I am so glad to know and testify that I am a daughter of God. He loves me and knows my heart. I'm grateful to know that Christ is my Savior and Redeemer, that when I am weak and disheartened he is there to carry me and give me strength to carry on. I know the Holy Ghost is with me always to help me discern good from evil. I know the scriptures are true and as I read them and apply it to my own life it brings about joy and true understanding of my purpose here on Earth. The power of prayer is real. God hears me and answers my prayers. With Faith, Miracles happen.

Married life is the best! I love my husband so much and our journey so far has been wonderful. This past February we got the keys to our very first house :) even though it been a couple months we are still settling in :) I look forward to all the events we will hold in our home.

I have so much fun with Greg when we go out together. It helps that we have a lot in common with our interests. But last night I did something out of character for me because I love my husband and wanted him to be happy. Last night at the Naia Kete concert there were quite a few "The Voice" contestants there, supporting her. Gregory's favorite artist of season 2 was there. He actually wanted to go up and meet the artist. Now I never go up to celebrities for autographs or photos, not because I'm a snob, more because I'm really shy and I wouldn't want to bother them. Greg is the same way, but was very conflicted because he really wanted to meet one of the artist. I could see how much my husband really wanted this meeting. So I see "the group" move towards the exit, I tell my honey to follow me and I cut through the crowd so they walk into us. That is when Greg does his intro and I like a dork say hello and gush about how awesome of singers they all are. Which is true! But I'm sure they hear it all the time. They were all gracious and genuinely nice to us. I'm definitely a fan of them all. When we left Greg was so happy we went for a drive and ended up at Diddy Riese for dessert! Yay for me! Followed by catching a movie at the Westwood Theater which is beautiful and reminds me of the theater in Catalina. Last night was definitely a great date night.<div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwALk1ggdW2S8XmxTTQsxyAM-4plwVkcAKm2GQC5XYEkn0EwADUXStwXfJBR2XXckkkVnQd5Tzzmq74lBq1Mfsaca1zfndktAU581BJBlIwd28w0HZxl-MeETlYzm_J-plZNa0hyphenhyphenY/s640/blogger-image--1256158165.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTwALk1ggdW2S8XmxTTQsxyAM-4plwVkcAKm2GQC5XYEkn0EwADUXStwXfJBR2XXckkkVnQd5Tzzmq74lBq1Mfsaca1zfndktAU581BJBlIwd28w0HZxl-MeETlYzm_J-plZNa0hyphenhyphenY/s640/blogger-image--1256158165.jpg" /></a></div>***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-38943045473174520312012-04-12T14:13:00.002-07:002012-04-12T14:25:48.799-07:00Flourishing<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator">So my Best Friend of four years, Greg Dowden, </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator"><a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfLpn3Wu03TGvEQvL7OtKEEeHozI7n2PiYLCqo8ecj7mRdqnTEXjg8OS1u5lyvYm__LF7JZUsek1C3cqpGwcZhcw1Elt-SkgkpW5mwmzJCYVeM7zgHhRpB9CBq90Sd4LHF0jzdMM0/s640/blogger-image--463922489.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img style="WIDTH: 126px; HEIGHT: 164px" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQfLpn3Wu03TGvEQvL7OtKEEeHozI7n2PiYLCqo8ecj7mRdqnTEXjg8OS1u5lyvYm__LF7JZUsek1C3cqpGwcZhcw1Elt-SkgkpW5mwmzJCYVeM7zgHhRpB9CBq90Sd4LHF0jzdMM0/s640/blogger-image--463922489.jpg" width="213" height="305" /></a></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator">officially became my Boyfriend on October 9, 2011.</div><br /><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator" align="center"><a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgraLoBBmzACOOe4HkG6yskSi_N-6Aww72q2NyO055xEMKrtoh5Dl-oouLGbC0NMEGONUIFlRnI9_NrUtPDRt9AXJoEhO-NCSWKYA1bXSDlW694Qsf1x2UKB5SFiCCoAhYBjXMksvI1/s640/blogger-image--420739192.