Welcome to my world!

Yay!

"It's better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all"

"Sometimes we loose things we care about to be reminded of what we need to focus on"

Dont' know what's going on!

Hello everyone! I don't really know how to start this blog, there are so many things I want to say but I want to think of how to say them because I really don't want to make my private life public. Anyways, I want to start saying that life is full of surprises, great things happen when you least expect them, and at the end you end up where you never thought you would and that doesn't mean that, that certain place is bad, it is just that you never thought about it but it is good still. 
Well, right now my life it's kind of boring and I hate to say it but it is. I don't have job, I'm not studying, I'm just at home cleaning and that's it. I haven't had a lot of success on finding a job (I guess for some reason I haven't put a lot of effort on finding one) Am I depressed? I hope not. The truth is that I need to change all of these. I want to be happy! Really happy! And I know that happiness doesn't come when you get the things you want but when you learn to love and value the things you have. Happiness is when you learn to love all people around you and when you serve others. And that's what I want now! I want to stop thinking about me (I mean at some level because of course I have to work for my goals) but I want to be able to help others more, that way I will stop thinking about my drama which is not helping me at all.

Life...



Hello everyone! Well today I decided to write in my blog since I haven't done it in a while. I know I'm not a really good blogger...I should be better haha but sadly I just don't have time sometimes. Anyways! Today I am very thoughtful (Well to be honest, I can be a very thoughtful person) I think so much about my life. I think of the things I have and on the things that I don't have, but I want to get better at recognizing the wonderful blessings that I have in my life because If I think of the things that I wish I could have but I don't, we are just gonna get depressed here, and no! That's not the point!


Today was a great day, and you know why? Because I worked! It is a wonderful blessing to have a job, even if it's one that you don't really like too much, but THAT doesn't matter too much because how many people are out there begging for a job? and at least I have one :)


I am so thankful I have my mom by my side, I try my best to be an independent person, but seriously my mom helps me too much and I don't know what would I do in life without her. Moms are amazing! :)


I am so thankful I have the gospel in my life! I would never get tired of saying it! I don't know how my life would be like without the gospel of Jesus Christ....I am sooo blessed!! Knowing that there is Someone up there loving you just the way you are, hoping that you will be better but loving you with pure love still, knowing that there is an AMAZING BEING taking care of you and telling you: Don't give up because I am with you and I won't live you alone!


I am blessed because I have a place where I can always stay with my family, a calm place :) I mean a place where I feel good and safe because If we are talking about my house being calm I would be lying haha during the day my house is most of the time full of people and we can be kind of loud....We are Mexicans, what can I say? haha :) 


Well, I'm gonna hit the road. First, because I don't want you (the reader) to get bored! 
Second, I have to go to bed and rest because tomorrow I have to work too.
and Third, because my mom is going to kill me if I stay late using the computer :) haha you know! Mothers!!!! :) 




Well before I go, I want to share a video that I love it has nothing to do with my subject but I love it!




I am still obsessed with the guys from "Il Volo" I can't believe they are so young and they have such incredible voices!! :) Well hope you guys like it! Bye! :)

Time in my life!

Sometimes I am very thoughtful about the time in my life. All the people who know me know that I want to serve a full-time mission for The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. I always talk about it because that's something that I would love to do. So I had a job, I was already saving money for my mission, but now that I don't have a job, I just feel like the time stopped for me, even though time never stops but I just feel like it did. I was so thrilled about turning 20 years old last month because I was thinking: I only need one more year for my mission! I can't believe that before I was counting the years and now I am counting the months...but since I don't have a job anymore and I'm not studying either (for now) I feel like the time is going so slow! Agh! But I also know that it shouldn't be that way because I also want to enjoy every single day of my life...it seems like just yesterday I was 15 years old and now I am 20!!! I feel old haha even though I'm not. And I think that I have to enjoy this last year that I have with my family and friends before going on a mission, because maybe when I least expect it I'll be already 21 and probably when I get there I'll say that I wish I could go back to enjoy every moment and I don't want that to happen so I need to figure out how to enjoy every day. I guess I'll I need to do is not to think so much about the future, I just need to live day by day, of course I'll always have my goals in mind and work on them but without ignoring what I'm living at the moment. 


I just thought that was a cool clock, don't you think? And it relates to my subject so yeah :)


Anyways, changing the subject a little bit, I am looking for a job, I'm not sure yet but probably I'll work as a "nanny" soon. I still need to go to an interview. I hope I can get the job, I love kids...and...I need a job! :)


Well, time to go.

