I want to write something beautiful.
I want the words to slip out of my heart and onto the page.
I want to write something that moves and inspires someone.
I want this page to be filled with wonderful treasures just waiting to be discovered.
I don't need my words to change the world, just as long as I can make a difference in one person's life.
I want to believe that my words were meant for someone, someone who needed to read them.
Maybe someday this page will be filled with words of wisdom.
Maybe someday this page will live up to its expectations.
But right now it's just a blank page,
yearning to be written on.
Yearning to become something beautiful.

You are here
I have decided to do a "you are here" post every day (or whenever I feel like it) featuring a different city around the world. What's so great about it and what's not so great about it. I don't know about you but I have always wanted to travel around and see different places. so, if you are like me and you have never been satisfied staying in one place for too long or are just interested in other places besides the place you're in, then this post is for you!
You are here: Dubai
Apparently Dubai is the fastest growing city in the world and foreigners make up 80 percent of its population. Hmmmm wonder why that is? Well, it could possibly have to do with the being able to shop and ski at the same time. Yup, you read it right. in Dubai Emirates mall you can ski indoors while shopping! Dubai actually has the world's best malls and is apparently trying to get the title for the tallest and biggest everything. They now have the tallest man made structure, tallest hotel, biggest mall, and the world's largest aquarium. So, besides the 100 percent humidity and sweltering heat, Dubai has been declared one of the best places to visit.
What kind of blog is this?
When I first started this blog my main topic was going to be about parenting and the humor that goes along with it, but I kind of changed my mind. I realized that I didn't want to stick with just ONE topic; I wanted to cover a whole BUNCH of topics. Obviously, I am still going to talk about parenting because that is one of the most important things in my life but, it's not the only thing in my life. I do have other interests you know?
What might those other interests be you ask? Well, for one, I am planning on going back to school soon because I realized that it is almost impossible to pay all of the bills and still be able to get my hair done, and man do I need it DONE. I also like giving people valuable information; like great deals on fabulous stuff. And sometimes (well, maybe all the time) I like to voice my opinion on certain subjects; which could range anywhere from celeb gossip to politics (probably not though cuz I hate politics and couldn't care less about it). But, in all honesty, I just want to write about what my readers want to hear. So, if you are reading this, and not too many people are but if you are and you would like to voice YOUR opinion about what you would like to hear then feel free. Note: I may discard your idea if it is stupid.

Jesus and the Easter bunny
So, even though my daughter is only 3 months old I wanted to do something special for her for Easter, this being her first Easter and all. My husband isn't really into the whole Easter thing but I feel like it is a right of passage when you are a little kid. I wanted to see her face light up when she saw the Easter bunny for the first time but then I remembered that she's only 3 months old and won't know what the hell is going on anyway, soo maybe next year. But, to be completely honest, i'm not really sure what the hell is going on with easter either. Seriously though, what's the deal with the bunny? And the painted eggs? Bunnies don't even lay eggs. Who came up with this idea anyway?
I mean obviously if you're a Christian you would be celebrating Jesus's resurrection, but where does the famous easter egg hunt come into play? I tried looking up the meaning on Wikipedia but there were a bunch of big words like antiquity and vernal equinox and something to do with bunny fertility. So, what exactly am I supposed to tell my daughter when she asks how Jesus knew the easter bunny? Maybe if I give her enough peeps she won't ask.

The Walker family
My husband:
Chris is one of the most spontaneous and fearless men i have ever known. He puts all of his energy in everything he does and he NEVER gives up no matter how many times he has to fail in order to succeed, which he always does succeed. He truly was handpicked for me, he completely balances me out. He keeps me laughing even through the hard times and he always keeps me guessing. I feel like I learn something new about him or from him every day, he is full of wisdom. Sure, he may be a little messy but I have yet to meet a man who isn't. He is passionate about God and strives to be the best husband and father he can be. He absolutely loves (and is a little obsessed) with video games and basketball. His dreams in life are to be a pro gamer and a semi pro basketball player and because I know what kind of man he is, i know that he will achieve his dreams and I am here to back him up 100% of the way. Sometimes, i feel like my heart will explode from all the love that I have for him.
My daughter:
Noelani Shell is such a sweet and beautiful little girl. She was born January 22, 2011 and weighed 6 pounds 3 ounces. She is only one month old but she has so much personality already. She has got to be the biggest drama queen I know, if you touch her wrong she will scream. She loves to cuddle and she LOVES to eat, just like her momma. She has to be held at all times by either her mommy or dadddy and she will scream if you put her down even for 2 seconds. She will fall asleep instantly if put in the car and will wake up as soon as we get home. I love this little girl so much and me, being a new mom, worries about her 24/7. I worry about her skin, her clothes, how she sits in her car seat, her poop(size, color, texture), and when she is sleeping I have to check on her every 5 minutes to make sure she is still breathing. She is so precious to her daddy and I and has us wrapped around her little finger.

What does it mean to dream?
The definition of dream is a succession of images, thoughts, or emotions passing through the mind during sleep. It can also mean a vision voluntarily indulged in while awake; in other words a daydream, but when i hear the word dream neither of those definitions come to mind.
When i was a little girl I would spend hours in my room listening to all of the up and coming pop stars at the time. I would put on my little costumes and dance around my room with my karaoke mike and dream about being a famous singer. I had it made up in my mind that I was going to do it and I wasn't going to let anybody stop me, i was going to the top one way or another. But, unfortunately, I grew up like all little girls do. when I got into high school i still loved to sing (still do to this day) but one thing i have learned the hard way is that your dreams can get crushed when you listen to too many people instead of staying true to yourself. i was told by family, friends, teachers, etc. exactly how my life was going to turn out. I first needed to graduate high school with a 3.5 GPA or higher so that I could get into a good college where I would meet my future husband and we would get married after we graduated and got into our careers, then after a couple of years we would have some kids who would ultimately turn out just like us and go down the same boring path, blah, blah, blah. It sounds nice and all, but it wasn't exactly what I saw, nor how it actually turned out.
A year after I graduated high school, I met my husband. I knew he was the one as soon as I met him. After that first meeting, there was no turning back. Six months later we were married and 9 months later our daughter was born. Needless to say my family wasn't too happy (actually they were furious). But, I never once felt bad about how my life has turned out because I stayed true to myself. I may not have done things the way my family wanted me to but I did them the way I wanted to and I may not be a pop star to the world but I am to the ones that really matter.
