About

I am 27 years old and from Southern California born and raised.Although I feel as though I should be living in a town full of green grass and trees with a house on tons of land with rolling green hills. I grew up in the suburbs but just recently moved a few minutes out of it to the "Country".

I was baptized Catholic but grew up protestant. I converted to Catholicism in 2009 and have been continually blessed by my faith ever since. It is an amazing feeling to constantly discover more and more ways to fall in love with Jesus. My constant conversion to Christ is an indescribable feeling that deepens my heart every time. I am very much in love with my faith and love learning all I can about it so feel free to email me about all things Catholic. :) 

Three things in my life took a very large toll on my life that made me who I am today. 

1. My Dad was suddenly killed in a car crash when I was 18 years old. For the last year or so before that I had fallen into some stupidity and did everything stupid. Lets just leave it at that because I will never be proud of those moments and choices I made. After my Dad died, I fell into a little bit of a depression and really didn't want to live and didn't really care about life at all. Then...

2. I got pregnant. No, not planned. Yes, I was using contraceptives because at that time it was the "smart" thing to do. No, they did not work. Yes, it was God's plan. My beautiful daughter was born and It changed my life forever. I had someone to live for.. and the amount of love I felt for her healed me. Her Dad and I didn't work out but she is now blessed to have two Dads. 

3. I met my Husband, he took me to Church and I was hooked ever since. To my husband too. Becoming Catholic was literally being able to see after being blind 24 years. I had never felt the true Love of Jesus Christ until then. And really learning what Christ's love is. 

Of Course my Husband all my Children make me who also but those moments have outlined me.

I am a wife to an amazing, humble, patient, and funny Man. He is the type of man that is a very rare species these days. He has morals and lives by them. He drives me crazy but can make me laugh two seconds later. He is genuinely a good hearted man who looks great in a suit...and is hard to not be liked..by anyone. He loves me and lets me know in his actions. He loves his kids...all three of them..and will come home straight from work, changes and turns our living room into Treasure Island or a Transformer movie and suddenly the kids are all in character, laughing away. Its a beautiful thing. He can smile and I melt...every time. 

He is my knight in shinning armor... or a suit

We started dating right when I turned 21 and my daughter was 1 1/2. We got married on July 19, 2008 and said our sacred vows in Saint Kateri Church. Till death do us part baby.. Tell death do us part! ;)

I am a Mom to 3 beautiful children. I call them the pieces of my heart. My vocation as a Mother is such an indescribable blessing. My children are not called their real names on here just to give them a little bit of privacy but here they are:

Vivi aka Viviana, Viv, Vivi love is 8 years old.  This beautiful Angel of mine was sent straight from heaven to give the world a whole lotta love and compassion. She has an enormous heart that never ceases to Love no matter who you are. You can catch her reading a book, praying about all the poor children without food and Mommies, or playing with her brothers. 

Little Optimus Prime is 3 1/2 years old going on 7. He is a ball full of laughter, energy and silliness. This is what a child should be. He loves his baby brother and his big sissy and loves playing with his toys. He loves his toys like Andy from Toy Story and acting out movies and adventures with his toys is his favorite thing to do. 

My baby boy.. Aww how I swoon over this beautiful picture. Bear is 6 months old and is such a joyous addition to our family. His siblings adore him and the feeling is mutual. His favorites include... All things Mommy, his many Giraffes including his favorite stuffed giraffe whom we call Maximus Bonaventure,  food of all sorts, and his thumb.  

I love books, coffee....books..and coffee...Oh yeah, and Books. My blog is full of grammatical errors, misspelling, and can be confusing at times. But it is my mind just speaking out. And tons of pictures of the pieces of my heart. 

My Inspiration:

 Give yourself fully to God. He will use you to accomplish great things on the condition that you believe much more in His love than in your own weakness.
~Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

It is a poverty that A Child Must Die so that you may live as you wish.
~Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

I pray that you will understand the words of Jesus, “Love one another as I have loved you.” Ask yourself “How has he loved me? Do I really love others in the same way?” Unless this love is among us, we can kill ourselves with work and it will only be work, not love. Work without love is slavery.
~Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

A sacrifice to be real must cost, must hurt, must empty ourselves. The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service, the fruit of service is peace.
~Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta
