Lucky Brand.

It has been seven years since I first heard of this line of clothing called, Lucky Brand. My first month here in the U.S.A. hubby and I went to the mall to shop for clothes. I was attracted to lucky brand shorts and tees because of the style and colors. From the time I tried it on I didn't want to go home without it. It was very comfortable and it fits really good. I have enjoyed it for many years. The quality is outstanding.

Just recently I learned that my sister in law is a big fan of this Lucky Brand jeans. I was surprised, almost all her jeans are Lucky Brand. This gives me an idea of what to get her this coming Christmas. I've been started to look online for gifts and I will put Lucky Brand at the top of my list.

Filing N-400 Application for Naturalization.

I finally sent my application for naturalization or the so called application for citizenship. It is about time that I need to apply to avoid any hassles in the future. I should done this a long time ago but I was slow and didn't think of becoming American till this day. I heard the application fees will increase every year, so I thought I would not wait any more time to file the N-400 form.

Most of my friends already have their American passports which is more convenient to travel. I remember my last trip to the Philippines - 2007 I had to wait in a long line to get through and that kills me especially when you have babies with you. It is a big difference when you travel with an American passport. Anyway, I am hoping that the process will go smoothly.

Kids Gymnastic.

I can finally say that we get things settled after our three week summer vacation. My little girl is enjoying her first week in her first grade school and her little brother is always fighting to get up in the morning. He knows that we will take his sister to school and that makes him upset knowing that he has nobody to play with.

We enrolled them in gymnastic and it seems that they are enjoying every bit of it. Their desire for gymnastics started when we visited our folks in Alabama when they attend classes while we are there. It is a good thing for our children. We introduced several activities that might interest them and help develop their ability. It is also a good way to inter act with different children to gain confidence. For my children it feels like a new door of life has opened so wide. I can see the excitement in their faces and their smiles hold no price that money can buy. I know how much they enjoy the experience of learning.

I am Glad to be back Home.

There’s no place like home…an old saying; when a person is away from his or her own nest. I am so happy to be back home from a three week vacation; our annual visit to hubby's family. We arrived home safe and sound late Sunday. It was a very exhausting trip since we had a delayed flight, but we are lucky to arrive on time. It surprised me though because right after we got out from the plane it feels so much better knowing that in 25 minutes will be driving back to our own house.

My girl was a week late starting school. Plus bills are waiting to be send and a hundred emails that were waiting, and a house that needs cleaning. This was my thoughts that played in my mind while I was in the car headed home.

The first thing we did right after we rest was to fill up the pantry and buying school supplies for my princess. Of course hubby couldn't wait to cook so we had grilled steak for supper. He is not tired when it comes to cooking for his family, which is one of his passions. I still have a lot of things to do and it will take a few days to get it done.

"The 7 untold truth about me "

1. We live close to the ocean back in the Philippines and hubby can't imagine the fact that I don't know how to swim. He is bugging me to take swimming lessons with our kids, but I'll just put it in the back of my mind. I know I'll be fine unless somebody will try to drown me.

2. I hate taking medicine and it was always a big battle since I was small and it continues to this day. I preferred liquid medicine when I was a child otherwise the pills would end up hiding under the pillow.

3. Hubby collects Holiday Barbies for me. He knows that I didn't have these beautiful dolls when I was little and now I have so many. He has been collecting for long time and they have their own place in my house. I can't get over how beautiful they are.

4. I must say that I am lucky and blessed that God has put me in good hands here in the United States. I landed to a beautiful family like my own. Thank you Lord.

5. Me and my youngest sister have the same birthday and also my two older siblings have the same birthday.

6. I will get headaches if I can't buy anything when I go shopping.

7. I called almost everyday to my family in the Philippines, I know it is expensive but this is the only way to keep in touch. I miss them everyday.

I have a hard time pondering what to share that will interests you guys and I came up this thoughts. I would like to pass this on to Life is a Garden, Little bit of Everything, Nurse's Life, Anna Alabama, Abielonline, Dorothy, and Donna.

Gymnastic.

Today is my kids first day of gymnastic and they are very excited knowing that they will meet new friends. I know how they love gymnastic and learning about tumbling, rolling , and such. It is what they love to do. I feel bad though because I can't be able to go with them since I don't feel good. But there is still another time, by then this under the weather will be over hopefully.

Hello Huntsville.

We arrived in Huntsville safe and sound. . . thanks God. The family came to meet us at the airport a little late because we thought our plane will be delayed due to some problems but, we were lucky because the crew said we would arrive early than the usual schedule. Anyhow, everyone was happy to see each other and we exchanged hugs and kisses.

After we saw the family it seemed that the feeling of exhaustion came over us; the children's energy seemed twice as before, to the point that they even struggled to go to sleep. It feels like there' no tomorrow for them. We got chicken wings for dinner along with some salad for a quick meal since hubby was starving. I know how the family misses us, especially the kids.
We enjoyed talking and laughing till we all dropped. It was surely good to see them all after all this time.

Blogging from the Denver Airport.

It was not fun getting up so early and getting ready for our flight. We left at the house at 2:30 AM because our plane will leave at 6AM. On our way to the airport, I asked hubby if he got his backpack where all our important stuff was there and he said yea with hesitation. Then when we arrived at the airport he just found out that his backback was not there and I am afraid he left at home. He drove back for 30 minutes to get it and the waiting is what kills me. Oh well!

Anyway, we got the plane on time and we arrived in Denver safely. We still have to wait for our last flight to Huntsville for 2 hours. This is a little bit exciting to me blogging from the Denver airport with their wifi free internet using our new bought netbook. It is a bit hard to type with this small keyboard and read with this cute screen but it is good enough to use for travel. We are exhausted and can't wait to get to our final destination. Have a Blessed weekend all.

Rain and Thunderstorms.

We received allot of rain and thunderstorms this week. It is unusual weather especially this time of year ,but it was a blessing to have this rain. Anyway, we are all packed up for our trip tomorrow. I am hoping we will have a smooth trip , especially for the kids. I am so thankful for my friend Lorna , for watching our house and watering my plants. This is a big favor and we appreciate her help. I cannot wait to see my in-laws; my shopping buddies.

Burton Line Of Clothing.

When my hubby was working overseas four years ago I was left with the kids and living with his family. Since I didn't drive at that time I was depending upon online shopping for clothing to groceries. My sister in law was fond of shopping online as well, and I remember she told me to surf the sites she came across where she bought her clothes.

Most of us love to shop with brand names clothing and accessories. She knows I'm crazy about clothes and shoes , they are one of my weaknesses . I still remember when I went to this website and looked at all the different brand names . I was fascinated that almost all the brand names of clothing was there and not to mention the Burton line of clothing also. Online shopping is very convenient. I've been doing this once in awhile and I love the stuff I get . I always shop online for gifts for my hubby and this is the best way to surprise him.
