manners

i wish more people would be polite and courteous to one another. there are a few people that i interact with on a daily basis that are rude and ugly to people. it bugs the crap out of me when someone can't say "please" or "thank you" all they care about is what's going on in their bubble. so if someone gets the door for you or lets you go ahead in traffic say "thank you" you never know what kind of impact you can make on someone. say please to a barista at Starbucks or a server at restaurant when ordering. let's be a little nicer to each other.

slacker

so i've been a slacker, i haven't been blogging in quite sometime. work was really busy then it got really wet. so i've been out trying to get work on my own while the weather is bad. i've also been spending a lot of time with andie and joy, which has been really good. i'll try to blog as much as a i can. i twitter like crazy so you can follow me at twitter.com/isaacabad

catch you on the flip side.

crazy weather

today andie and i are flying solo at home while joy is at a conference. so far it's been a good morning. she ate her breakfast and we played, then she went down for a nap. when she gets up i'm hoping the rest of the day goes well too. she is such a great kid, i couldn't have asked for a better daughter. while she was eating this morning it started snowing and she was just mesmerized by the snow(she started smiling and laughing at the snow) she still can't crawl but she'd rather start running, not walking but running. i have a had time keeping up with her because my back starts to hurt from being hunched over. when i hear her laugh all that pain goes away (well most of it)

"In God We Trust"

where is your trust? do you trust Gods word? do you trust that your needs are met according to Gods promises. what will you do? be selfish and eat 100% of Gods money or give him 10% and see what he'll do with it. show God you trust him and put him first in your finances. he'll bless you x 10 or x100 for honoring him with your money and trust.

it's time!

todays the big day! i'm having my wisdom teeth taken out and i kinda nervous. a million things racing through my mind, how will it go? how long will it take? is it going to hurt afterwards? etc. everyone tells me different story about their experiences, so i'm not sure what to expect. well i hope to get back to you and tell you my story.

people who drive me crazy

there are few kinds of people who drive nuts. people who don't do what they are suppose to do. the other people who talk trash at work all day. i wish that people would have a better work ethic.

family again!

the weekend is finally here and i'm so tiered. i love saturday mornings because i get to sleep in (8am :/) and lounge in my pj's for a while. i love my weekends because i get to spend time with my family and friends(family of course is the best) this morning andie was in bed with us and she was tugging on my clothes and face to wake up, but papa wasn't ready to get up. when i did wake up she came back to bed with joy and we played together. i will always treasure these moments with her and joy. all i can say is i love my life! 

Family

I love my family! I am so blessed to have such a loving wife. A daughter who is everything I could want in a daughter. Thank you God for making this all possible.

carpe diem

seize the day people! take a moment and enjoy what you have. look around and be grateful for what you have and give thanks.

belated post

wow it's been a while since i've posted, sorry about that peep's. i've been busy with work and i've been trying to get my biz up and going. that way i can maybe go down to one job and a normal work schedule. maybe i can have obama for a bail-out or even better a job at the white house. jk i want to get things going on the side so that one day i can be self employed. 

my friend chris called me and invited us to go up to whistler, b.c. canada of week to snowboard. the trip is not planned till may, but i'm thinking it's not going to happen. i wish we could go to get a away and spend time with chris and nat. i haven't snowboarded in about 3 years, so i'm hurting to snowboard. i want to start putting money aside for a trip up to portland (want to live there) 

post vacation thoughts

while joy, andie and i were on our way to the airport to catch our flight home i got very sad. i didn't want to leave the 80 degree weather, sun and beach. i wanted to stay another week, but that didn't happen. it was a great trip i would love to do it again with friends and family. cancun was better to us this time around. watching andie play on the beach was one of my favorite things. she wasn't big on the whole ocean thing. (the waves scared her) i can't wait till she's a little older that will make traveling a little easier and lighter hopefully. i highly recommend getting away to the beach during the winter here in the u.s.

new president

Our new president is honest obama.... yea right! He's making himself out as an honest and transparent president. While he's appointing a treasure secretary who did not pay 34,000 in taxes. This is the guy who is going to be in charge of our bailout. Really this is the smartest thing to do right now. We're closing down Guantanamo Bay, and we're bringing all the terrorists to America. We'll give them American rights so they can get out of their charges. Man this administration is on a roll. We'll be out of debt in no time and safer than when President Bush was in office. I'm tired of the liberal crap, can we fast forward 4 years? 

cancun trip

i've been thinking about the trip to cancun and i'm ready to pack my bags and get out of here.  i'm so ready to hit the beach, get a tan and not worry about work. it's been 3 years since we were in cancun, hopefully this time we won't need to sleep on the floor. this time we've got andie and a little more family. the last thing i need is sleeping on the floor with the in-laws and a 8 month old. joy, andie and beach thats all i need on my vacation.  

freezing

where's the snow! i'm loving the cold, but i'd like some snow with the freezing cold. everyone this year has had a ton of snow except us. what's up with that? just a little please 6 to 8 inches. i've missed the snow this winter and it would be nice to make snow angles with andie. 

My day off

I had the day off and I spent the day cleaning and picking up the house. Oh did I mention we were cooking dinner for the family. What kind? A thanksgiving dinner. I spent 3 hours basting the freaking turkey! Why does it take so freakin long to cook. It turned out great, thanks to joy.

feeling good

things that make me feel good;

1. reading my bible
2. family/friends
3. eating right (healthier and less)
4. working out (i.e. yoga & running)
5. laughing
   
6. reading

these are just a few things that bring me joy and make me feel good. one thing that makes me really happy is just staring at andie facial expressions. she makes me laugh more than myself. i love it when we'll be in bed talking and just as we're falling asleep one of us will say something really random & dumb. that always wakes us up laughing. my advise laugh and laugh some more because its good for you and you burn calories for you calorie counting freaks

New remote

I got my new universal remote today and it is amazing. I can control everything with just one remote instead of 4. When I upgrade to apple tv I'll be able to control that too. It can also control motorized shades and a ton more. I would highly recommend getting one. It makes watching movies and tv so much better.

happy new years

here we are in the new year 2009, and 2008 is out of here, so happy new year! 08 had a lot of changes i.e. working at UPS part-time in the middle of the night,trying to be a new dad which was the biggest one and balancing my time with joy, andie and family/friends. i'm looking foward to 09 for big changes in our lives. new jobs, goals and andie learning to walk. we know that the best is yet to come.
