Your P.A.L. Kat

so, i don’t ever blog on here anymore…i think facebook is easier and takes less time…anyway, things are good, i am just having some really heavy feelings right now about some things, and i heard this song and the lyrics made me feel better about the stuff im going thru right now…it reassures me of part of my purpose in this world…to be the light God wants me to be, even when i dont think i can…

here they are:

I’ll never have the power to control the land

Inside of me…

that is all…

was awesome!!!  my husband is so great…the fact that im the most impossible person to surprise that i know, jon pulled something sweet off!  all he told me was i needed to be ready by 545pm and to get fancily dressed…so i did, and then my fab roomie, lizzy escorted me downtown where Jon surprised me with dinner at Mario’s…i was so excited, since i have never been there…he had my favorite flowers for me, daisies!

and then, he had a gift that i didnt get til the end of dinner…which was clue to what we were doing the rest of the night…so after dinner we ran home and changed into these…

I heart edward and so does jon!!!!

i freakin’ love my husband…so we went to see TWILIGHT again…it was so fun and just perfect…

we also for the weekend spent a night in san diego after spending a day at the san diego wild animal park, having lunch, and doing wine tasting at orfila vineyards, where we picked up a bottle of geverstraminer…

yummy!  anyway, we spent the ladder of the weekend at disneyland with heather sunday afternoon…jon will be posting alot of these pics…

it was a perfect anniversary and i will never forget it…i love you honey!

we took my niece jamie to se twilight at the midnight showing a few weeks back…we had such a fun time with her…just us and her, which we never get to do…she is so much fun…always talking and so positive to be around…definitely becoming such a lovely little lady…my sweet niece!  i hope we get more chances to do these kinds of things…we REALLY had fun…and it was cool to talk with her about something we both really enjoyed…TWILIGHT…and the comparisons to the book vs. the movie…

anyway, here is jamie and uncle jon playing  game on his itouch while we waited in line…we played more when we got into the theatre…good times!

So, yesterday, i was at t.j.’s picknig up some ingredients for dinner last night, an i saw all of those pretty red flowers you see at Christmas time…poinsettias…was thinkinh how pretty they were an sad that i hadnt bought any yet for the season…so i said, oh well, another day (i was in a hurry)…anyhow, i got home, and found a very large box on my doorstep…as soon as i read the label, i knew it was from my brother steven…it was flowers (he is in the flower business)…

so i figure oh how nice, but little did i know wht would be inside…POINSETTIAS!  lots and lot of poinsettias…it was crazy….i literlly 5 minutes prior was about to buy some, and then i show up at my home to huge box of individual potted clusters of these cheery red flowers…WOW…like literally there were like 24 of them…im so happy!  thanks bro for the gift…i love them!  (i promise to share them too)

i read an entire novel in less than two days…for those of you who know me, i dont read too often…well, thats not true, i read pretty often, i just dont finish books all that quickly…so, picking up a nicolas sparks novel and starting it at around noon on monday-about 2 pm, and then not picking it up again til noon on tuesday, to about 130, and then again last night at like 830-10….and before i knew it, I WAS FINISHED!

i dont know about you and your reading habits, but for me, this is a record…

anyway, i was excited!  and here is what i read…Dear John, by Nicolas Sparks…

 a sappy love novel…of course!

anyway, i looked at all of the books i have read by him, and i have only two left to read…weird!  i never took myself for an avid reader of one author!  i guess things change when you get older…

click click click…was not good ol’ st. nick, but jon and i doing a rooftop photo shoot…it was so not planned…but the pictures we took turned out to be pretty fun…

jons of me are here…

here are mine of him…

we initially went up there to see the beautiful sky colors we saw a few moments earlier…once up there, the view was obstructed…booo, so we shot eachother instead…

my hubby is teaching me…but i do think that the subject i was shooting was pretty darn eye catching if you ask me…

by the way, we are about to share our 2 year anniversary in a few days…
