Spring Fever

I am so glad that Easter was such a nice day!  The spring fever has definitely set it for me.  Easter sunday was really nice.  The Melendez clan got together and we took Easter pictures and watched movies.  The little girls, Sirlei and Danali, looked so cute in there little Easter dresses.  They are both getting so big!  I am so thankful to have such a wonderful family.  I wish I had more interesting stories, but I am just to boring these days.  I hope to be more on top of my blog when I get my own place.

Glenn Beck

Glenn Beck is Awesome!! I really like talk radio and listen to Rush Limbaugh a lot. However this past year I have been listening more and more to Glenn Beck. He is not just an entertainer, he has some great insights to what is going on in this country. I like the point of view he holds and find myself agreeing with him all of the time. I think with the turn of this nation has taken, which has been in the works longer then just these past couple of months, things can look somewhat scary for what is in our future and more importantly the future of our children. It is not good enough to listen to the media and there biased opinions and the knowledge that they pretend to have. I am so tired of being lied too and mostly that I am expected to believe these lies! It is very insulting to me as an American. This country is great and I want it to stay that way, I am sick of the Democrats and the Repbulicans. It is time to go back to the fundementals this nation was founded on, the vision our forefathers had. They understood the price of freedom and we are a privledged generation, we do not ever want for anything or see the suffering, we watch war on the tv but never feel the full effects of war. We need to support our troops and there families. We need to stop punishing people that are successful and ambitious. This is a nation of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Your happiness it determined on how hard your pursuit is, no one is guaranteed the same happiness. Glenn Beck is on the Radio 570am at 4pm to 7pm. He also has a show on the fox news channel, I am not sure of the time because I am not home to watch it but he has a lot of information on his website. glennbeck.com

Hano and I are now down to one car, we sold our yellow Xterra. Although I am glad to be saving some money I am sad to not see it in the driveway anymore. That car took us to and from Florida and never gave us any problems! It was such a great car and Hano and I were able to share a great adventure in it. I honestly could not believe how quickly it sold. We had it posted for one month! With the economy the way it is I thought we would never sell it for the price we needed, but we have been very blessed! We will miss the Yellow Xterra and I hope that the new owner takes good care of it!

Valentines or Birthday

For those of you that don't know my hubby's birthday happens to be February 14th! Luckily for him I could really care less about Valentine's Day so we celebrate the birth of my wonderful husband!! I suprised Hano by taking him to the Little America hotel but lucked out and was upgraded to the Grand America!! It was so awesome we were able to stay on the eleventh floor, the view was awesome! We went and saw the movie Taken, I would recommend renting rather then spending the money to see it, then we were going to eat at the Happy Sumo but the wait was soooooooooo long so we ate at Sizzler instead, ha ha ha. Hano really likes Sizzler, Jodi and Mauricio if you are reading this I am sure you are laughing since a couple weekends ago that is all he talked about!!! All in all we had a really good day and I love the time we spend together! I am thankful everyday that he is my husband. He is always making me laugh and makes life a lot easier. He helps through everything and I am so glad for his strong personality. I have learned a lot from him. I will start posting pictures again, but I am with my inlaws right now and I dont want to put my pics on there computer so until we find our own place it will just be posts with words.

Back in Utah

Well we are back in Utah once again and even though it is nice to see family I am still missing my Florida life. Things have been a little hectic, Hano is back in school and I am desperately seeking a job. I had two interviews today and another one tomorrow so hopefully I will have a job soon. We are also living with my in-laws right now, and even though they are so welcoming and make everything very comfortable I am ready for my own space again. I still have not gone to see my parents yet and I am looking forward to when I finally get to see them. It has been a long while since are last encounter. That is about all the excitement for now, hopefully the next time I post I will have a job and an apartment, HA!

New Years Eve

WOW!!  We had such a fun New Years Eve.  Now a lot of the people we hung out with I didn't really know but apparently they are a pretty big deal in Brazil.  Some of the people were Xuxa, Amaury Junior, Zeze Di Camargo e Luciano, Zeca Pagodinho, the girl who inspired the song "Girl from Impenema" and her family.  We were able to attend the VIP party at EPCOT with all of them and enjoy a midnight firework show that was absolutely amazing.  I don't know how we are going to top all of the fun we have had over the holidays this year but I am excited to try!!   Here are a few pictures of the party.  Most of them are with close friends we have here but we there a couple with the Brazilian stars :)

Christmas with Snells

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 So many things to tell and I am certainly not patient enough to write it all down so you will have to appreciate my synopsis.  Well are friends Adam and Fabione Snell came here with there cute baby boy Carter.  We did all the parks at Disney World and also went to Universal Studios.  Now I suggest to spend at least one Christmas at Disney, I know it is a lot of money and lots of people, but there is nothing like it.  They make everything so magical!  We went to Universal on Friday but went to the Island of Adventures park.  What a blast we had there.  The rollercoasters are so much fun, the Dueling Dragons, the Hulk, Jurassic Park and on and on!  Christmas Eve we had some friends from work and are ward over for dinner.  We sat and told stories, ate lots of food and just had a wonderful time.  It was also nice having Carter around for the holiday, he was such a blast.  I hope my babies are as good as him.  Hano and I were able to babysit him on Saturday while Adam and Fabione went on a date, he is such a cutie.  Anyway I will just post lots of pics because they will tell all!!
