I have great memories!

Hello everyone! Well I was looking at some pics from a few years ago and I found this:

 
My little brothers! Ha! When they were little...because now they are big, well not too big but yeah they are growing up. Haha I still remember when my brother Alfredo used to talk like a little girl, and now he talks like a MAN! haha it's true...his voice has changed so much and wow! I can't believe how time flies!

Well I just wanted to share these beautiful pics from the past! Take care all of you!!! :)

I LOVE MY FRIENDS!

Hello everyone! Well we are in a new year, 2011! How fun is that? I am very thrilled for this new year, in which I will learn more good things, in which I know I will experience new adventures. I am very thankful that God let me the opportunity to live another year.

Anyways, the point of this post is to say that I love my friends. What a blessing is to have friends in your life! Those friends who make you a better person, they make you feel loved, friends who care about you, who are sad when you're sad and who enjoy when you are happy! I am very blessed because I have these people in my life and I am going to mention some of the many I have in my life. By the way, If I forget to mention someone. I'm sorry. I am Karla and I am not perfect, but If you are part of my life in some way or have helped me in some way as well, I want you to know that you are in my heart and that I am thankful.


Well, First I want to mention someone who is my friend, we used to be BEST FRIENDS but for some reason we stopped seeing each other, but she is a very special girl who loves life and who has helped me so much in my life. I remember one of the many things she did for me like when I was in the hospital for having a huge headache, this girl took her of me for 9 days, she even slept with me just to make sure I was doing alright. She is a really good friend and I will never forget her because in the time we were together as best friends, she did so much for me. Her name is Gloria Solis and she is not only amazing she is beautiful too! I love her!

You see? I told you. She is gorgeous.

The second person I want to mention is my friend Wendy Ramirez. Oh my gosh! I love this girl. She is an amazing example for me, she is a good daughter, a good student and a good friend. I love her with all of my heart and I know that without her, life wouldn't be the same. She is beautiful too. Well not to be conceited but all of my friends are beautiful, I can't think of a friend of mine that is ugly, all of them are beautiful in my ways. This girl has helped me so much as well, she listens to my crazy stories, and even though I am telling her the same story over and over, she is there to help and give me advice. I love you Wendy! I love you A LOT!

Wendy is the one on the right. I stole this picture from facebook. Well I am actually stealing these pictures from facebook haha. Anyways.

Another person I want to mention is my friend Rand Mills. I met him when he came to my ward to serve as Elder Mills and since then we became best friends. He is an amazing person, who helps me so much. His advice has helped me to continue in life when sometimes I feel that nothing else matters. He is not only handsome, but funny too and he also listens to my crazy stories.

                                                                Yep! This guy is amazing!

Ok, let's continue. Another person is someone that I miss so much since she doesn't live where I live. She is from Utah (The best place ever haha). Her name is Katelyn Griffiths. I love this girl, she is one of the people who can make you feel so good, after being so sad. She also listens to me a lot and I know that she cares for me a lot, the same way I care for her. She deserves to be so happy because she is way too amazing. She is very humble and has charity (the pure love of Christ) I love her so much.

I forgot to say that she is beautiful too. Really, she is inside and out and I miss her so much, but someday I am going to visit her in Utah :) She is very funny too. I love you Hermana Griffiths.


Another friend, that is so cool, fun and amazing is my friend Diana Miller. This girl is gorgeous, she is a barbie and I love her because she inspire me so much to be a better person. In the moments that I feel like crap, she reminds me that I'm a daughter of God and how special I am. Thank you Diana Miller. I love you A LOT!

Diana Miller is the one on the right. I love this picture by the way. These girls are Rhea Forsyth, Nicole Mann and Diana Miller.

Another great person I want to talk about is my friend Daisy Rocha. Aww! She is adorable and really she has done so much for me, really so much. She was a missionary too and she was one of the best, with a great testimony and always helping others and that includes me. Thank you Hermana Rocha for everything you have done for me. I love you!

Daisy is the one in the middle. She is the coolest! I love her so much and wish her the best, she deserves to be very happy for making other people feel happy when they are sad.

Well, another person is Nicole Mann. This girl is beautiful and wonderful. I miss her so much since I haven't see her in years. We don't talk too much but when I talk to her, I feel so good. This amazing person has helped me in many ways as well, has given me advice and has made me feel that I am a special person too. I love you Nicki.