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img style="WIDTH: 130px; HEIGHT: 159px" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgraLoBBmzACOOe4HkG6yskSi_N-6Aww72q2NyO055xEMKrtoh5Dl-oouLGbC0NMEGONUIFlRnI9_NrUtPDRt9AXJoEhO-NCSWKYA1bXSDlW694Qsf1x2UKB5SFiCCoAhYBjXMksvI1/s640/blogger-image--420739192.jpg" width="175" height="368" /></a></p><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator">November 19, 2011 he asked me to marry him, making him my Fiancé. </div><br /><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator" align="center"><img style="WIDTH: 119px; HEIGHT: 164px" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6rIZlo5-FQdgn7LVQDH4SSedDpa8-KTlarpER1X5XtDaM5pzRi3hm4QgUs6eaG0jajWIbtf4pkOSriR0OLbIkCXyoiQjsUXQUEu7bk1Za6DS6rbOsxug-rj_a0KiN5RXcycJxDzER/s640/blogger-image-185076583.jpg" width="163" height="411" /></p><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator">And on March 24, 2012 in front of our close family and friends we were married.</div><br /><p style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator" align="center"><a style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1em; MARGIN-RIGHT: 1em" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxz-5Yt-OTVRgmgwtx-z8fiaoZxl1Cei7u7axAELBcEqB8duP0dhPdaroGzt-_UbdsOotXgryVR3ng1LgQeDt-P1JI-XSwuj6o_UDCUH51vwXzT7zBfWsz68QYD_RvL_EeHcohyphenhyphena7/s640/blogger-image--1389214084.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img style="WIDTH: 215px; HEIGHT: 270px" border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlxz-5Yt-OTVRgmgwtx-z8fiaoZxl1Cei7u7axAELBcEqB8duP0dhPdaroGzt-_UbdsOotXgryVR3ng1LgQeDt-P1JI-XSwuj6o_UDCUH51vwXzT7zBfWsz68QYD_RvL_EeHcohyphenhyphena7/s640/blogger-image--1389214084.jpg" width="352" height="385" /></a></p><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator">For me, best part of marrying my best friend is that he's taken the time to know the real Ana and all my imperfections and yet still wanted to be with me. </div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator"></div><br /><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; CLEAR: both" class="separator">Now that's what I call Love. </div>***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-15595706786797660112011-09-12T22:56:00.001-07:002011-09-12T22:56:49.890-07:00InstagramMy favorite app at this moment is Instagram.

I've learned that tarragon is the king of spices and that spices definitely enhance a dish, when used correctly. Both dishes were a hit with the family. I find cooking and following a recipe to be very fulfilling and even relaxing! :) <br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-62587540741755418792011-03-31T08:55:00.001-07:002011-03-31T08:55:29.735-07:00Countdown to 30No countdown would be complete without a challenge. So my personal challenge for 30 days is to cook a new vegetarian/vegan dish and blog about it. Why? Why not? :)<br /><br />Yesterday was the beginning of my 30 days to 30 and I made the following:<br /><br />Dinner:<br />Crispy Chickpea Patties<br />Moroccan Couscous Salad<br />Broccoli<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/03/31/964.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/03/31/s_964.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Dessert:<br />Peach Crumble<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/03/31/965.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/03/31/s_965.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/03/31/966.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/03/31/s_966.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />All my recipes were found in this months latest PETA magazine. The food was very tasty. The recipes call for a lot of different spices and seasoning which really makes the meal filling. I used spices I've never heard of. While shopping for ingredients I had to google what I was looking for. Thank goodness for my awesome iPhone! Overall the meal was a success and now I must look for my next recipe.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/show_photo.php?p=11/03/31/967.jpg'><img src='http://photo.blogpressapp.com/photos/11/03/31/s_967.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='210' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Home&z=10'>Home</a></p>***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-53917128274121254342010-12-26T21:50:00.001-08:002010-12-31T07:46:56.882-08:00All You Can JetFirst Stop<br />Utah<br />Spent time with my besty Ui in Saratoga Springs.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/12/26/3797.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/12/26/s_3797.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Remember locking ourselves out of the house so we could have better lighting for our pic?

