day 3 is this a joke?? haha

so my hawaiian sister is the subject for my 3rd day of joy... well her and her new fiance :)
i was honored to be semi apart of this event and it couldn't have gone better... her and her lovey have been dating for a little over a year and almost immediately they knew they wanted to be with each other forever (isn't that how it should be?? haha) my sis is def. a planner and doesn't really enjoy surprises so i think if he would have let her she would have gotten on her own knee ha! but luckily he is beautiful and went all out to surprise her!
everything about it was perfectly simple yet beautiful and screamed THEM as a relationship! we started on a walk on the beach (typical for us) and about 20 steps into she found a rose with a note to her .. and then another and another and they led her down the sand to finally him .... the whole event ended at the beach him and i grew up on and when she and i became close i brought her too and then they started dating so she moved down to his side... so many memories like before they started dating and we would creep on him and his friends cuz she thought he was so cute! haha
anyways i wish these 2 the best and im so excited to help with the planning of this even cuz its gonna be perfectly amazing <3

i wouldn't want my sister to be with anybody else...
thank you  both for showing me what true love really lives and looks like <3 i love you guys

Day 2 - gymNICEstics

so my day job i coach gymnastics to little peanuts... and daily it is either my fav. thing to do or i wanna poke my eyes out haha just depends but lately i've realized no matter what im really feeling you gotta "fake it till you make it" because the little gymnasts just wanna have some fun haha
so today's joy for the day came from one of my fav. little girls i just started coaching her a couple months ago ... she is a happy 3 yr old that just wants to be loved on and high five'd when she does a skill correctly... you can tell she is use to being around adults because she attempts to talk older then her age. but today was stood out in particular... after her class i was talking to her mom ... the little peanut was also showing me stickers she got at her dance class.... so after she pulled me real close and said here is a sticker for you because you did a good job today... made my heart burst with joy such a sincere smile was plastered on her face and a sense of pride because she let me know  i was doing good haha i gladly excepted the sticker and kept it on my jacket all day... thank you munchkin gymnast for making miss alyse's heart melt <3

                    

Day 1 gavito

so this morning i had my 3rd day of work at my new job... a coffee drive thru place by my house... side note its really good coffee .. anywhoo probably like an hour into my shift my sister brought my little peanut through to get some coffee for herself ... today he was extra excited to see aunty and apparently my sis let him dress himself (im bumming i forgot to capture it on film) but i'll describe he had his pj bottoms and hightop chucks on and in hand his new spongebob kick board he got for his birthday.... he is so proud of this item but he doesn't really know who spongebob is haha! his voice is adorable with his little lisp and off pronunciation of words it brightened up my morning and made me such a proud aunty... and lucky me on his way out he blew me a giant kiss... you can't help but smile when your around little munchkin nephews and today def. wasn't an exception :) 


<3 

this smile will carry anyone through a bad day <3

28 days of JOY

so in this new year im learning to find joy and happiness in everyday little and big things... 

its surprising when you choose to be happy eventually you actually start being that way ... weird haha ... 

so im giving myself a challenge and im going to document it... 

for the month of feb. i am daily going to blog something big or little that happens to me that reveals joy and happiness ... life's littles pleasures i like to think of them 

im laying in bed about to pass out and i can only imagine what im going to encounter... but i have a good feeling about it that i will :) i was told one time that in order to make something a habit you have to do it 21 times so i added an extra 7 times just for good measure... because i feel like finding happiness if a good habit to have so lets get this thing started 

<3 

one of my fav. verses 1 peter 1:8 and 9 

has such a beautiful line "be filled with an INEXPRESSIBLE and GLORIOUS  JOY" 