Isn't she so gorgeous? She should be a model, don't you think? Anyways... Te quiero mucho hermanita!

Alicia Chavez is my cousin, the best cousin someone could ever ever have. She is my friend too and I love her so much. I wok with her, and she is the best. We are very different but I think that's why we get along. I respect her life and she respects mine, we have never ever fought, not even when we were little. I love this girl!

Oh yeah, my cousin is HOT!! haha well, she is very beautiful. I love you cousin!

Another person who is fun, beautiful and wonderful is Michelle Partridge Boyer. I have the great blessing of calling her my friend. She is awesome, she listens to me, and I love her because she is so nice to me.

Oh yeah, I know she's pretty :) Thank you hermanita for being so awesome! Te quiero mucho!


Well, I think I'm done. As I said before. I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings. If you are part of my life, I want you to know that I love you. Thanks for being my friends and for helping me to be a better person. God bless you all!

Karla Chavez.

Good bye 2010!

As I said in some of the blogs I posted before, I can't believe that 2010 is almost over. Time flies people, it really does! I guess that's why I always hear that we should enjoy every minute of our lives, I don't do a really good job on that, but I keep on trying. Anyways, I don't wanna talk about sad things, otherwise; this post is to mention all the good things that happened to me this year. I am very thankful with my Heavenly Father and ofcourse with Jesus Christ as well :) God has blessed me so much and in many ways! Like I said, sometimes I just don't value all the good things that I have around me, but when I think about it, I realize that I have so much in my life and I feel so greatful because of that. Great things happened in 2010 and is not over yet, we have 5 days left. Wow! I am excited for a new year :) Ok well, I am gonna start with the wonderful things that happened on 2010.

1. I realized that I am capable to forgive others. Really, I always told myself that I could forgive everyone, until something huge happened and I felt that forgiving this person was so hard, but with time I forgave this person with a sincere heart, and how thankful I am for that because If we forgive others, Heavenly Father will forgive us as well :)
2. My mother stopped smoking. Yep, after many years of trying and trying, she finally made it and I wanna thank officially to Elder Potter and Napa. God used them as instruments to help my mother and inspire her to be stronger than a cigarrett.
3. I had 3 different jobs this year haha. I was first a seller in a car dealer (I didn't like it at all, sellings aren't for me but I learned some things about cars ;) ) Second one, I was a driver for an Auto Parts shop and it was fun, I learned more about cars haha, and the one that I have right now, I take care of old people, nothing to do with cars but I need to practice A LOT my pacience which I think it's great.
4. I finally confessed my love to someone for the first time in my life and I felt good, even when this person didn't feel the same for me but it's all right. I still think he is amazing and like we always say: "Everything happens for a reason". :)
5. I received my calling to be a Seminary Teacher, I don't know how long I am gonna stay there, but I am so thankful for all the things I learned and I learn as a teacher :)
6. I had my first date in my life as well with a good guy and cute at the same time ;) haha nothing huge happened, we are only friends but I discovered how great is to be on a date with someone that is super nice and fun.
7. I started recognizing that I have many blessing in my life and realized how much I need to start being thankful because I have them instead of complaining for the things that I dont' have.
8. I got to hear some great music haha like She & Him (This group is great) :)

And well, there's some others too ;) Belle and Sebastian is one of my favorites too. I think music is great, I feel like I will always be faithful to Music because it is so great, it helps me in many ways in life, when I'm sad, when I'm in love, when I'm mad and well so many ways, plus Music belongs to Heaven, I mean good music ;)

So, as I was saying about 2010. It was a great year and I am thankful that God has let me live in it and have experiences in my life that has made me learn things that I need to know in life.

Karla Chavez!

Hasta la vista, baby! ;)

The most beautiful voice! :)

Hello everyone! Well this is a video from the concert, I didn't recorded obviously since I wasn't there (bummer) but a friend sent it to me and I was amazed, David Archuleta has a very very beautiful voice, I don't care if people think that I'm crazy, this guy David Archuleta is amazing!!! :)

Christmas is coming soon! :)

I can't believe that this year 2010 is almost over. Christmas is almost here and I'm excited about it! I love Christmas :) It made me sad before, but now that I know what this really means, I just love it! Everything is so nice about Christmas.