Playing? I define as taking time for myself to enjoy what I supposedly work so hard for. I'm a lot more simple than I thought. Enjoying the company of good friends, conversation, and taking in the beauty of the ocean. I'm also learning better ways to take care of my health, physically and spiritually. I finally found what Ive yearned for, for such a long time. Me, just me. I love myself for the beautiful Goddess I am today and not stuck on the idea of striving towards becoming that Divine being in the afterlife. I feel stronger than ever before and I'm ready to be. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/08/19/228.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/08/19/s_228.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-29100308433092232602010-08-03T09:41:00.001-07:002010-08-03T09:41:20.533-07:00HappyFinally moved out and in my new place. Life is no longer gray and daunting because I've had my Aha! moment and I know what I'm to do. My life is a retreat and so each day I live my retreat I'm blessed with a calmness to my spirit and a reassurance of what I'm doing is right for me.<br /><br />Yesterday was a beautiful day I spent outside communing with Mother Nature. Went with my Moon sistas to coffee scrub at Lovers Cove. Always an invigorating experience! <br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/08/03/996.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/08/03/s_996.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Sunday I went kayaking with Jacque to Frog point. It was so much fun being on the water and talking about life. I picked up some rocks with plant fossil imprints which I brought home to put out as a decoration piece. Sea glass is so cool too, I've started to collect.<br /><br />There's so much beauty on this island and that makes me so happy to be a part of it all. I'm glad I moved out of my old place. I'm feeling a lot lighter in my mood. <br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-90312175986363105932010-07-28T18:43:00.001-07:002010-07-28T18:43:57.719-07:00321...ohmm!Done with my sadness.

I'm finding it hard to pack. I've come across old love letters and Nikki's clothes. Why do I hold onto this stuff? Ealier I burned my roughdrafts of a Valentines poem I'd written for her. But when it comes that which she's given me, I can't do it. Instead I reread and have my pity party of tears thinking about where I went wrong, what could I've done to make us work. And it probably doesn't help that I'm listening to Rest in Pieces by Saliva.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/28/2072.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/28/s_2072.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /> <br />I feel dead inside my heart. <br /><br /><br /><p align='center'><object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="http://www.youtube.com/v/TPEaSkjSaQY" width="400" height="300"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/TPEaSkjSaQY" /><param name="quality" value="high" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><!-- Fallback content --><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPEaSkjSaQY"><img src="http://img.youtube.com/vi/TPEaSkjSaQY/0.jpg" width="400" height="300" />YouTube Video</a></object></p>- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-19926634420053185742010-07-19T21:39:00.001-07:002010-07-19T21:39:58.165-07:00My ProgramI use to dream and plan my wedding all the time. But I've come to realize after every break up I had to change it cause of course I'd cater the wedding to the likes of my partner and I. So knowing better now I've decided to plan something that never has to change. My funeral program. No it's not morbid. And since the last 4 nights I've dreamt the same dream of my death and funeral, I feel it's appropriate to prepare a format of what I would like to have done in honor of my life.<br /> <br />I want to be cremated and have my ashes spread on the ocean of southern Cali since I was born and raised there. I only want my immediate family and closest friends on the boat or at the pier...honestly it doesn't have to be expensive. (I'm dead, so it won't kill me..hehe) <br /><br />I do not want a service in any religious buildings. I'd like my siblings to have a celebration of life in the form of a BBQ preferably at one of their homes an open house potluck style. Please have a sing along. Let's keep it light and fun. Keep it simple.<br /><br />I will make sure that my finances are in order. And even though I don't have much I am writing a will to make sure all is taken care of. And if I get more time than I'll probably end up filming my will and editing too! <br /> <br />Ok that's what I have for now.<br /> <br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/19/2604.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/19/s_2604.jpg' border='0' width='181' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-84574141269373557912010-07-19T04:00:00.001-07:002010-07-19T04:00:52.519-07:00SometimesI just want to hide from everyone <br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/19/320.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/19/s_320.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />But instead here I am <br />Open & broken <br />For everyone to see<br />But they don't<br />So I continue on<br /><br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Dreams&z=10'>Dreams</a></p>***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-12765546919122062802010-07-18T17:33:00.001-07:002010-07-18T17:33:22.386-07:00I Love to EAT...Healthy = Skinny?<br /><br />Listening to the audio book Skinny Bitch...mmm definitely a plot to convert to the vegan lifestyle. I enjoy learning more about how I can take better care of myself. I'm not disagreeing with what I'm listening too. I just know myself enough that yes I can eat more vegan, vegetarian, & pescatarian meals in my life...but I crave meats once in a while and I don't believe in denying my wants. I just try to eat smaller portions now :)<br /><br />Healthy = Happy (that's what I believe and work towards) <br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-58612082571282836502010-07-05T11:37:00.001-07:002010-07-05T11:37:19.565-07:00Independence DayI had a nice relaxing 4th celebrating with family & friends. Green apple Smirnoff's are my new favorite drink of choice. Nothing like a nice buzz, good food, and fun company to chat & chill with. Watched the firework show from the pier...next year I plan on making my own ;) But seriously I am. Anyways life is good here on Catalina. <br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/05/1545.