walk forever.

I'm so blessed to have loving family and God bless Girl trips!

They are what make the world go round, sorry Men! (Ryan)

So YAY Disneyland I'm so excited to be going to the Happiest Place on Earth

Gift to the Parents in my class

Love this kids with all my heart! There is never a dull moment with NINE 2 year olds!

Sometimes you get discouraged,

Because I am so small,

And always leave my fingerprints,

On furniture and walls.

But every day I’m growing,

I’ll be grown up someday,

And all those tiny handprints,

Will surely fade away.

So here’s a final handprint,

Just so you can recall,

Exactly how my fingers looked,

When I was very small.

So I'm going to but their hand prints next to this poem, a photo of them under and frame it. My school is not allowed to celebrate Christmas or give gifts but I think of how proud I was as a child when I made a gift for my parents at school. So I'm making it happen and thank God the Director just left on vacation. :) Hope they LOVE it!!!

Love this little Girl!

My kiddos in the evening!

Stamps and fun!