1. You get to remember that our Savior and Redeemer Jesus Christ came once to this earth to be our example and to guide us to the light.
2. You also remember that He'll come again. That makes me think a lot of the things I'm doing to be prepared when He comes :) (I know I need to work harder).
3. Everything is so beautiful in Christmas, even the weather haha jk well it is cold but it's ok, we should enjoy it as well, especially for the ones who get to see the beautiful snow :) I love the snow, that's why I can't wait to go to Utah or some place with snow.
4. You get to be with your family :) How nice is that? Really, it is a great blessing. I know I don't have the greatest family, but I love them with all of my heart and I know that life wouldn't be as wonderful as it is without them.
5. You get to decorate your house, my favorite part!!! Well this year I didn't help my mom haha I was busy, but I love the fact that we have a Christmas tree and red decorations ;) I love Christmas Trees :)

Another thing that I love about Christmas is the beautiful temples :) Oh my goodness! They look adorable, I got to see once the Salt Lake City Temple with lights and I felt so great, I was so thankful for being there and get to see it in person. This is not a picture I took but this is how the temple looks in Christmas, actually it looks way better in person :)

Isn't this so beautiful? I think it is. I am so blessed that I have the gospel in my life, I am so blessed that I can actually enjoy this :)

And ofcourse, the most important part, Christmas isn't Christmas without Jesus Christ! He is our Savior and Redeemer. Right now I feel like the hymn says: "I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me. I tremble to know that for me he was crucified. That for me, a sinner, he suffered, he bled and died".
Really, that's how I feel because I can't comprehend how amazing He really is. He loves us that He came to die for our sins so we could have the opportunity to come back to our Heavenly Father :) That is so pure and beautiful! It makes me think again of the things I'm doing. I want to be better, I know I can be better, I just dont' try enough sometimes, but it is worth it to work hard because of Him, because We know that Heavenly Father will bless us and someday we are gonna be able to be with our families for eternity :)
I love Jesus Christ and my Heavenly Father, I am NOTHING without Them and I need them in my life all the time. I am thankful we have Jesus Christ, I am thankful of His example so we can follow it.

Isn't Christmas so beautiful? :)

Well yesterday Thursday December 16th David Archuleta performed with the Mormon Tabernacle choir, today friday 17th and saturday 18th and sunday 19th, David Archuleta will be performing too, and I am so sad that I am not there.

I am a big fan of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, really! They are so great and everytime I listen to them, I feel the Spirit, and I am also a big fan of David Archuleta, he is such a good singer, I love his songs too, he seems a very nice guy and he is cute too :) How amazing is that? haha :)

Wish...

I catch myself thinking of you

Thinking how you make me feel

how you put a smile on my face

How this feeling is real

I wonder if you notice me

If you know that i'm there

If you ever think about me

If you know that i care

I wish i could have the strength

To walk up to you and say

That you're the reason i smile

The reason i breathe air

Sometimes i wish i could forget

That this feeling i could erase

But i know it's impossible

Because when i close my eyes all i see if your face

I know i'm not supposed to care

Or feel the way i do

But i can't deny my feelings

When i know they are true

I don't get to see you around much

And it makes me sad

Makes me wish i could have with you

All the wonderful things i never had

Every night i lay in bed

And i think of you

And ask myself a thousand times

Do you think of me too?

Sometimes i see you

Pass outside my door

I look at you and wonder

If it's me you're looking for?

I wish i were the one you turn to

when you're having a bad day

Knowing that i'm the person

Who'll make it all go away

I wish i could be the person

You long for to touch

A person who makes you smile

And for whom you care so much

I can't tell you how i feel

Even though i want to

I just keep on thinking

You wouldn't feel the way i do

i guess you'll never know

About the way i feel

Because deep down i know

It probably wasn't meant to be

You bring joy to my life

And brighten my day

You make me feel better

In every possible way

I wish i had the strength

To tell you how i feel

To tell you that i care

To tell you that i'm for real

The thought of you not knowing

Makes me want to cry

It cuts too deep down

Makes me feel like i'll die

I wish you could look into my eyes

And see the love i have for you

See me for who i am

And tell me you love me too

I hope that someday

I'll have the strength to do

What i always wanted to

And that is to say " I love you"

But till that day comes

I'll watch you from far away

Admire and love you

Like i did till this day

So if you don't know by now

Maybe i'll tell you someday

But till then i want you to know

That i love you, and that's all i'm going to say.
