My Virtual Penguin

I have always wanted to go and see a real penguin - well, I will settle for this for now. Meet Penguino (penguin in spanish), he is my new baby.

adopt your own virtual pet!

I hope you are very nice to Penguino - he is my newest pet. I think I will "adopt" a new virtual pet. Can't have too many pets, well, at least when you don't have to feed them or take them to the bathroom. :)

Mountain Fork River Pictures

Beaver's Bend National Park: Here you go with a picture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the view from Look-Out point. It is a little over a mile hike up there, but not difficult. It's just so pretty up there and this picture doesn't do it justice. It'll at least give a gimplse as to what I got to experience first hand.

Christmas Events

Wow, where did the weekend go??????!!!!!!!!!!

Let's see, I have been very busy the last few days, but I think it has slowed down for a few days. Okay, to start off: Saturday night - family with the Johnson's. For the most part, everyone was there except my brother and his family. We also went and looked at this house that has lights that are going to a song on a radio station (very cool) www.friscochristmas.com I think that is the site. Sunday morning - went to church at Friendship Baptist Church. Was a good service and got to meet some new people. I enjoy meeting new people. :) Sunday lunch time - Les and I went over to his families house for Christmas lunch. We had a good time there too. Sunday night we had 1 more Christmas over at my mom's side of the family. That was eventful too. Monday morning, Les picked me up at 4:15 and we drove to the deer lease (my first time hunting). We got to the lease and to the deer stand at about 7 am, then we sat up there till about 9 am. After that, we went to Broken Bow, OK to Beavers Bend National Park. We hiked to Look-out point and it was soooo pretty up there. You could see the water below(I will post a picture in a little while). We wandered around the nature center for a little while, went to the musuem, which was cool. After that, we went and got wood, then back to the deer lease for the night hunt. That was from about4:15-6 pm or so. We didn't shoot anything, but it was really cool watching/listening to the squirrels that morning. At night, I enjoyed watching the Red Birds fly around and eat corn. It was very relaxing and peaceful. I would dose off on occasion. You can't beat being out in the middle of nature and not feel close to God. It was very cool!!!! Today (Tues.) I went back to work.

Next event - New Year's Eve. YEAH! I can't believe where this year has been. Once the New Year has arrived, I will write a blog on what I have been through in 2005.

Well, that is sort of a step by step blog of my events this past weekend.

I hope everyone had a great Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas

Hello To All,

I wanted to write a quick post on my blog telling everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. I have already started thinking about my new year resolutions.........have you???

My goal is to really keep my resolution - of course, it is always hard to do, but hopefully I'll be more successful. Don't worry, I'll write what they are after the New Year.

Well, everyone have a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remember, Jesus is the Reason for the Season! Without his birth, we would be no where, but aimlessly wondering around the Earth with no purpose.

I love having a purpose - that purpose is to share the Love of Christ with those around me & to bring others to know Jesus too. Do you have a relationship with Jesus?? If you have questions, please feel free to leave me a message and we can talk. I am always up for discussion - that's for sure.

Peace out!!!

Enjoy the Pictures of San Antonio

I saw this bird and just had to take a picture of him. He is a 1-legged bird that was just chilling on the River Walk. He found him a home and that's where he lives. He was pretty cute. I thought he was fake at first, but then he moved a little bit. I was like," wow!."

Here is Casa Rio, a popular restaurant on the River Walk. Pretty good food too! This time we ate in El Mercado (the market). The restaurant we ate at was La Margarita. Oh was that ever so tasty! We shared the Fiesta Platter - big variety of different types of Mexican Food. YUMMY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is me and the Christmas Tree. I just love the Christmas season. It is a time for families to come together and just really get to be with one another. It's a nice time to stay inside, play games, talk, etc. I always feel so warm among the cold weather. The warmth comes from being with my family and making memories. Also that fact that Jesus was born and 33 yrs. later, died for our sins. Where would be without Him dying for us?? That is something to think about, where would I be had I never seen the Light and accepted the gift of eternal life?