Hello everyone!! Well...everything's has been alright! Not so much had happened in my life, just a few things. I lost my job like 2 weeks ago, so now I am looking for a new one. I am really sad I lost my job because I loved it, I don't know If I ever mentioned that I was working with the elderly and I loved it! I really like helping others and get paid by doing that it is just great haha :) Anyways. I really want to find another job because I want to continue saving money for my mission. Did I ever mention how much I would love to serve a full-time mission? Well, If you didn't know. That is one of my biggest dreams ever! I know that the Lord loves everyone of His children, I know that my Redeemer Jesus Christ lives and through the Prophet Joseph Smith, He restored his gospel, I also know that the gospel blesses people's lives, I know this with all of my heart, so why not to share that with the world? Plus I would be serving the Lord by serving others :). But to be able to do that, I need to save money, of course. So that's why I need to find a job and keep saving money. I really hope I'll find one soon, I just hope it's a job like the one I had before...it is amazing when you find a job where they pay good, treat you right, and you love what you do, but let's see what happens :)


Well, I also want to talk about today. Today was a great day but it was a sad day too. Two of my favorites missionaries who served in my ward just left. Elder Houghton and Elder Batschi. Both of them are amazing! And of course, my family and I will miss them A LOT! 
The reason why my day was great is because today Elder Houghton's family and Elder Batschi's family came over to my house. It was so great to have them over. They are very nice people and I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet such amazing people! So I would like to share some of the pictures we took today.


I really like this picture because all of us were together. 3 families in a picture haha! I just don't get tired of saying how nice they are...every single one of them! 


This is Elder Batschi's family. They are from Washington! They were very nice and kind all the time!


And...this is Elder Houghton's family!! Very nice people too, so kind and humble!! I will miss them a lot!! :) and they are from Texas!


Tiffany Houghton. Elder Houghton's sister! She is so pretty and nice. I am glad I got to meet her! :)


And of course, a picture with coolest missionaries ever! I will miss you guys!!

Mexico vs U.S.A.

So, today at 5:00pm (California time) Mexico will be playing against U.S.A. I am so thrilled for this game and anxious to know what the score will be. I am hoping Mexico will win since I am from Mexico, but if U.S.A. wins I'll be happy too because I love U.S.A. too, it's the country I live and I love so many things about it. So let's see what happens today!! yoo-hoo!!!
VS
 GOOD LUCK!!! AND YOU CAN'T MISS THIS GAME!!! :)

and ofcourse I can't miss it either cuz my boyfriend will be playing!! (Alright! He is not my boyfriend, only in my dreams but he is haha) ;)

Mi chicharito!!! :) Make many goals my love! haha :)

I'm back again!

Hey everyone! Well too many bad and good things had happened. I don't know from where I should start. Anyways, I guess I'll start from the beginning haha! Well, my computer was messed up and I was so sad, so I had to give it back to the store where I bought it and they took so long to give it back to me again, but finally I have it again and guess what? I am happy! :) 

Well, while my computer was gone. An important event happened!
MY BIRTHDAY!!! YAY!!! 

I really love remembering this day cuz a lot of people made me feel so good this day. My facebook wall was full of nice comments and for me that's very special. Someone who takes part of his/her time to write something for me, that is just so special. Anyways! Also my mom made a party for me, well it wasn't really a party but let's call it like that lol :) The missionaries from my ward came over and they brought really cute presents! I just love them! 
I'll post some of my favorite pictures! Well almost all of them were my favorite :)

Ok so I know I look kind of funny here, but I was so happy when Hermana Waite and Busch gave me toys as a present! Aww that was just so nice from them. I just can say that they are so awesome and as you can see I got a super mini-uno! Yay! lol :)

 Yeah, this is Hermana Waite and Hermana Busch, they are both so beautiful and nice! I love them! And Yep! They gave me the toys! How cute! :)
I love this picture! Look at my face! Well this present was from Elder Batschi and Elder Bañuelos, they gave me a neckless!
If you get this image closer, you'll see the neckless, it was a heart but can't be open. I really liked it!

Aaannnddd...there you have Elder Bañuelos and Elder Batschi! (Elder Bañuelos is hilarious!) We all like him a lot!

This journal was from Hermana Ramirez and Hermana Kisor! I love them too! They are so nice and Hermana Ramirez is so funny! aww I love her!

Here you have them. Hermana Kisor and Ramirez! Awesome people!! :)

This present is from Elder Torres and Elder Ely. I always say that Elder Torres is my brother because we have the same last name "torres". Ok i know, kind of confusing because I am chavez but remember that I have a long name: Karla Selene Torres Chavez. Anyways, they gave me a perfume and a body shower, I liked it but I laughed because I was like: Are you telling me I have to take a shower hahaha jk I loved it!

But for some reason I didn't take a picture of Elder Ely and Elder Torres and guess what? I just noticed that! that sucks!! Well they are so awesome too!! :)

Hermana Diaz (A member of my ward) gave me granola because she knows that I love it! and yeah i love Granola a LOT! :) By the way, I don't think I've ever said how amazing Hermana Irene Diaz is, she is so humble and she is always helping others, I just love her!

This is Hermana Vasquez and all of her family, especially Keny! He is the cutest! 
Such a good family! And Keny?......Sleeping lol :)

Another favorite picture with Elder Batschi and Elder Potter! haha I remember when I bearly met Elder Batschi and if he said something to tease me and I didn't like I would threaten him with a fork or my cellphone haha so weird but very funny!

isn't this cute?? I loved it. My mom said that the Sister Missionaries made it for me, I just never found out who of the missionaries.
Good bye everyone!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
