hello everyone...well i am finally getting excited about our house...i haven't been as happy or excited as shannon has been......i guess it is because men are from mars and women are from uranus.....i don't lay in bed at night planning out how i will decorate each room....i am tired of looking at pictures of our house on the internet...and i finally had to tell shannon to stop showing me the paint chips she had chosen for each room....but now i am finally coming around.....that doesn't mean i am doing the things listed above - i am just happy....i am excited and also nervous....i have never owned my own home before....i have never been in debt more than we make in a year.....i guess i always imagined buying a house as being in the distant future but that distant future is now only 2 days away.....i guess i am becoming an adult....i feel like i need to start wearing dockers and penny loafers and slicking my hair back as the first step in the comb over process.....adulthood here i come.....holy crap!   am i ready?

In Between Dreams

hello again....well it has been a long time since i have done this...i don't know whats wrong with me. i use to be so faithful in expressing my thoughts on here. a whole lot has been going on since then.. here are a few of my thoughts and news

shannon and i are buying a house which i am so excited about! the expectation of the move is kinda overwhelming....never have i owned my own house before and the thought of it is kinda strange....i wonder if our kids will have the same cool and happy memories of our home as i do of my parents home...how do you cultivate those types of memories? how do they take place? i am excited to work on something that is mine and that i care about.                                                          i am a MAN- now i have a cave to bring my woman to!!

the other day at church a dude (our pastor) talked about how sometimes demons can cause sickness. Jesus identified that some sickness is just sickness and some sickness is demonic.  Interesting...never thought about that before.

it's hard to change people's world view of simply thinking about america to including other countries and nationalities....how do we change americanized thinking to consider those who are so exploited because of us? 

as most of you know, i am hispanic.  as shocking as this may sound, i am non-white.  i really haven't experienced racism as much as other minorities have.  i don't know why, but i just haven't.  the other day i was faced with racism.  it was quite strange.  i was angered and shocked that people would look at me as a substandard race compared to themselves.  it's strange that people still hold these beliefs...that someone is better than someone else simply b/c of their skin color. 

sorry for the long post...that's all.

The Spirit of Christmas
By Ray Charles

Today Shannon and I went to finish up our Christmas shopping and the strangest thing happened to us.  While we were pulling into a very congested parking lot, we were met with holiday cheer.  A vehicle decided to cross into our lane going the wrong direction.  They came towards us at a high speed of 10 mph.  While the driver of this vehicle thought this was an acceptable driving procedure, I, as the defensive driver that I am, stopped as to avoid a collision with this raging vehicle of death.  Although I was not at fault, being the bigger person in this situation, I did not make any hand gestures (the birdie), but simply stopped and waited.  This uncontrolled driver flailed her arms and mouthed #@$%$^&#$%^ (censored for possible underage viewing) at me.  This whole situation caught me off guard.  I had no response except for uproarious laughter.  This only seemed to offend the uncontrolled raging motorist.  She proceded to post a paper on her windshield for me to read.  I am getting up in years however, (almost 30) and could not make out the writing.  I am sure that it was simply a Christmas greeting and wishes for a happy new year...

Man....the holiday spirit is upon us...