I would hate to see who I am without Christ. I am not perfect now, that's for sure. Those who know me will say the same, but at the same time, I am differnet because of my relationship with Jesus Christ, my Savior. Thank you God for sending Your precious, loving Son for dying on the cross for me so that my sins may be washed away!!!!!!

San Antonio

Here is a picture of my mom and I on the River Walk. It was really pretty with all the lights, but they just didn't come out as good as I had hoped for. Oh well, I have a memory in my head. We had a lot of fun wondering around downtown.

Here is a ceiling full of antlers. Les - I took this picture for you. :) There were so many, but I couldn't get that many in the pic. I wanted to make sure tha I could at least see what the picture was. It was really cool. On either side of the building, they had big ole heads of different animals. They weren't real/stuffed, but like a paper mache, but it still looked real! They were huge!!!

Here is Christmas Tree that was in front of the Alamo - I am in the pic. too, but can't see me very well at all. I finally figured out the flash thing. :)

Here is the Alamo - it stands so proud to me.

Waiting on God part2

Well, I am doing much better today. Those who wrote me on my e-mail, I appreciate it. I have talked and prayed with my mom...........and I think I am on the right path.

Thank you! That's all for now. I am going to post some pictures of San Antonio adventures. My mom and I have had a blast, but I'll save more for when I put pic. on.

Let's go........later

wintery mix

The wintery mix is finally arriving in good ole Texas. It's about time - we have had some CRAZY temps. this year. Our temps. have been fluxuating from 85 to 35 in 1 day. What is up with that.

Anyways, this post is not on a serious note - but on a FUN note. :)

IT IS SNOWING OUTSIDE!!!!!!! Of course, I sit by a big window and get to enjoy it, but it's cold with the large windows. The snow has actually tapered off from what it was doing earlier, so, not so much now. But it was pretty about 30 minutes ago. I saw some really BIG flakes of snow.

SOOOOO PRETTY! Too bad we can't go out and enjoy it, there's just not enough to make any difference yet. Hopefully by morning it will have accumulated to play in it.

It just has to clear up b/c I am going to San Antonio on Thurs after work with my mom for my friend's wedding. YEAH. Congrats Norma!!!

Well, I am going to get back to work........Kimberly

Waiting for God

This is going to be a serious post - for once. :)

I have been praying for guidance right now. I am waiting for God to direct me and my paths the way He wants. I don't know if this burden is from the Holy Spirit or Satan trying to trick my mind. Gosh - that's hard. I know that I will figure it out, but it takes prayer, meditation, and wise counsel. Takes patience as well - which is something that I don't always have an abudance of.

My request to those who read this (and never leave comments), please pray for guidance in my life right now and that I will know what is from God and what isn't. Thanks.

Help Keep Christ in Christmas with me!

Hello!!!

I just signed a national petition urging Target to bring back the Salvation Army bell ringers, and I would like for you to join me by clicking below:

http://www.cfra.info/243/petition.asp?PID=10196446&NID=1

Last year, you may have noticed that the bell ringers were
absent from Target. That's because the giant retailer banned
the Salvation Army from gathering money that would bring
hope to those in need during the holiday season.

Despite public outcry, Target has decided to continue the ban.

The Center for Reclaiming America for Christ is gathering
200,000 citizen petitions and will deliver them to Target
headquarters as a massive show of grassroots support for
bringing back the bell ringers!

You can help make a difference by clicking here and taking
action with me:

http://www.cfra.info/243/petition.asp?PID=10196446&NID=1

Thanks so much for helping to keep the true spirit of
Christmas alive in our nation!

Shopping

Call me crazy, but it's not more of a tradition! Every year we get up early and go shopping the day after Thanksgiving. This year we didn't get up till 6:30 AM, so, that's great! There were a few deals, but nothing worth being at Best Buy at like 3:30 (doors opened at 5 AM). YEAH RIGHT!!!!

Let's see, we started off going to Target, then to Best Buy (which was really calm), Michaels, Petsmart, and Office Depot. After that was breakfast at IHOP. That is my favorite part of the whole day!! I just love going there to eat.