so imma find that in this next month 

purpose ... :/

why does everyones purpose in life have to come after they achieve a piece a paper costing hundreds of thousands of dollars in a frame on a wall... after they have sat so many hours and been taught things their supposed to believe , understand, follow... is that wrong? nope for many it works out and yet for many very close to myself they do all that their supposed too and that very expensive paper continues to sit in a frame on a wall in their house while they work a job ... that is just a job, a paycheck, a 9-5 while they let adventure slip away. I was told my whole life to find a career that i love so so much and am passionate about- but can i have both 1. a stable income 2. and real passion for my trade .. i have no idea. back story- i suck at school honestly and truly i'd much rather learn biology english anything else in the field actually doing it not being tested on things i was too distracted to study the night before and having to read stories i could care less about and will forget. where are you learning passion in those?? where are you learning about being adventurous? i have always loved the IDEA of school and loved to pretend i was an A student when i was little... i wore glasses so people believed it easily but truth it is ... it was a constant battle with myself my parents and teachers give me a problem i will solve it give me a cheer routine i will make it better in any way i can. have me study for a test- no happening so easily. do people around me know how to handle this? not so much ... is it their fault? i don't want to say it is... people are so so different why do only the ones who have a paper framed on a wall get looked at i bet they can't tell you detailed directions to a place that they've only been to once (i can) i bet they can't make an amazing meal and make you feel like family (my mom can) some say the non-paper framed people just haven't worked as hard... i call bluff i have two parents who have worked their little bootys off everyday 
do i think it is fun to play college? sure do i wish i was like my friends going away and doing their thing? most days yes ... 
but then i am where i am right now laying in my bed @ 2 am listening to music and just finishing up a convo with my best friend who had a real issue they needed to talk through and i was there ... i was available i helped i listened i loved i comforted ... these moments are why i don't regret i wanna be apart of something amazing some adventure like no other .... with or without a paper framed on my wall 

Do as i say not as what has been done haha

my little broskie is 15 (ahhh) he's a freshman in high school... a sports stud and and all around boy so what does that mean... he is into girls and my cheerleaders are into him (yikes) when we where younger we def. did not get along (sorry mama) i hated him he hated me and it sort of in a weird way worked ... people always told me it was just a phase and we soon would be friends and i politely smiled and said what i really thought in my head. but unfortunately they where right haha just joking ... fortunately they where right. don't get me wrong he still drives me nuts daily but now instead of being disgusted by his presence i enjoy hanging out with him. like i said earlier he is getting into girls and their def. getting into him... but im on a mission... he will not be a punk that i myself have had multiple experiences with or i might kill em (joking) i also dont want him to be run over by girls because i know we can be brutal but i just don't see the point in him becoming the kinda guy girls love to hate and hate to love ... he can be confident yet humble... studly yet coy... manly yet sensitive. just tonight i was getting all my stuff from my ex and putting it in a box/ reading old letters, looking at old pictures. he didn't say anything just saw i was bumming and came and say next to me ... and then started playing a game on my itouch... now im 99% sure he was just there for the game but the act brought a happy tear to my eye- REFRESHING... i like that we can finally be like this  i can give advice and still play like a teenager if i feel like it and not be judged haha ... 5 years ago if you asked me if i would be getting ready to snuggle into bed and watch a movie with my little brother i probably would have laughed at you ... thank god times have changed :)

 

advice to whoever reads this: love your blood... and take deep breaths when you have a younger sibling remember you were where they are once too <3

The game... bleh!!!

alright being single now... i forgot the rules of the stupid game... im not saying im playing it or trying too but the thought still occurred to me... 
why do we have to play it? the passive aggressive, coy, hard to get annoyance that starts any relationship :/ my last relationship didn't have any of that THANK GOD! he was in basic for the air force and well there really wasn't time to be stupid and mess around we just where and it worked out for a long while... but thats over now, and im so afraid imma have to be thrown into this world that i so hate haha... that sounds so dramatic haha but i guess i don't like it because i suck at playing it?? ... when i know i want something i go and get it (or try my hardest) ...so if i want you... then i want you!!! haha if my decision is made its MADE... i guess that throws of todays way off thinking though oops! haha i hate having to seem like im not interested if i am or not talk for a couple days to build up anticipation for when we finally do get to talk or acting like  you haven't been on my mind 24/7 since apparently i haven't been on yours... or have i and your pretending as well... seriously? how is this a good foundation to start a relationship? lol i LOVE adventure and this to me is adventure that part that isn't is the constant waiting and wondering ... in my life if im curious about something (anything) i ask, hunt, search, and ultimately find out ... but this little sticky situations puts me back in my seat and leaves me helplessly curious... my best friend and hungarian sister use to say how fun and freeing would it be if we went up to some one and said "your cute im cute... lets date" ok i know thats really crazy ... but the concept still stands... why not just go for it... where do you ever get if you hold back... maybe we won't work out ... but at least we tried and experienced and didn't waste time not talking or hanging out because were making the desire for one another stronger? ... lame excuse if you ask me haha 
but thats just my opinion haha :/ 
p.s im not speaking about anyone specific so no worries haha















i thought this picture is so cute... its a penguin couple haha the zoo caption said its how they pick their mate <3 lol