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/05/s_1545.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-21300648440053995292010-07-01T13:40:00.001-07:002010-07-01T13:40:29.876-07:006 down 6 to goYes! It is July. Please come out Sun! Another 6 months to finish off this "eventful" year. Reflecting on the past 6 months (because I do that alot) I've seen changes within myself.<br /><br />My heart will never love the same and I consider that to be a good change. I feel I know who I am and what I would do for the womyn I love. I feel I've raised my standards when it comes to my choice in womyn. And I have my friend Mel to thank for that. It's true, the older you get the pickier you get when it comes to matters of the heart. No longer can I use my age to be young and naive. I know better now.<br /><br />Family. I love them so much. No matter what bad shit happens between family I know that with time and love all issues can be worked through. My relationships with my sisters(& sister nieces) have had the opportunity to strengthen and it continues. I have quality friends whom I consider to be my family too. Greg & Ui I will always have much love for them and their wonderful families. I am truly blessed to be loved by my amazing family & friends.<br /><br />Taking charge of my life has been rewarding and can be difficult too. I look forward to a better stronger future. Living in the now to ensure my happiness.<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/01/1521.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/07/01/s_1521.jpg' border='0' width='241' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-81296778802107452172010-06-30T22:23:00.001-07:002010-06-30T22:23:04.329-07:00One Fine DayI dream to be a Mom :)...oh and maybe a wife!

Yes I'm talking about deleting my Facebook, Twitter, and any other online social network I may be a member of. So far I've deleted my Bebo, Myspace, and Hi5 accts. There may be more out there but I'm not sure? Why the delete frenzy?I just feel like I need to spend less time online and more time physically outside and engaged in an activity. I'm planning to learn to paddle board. I'm told it's great for your core balancing. I'm keeping my blog because it's my most current journal and I love reading my family and friends entries. Email is for business and friends too. Other than that I believe my hardest letting go will be Facebook. I have so many photo albums and I need to make sure I have those pics available to print. So it maybe the last acct I get rid of. I just know I've gotta switch things up in my life for better and happier results. Disconnect is definitely coming soon...<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/26/2252.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/26/s_2252.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> <br />Goodbye <br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br /><p class='blogpress_location'>Location:<a href='http://maps.google.com/maps?q=Depths%20of%20my%20Soul&z=10'>Depths of my Soul</a></p>***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-53746544236147754312010-06-12T08:54:00.001-07:002010-06-12T08:54:50.309-07:00BulletproofI'm quietly waiting for my boat ride home to Catalina. This week has certainly been an education. Lots of love & tears I'm emotionally drained in need of rejuvenation and focus, which I know how exactly I will obtain this balance. Don't get me wrong, I wouldn't change a single thing that happened. It is through the events of this last week I return home a stronger womyn. I'm blessed to be surrounded with beautiful, talented, strong womyn both family and friends. My heart is all mine and I will hold and protect it more than ever. Those I share it with are my sisters, family, and close dear friends. <br /><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/12/1114.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/12/s_1114.jpg' border='0' width='248' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/12/1115.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/12/s_1115.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br /> <br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/12/1116.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/12/s_1116.jpg' border='0' width='217' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-30001736845782668942010-06-08T23:38:00.001-07:002010-06-08T23:38:12.790-07:00Family starts with LoveThese past couple months I've been blessed to focus working on my relationships within my own family. I have much love and admiration for all my siblings and their children. I've learned that life's many challenges, though overwhelming at moments, with time and love, relationships can be renewed and strengthened. I've attended anniversaries, birthdays, graduations, and most recently welcoming my 12th grandneice into the world. These events are priceless and I look forward to more.<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/2577.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/s_2577.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Bunz & Elani<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/2578.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/s_2578.jpg' border='0' width='210' height='281' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />My Grands<br /><br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/2579.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/s_2579.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='125' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />5 of 10<br /><br /><center><a href='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/2580.jpg'><img src='http://blogpress.w18.net/photos/10/06/08/s_2580.jpg' border='0' width='281' height='224' style='margin:5px'></a></center><br />Sibs <br /><br /><br /><br />- Posted using BlogPress from my Kick ass iPhone!!!!<br />***~_Bunz_~***http://www.blogger.com/profile/14574383742945967171noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4780808459245897421.post-46535487004854968392010-05-04T14:22:00.001-07:002010-05-04T17:08:53.667-07:00JournalsToday I've been unpacking more of my things.