Other than that, that is the extent of the shopping..........oh wait, no it's not. We also went to the Thrift Store in McKinney. I like going to the McKinney one, but not so much the Plano one. I don't know why, but it's just different to me. I know, I'm weird.... :)

That's definitely all the shopping I did! Now tomorrow I am sure will be a different story. My brother is in town and he LOVES to shop - so, we'll be going tomorrow too. It will be a long day I'm sure of that. I get tired of shopping after a little while and he has a whole list of places he wants to go to.

Well, I am going to bed so that I can be prepared for tomorrow. I won't sleep real well b/c my nephew is sleeping with me while they are here. He is 4 1/2 yrs. old and cute as a button. But I'm not used to sleeping with someone and he snuggles with me all night. I sleep lighter with him with me b/c I am aware of every little move he makes. After he's been with me for a few days, I get used to him and sleep better. Or am I just exhausted from not sleeping all night long??!! haha. I wouldn't change it though, he lives in MD and I don't see him that much, so, I would rather catch up on sleep later than not have him at all. Anyone who has family far away understands that last comment!!!!!

I'm hitting the hay.......goodnight all!!!

Puzzle Time

Put this puzzle together and see what you think!!! It really is fun!!!!

Let me know what you think of the picture.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Hello to Everyone who reads this and never writes anything :). J/K, I'm in a sassy mood right now.

Anyways, I want to wish you a HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!

Be safe while traveling and enjoy those you love. What are you thankful for this year? Stop and ponder on this for a moment and tell God thank you for how he has blessed your life. I am sure there are many right now that aren't feeling so blessed because a loved one is sick, a loved one has died, you are sick, family is far away, and many other reasons, but stop and look around at the creation that God has blessed us with.

I look outside right now and the sky is a gorgeous blue and the sun is smiling down on us. I see a few hawks soaring the sky looking for food. What a beautiful day God has blessed us with today.

Thank you God for all you do for me and my family/friends!

Sam

Well, this is Sam. He died at the ripe age of 14. The last 3 yrs. he has been the winner of the Ugliest Dog in the World. I can definitely see why, but I still think he is cute in his own way. I have had the privelege of being around a Chinese Crested dog before. They are really sweet, but they feel so strange. The one I was around was black and his name was Peppy. He was so cute. He did have to have lotion put on his skin daily. He also wore sun screen, etc. He definitely lived up to his name, he was Peppy!! I would play with him and he would go crazy! He was precious.

Sam this is to you...........RIP, I'm sure you were a very loving dog and I know I would have loved you too. Of course, animals have an extra big spot in my heart!!! Those who know me well know this is very true.

Time Capsule

This is really cool. You can send yourself or someone else a message in 1, 3, 5, 10 yrs. from now. I went in and sent myself one for a year from today. I can't wait to see what my life is like in a year and re-read that e-mail to see what has changed.

Enjoy! http://forbes.codefix.net/capsule/

~Kimberly

I am getting ready to cut the cake..........SMILE!!!

The cake was awesome, it was carrot cake, one of my favorites! I don't like real sweet icing and this was a cream cheese type icing........YUMMY!!!

I'll post more pictures later. I have a picture of Kodiak & I that I want to put on here. I am thinking of using it for our Christmas card photo. I started that tradition last year. I put our pic. on cards and sent them out. They were SOO cute! Well, I need to get checking on that come to think of it.........hmmmm. I wonder when I'll have time to do that after work??

Well, that's all for now. Going to bed!

Keys to MY Heart

The Keys to Your Heart

You are attracted to those who are unbridled, untrammeled, and free. In love, you feel the most alive when your lover is creative and never lets you feel bored. You'd like to your lover to think you are loyal and faithful... that you'll never change. You would be forced to break up with someone who was ruthless, cold-blooded, and sarcastic. Your ideal relationship is open. Both of you can talk about everything... no secrets. Your risk of cheating is zero. You care about society and morality. You would never break a commitment. You think of marriage as something that will confine you. You are afraid of marriage. In this moment, you think of love as something you thirst for. You'll do anything for love, but you won't fall for it easily.
